My gift and my resolution to Jesus is to devote more time to go to church to pay homeage. I will manage my time so that I know when to give myself to absorb the gospel. I will continue to be faithful and spread the word of God to my loved ones so that they can get inspiration from it too. I still have my daily bible diary to keep me overwhelmed and reminded of God’s love. I will stop delaying my daily prayers and will keep track to fulfill my daily spiritual duties to prevent skipping essential spiritual activity. These resolutions are my gift to Jesus which will definitely strengthen my faith to Him.—Gab Peñera ****** sa albay ako nagsabat kan bagong taon kaibahan an sakong mga pinsan na minsan ko naman lang nakakaibahan.

Haros habo ko na mag-uli para lang tabangan sinda. Ako kaya itong tawong madaling mahirak sa mga taong nasa laylayan. Handang magtabang sainda. Siguro an maireregalo ko ngunyan na taon ki Jesus iyo an ang magtabang sa kapwa tawo na kaipuhan nin tabang. Magpatawad saka mangadyi para magpasalamat sa arauldaw na biyaya na tinatao kan Kagurangan.— Angienel Gojit ****** sa bagong Taon na 2019 an pagigin matinabang sa kapwa tawo urog na sa mga nangangaipo iyo an sakuyang regalo ki Jesus. Nagtutubod asin nagsusunod ako sa sinasabi na kun ano man an ginigibo ta sa satuyang kapwa, iyo man yan an ginigibo ta sa Kagurangnan. Kun nagtatabang kita, mas dakul pa an grasya na mabalik sa satuya.— Doc Jess Albeus ****** this 2019 and in the years to come, I want to give a gift to God that I’ve also received from Him—time. I believe that when you give time to someone or something, that’s love. So I will give my time to God and dedicate to Him everything that I do. Having the time to pray, serving others especially those who are least, lost, and last, being a good steward of this world, loving others, having a humble heart, and imitating His ways are some of the things that I will
do for Him. As we put forth the time and effort it takes to serve others, we are really putting that time and effort into serving our Lord. As the saying goes, “Whatever you do to the least of my brethren, you do it unto me.” Have a wonderful and prosperous new year!—Sheng Baldon ****** mga nagkapira man an naiisip ko na pwede kong itao bilang regalo ngunyan na taon ki Jesus. Inot, iyo an pagkamuot, kun sain bako saná para ki Jesus pwede itao, kundi pwede man sa pamilya, mga katuod, asin sa mga tawong kulang sa pagkamuot. An ikaduwa iyo ang pagserbisyo o pagtao nin ano pa man na mayong hinahagad na ano pa man na karibay. “It is in giving that we recieve.” Asin an ikatulo kong naiisip na regalo ki Jesus iyo an pagpapatawad sa mga tawong nakakulog kan buot ko dahil gusto ko ngunyan na 2019 mayo nang gabat sa buot na dinadara sa puso ko. “Loving one another is the best gift we can give to Jesus”.—Ann Castro ****** in the year of the Youth, my gifts are service and love for Jesus. I will fulfill my duty this year in serving the Lord as an altar server and as a youth to our beloved parish. I will not only serve the Lord but also serve others so that I can fulfill God’s given mission. I will also love Jesus with all my heart, body, mind, and soul. Jesus deserves all the love from every soul. I have nothing much to offer but I can offer service and love for Jesus.—Micah Espiritu 4 christian guaves, pwb
