just passing through: Radio City Christmas Spectacular

Radio City Christmas Spectacular

Bobby and I were still in the Philippines when my sister bought the tickets to Christmas Spectacular at Radio City Music Hall in New York City. She just wanted to avail of cheap tickets a month before the scheduled run. The musical holiday stage show was highly recommended by my aunt who has seen it for a few years in a row.

The 90-minute presentation features the famous Rockettes in their precision dances in various colorful costumes. I liked the 3D film of Santa flying to New York City from the North Pole in his sleigh. This portion which we viewed with our special eyeglasses showed the landmarks of NY until Santa finally got to the Radio City Music Hall.

Sail On

"Life here on earth is a temporary assignment." - Rick Warren

They say that we are just like passing ships. Wherever we go and drop anchor, we learn something that makes our lives never the same again.

Life may have brought us disappointments, failures, discouragements, broken hearts and other negative thoughts and emotions but life goes on.

Along the way, we meet people who touch our lives one way or the other. Some become true friends. Most of them just acquaintances.

We are here in this world temporarily. We are not yet home.

Whatever happens, the Lord will never leave us nor forsake us. He always knows what's best for us.

Everything happens for a reason.
