Last weekend we celebrated the 33rd anniversary of CFC FFL! It was held in Ynares Center in Antipolo, and it was jam-packed with people. We didn’t get to go until about 10am, and when we got there all the entrance stickets were already sold out. We had to get stamps instead. More than 7,000 already sold out even before 10am and the lines were still long. We need a bigger venue next year.
We had a foodfest, Mass with Bishop Gabriel Reyes of Antipolo, dad’s anniversary message, a program over 33 years of CFC. Sabine even got to join the program at the end during the prasiefest to recite the Angel of God prayer. Proud daddy moment ha ha.
Our family also was part of the offertory during Mass. What an effort with four kids who were just running around and playing right before Mass. They were angsty and magulo. But during the walk itself, they behaved. Effort kung effort. It was a blessing for us. To remind ourselves that we are a family because of God’s grace, and we should always offer our family back to God.
Never take family for granted, and always put God at the centre of it. So many families are suffering and breaking up because they forget to do that.
