Christmas must be the time for GIVING.
Super Typhoon Yolanda left 5,500
killed, 1175 missing and 21,615 with over 10.3 billion Peso worth of battered
infrastructures but brought billions of hands and still counting to lift the
victims. Countries around the world have dropped tons of relief goods in
Visayas. Establishments provide closed cans where customers can drop their help
for the people devastated by Yolanda. Television networks aired the appalling
condition of affected areas to persuade viewers to help.
This is the very essence of
Christmas – to give, to help selflessly. It is when Jesus was born to start the
way of God, the way to God. He sacrificed His life to save our sins, to fill
our despair, and to show us that there is life after death.
Now that our brothers and sisters
in Visayas are facing the wrath of nature this Christmas, let us give them a
hand to stand and to be thankful that Jesus has been born again in every hearts
of Filipinos. Let us live out the true meaning of Christmas. Let us live in an
oasis of giving and helping, for that is how Christmas should be.
