What is your Christmas wish list for yourself?
Most of my prayers are already answered by our Lord Jesus Christ. I guess what I ken ask more is continuous good health to love and serve my family, loved ones and people who loves me. Everybody loves promotion and increase of wage since that's what I am aiming before 2015 ends. Well I guess I will look forward for it if it comes I am gladly to accept if not then I guess God has another plan for me.
Since I am not getting younger as the days goes by, I am planning to have my own business too, travel around the world and explore the beauty of the world. Of course, dream house. Who doesn't likes to have one for his own?
I attend the mass last Sunday (November 8, 2015) and able to listen to the gospel of the Lord. It was new and strange for me to hear a gospel of the Lord preceded by a foreigner priest. He looks like an Italian priest. As he started the celebration of the Lord, you will noticed that he has a commanding voice yet pleasant to hear and a bit entertaining I must say. He knows how to speak Tagalog but a few lines though.
So after the mass since I have to meet a friend of mine in SM Manila and to give him a movie treat as promised. Good thing I have a free movie pass from SM. I bought the ticket in advance for 6PM show (The Last Witch Hunter). So we ken have more time for window shopping and visit Intramuros. He also like to return the favor of treating me for a lunch (Ramen Cool). Yipeee! Love it.
Check it out how tasty their food are. The bowl was soooooo big and the broth is soooo tasty.
Done with our lunch and we are ready to go to our next stop, Intramuros. Intramuros was breath taking many old churches and streets are preserved in time and still alive in this New Era.
We used underpass to return to SM Manila. We encountered an old lady begging for an alms and selling plastic bags. I ken see in here eyes that we was exhausted and hungry. It was almost 4PM in the afternoon when we saw her. Since we have more time left to spare we visit supermarket and buy things that might help her for the next few days.
As I handed over the plastic bag, she was surprise and a happy. I saw glow and warmth of smile on Lola's face. I really like to help her more but I am a tight budget this week and until first week of January 2016. So I give what I ken give to her. I realized that I spread the good news of the Lord to be a giver a happy giver just like our Lord nothing to expect in return. I also believe in the quote saying "A simple act of caring creates an endless ripple that comes back to you".
I just wanted to help Lola that day and putting myself in here shoes. What if I was like here?
Going to the question, How do you plan to give back to others this Christmas?
I'm starting to enjoy giving help to people who are in need especially for elders. I will extend help to children, Lola's and Lolo's as much as I ken. Helping others wasn't bad at all and experiencing a fulfillment was really great.
If we ken show care for the needs of others someone angel in disguise will also help you in return maybe not today even not tomorrow but in time of your in need the help you need will be there.
Here's another way you ken help. Check out the SM Cares Bears of Joy campaign and know how you ken take part in the season of "gifting" (http://smcares.com.ph/newsevents/?p=993)
