Where is Jesus in your Christmas ?

 

In just a few days the year will come to a close  and new plans will be made for the new year ..Christmas is just a few days away and people are all busy with the so called Chrsitmas rush . Then we wonder where is Jesus in all these . Just receive a text message asking about this . Where is Jesus in all these things ? Sometimes the focus becomes the celebration and not anymore about Jesus coming to save us all from our sins.

But what is the real meaning of Christmas to us ? How do we honor Jesus in this celebration ? How do we celebrate God's glory ?

But I wish to thank the Lord for all the blessings of the year and the years to come . I feel so healthy and grateful for all of God's blessings to me and my family 

Merry Chruistmas to all and a blessed new year ahead . 

Philippians 4:13

 This Bible verse strengthens our Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ , that we can rely on Him with all the challenges we have in our daily life. There are times in our life we feel helpless and alone so only God can give us the strength that we need to continue the daily struggles of life. When we are hopeless the Lord will give us the light and Joy that we need . When we are tired He will give us the rest we badly need for us to recuperate and move back.

The Lord is our strength and salvation . He keeps us grounded and well . He keep us motivated and willing . He makes way when it seems to be no way . The Lord is there with us every step of the way . We are vulnerable but we wait for  the right time and make the right move when needed ,  

"I can do all things through Christ  who strengthens me " 

INTO THE PRESENT MOMENT

 Sometimes our mind is preoccupied by the past or the future . We dwell on those two things and letting the present moment slip by . We live in the past of regrets or the what ifs losing the essence of enjoyment . Then there are moments we enjoy thinking of our future self and dreaming all our bucket lists we wish to achieve and have . So we savor in the moment of dream land. 

Then we wake up on the present moment failing to appreciate on what we have right now , on what is given on our plate and face the challenges of today . 

So the focus is really on the present moment , on what matter most in our lives . Most of the time we lost our focus  because we rely on the past or the future when the best thing to do is  to enjoy the present moment .

Because the present is for us to enjoy , to savor and be proud of our daily accomplishments no matter how lowly or grand it may be . Appreciate all the blessings that has been given to us . We fail  because we did not appreciate what we have at the moment

To God be all the glory |||

Isabela

 

Has recently been in Isabela to visit Alonzo and spend a few days with him. It was such a wonderful time  to be reunited with him . 

Has also spend time with nature and enjoyed the mountain view of Nueva Ecija and Nueva Viscaya . Nature has a way of wakening up your spirit or your soul . To be one with nature is to be one with God too. 

Got a taste again of pancit buko at Kesingo of Cabagan Nueva Viscaya .  This is the only place I have a taste of pancit buko. Because we are trying to live up to the no rice challenge we had a lot of pancit this time - pancit cabagan , pancit batil patong and the pancit buko . But we had a taste of yang chow rice and other Chinese delicacies at Yang Chow in Cauayan Isabela which is near SM Cauayan .

It was amazing to visit the province of Isabela although it takes more than 9 hours to travel going there  but worth the time as I see Alonzo along the way .     

 

How to write your To Do List

On a Monday morning find time to write everything you need to do for the week . If you are extra eager you can do this on a Sunday night or afternoon. But since most of us would like to enjoy our weekends with our family might as well do it on Monday morning as our week is about to start .

Once these are all written down on our planner or notebooks . Prioritize your activities on terms of urgency and importance . Allocate it throughout the week to ensure they are all accomplish as the week ends .

Find time to do family quality time  and errands together with your work responsibilities all throughout your work week.

Once you plotted your activities , make sure you find the time to accomplish them . When everything is done , another week comes and you do the process again . Those you failed to do this week can be part of your next weeks " To Do List ."0

Enjoy and have a good time .
