A Year of Light !


Lamp upon Our Feet turns 1!

It's been a year since I created Lamp upon Our Feet. Since that simple night of October 4, 2008, this blog has been a true lamp to its readers, notwithstanding the relatively small number of readers. It really warms my heart to know that my reflections have reached other hearts and have had a nourishing effect to other souls. As I always said, it does not matter how few my readers were. What matters to me is that my writings have helped others.

If I may, I would like to quote a comment from one of the first followers of my blog. He said:

"Hi. Please continue your noble mission. I'm a renewed Catholic. your writings help me a lot in my quest to be a Good follower of Christ..

God Bless You!"


This comment continues to be my inspiration. This had a great effect on me. It did not merely flatter me. It did not try to praise my writing skills. It was a personal narration of how I touched a person's life. It affirmed my mission.

Because of comments like that, I knew that the light I bear- the Word of God- was illuminating others. I knew that I was not just carrying the light for no reason. I had a purpose. For that specific comment I quoted, I thank Kuya Randolf.

Recently, I haven't been able to keep the lamp burning. Circumstances have not allowed me to post reflections for almost two months now. Nevertheless, I will continue my mission as soon as circumstances change. I hope it will be soon.

As for now, I rejoice that Lamp upon Our Feet is turning 1 year old. I am planning some activities for the whole month, and I pray that 100% Katolikong Pinoy will help me. I am planning to declare a "Fiesta de la Palabra de Dios" or Feast of the Word of God. Well, we will see what happens in the days to come.

Come everyone. Join me in this endeavor!

Let the Word of God be a lamp upon our feet!

Yours in Christ,
Dale
