Christmas!

Whew! We're caught unaware as time runs so fast.Probably, everyone feels the heat and the beat of the holiday rush.Mature and adult alike may celebrate Christmas in the name of Christ.
I was once branded with my cousin as anti-social, naive and irrelevant and some family members bacause I don't see anything special in any occasion such as this.I consider everyday as equally important for everybody. Infact in the Bible there was no exact date when Christ was born. It remains a mystery until today.Why is it that the world is celebrating December 25 as Christmas or Christ and Mass.Certainly, we differ in perspectives.!! But for me the real essence of this event is his birth wherein the sins of mankind was totally forgiven and we are free from condemnation if we accept and receive Him as our personal and only Savior. God reighs in our hearts forever.

The Benefit of Giving

I remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that he said," It is more blessed to give than to receive"( Acts 20:35)
In our school where I am teaching needs a pretty good amount of money to have a better school improvement for our learners but the department can't afford to shoulder the expenses so teachers are oblige to contribute to realize some of the school's goals.
Many teachers murmured with another burden to carry for infact our salary is not enough to supply our daily needs.But it is blessed to give than to receive. The Lord Himself humbled and carried the sins of many because of His great love and mercy towards us. In like manner God wants us to follow His footsteps. The decision lies in our hands.

Discipline

It's said that education starts at home.And probably the first lesson we had from our parents is about discipline. They taught us how to behave properly and to have a good manners. The result of this training taught us how to pray, respect adults, and maintain proper hygience.

A bright future awaits people who maintain discipline in their lives.And they can serve as role models for the younger generation.If we don't have enough of it yet in our lives, I think now is the right time to make adjustments as we enter a new millenium.

Heaven and Hell-The Real Difference

A man spoke with the Lord about heaven and hell.The Lord said to the man'"Come, I will show you hell."They entered a room where a group of people sat around a huge pot of stew.Everyone was famished, desperate and starving.Each held a spoon had a handle taht reached the pot, but each spoon had a handle so much longer than their own arm that it could not be used to get the stew in their own mouths. The suffering was terrible.
"Come, now I will show you heaven," the Lord said after a while.They entered another room, identical to the first- the pot of stew, the group of people, the same long-hnadled spoons. But there everyone was happy and well-nourished.
"I don't understand, said the man."Why are they happy here when they were miserable in the other oom and everything was the same?"
The LORD smiled. "Ah, it is simple," he said. "Here they have learned to feed each other."
