When I wake up each morning, it automatically comes to me to get ready to go to the hospital. When I get there, it becomes a blaze of patients, papers, classmates, nurses, staff and hospital concerns. When everything is in 911 mode it's very easy to take for granted periods of thanksgiving and some time to honor little and huge sacrifices.
This season, I am reminded that He has offered the ultimate sacrifice - His life that we may have hope and a reason to really live. Salamat sa reminder (of His sacrifice) from the skinny trisikad driver peddling his way to make a living, to the patient who succumbed to a hemorrhage caused by a blunt trauma to an internal organ, to the nurse who made kamusta first before demanding work to be carried out, to the batchmate who shared a laugh or two despite many paperworks, to the resident who listened even if he was tired from duty, to my boyfriend who shared a good meal despite the inconvenience of time and budget and to a good friend who made an inspiring and apt video for this particular season.
Little sacrifices are more than just reminders - they are snippets of hope.
