Providentially we completed the 9th simbang gabi mass and welcome Christmas day gladly, the birth of Jesus Christ. (Luke 2:14 “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men”).

My wife and I were truly filled with the pleasure we’ve experienced on Christmas day – eating/drinking simple & fresh delicious meals/fruit shakes (Mga Pagkain sa Linang ni Maryann), bonding time spent intimately together while watching movies, playing board games, nature watch in prayers, and picture taking. This Christmas is a “day of grace” for us. Thank You dear God. (Psalm 107:1 “Oh give thanks unto the Lord, for He is good; for His mercy endureth forever”).
From morning till early afternoon, there was not a single human that appeared in the farm gate for social doings because of the heavy rain & occasional gustiness. I had the opportunity to watch and feel geannhomegarden’s nature in silence during that period. And I have to admit on instance while I watch nature I felt that God is with me.
Around 9:00 o’clock this morning my caring wife and I wake up sluggishly. DOST announce that typhoon Nina has made its 3rd landfall in Quezon, at 2:00am this morning 26 Dec. 2016, and moving away towards Batangas. The rain has stopped, and only the huge nimbus clouds remains in the sky. I quickly change to working clothes for a short stroll in the farm. As I walk around, I saw the effects of typhoon Nina’s intense rain and gustiness.
Once more, I felt stepping back into the real world after having a brilliant “day of grace”. But deep in me I will always take into the real world God’s grace of Christmas. (Luke 2:17 “And when they had seen it they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child”).
