A joyful Christmas to all...

...from my family to yours!
======================================================================

"Dear brothers and sisters, today, in this world, in this humanity, is born the Savior, who is Christ the Lord. Let us pause before the Child of Bethlehem. Let us allow our hearts to be touched, let us allow ourselves to be warmed by the tenderness of God; we need his caress. God is full of love: to him be praise and glory forever! God is peace: let us ask him to help us to be peacemakers each day, in our life, in our families, in our cities and nations, in the whole world. Let us allow ourselves to be moved by God’s goodness."
         - Pope Francis
           From his 2013 Christmas Message


Joy to the world... today and everyday!


Simple but joyful, quiet but fun, exchange of inexpensive gifts but given with heartfelt intention to share blessings... an opportunity to joyfully celebrate God's love as one family, amid all the gloom that the challenges of 2013 brought.  Tuloy ang Pasko!  

Joy to the world, the Lord has come!  Him in our midst and us being in His loving and merciful heart is all that matters.  We continue to live a joyful life... a life of service to Him - in love and in peace, and sustained by faith and hope.  Merry Christmas!
