my brother`s Choice

i was in Cebu together with my brother, sister and her daughter Jessica to visit our mother last May 14 2010. For almost 32 years we have not met out mother and this was a historical event in our lives. We arrived early and since we do not have anything to do i decided to bring them for a tour around Cebu city. of course we went to the famous cite, the Magellan cross where Christianity first came to the Philippines. and after that we visited the famous Sto. Nino Church, where pilgrimes come to visit and pray. after going around the church, we entered a souvenier shop where they are selling religous items. My brother who was thinking of a give for manong Ed decided to make a choice for crucifixes. As i was making a choice myself, he told me that the best gift for manong Ed will be a resurrection cross since it will be a meaningful symbol, especially after winning the election as sanguniang bayan in our town Guimbal, Iloilo. i was speechless, i never know my brother a good theology, simple but deep. i was happy to learn about this.
