Mabuhay Ka Kapatid!!

The coming week will be our xmas party kaya super balutan na ng gifts sa bahay. Wala na akong halos magawa kasi naubos ko na last weekend. Dahil sa sobra lamig, di ko na gusto lumabas kasi naninigas ang buto ko sa lamig (di yun ha!). Di na nga maayos ang tulog ko sa gabi dahil parang sumusuot sa mga kasu kasuan ko ang lamig, asus! saudi pa lang ito di lalo na siguro kung nasa europa ako, baka ikamatay ko talaga, lol!...

As I promised, ito na ang kwentong misyonero inilaan ko kay Tintin. Dapat mabasa mo ito para matawa ka at di ka na magtanong about papaya. Baka pagnalaman ang dulot ng papaya sa seminarista, pari at madre di ka na kumain nito, lol! (peace!)

Mga kaibigan kong pari, madre at seminarista, kasama nyo po ako sa pagsugpo ng masamang elemento (sugpuin nyo na po ako), ahahahaha! Sa mga readers, isa lang po itong maikling kwento na makakadulot ng panandaliang kasiyahan kaya wag nyo pong bigyan ng kulay ang anumang nakasaad sa kwento.

Dala ng sobrang lamig at pangugulila sa buhay pamilya pinas, naisip ko na lang na i-post ang story na ito:

We Serve the Lord by tha Way We Live.

"One day, a priest and a bus driver died and they arrived at the gate of heaven at the same day. The bus driver went first to St Peter for him to check whether he is going to heaven or to hell. So, St Peter checked his name in the book of life. And St Peter told the bus driver happily that he is going to heaven. The driver was very happy, then the angels welcomed him in heaven. Then, the priest’s turn came to check with St Peter. St Peter looked for the priest’s name immediately in the book of life and upon reading what is written there, he was very sad to tell the priest that he is going to hell. The priest was shocked and demanded an explanation. He told St Peter that he knew that bus driver who came before him. He said to St Peter, “that bus driver was a reckless driver. He did not respect his passengers and had put their lives in danger. How come he is heaven and I am going to hell?” Then, St Peter told the priest, “ you know my son, that driver was in heaven because he has helped many people to be close to God while you, did not”. The priest was confused how did it happen, so St Peter continued, “this is what happened. When that bus driver drives, all the passengers pray to God, but when you preach in the church, all your parishioners sleep!”

Kaya sa mga cyber friend na missionaries (wag kaming patulugin during sermon), salamat sa inyong time at pag share ng joys & vocation experiences sa mga readers at kaibigan. You put smile & inspiration on our faces each day. Keep reaching the youth in every way possible. Keep them closer to Christ! Wag gayahin ang ang old fashioned (?) na priest sa storya, use every medium possible to reach the youth of today (either wordpress or blogspot etc. etc)(compaign ata ito ha?!).
