Forgiveness: Overcoming the Impossible by Mathew West | Book Review

This book by Matthew West is not just another book on forgiveness. This book encompasses different aspects of forgiveness like, forgiving others, asking for forgiveness, forgiveness one's self, and embracing God's forgiveness. With Matthew West's experience in his musical career, he shares stories of forgiveness and how it impacts the person needing to experience or give it. I like the stories best because they go beyond sharing of principles of forgiveness but to the real and practical part of forgiveness.

Weekend Projects

Weekend are the best part of my week. It is precious because it is the chance to spend time with my wife and my son - it's family time. Sometimes, family time is spent going out but sometimes we do errands and even stay home to do household chores like wash the car, arrange aico bedroom furniture and do some projects.

Our latest project, after setting up Christmas decors was working on the gallery at our stairwell.  It seemed an impossible task because the wall was so high but with some team work, we were able to finish the project.

Christmas Decors for the Best Christmas Ever!

It wasn't too early, and wasn't too late either. Setting up the Christmas tree or creating a Christmas atmosphere here in the Philippines usually comes as early as September and December would be quite late. So last Saturday as my family and I took out the stocked Christmas tree, decors, scissors, the medical grade adhesive and other tools we needed to make it Christmasy at home, we were right on time.

 

Above are some of the Christmas decors we have kept from last year.

 

Setting up Christmas decors was also an opportunity to bond with family - my son helping me out (he enjoys playing with water) and my wife taking photos (all photos are from Jennie's Instagram - follow her @jenaspacio).

 

 

After washing the Christmas tree, we proceeded to set it up in our family room and below is the end result.



 

 

But, a Christmas tree isn't complete without the Christmas lights. It's effect? See below.

 

 

I am looking forward to this year's Christmas as the best ever for our family!
