You can make a big difference The Gospel of Jesus Christ (September30, 2015- Wednesday)Luke 13:18-21- It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his garden; and it grew, and waxed a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it. And again he said, whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God? It is like leaven, which a woman took and
hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened: This is referred to the words of God which grows if it is sewed in our hearts. In Matthew13- Jesus taught about the different kinds of soils which mean the different kinds of hearts. Take note, the mustard seed can grow only if it is planted in the pure heart of a person. The effects are great since it
will transform and renew a person to become good. BIBLE means Basic Instruction Before Leaving Earth. God is like the gardener who always cultivates the soil to make the plants productive and can bear more fruits. God expects you to bear more fruits. God wants you to become more productive in life. God wants you to help yourself in cultivating
your heart. Do not permit the weeds of grudges, hatreds, greed and negative emotions to grow in your heart because they have no room in your heart. You heart is the dwelling place of the living God. Satan has no legal right to live and dwell in your heart even in a single second. Guard your heart with the words of God in order that, your life will become useful. God
Biblical reflection can use you only once you will response to his calling for your life to become the bearer of goodness toward others. You can make a big difference to the lives of others once they can see that you are the walking bible on this earth: Printing paid by: Neneth Ranoa - Bobong BalinoEdith Ranoa, PhD- Tony Jordan – Cagayan De Oro: My new number:

Basa Family of Davao Occ. is 2015 Huwarang Pamilya winner Don Marcelino, Davao Occidental--“Our family is a circle of strength, founded on faith, joined by love and kept by God. Sa tanan nga amoang kalisdanan, kahuyangan, kalipay ug sa tanan nga grasya nga amoang nadawat, gina-hangad namo tanan sa Ginoo (All our hardships, weaknesses, happiness and for all the blessings that we have received, we offer everything to God),” shared 35-year old Marebeth Basa of Barangay Linadasan here. The Basas live in a humble oceanfront home. Marebeth’s husband – Gimmy, 42, is a fisherman. To augment the income they earn from fishing, they opened up a small sari-sari store. “Ginabinuangan gani ko sa akoang mga silingan nga lugi daw kaayo ko sa akoang sari-sari store kay P 600+ lang ang akoang gina-kompra gikan Malita kada bula, unya ang pamasahe padulong ug pauli kay P 500 (My neighbors oftentimes tease me that my sari-sari store is losing and unprofitable since I only purchase around P 600-worth of goods per month. The round trip van fare to Malita [neighboring municipality where I get the goods] is P 500),” recalled
Marebeth, daughter Jim Marey and Gimmy in front of their booming store.
Marebeth. Despite their meager income, Marebeth and Gimmy strived to send their children to school – Sylka Mae, now 14; Brian James, now 9; and Jim Marey, now 5 years old. The Basa Family became beneficiaries of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program in 2009. “Dako kaayo nga tabang ang programa ilabi na sa pag-eskwela sa amoang mga anak. Mas na-engganyo sila mo eskwela tungod sa programa (The program has been a huge help especially in my children’s studies. They are more inspired to attend school because of the program),” Gimmy shared. Another unexpected blessing came to the family when they became recipients of the Sustainable
Livelihood Program (SLP) in 2012. Marebeth and Gimmy being accustomed to simple, frugal way of living, promised to smartly invest the money they loaned from SLP. “Aron makatipid sa pamasahe nga P 500 gikan Malita, naga-hitch lang ko sa mga molabay nga truck padulong Don Marcelino. Bahala’g galisod ko sa mga bitbit nga pinalit, basta maka-save ko sa pamasahe kay saying ang kwarta (To save on the P 500 fare from Malita, I hitch a ride with private trucks going home to Don Marcelino. No matter the heavy load of groceries I carry, as long I can save as money is valuable)” admitted Marebeth. See winner, page A11
