Christmas Is For Us [We Are The Reason]

December 25, 2009

Dearest Loved Ones, Brethren & Friends,

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

It’s such a wonderful day to rejoice and remember – the day of great significance in all of our spiritual state of being. Yes, we have good reasons to be grateful - for 2009 years ago God stepped down from heaven, put on the robe of humanity, to be among His creation to see how it is to be like us. He came out of the abundance of His love, to take us out of the dark dungeon of sin and the clutches of fear to bring us into the light of His presence, in order to relate with us and reconcile us with Him, and take us back to be with Him in the everlasting life.

For our family, it’s very special season to count our blessings. God poured upon us great favors in His grace. Sustaining us in the worst season that we went through this year – yes, worst - in this land of abundance and overflows God has positioned us in Florida, USA. It made us aware that there is no exception for any one. Material provisions are not guarantees. Bad seasons can happen even in the land of plenty. Trials can confront us even in our faith. Praises to our Lord Jesus, He fulfills His promises. He is always with us. He rescues us. He uses bad situations for our good – to strengthen us. For all that – we are grateful. His name – Jesus is high and lifted up.

Starting new endeavors and projects at this late period of our life is very challenging. Considering, the worst economic condition we have just gone through. Most of all the family is maturing with Hannah and Sarah now shaping their lives ahead and our spiritual activities in doldrums – 2009 came out as one of the worst season our life faced. But, in the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ we pulled the year through to make it a great Christmas of reflections and thanksgiving for our Lord’s faithfulness.

Business-wise Felix’s company – FRS Management, Inc., along with the FRS Group, made significant stride for growth amidst the economic depression. Trusting God as our only source – he is expectant for the business to prosper ahead.

Mae is now going into her 4th anniversary in her new, God given profession, foraying with great courage in the medical field as a nurse. We praise God for new heights she’s climbed in such short period of time in her work as Charge Nurse at Citrus Memorial Hospital. It is a major feat under God’s guiding hands, considering the entirely different careers in other seasons she has gone through, firstly - as a shipping executive during her early corporate years in Cebu, Philippines, and as educator during our memorable adventure in Saudi Arabia.

Hannah, equipped with her BS Economics degree from the University of Florida, is now developing her career in corporate America working as an account executive with Blue Horizons - one of the largest Insurance Company based in Seattle, Washington. She is now pursuing her Masters degree at the University of Washington.

Sarah is now a young lady in her Senior High at Ocala Christian Academy. She’s enjoying her role as manager of the school’s volleyball team. She is very active as vocalist with her FUSE Band, a youth group at our Church..

It is with profound and deep gratitude that we offer thanksgiving to our Father in heaven, as we send you this greetings of Peace and Joy, to celebrate the reason for the birth of our Lord Jesus – We. Christmas is for Us. We are the reason. His love for us is the reason. We have indeed a cause to be glad and rejoice as we welcome this season, the anniversary of our Lord’s birth when He brought us the gift of Salvation through His Grace and Mercy. Glorify and honor our King – the King of Kings… Yes. That is Christmas!

WE LOVE YOU ALL.

AGAIN, OUR PRAYER FOR A BLESSED CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL!!!

In the mighty name of our Lord Jesus,
Fel and Mae, with Hannah & Sarah
