When you look back and
wonder how you ever made it through the years,
you'll realize that it's
not because you've been clever
but because God has been wise;
not because you've been strong
but because God has been mighty;
not because you've been consistent
but because God has been faithful.
May God bless you today and forever!

Everything you are and

In a science class, the teacher asked her students
to give an example of things which are countless...
One student answered: "WATER!"
Another one answered: "SAND!"
The other one answered: "AIR!"
The teacher noticed that everybody was
participating except for one.
She called his attention and asked the same question...
"What are the things which are countless?"
The student stoop up and answered: "BLESSINGS!"
Have you tried counting yours lately?

God does not disappoint,
but He surprises us
because He gives us gifts
that are not exactly what we expect
but are greater than our expectations.

One thing we've got to learn
is that no person is better than the other.
Some are blessed with knowledge,
some with beauty,
some with great wealth,
some with strength and
some with a unique gift from God that they have yet to find.
The essence of being
is not your rank or greatness
but being who God made you to be.

When I say I'm a Christian,
I'm not saying I am perfect...
I'm admitting I'm wretched
that's why I need a Savior.
I'm shouting I'm lost
that's why I need a Guide.
I'm claiming I'm weak
that's why I need a God!
"Humble yourself before the LORD,
and HE will lift you up."

What's LIFE?
They say it's from B to D...
from BIRTH to DEATH.
So life starts on the day we are born
and ends the day we die.
But what's between B and D?
It's C!
What's C?
It is CHOICE...
Our life is a matter of choice.
Live it well.
And... It will never go wrong
if we put another C in its center...

One day, the villagers decided to pray for rain.
On the day of prayer,
everyone gathered and only one boy came with an umbrella.
That's CONFIDENCE.
When you throw a 1-year-old baby in the air,
he laughs because he knows you will catch him.
That's TRUST.
Every night we go to bed,
we're not sure that we'll get up tomorrow
but we still have many plans for the coming day.
That's HOPE.
Have
Confidence,
Trust in God
and
NEVER lose HOPE.

God is good.
For beyond the darkness, He gives us light.
Beyond our nightmares, He gives us dreams.
Beyond our tears, He gives us comfort.
So with this day that He has provided,
let us thank Him
even if our plans should fail and
our expectations not reached.
For beyond these things is God's embrace saying:
"My child, the path I have laid for you
is just beyond the corner.
Take my hand and just have faith."

One day, God had a work for me to do.
He showed a rock and told me to push it with all my might.
For many years, I pushed and pushed but nothing happened.
The rock hasn't moved even an inch.
In discouragement, I asked God why I'm failing.
The Lord responded:
"Your task is to push the rock,
never did I mention that you move it.
Now, I, my child, will move the rock."
Obedience to God is easy
if we only know
how to LISTEN.
He doesn't want us to suffer.
He only wants us to LEARN.

"The season of LENT reminds us
that the life we have and

We are but pilgrims here on earth

We bring nothing when we die

you Decide...

big enough to contain the majesty of GOD!

Let Him dwell in it forever!"

What if GOD has an answering machine?
For Thanksgiving, Press 1.
For Confessions, Press 2.
For Comments, Press 3.
For Other Prayers, Press 4.
What if the machine tells you this:
"Sorry, all angels are Busy now.
Please pray again later."
It will be hard right?
So let us thank GOD for
HE personally listens and answers our prayers.
This only shows how great the LOVE of the LORD is.

Last February 14, I got several wonderful and heartwarming valentines day messages from my friends. So I thought of sharing this here in my blog.
This one is from Med...
"Valentine's Day maybe for lovers
but it's also a time when I think of the dear people
who have made life beautiful and meaningful
and so I want to thank you for all of the moments
we have shared, for listening, talking, laughing, inspiring and caring.
You always give me something to look forward to;
and every time I hear from you,
the warmth you lend me helps me get through the day.
Though I don't often tell you how much our friendship means to me,
I hope you know how much I appreciate you.
Happy Valentine!"

And this is from Amee...
"Words to live by:
Just say what you mean
and mean what you say.
Don't expect someone to read your mind
and don't play games with heads or hearts.
Don't tell half truths and
expect trust when the full truth comes out.
Half truths are no better than lies.
Don't be cold to someone you care about.
Indifference hurts more than angry words.
They say actions speak louder than words
but sometimes it's better to have both.
Happy Valentines Day!"
Just say what you mean
and mean what you say.

Here's another one from Med...
"What is LOVE?
Writers and poets explained it by Romeo and Juliet or Florante at Laura.
Picaso and Gothe showed it with paintings, frescos and abstracts.
Lovers expressed it through flowers, poems, letters, gifts and songs.
Yet no one else but Jesus Christ
our Redeemer, Savior and "Lover of our Souls"
truly suffered, gave His life, then triumph over death
to prove what LOVE is and what LOVING truly means.
May TRUE LOVE reigns in our lives always and forever."

No one in this world
can dictate to you
where you can be happy.
If you know where and what it is,
go for it!
Remember:
HAPPINESS is NOT a DESTINY...
It's a CHOICE.
"Treat everyone with LOVE,
even those who are rude to you...
Not because they are not nice,
but because YOU are nice."
"The pressures in life may seem to crush us,
but like a crushed grape
that produces a better wine,
they only bring out the best in us."
>> Psalm 66: 9-12 <<

>> Psalm 66: 9-12 <<
O Holy Spirit, at the beginning of this day,
take away all burdens from my heart
that I may start this day with joy,
for You to be the anchor of my day.
Pour out Your gift of wisdom that I may
think, feel and decide always in Your light,
following Your will for my life.
Strengthen me in the moments of frailty.
Be the master of my whole being
today and always in all ways.
In Jesus mighty name, Amen.
