Was being able to complete the 9-day Aguinaldo Masses!
Hubby and I are so blessed to finally have the time, energy and help to go on with the early morning rituals. It is such a blessing for us indeed, you see ever since we got married, we didn't have the chance to complete the mass year after year. What with the kids growing up, sleepless nights feeding them and other parenting stuff that we had our hands full on.
Every year, we were able to serve as choir in the parish for a particular day of the mass but not complete it. With all the hustle and bustle around us, people buying gifts and prepping food for the Christmas dinner and festivities, we had our hands full of practices to sing during the masses in two different venues, gathering for the Family Day in the Familia Community, preparing the kids for a cousin's wedding and having to sit down through hours of traffic. We were also able to sneak in a dinner date which was fun and enlightening since we had time to talk about plans, not just for us but also for the community we serve in. And we hope to see the realization of these plans soon, with God blessing each of them.. :)
I write this in bed, resting a sore body from all the tasks done from the past days. Hubby is also nursing a cold but had to work today, his forced leave days starts tomorrow. Even the kids are with cough and colds, what with the cold Baguio weather.
Our vocal chords tired from singing, but no regrets since everything is for God's greater glory! He blessed us with talents, to share not to keep. May we always have a meaningful Christmas! :)
