It is the feast day of Jesus the Good Shepherd here. I am living for quite sometime but I did not know that. My village now has been more active and has more camaraderie than it used too. So now that it's the feast day, people shared more. This morning, they announced in our group chat that one resident is giving away free porridge (lugaw/congee). Hah! He is my neighbor, like 3 houses away from me. He is a very good but loud neighbor. But during pandemic, he also do this once a month. I also learn that later in the afternoon, there will be a small show with free food from everyone. I will look what I can share to give later

Do you have hungry people in the village or is giving food just a neighborly gesture?

No celebrations here today, it's a normal Sunday and most people are away because tomorrow is a holiday. It is a nice habit to share food with the neighbors.

@rakski - We have organized events where the neighbors join, usually it's chestnuts roasted on an open fire, or risotto cooked in a big pan. People see how it is made, very safe to eat that food.

Awesome neighborhood, Hurray to all of you. Keep doing God's work and your blessing will be multiplied. Still, if you don't believe in the existence of a Supernatural Being, then I say that Karma is real, The Law of Nature never fails to extract what you have given out, like a computer: "Garbage out, garbage in."
