Why Little Thing Means a Lot?

Small could be great. Is it possible? I would be sharing my personal experience here what I did which seemed to negligible but yet it had a great impact as far as service is concerned. I couldn't refuse or neglect of doing such deed.

In every little thing we do, something big is achieved. Something big is satisfied. Something big shared. This reminds of the of short and concise wise saying  of an ancient Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu. It says, "a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."

I am correlating this to what I have done with the thought in mind that a small thing I have made that day is great enough for the one that I have helped. It's simple thing for I know it means nothing. I have never realized that something would happen inexplicably.  Something is awesome and something is worth remembering by. Good deeds are deserving. They are worth doing, expecting nothing in return.

Misunderstood Christmas

Christmas Season is one of the joyous time of the year. Everyone has almost celebrated Christmas in their own way. But others who are least in life aren't experiencing what is Christmas all about.

We know that the Birth of Jesus was foretold by the Prophets of old as it is written in the Book of Isaiah 9:6, "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace."

And it is in the New Testament particularly in the books of Mathew, Luke, and John who told the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem from a virgin as what foretold by Isaiah 7:14 that says that the Lord himself will give a sign that the virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son.

Light the World: 'Let Your Light Shine'

Christmas Seasons are the joyous time of the year. Young and old are celebrating Christmas and they have so many ways of relating to them the true value of Christmas. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has its own way of doing it by letting their "light" shine by serving its members in various ways.

Our youngest son, Gilbor Junior  is one of the speakers in our combined Sacrament meeting of the La Carlota First and La Carlota 2nd branches. Christmas which has so many ways of sharing it, he opened his message.

Gilbor Junior

"Looking at the mirror, I see light, a reflection of myself," he told. This means that he is aware that he does exist. As a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, he is reminded of the earthly ministry of Jesus Christ. Jesus' examples serve as the light of the world.

Thus this 2017, the Church as adapted plan of activities for #LightTheWorld", a calendar of 25 ways for 25 days.

"Each Christmas, we celebrate the life of Jesus Christ, the Light of the World. By following His teachings, we let His light shine—in our lives and in the lives of others. This Christmas season, use this calendar for inspiration as you plan activities to help #LightTheWorld by serving those in need," said the introduction of this calendar of activities for the members to do.

One of those plan in the said calendar of activities for 25 day is "“Rejoice, and be exceeding glad.” (Matthew 5:12). It's Christmas seasons. It's time to share what you have in abundance or the blessings received so that everyone would be happy.
