Celebration of life. September 20, 2021 60 years of blessings

When I was asked by my family what preparation do I have in mind to celebrate my 60th birthday

I said let me think …..

I started to dream a lot of dreams.

1. Dreams to just celebrate with my family.

2. To have a personal retreat. A day of reflection and thanks giving

3. A day to share my blessings with those in needs

4. A day to celebrate with my church community Couples for Christ and Charismatic

5. A day to celebrate with some of my co-workers

A task which is so difficult to accomplish

Indeed it all happened.

Started with a day of reflection and thanksgiving

Thursday September 16

Driving home from work, there was so much traffic that I decided to take another route and for some reason I ended up at the Saint John the Baptist Adoration Chapel

It was so nice to be there alone talking to God, thanking him and asking God to guide, lead me in my senior years.

I cannot imagine i already reached that age.

Time flies so fast. I reflected what could I have done more or should have done in my life in those 60 years.

A lot more I think. A lot more

What could I have avoided, hmmm.

That is life. I cannot please everyone. Just did my best, did it one at a time

God’s way God’s time

September 17, Friday

I went to help in the preparation of food for the Homeless

It was likewise a way of honoring my friend Maria Guevara who founded the Vallejo Together. Celebrating her birthday September 18.

She may not be with us but will always remember the dedication and service she had done for the community

Saturday September 18

Went to mass after work and was so happy to celebrate the feast day of Penafrancia

Father Jess Soriano gave me a blessing for my birthday

September 19, 2021

More than a month ago we already had decided to feed the homeless.

Indeed that was a very joyous celebration with a lot of volunteers from Couples for Christ

The homeless people was so happy, they told us food was so good. Thanks for Sister Nilda and Brother Amos who prepared the recipes and food to be serve
