COFFEE REFLECTIONS: Our Daily Walk With Jesus

photo from lancasterunited.org

The 2 men in the gospel story (Emmaus Walk) did not initially realize that they were walking and talking with Jesus. Somehow they felt it. But it wasn’t until Jesus broke the break and ate with them that they eventually recognized Him.

There are times when we also fail to see Jesus in our day to day lives. Most of the time, we tend to focus on our busy lifestyles, our worries and cares, our desires and ambitions. And when things don’t seem to go our way, we blame it on Jesus for abandoning us. During these moments we put Jesus to the test, challenging Him to reveal Himself by responding to our great demands.

But Jesus is always with us. He never left us even if we sometimes feel that we are alone. He is always walking with us in our life’s journeys. Even carrying us whenever we fall down or feel like giving up. He is always speaking to us through the people we encounter everyday or even through the circumstances in our lives. We do not need great miracles or concrete signs just to prove that Jesus is alive in our lives.

All we need to do is to reach out to Him and let Him lead us to the right path. We need to open our eyes to see the many blessings He continue to give us. And we need to listen with our hearts and our minds to fully understand His wonderful plans and great love for us.

I am so thankful to Jesus, for being my constant “walking buddy” as I personally go thru life and for speaking to me everyday, reminding and assuring me that I am never alone in my journey.

(A reflection based on the Gospel according to Luke 24:13-35)

Keep Christ in Christmas: THE LIGHT OF HOPE

"I’m participating in the KEEP CHRIST in CHRISTMAS Blog Link-Up 2013 sponsored by the Catholic Bloggers Network ." Be sure to visit as many links as possible , listed at the bottom of this post. Reflecting on the 1st candle of Advent, the "light of Hope", I was reminded of a story I read as a child. Most of my contemporaries would probably remember "The Little Match Girl" written by Hans Christian Andersen: It was terribly cold and nearly dark on the last evening of the old year, and the snow was falling fast. In the cold and darkness, a poor little girl with bare head and naked feet, roamed through the streets. It is true she had on a pair of slippers when she left home, but they were not of much use. They were very large, so large, indeed, for they had belonged to her Mother and the poor little girl had lost them in running across the street to avoid two carriages that were rolling at a terrible rate. One of the s

My Friends Tigger and Pooh and a Musical Too! - DVD Review

If your kids love music, then they will surely love this film. What’s more, who can ever resist Winnie the Pooh, Tigger and the rest of their Hundred Acre Woods friends! My 3-year old toddler totally loves Playhouse Disney. Some of his favorites are of course, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Little Einsteins, Handy Manny and My Friends Tigger and Pooh . Unfortunately, when the channel was re-branded into Disney Junior, I was surprised to discover that the show, My Friends Tigger and Pooh, aired its series finale in February 2011, and will no longer be part of the new Disney Junior. It was then that I decided to get my son a DVD copy so that he can continue to enjoy this show even if it’s no longer airing on TV. When I discovered this DVD film, I knew it was perfect for my son because of his love for music. And true enough, it was an instant hit! My Friends Tigger and Pooh and a Musical Too is a 60-minute full-length film based on the Playhouse Disney series, My Fr
