Why I Love Christmas? >> http://www.facebook.com/note.php?created&¬e_id=10150107999510701&id=67936175235
Why I Love Christmas?
I love Christmas.
I love the Christmas meals.
Not just the food, mind you.
Like a few minutes ago, I just came from my Mom’s house for our Christmas lunch.
My sisters, their husbands, and most of the kids were there—and we ate and talked the whole time.
We had a seven-hour lunch!
As most of us were trying to be healthy, we didn’t have traditional Christmas dishes like Lechon, Crispy Pata, and Ham. Instead, we had green leafy salad with yogurt, fish fillet, and vegetarian pasta.
Impressed? Don’t be. Being the Sanchez household (where everyone is sweet), we still had Leche Flan, Apple pie, and two gallons of ice cream. Haha!
Yes, our food was fantastic. But our Christmas meal wasn’t about the food.
It was about being together.
It was about love, family, relationships, and all that good stuff.
After our lunch and before desert, we snuck into the prayer room, sat on the floor, and sang a few songs together.
For years, I used to play the guitar for our family Christmas worship.
But this year, my son Bene did us the favor of strumming the guitar. And his cousin, Joseph, played a few more Christmas songs for us. I have officially retired as the main music ministry of the family.
And around me were my young nieces and nephews—all serving God and all enjoying a deep relationship with God. The feeling was unbelievable.
Oh, to see the next generation take on the baton and serve the Lord. What else should I seek for?
Before the altar, each of us took turns thanking God for His blessings for 2010.
We then prayed for new blessings for 2011.
It was awesome.

Don’t Be Too Hard On Yourself!
One day, a very discouraged man visited Norman Vincent Peale. He told the good Reverend he had nothing to live for.
“Everything is gone, everything is hopeless. I’ve lost the heart for living.”
Norman Vincent Peale got a piece of paper, drew a vertical line in the middle, and said, “This is your life. Let’s write down a list of the things you’ve lost on the left side, and the things that you still have on the right side.”
The man shook his head, “You won’t need the right side. I have nothing left in my life.”
Norman Vincent Peale said, “When did your wife leave you?”
The man was shocked. “My wife didn’t leave me! She’s right here with me. My wife loves me!”
Norman said, “That’s fantastic! Let’s write that down as number one on the right side of the paper: ‘Wife with me’. Now tell me, “When did your kids go to prison…”
“Prison?” the man asked in “My kids are right here at home!”
“Fantastic! Let’s write it down here as number two: ‘Kids not in jail.’”
Norman continued asking similar questions, and the man got the point, and began to smile. He said, “I guess my life isn’t so bad after all!”
Perception Is Everything
Your perception of reality is your reality.
Your life has always two sides—a left side and a right side—the bad stuff happening and the good stuff happening.
A lot of people spend the whole day looking at the left side—the side where they list everything that’s wrong with their life. 24 hours a day, they think about it, meditate on it, analyze it, mull over it. That’s why they’re miserable.
Friend, make a decision to spend the whole day looking at the right side of your life.
I know. This is very difficult.
Especially when you fail.
There was a man who failed big time in the Bible…
