Last December 8, was the feast of the Immaculate Concepcion.
Time permitted for me to attend mass together with some of my batchmates, and the priest gave a very nice homily, telling us how much we are always blessed.
I'm always writing about sharing blessings, about always putting first what and how to give more to others than waiting to receive. I never thought that there could be a missing piece in that puzzle until that homily - the question of, how can we give something to others if we do not have anything at all?
I guess, I've never thought about this because I always have more. But I would like to think that I never did think about where to get things to give because I believe that we always have something that we can share - not necessarily material things, but maybe a piece of ourselves, a prayer, a shoulder or even a hand to hold :) But then comes the question of how to make ourselves give when we really have nothing left to give even ourselves? Unfortunately, I think that kind of situation may happen.
Buti na lang, nakinig ako sa homily :) Where the priest reaffirmed my belief, that we are always blessed with God's Grace. and that is enough for us to be blessings to others. That is enough blessing in our lives that we should share and that we should give more.
Some may call it religion, some faith. I say it's a way of life - knowing that you always have something that should not only be contained for yourself but is meant to be shared and that no matter what happens, we would always be blessed, because that is how it should be. Life is a blessing and being able to breathe a new day everyday is a form of being blessed. :) this is a gift that we should also always offer to others whenever we can. :)
