ginagawa nalang XMAS or happy Hollidays.
 Nawawala na yung meaning ng totoong reason bakit ba may pasko. Sinasabi ng iba araw
ng bigayan. In fact hindi naman bigayan yan its about of being materialistic. Iniisip mo
yung regalo mo. Nasan si Jesus dun?tell me? Minsan si santa clause pa yung design ng

 Some of you is still walking in darkness right now or over stay in darkness yung tipong
hopeless ka na. or dahil yun naman yung uso ayaw mo ng pakawalan yung sarili mo sa
kasalanan mo. Tipong iniisip mo na sya yung forever mo pero may asawa naman un. You
 are hopeless,empty, miserable. Just Like what God promise to Isaiah your misery is only
temporary and soon you will see the Light.
