We can’t live alone

Hello what’s up guys? It’s the 18th day of the month and yes we are 7 days or 1 week away for the most awaited celebration of the year. It’s Christmas time, the best time of the year. Do you agree? Well earlier, we finally made it to anticipated mass in the nearby parish. We almost didn’t make it because it was raining just like yesterday but then my boys and I were eager to attend even though it’s raining. When we got to the church, the rain got heavier, but all the church goer didn’t mind. Good thing there was a tent outside the church, so everyone was safe from the rain.

We got there just in time before the mass started. To be honest, this is the first mass I attended in a while. I can’t attend before because kids aren’t allowed yet. I remembered last year, we attended the Christmas and New Year mass in the car parked outside the church. We can’t leave the kids alone at home so we had no choice but to take them with us. Going back to the mass earlier, since it was my first time again, I listened attentively to the priest.

No one can stand alone

This was the priest first word, right there and then I knew where the homily will take. He says that everyone of us needs companionship because we can’t make without getting a help from others. He compared it to the cousins Mary and Elizabeth. According to the priest interpretation about the time Mary visited her pregnant cousin was because to help her in a way because as we all know Elizabeth got pregnant very late. Just like in our life, we can’t do things alone, we oftentimes need help from the others most specially if it’s a group project. They said two heads is definitely better than one.

We need others to appreciate us

Getting an appreciation from others can motivate us. Do you agree with that? Personally I do, as you all know I am into felt crafting. Whenever I do some projects and the clients make a comment on how pretty it is, I can’t helped myself to feel overwhelmed. I know some of you are like that too, so if you think someone deserves the appreciation never hesitate to tell it to them. You’ll never know how your words might change the mood they are feeling at the moment.

We need others to share our joy

No matter how joyful your situation is or how blessed you are in your chosen career, it’ll be all meaningless once you celebrate it alone. We need our family, friends, special someone whom we can share the joy and have fun. Life is too short to spend it alone and having no one beside you. Isn’t it much enjoyable if you can share your achievements with the people who truly care for you. Have you watched the movie Cast Away by Tom hanks, it’s a great movie to be honest. In the movie where he was trapped in an island, he had made a lot of achievements, from starting a fire, catching fish and so on, in order to survive but in the end he was lonely because no one is there to celebrate his little accomplishments.

No man is an island

The priest ended his homily saying the popular quote “No man is an island” and I couldn’t agree more. My boys favorite movie back when they were still a toddler was the famous lightning mcqueen “Cars” I can no longer recall how many times we’ve watched this movie back then. The story is about Mcqueen a champion race car who is full of himself. He considered himself a one man show, that’s why almost all of the staff in his team left him. At the end of the movie, he realized that every part of the team is important and his success happened because of the great effort and teamwork of all.

Bottomline

I can’t helped but to reminisce the day I went to Manila to study. I thought I couldn’t make it, maybe because of my dreams to finish it no matter what it takes I achieved it. But the great part was that, my relatives, friends, and special someone was there to motivate me and inspired me. Last but not the least, they were there ready to give me support physically, emotionally and financially. I honestly can’t make it without their help, and God’s guidance. I owe them big for making my life complete.

This was supposed to be my article yesterday but because I was so tired from my daily activities I didn’t finished it. Once again, thank you everyone for the unending love and appreciation from all of you. May we all have a day full of love and grace from the Lord above.
