Childlike faith focuses on our Heavenly Father – not on our fears.
Viva! Pit Señor, Santo Niño!
Wrote this on my wall today at Facebook. The Sto. Nino fiesta is a feast celebrated in the Philippines every third Sunday of January.
As I’ve said in my previous post, yesterday was a family day for us. We went to Tondo to celebrate fiesta with them early. It was a day full of laughter and sharing. Nate surely knows how to entertain. He brought out some of his toys. Josef and I enjoyed playing with him and his go-kart and his set of beyblades. It really feels good to act and play with a child once again. Sometimes, we need these light moments, allowing ourselves to be young once more, enjoying the same activities of a little boy and laughing our hearts out in enjoyment. We only see each other once a month so every time we do, we make use of the time just being happy.
Nissa prepared pork sinigang sa bayabas. (soup made with pork and flavored with fresh guavas). Yes, we also use fresh guavas for our sinigang. Mixed with gabi (taro root) and water spinach, it was a yummy dish. Her mother-in-law cooked embutido and prepared fruit salad and leche flan for dessert. We brought along bibingka (rice cake).
It is really such a joy to spend another Saturday with the family.
Hope you have a great time Arlene.
How does a rice cake taste?

Elizabeth, Sto. Nino is the baby Jesus. It is a special privilege given to the Catholic church in the Philippines to celebrate His Feast.
