Christmas is indeed a meaningful time of celebration of God's love. Such preparation and commencement would be fruitful and great if everyone took part in sharing, reconciliation, and loving one another despite limitations and imperfections not just for a day or an Advent season but a daily and living experience with family and others.

| A shared life with my beloved family |
Let me share one's reminiscing encounter with my great grandparents who are closed to my heart. It seemed that their teachings and life's inspirations had more deepened my faith and response in mission in life in my family, relatives and those least favored. More so, my varied experiences in community involvement since then had made my life more meaningful especially when you shared your life, responsibility and blessings to others particularly the least favored. Can't express that feeling of joy and enlightenment once you've done such good deed of service without an expected thing in return... These thoughts of mine I'm sharing with you are what I feel and thought of... 'tis true! I may not be perfect but I wanted to do so such act that makes me feel good and happy.

Certainly, my sensitivity to the needs had instilled and created an initiative to respond to the call of time to be the symbolic living water that had showered and blessed me in the midst of the daylight. How it happen? Could be a miracle and covenant to that call of making a good difference in my simple way of being Ivy? This may have another meaning in my life as Pisces relevant and related to my favorite symbolism, water and vine, that had connections and meaning to my existence.

| A point of being hyrophilic |
As time passed by, I felt that those unexpected blessings and surprising events in my life journey had a point and a reminder for me to express and share. Being a person, we're blessed in many ways. Such giftedness could be shared in mission. I believe that one's existence in this world has a great purpose. It's up to us how would we live and love to do something good for the common good of all.

Sincerely, we could make a good difference in varied expressions of our love to God and others... For instance, I find my month Palawan mission a worthwhile and meaningful life experience being with Palawan natives last April 23-May 23, 2011. It's not just a break but a worthwhile reality in giving one's time and shared mission in literacy, grooming, and showcase of talents for others to grow and develop and hopefully in the future they'll be better and be good assets in the society as the future of the nation.

Having the sense and happiness to serve others in teaching, feeding and facilitating fun games with the children and youth, had been in my heart and program of facilitating activities in community outreach with my fellow leaders before and recently, with my beloved students and young people as I quote them, I-envoys (I as instrument / agent of change), who volunteer themselves and desire to be part of unique services for the common good of others. Doing so to alleviate the needy had touched others and oneself making me realize that there's really a different feeling once you served and helped. It made me felt cried almost and expressed silently that we should be grateful of what we have and find time to share a spare time to make Christmas not just for a day but anytime if not all the time... for Christmas is that Christ is in the mass (people) and must be within us in thoughts, deeds and actions.

Is this a call? I thought that my life would not be complete if I would not live and love this mission for others. There could be other reasons why I did those acts where I am called to serve and be part of this shared mission in living and loving others and doing so that would make me better as a person for this is what I feel and I want do so... an inner feeling and a call for others for you. Let's celebrate life and Christmas . Live life in a shared mission. ..making Jesus known and love...because I love you and I love to do so... Love others as you love oneself and love God above! : )
