"Ibang iba na yung pasko ngayon kumpara noon"

Ito yung madalas kong mabasa at marinig na sinasabi ng karamihan. Maaaring nasasabi nila ito dahil sa mga naging pagbabago sa buhay nila. Maaaring noon ay bata pa tayo na hindi pa nananakaw ng kabusyhan ng buhay yung excitement at kasiyahan natin pag magpapasko. Maaaring noon ay parang madaming answered prayers tapos ngayon, medyo nasa waiting season na muna.

Marami satin maaaring nakaka-relate sa, "di ko ramdam yung pasko", "hindi na nakaka-excite yung pasko", "ibang iba na talaga yung pasko ngayon kumpara noon", pero maganda ding maalala natin na this season should not be defined by our feelings.

Yes, maaaring maraming reason para malungkot tayo at maramdaman na hindi na ito yung gaya ng dati, and the Lord understands that. At the same time, God wants us to live beyond what we feel. The Bible says, "We live by faith and not by sight." (2 Corinthians 5:7). It means na we live by faith and not by what we feel.

I believe that God wants to remind us this season na kahit ano man yung bigat na napagdaanan natin sa buhay, lalo ngayong taon na siyang naging dahilan kung bakit parang di natin maramdaman ang pasko, He wants us to remember na this season is all about His love for us. Na minahal Niya tayo at pinatunayan Niya na di Niya tayo kayang pabayaan (Romans 5:8). Na mabuti Siya at tapat saating mga buhay, at hindi Siya nakadepende kung lagi din ba tayong mabuti at tapat sa Kanya (Ephesians 2:8-9).

Ramdam mo man yung pasko o hindi, excited ka man o sakto lang, it is good to be reminded that this season is not about us, it's about Jesus. Imagine, halos buong mundo, pinagdiriwang itong kapanahunang ito.

Friends, this season is to remember God's love and saving grace. It is to remember Jesus Christ. It is to remember that He came to save us, because we cannot save ourselves (John 3:17). And it is to remember to choose to be thankful sa paparating na pasko kahit parang iba na ito kumpara noon, kahit parang tumanda nalang talaga tayo at nasanay sa mga blessings na minsan naooverlook, naa-underappreciate, o naa-underrate natin. It is good to be reminded that having a grateful and a thankful heart is not about what we feel. It is a condition of the heart (1 Thessalonians 5:18). Ito ay pinipili ng ating puso.

So, this season, I pray na pillin natin higit sa mga nararamdaman natin, yung pagpapasalamat. Yung pagpapatawad. Yung pagbibigayan. Yung pag alala sa lahat ng kabutihan ng Diyos (Isaiah 25:1). At higit sa lahat, yung katotohanan na ibinigay ng Diyos ang kanyang nag iisang anak para sa kaligtasan nating lahat (John 3:16). He didn't have to, but He did anyway.

Siguro hindi naman talaga nag iba yung pasko ngayon kumpara noon. Lalo kung alam natin na ang tunay na kahulugan nito ay hindi patungkol satin, kundi patungkol kay Kristo. Baka yung pananaw lang natin ang nag iba. Yung emosyon natin. Yung pagkasanay sa mga mabubuting bagay at pagpapala ng Diyos. Baka nadistract lang din tayo sa ka-busyhan ng buhay.

Balik tayo sa tunay na kahulugan ng pasko - si Hesus. Siya yung tunay na pinagmumulan ng kasiyahan, ng excitement, at ng pag-asa sa buhay. Kaya tara, sama-sama tayong ma-excite ulit. Maganda ang buhay. Maganda yung mga ganitong mga panahon. Let's bring back the child in us. Yung hindi sobrang busy at pressure sa mga demands ng buhay. Just enjoy this season and every moment of ourlives because God has been so good to us. So, with this, I wish you all a Merry merry Christmas! Grace and peace to you!

"Not a grain of rice, not a drop of milk from anyone to feed my children".

Instead, all throughout our lives, nakasanayan na namin na kami ang laging tumutulong sa iba.

Minsan pala, mahirap din yung na witness ng mga bata na never kaming nag importa (humingi ng tulong) sa ibang tao, kamag anak man o kaibigan kasi hindi naging makakapal ang mga mukha nila.

Sa tingin ko kasi, parang asset din yun ng mga ibang tao and somehow, I wish na naipakita ko rin sa kanila that it is still okay to ask even for a little favor.

Wise men journeyed from the East to Jerusalem, saying:
Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him. . . .
When they saw the star, they rejoiced with ­exceeding great joy.
And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh. [Matthew 2:2, 10–11]
Since that time the spirit of giving gifts has been present in the mind of each Christian as he commemorates the Christmas season.
