A Jar of Moments...



IFG's Sabbath ...




Sabbath? Hmmm...Really? Where?

Yes, finally, after having talked about it in our monthly meetings, the IFG family had its two-day Sabbath in Olongapo. The group, headed by no other than our President, Sir Mike Lapid, together with the IFG family left for Olongapo last Sunday morning at 6:30 AM.

Hmmmm...it was a great journey and an opportunity for us to commune with nature as well as with each other. What a privilege for all of us to stop, to back off and retreat from our everyday concerns; our responsibilities, our functions, our families, just to be with each other to share our reflections, pray, eat, swim, and have fun.

I was delighted and overwhelmed with the place, the accommodation, the food, and the moments I had with the group. It was a chance for me to deepen my relationship with them in a personal level. I love the free expression of who I am and what I am in a different way, where there are no hang ups,and no inhibitions...the feeling of just being myself at the very moment, so free, so true to what I want to do and just to be ME.

I will never forget the Sabbath we had because of the fun I had with my colleagues. I have really enjoyed their company. The bonding moments I had with them will forever be treasured. These memories I had with them are placed in a jar which I call... "A Jar of Moments"

It was indeed a great day for the IFG family!
