We were planning to have a mass in Christmas eve, but right before lunch, my sister called me that mom felt unwell and sick. I was quite shocked and worried on her. And after seeing a doctor, she was better and nothing to be worried of.
Hence, we had Christmas mass on 25 in the morning and spent the rest of the day with family in the mall. I felt that I am happy to spend the Christmas with my family, but somehow I didn't feel it happened to everyone. I sensed something was happening and not all of us felt in a Christmas mood. I felt awry and didn't know what to do.
The day after Christmas, my parents, siblings and their couples had another family time and asked us to go with them. However, I felt that it was not a good time to go, and we decided to stay at home. Although in the evening we watched movies, I still felt unfriendly situation with my wife.
9:30 PM, went to bed after an awkward day. And as usual, we prayed together before sleep. After closing off the prayer, suddenly my wife cried. And so she told me on everything she had been feeling recently. She thought that she had so many problems in her head, many things had happened and she thought that she could not handle them anymore, she was overwhelmed.
Apparently, she had troubles to sleep for weeks because of the problems in mind. She cried all the time and felt that things didn't seem go on her way. Long story short, she was worried and afraid if these bad situations would effect our marriage.
And then we had a deep, intense, and intimate talking. We solved the problem. We decided to move on and trust each other even more. And so she slept soundly.
I took my time to look back and diggest all these things that just went through to our life as husband and wife. Yes, we had fun, but a lot things happened not in our way. And so I felt that God is working on us right now. We were led and guided for a much better way. Although we didn't understand it yet, but I believe we are in a right track. We have Him by our side, and we just have to believe that.
Even though, it was tough situation, I closed of this year's Christmas with tons of thankfullness for all the joy, hardship, lessons, and finally smile and relief for we can stand together to face the obstacles. Thank you, Lord. We are blessed.
