This year's Year-End Thanksgiving inside the Iglesia Ni Cristo resonates again with so much love and humility. It depicts why a member of the church of Christ gets to be grateful not only on this special day, but a collective reminiscent of the year that is about to pass.
It's that same re-occurring feeling whenever the holy spirit is so close, which makes you humbled by its presence, makes you actually cry with joy because of His compassion.
It makes you realize that the year is to close its chapters again to open for new ones - that leaves you rushing back to the remembrance on what you've been through this year - may it be pain and or happiness.
And it's at this point, while the singing of hymns were rendered that you realized, how you were able to continue on, as if the trials and tests of this life is insurmountable, but then, grace came … and you were able to survive.
As you are reading this, it wasn't only you, who went through the storms of life, or maybe going through it, but even I, a chosen one, was not spared. We had our share of sadness, our share of happiness and our share of first hand experiences of how mighty He is, how compassionate He is, above all, how He profess his endless love to everyone.
Indeed! It's a great way to end the year, through Thanksgiving - not only this time though but all throughout our lives.
Happy Thanksgiving Brethren..
