It’s been a challenging year for many especially those who were affected by the various calamities – natural or man-made. We’ve had typhoons, floods, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions this 2024. There were also fires, epidemics, crashes, and other incidents that caused so many fatalities and injuries that were life-changing or altering. Road crashes alone this year have caused to much pain and sorrow. [I was watching the news last night and there was a report of an entire family perishing in a road crash in Mindanao.] And yet there are still so much we should be thankful for. We should count our blessings and never lose hope that things will be better, that we will soon get a break from these challenges. While we continue to pray for forgiveness, healing, wisdom and prosperity, we should also strive to live as a light for others – doing our part to make this world a better place for everyone!

Maligayang Pasko!
