Give thanks for this very special day

'Quamplurimi et quam aptissimi" (As many as possible of the very best)

Today we celebrate the feast of Sto Nino;  in Cebu there is grand celebration of Sinulog.  And this song was sung in our church this morning at the mass for Sto Nino.

Truly we should be thankful for the life he has given us and reflecting on Steve Jobs graduation speech at Stanford U. live as if it were the last day our life.  We should spend wisely our time and talents to be a gift in this world to leave a legacy because life is short.

We can only be happy if we are grateful for the things we have and have received from the Lord (not from what we do not have and still wishing from him)  When we ask for happiness, God gives us challenges, when we ask for wisdom, he gives problem to solve.  When we ask for wealth, he gives us poverty to overcome.  We can only be happy for the life he gives us and the aches and difficulties he gives us.

We thank that the class has ended and most have submitted their final papers.  We should be thankful for the great things we discussed and synthesized in the classroom.

Above all, we thank the Lord for making us meet together as Lecturer and students in Leadership

DEO GRATIAS.  Thanks to the Lord

God is in us. (En theos, enthusiasm) And we spread the word, we spread hope, and Leadership and our influence and good deeds in the days to come
