One of the gift that I received last Christmas was the pillow am holding in the picture, with lettering Nobody Nobody But You from the song Nobody But You. It was given to me by my niece who took time to buy it when she felt depressed in school, so I treasure the gift and appreciate what she has given to me.

The Calling
Dec. 8, 2009
It was our christmas party at the office and at the same time the Thanksgiving Mass of Fr. Jhoen a friend from way back in Singles for Christ. I have to choose which occasion to attend and I chose the mass. It was a dream come true for this young man to serve God full time. After long years of waiting and discerning finally the man is for priesthood. The time when we were at SFC this man is full of wisdom, he is always invited in giving talks. Sometimes we shared our faith encounters. I happened to read his blog while he was studying in Rome. While listening to his homily I was touched by what he said. The joy in his heart cannot be contained. The gist of the homily is the acronym GIFT. G stands for grace, grace that comes from God perhaps in the form of blessings which oftentimes we fail to acknowledge. I stands for Intimacy, how do we become intimate with God, by having a personal relationship with Him through prayer.
F is for family and friends who are always there to guide us along the way. T is for our complete trust in God no matter what. The greatest gift of all is Love. Are we a gift to others?
