“For unto us a child is born, to us a son is given, and dominion will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” Isaiah 9:6
Merry Christmas everyone!!! Sharing our favorite Christmas verse and Achie’s little artwork. Hope you are all having a wonderful time with family and friends! TRULY it is the most wonderful time of the year!
Just thought of sharing how we celebrated Christmas this year. As usual, we attended the Christmas eve mass and the kids are really happy to be witnessing again the processional of baby Jesus to our Church’s nativity area. The lights are out and only the spotlight was on Baby Jesus. I was so happy that they were all now big enough to sing O holy night with the Church crowd, even little guy was trying to hum (last Christmas eve mass he was fast asleep in his stroller).
Excited to see Baby Jesus again
Anyway, the kids were so excited to see the Nativity and get a chance to see Baby Jesus. I can only pray that we can keep our focus on the Lord, on baby Jesus, so that the Prince of Peace will continue to reign in our hearts.
Also during Christmas eve, we were able to watch the Midnight Mass aired at ABSCBN and celebrated by Fr Jerry Orbos. It is so wonderful. So touching. If you have time, search the youtube upload of last midnight’s mass, and I am sure you to will be touched.
Our imperfect birthday cake for Jesus
And to top our celebration of Jesus’ Brthday last night, we had to celebrate with a lopsided cake, a bit disastrous. little guy was cranky when we came home from church and he was able to reach for the cake box (salamat at nakascotch tape at ribbon pa) and accidentally dropped it on the floor face down. Achie cried because she thought Jesus will not have a wonderful cake for His birthday so we kept on assuring her that Jesus will understand. And that it does not need to be perfect each time because even the circumstances in Christ’s birth wasn’t perfect either.
When it came to cake blowing time everyone was happy and excited again! Iba talaga ang pasko with kids. Ang saya! I just hope we were able to impart to them the real reason for the season 💙🎄🎉🎍❤💚🎂
Again Merry Christmas everyone and cheers to more blessings this coming 2019!
