HAPPY 1ST YEAR IN HEAVEN

Dearest Dy,

It's been a year since you peacefully departed the earth and entered a place that can only be described as paradise. To be in the presence of God and surrounded by legions of angels are overwhelming.  I'm sure you were captivated by the melodies of heavenly worship.  I cant help but to imagine you dancing and singing your hearts out.  With all your dance moves I'm sure there's always a party there.  The rewards of your obedient heart must be so fulfilling.  Oh how we long to experience the same with you one day.

Life without you is harder yet we are coping. We miss you everyday, your laughter,  your comical acts, even your temperament. It is true that   you will truly miss the person when he is gone.

We really tried our  very  best to be home this time to celebrate your 1st anniversary 
in heaven. We all fly back home just for you,  that's how we love and cherish you. 

Kate and Kale are growing so fast, ohh they miss you so much,   they are both schooling.   And both are  doing well. I'm sure they will grow up as fine and beautiful young man and woman someday.   Of course there are times we wish you were here to witness every significant events in our family.  We wish you were still here, standing beside us and being proud and grateful  in every achievements we have and  yet in time of troubles and worries you will still be there to embrace us and assuring us that God  got this and everything will be fine. 

Ma misses you a lot - you know that for sure.  I can still see the hurt and longing in her eyes yet I also see her love and appreciation for you as she laugh, cries and share stories.  She is taking it one day at a time and I'm proud how stronger she become. God definitely has an amazing chapter for her life  and I know you will be even prouder of her. 

Lots of people still misses you and they are grateful for your life, leadership and example.  Their stories and memories of you makes us proud to be your children and we hope we continue your legacy.   

I know someday , rather one day we will be all together again but for now just enjoy your moments with the Lord and please make it sure that our mansion  is always clean and shiny,  just like your smile. 

We love you  and nothing will ever changed that. 

Love,

Beauty

YOU ARE MORE THAN ENOUGH

Have you ever thought little of yourself?  Have someone told you that you are not enough? Or you have been cut deeply because of the words spoken to you. Words spoken out of emotions, because of anger,  or just a simple recklessness that totally disregards your feeling? 

We all fall on this trap. I do too, so many times. It alters  my confidence, my ability to see my worth and my value as a person.  It weakens my spirit and bring me to a realization that I’m  not enough and will never be enough no matter how hard I tried.

And as times goes by those thousands  hurtful words spoken to you, will penetrate, linger and filtered in your minds  and eventually bring in to the surface and will affect the way you view yourself. We tend see ourselves essentially on how others see us.

But don't allow yourself to be put down because of those words.  Christ suffering on the cross does not only saved us from the penalty of sin which is death but He also redeemed us and washed us with His blood to be righteous and perfect  in Father’s eye through Christ. 

Hurt people does not need to hurt other people but instead we should be of help.     

God poured out His grace toward us and because of that we should also extend that overflowing grace to everyone around us. 

Do not let our hurtful experiences affects the way we deal with  others.  Resist from using words that will hurt and bring scars to others.  Ask our Heavenly Father to heal, free and pull us up from the deadly pit. It’s time to stand and wipe out those dust and move on.  Remember, don't just cut down the tree but dig up the roots. 

You are unique, beautiful, priceless.  You are bought with a price.  You were made and created perfectly in the image and likeness of God.  You are His heir. His beloved.

Someone else’s inability to see my worth does not lessen the value that my Creator has given me. He worked so hard on me, so hard on you. We are His masterpieces. You are not less of value but  YOU ARE MORE THAN ENOUGH.
