As we begin the new year, let us all reflect how our life
was last year.
Life is beautiful but living is not easy nor hard. I always
believe that everything will be fine if God is with us and
if we allow Him to direct us in the path He wants us to go.
Let us listen to His voice and let us do our share in making
our life worth living.
New year, new beginnings, new life but our God is always
the same... He will forever be the Holy and Mighty One.
My husband and I, together with our parents wishes every
family a prosperous, peaceful and colorful year 2009.May
God continue to shower His blessings to everyone.
Happy New Year!

A variety of dance numbers was given by the kids and young
adults.As the live band played people were dancing and everyone

Real Tree for Christmas
I was amazed when I saw a real Christmas tree in the store.
It comes in different sizes and different prices. It was my
first time to see a real one. Most people prefer to use the
artificial tree because it saves money and they can always
reuse it for next year. But then again nothing compares to a
real one.
Today is December 1st no wonder why Christmas trees are all
over the place, 24 days more to go!

On Being Remembered
Don’t you feel happy when someone remembers you? Remembering
someone can be done in many ways. Sending letters, emails,
making a phone call or by texting. While others remember you
by sending a gift, some do it in silence. Praying for the
people we remember is the best way because it comes from the
heart and it is free.
My husband and I were happy to know that someone always
remembers the both of us especially whenever there is an
occasion. On our Wedding Anniversary my family in the
Philippines sent us greeting card. When my father in law
and his wife went to Las Vegas for vacation they brought
a t-shirt for me and my husband and this past Thanksgiving
we received two invitations, one is from my father in law
and the other is from the Filipino Community. Isn’t it great?
When you are being remembered, you are loved.

Thanksgiving 2008
Thank You is a very kind word. It is very simple but the
echo is lasting. Although the word Thank You is very easy
to say oftentimes we forgot to say it. Behind the many
reasons of saying Thank You, there’s a lot of ways to say
it too. God is the best reason for celebrating Thanksgiving
Day. This is the day when family and friends gathered and
dine together.
My first Thanksgiving Day in U.S.A. was very meaningful not
only because it’s my first but simply because I celebrated
it with family and friends whose common denominator is GOD.
I am forever thankful to Him for He truly made all things
beautiful in His time. Let the praises ring!

Preparing for Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving day is one of the biggest holidays here in U.S.A.
Most American homes celebrate the event with their family
and friends. Roast turkey, cranberry sauce, pumpkin and pecan pie
and some other recipes will be prepared.
At this time when the date for Thanksgiving is getting closer,
the line is long in almost every counter in every supermarket.
Almost all the shopping cart has turkey on it and pies ( pumpkin
and pecan ).This year is going to be the first Thanksgiving day
that my husband and I will celebrate here together. Not to miss
the tradition, we had our shopping done before the rush hour.
I always believe that no matter how tough life is, there's always
something that we have to be thankful of. Giving thanks doesn’t
have to be always having party. The best simple way of giving
thanks is through prayer. Let’s make everyday a Thanksgiving day.

Feast of Sharing
Yesterday was the date set for the Feast of Sharing in
Brownsville, Texas. The Feast of Sharing is an annual free
dinner for all sponsored by H-E-B (here everything is better)
supermarkets. H-E-B is one of the biggest chains of supermarkets
across Texas and some parts of Mexico. This event first started
in 1988.
Many people went to Jacob Brown Auditorium for the event. The
line going in was very long yet the organizer managed it very
well. It was very smooth, no pushing and everyone enjoyed the
event. A lot of food and drinks were served and a live band to
entertain the people. Volunteers, mostly students were there
to render service in serving food such us turkey, mashed potato,
pumpkin pie, vegetables, bread, butter, cranberry sauce, sodas,
milk, chocolate drink, water and popcorn. People were dancing as
the live band played the music.
I personally felt very happy to see that a company like H-E-B has
a program like the Feast of Sharing for all the people in this
season of sharing. The gesture that the company has for all is
evident that Christ is alive. Christmas is indeed the season of
sharing.
