IM WITH YOU IN TIMES OF TROUBLE

These past few days my spirit is low. I’m in emotional turmoil. I’m in a battle. There are some issues in life that the enemy kept on injecting me, putting on negative thoughts and giving me bad feelings toward others, that if I’m not be careful and watchful will ruined down some time tested friendship and will pulled me apart from those people, that I might regret someday.

I tried to kept silent believing that it will pass. That one day I will just woke up that as if nothing happened. I’m afraid to confront that person because I might say words that instead of patching things up, it goes the other way around. Before I used to speak out what is bothering me without thinking first the consequences of my action, but I learned already my lessons the hard way. So better for me to kept silent than to hurt others.

God knows my pain, He knows my struggle and He is comforting me. Yes I’m hurting but His words give me encouragement. His words are my strength. It’s my assurance that though everyone even those people I love will turned their back to me there is still ONE who will never leave me nor forsake me. He will be forever with me. He is faithful.

Friends come and go. We can never forced them to stay. We may give everything to them, our time, our effort, everything that we have, still they will leave us as long as they want. They will find someone better than us. What is important is that we leave them memories, a legacy that will last a lifetime.

As God said in His word “ Trust me in your times of trouble and I will rescue you”. Psalm 50:15. He will be my mighty warrior who will depend me against all attack of enemies. He will rescue me and make sure that I will finish the battle triumphantly.

MY AUNT IS CELEBRATING HER BIRTHDAY TODAY

In this world where true people are hard to find, it’s a good thing that God created us a family that will be there for us no matter what will happen, a family that will support us in every challenges, every triumphs, every defeat and every victory we have. Who will cheer and cry with us. But family does not only consist of our father, mother, sisters and brothers but also of grandparents, cousins, uncles and especially aunts. They are those people that will be there for us when others turned their back on us. Not all, have the chance or the opportunity to have a complete set of family and I’m glad that I’m one of those blessed.

Today is my AUNTIE BABY’s birthday. We may be on different side of the world now but through this blog I want her to know how much blessed and thankful I am to have her in my life, she’s my second mother, my friend, my confidante.

Now that she’s celebrating another year of God’s goodness and faithfulness in her life there is only one thing that I want her to know..that….. she is dearly and forever be loved.

Tita, on your birthday today I prayed that your light continue to shine and sparkle wherever you go. May you continue to touched somebody’s life with your positive outlook in life. May your sunny smile lights upon every places, every gathering and every occasions that you’re in. You’re truly a special treasure. May the love you have shown to us and to others return to you, multiplied. I wish you the happiest of birthdays and many, many more, so that others have time to appreciate you as much as I do. We love you and you deserve nothing but the best. Have a blessed and fruitful birthday. God bless.

God knew the need for someone. To add humor to our hearts. Someone who would spice. Our lives with laughter and mischief. Someone we could run to. For special comfort and friendship; Someone whose life would. Touch ours in a hundred different ways...So He made Aunts...

MOM'S DAY

When we said Mother’s day the first thing that will come out in our mind was the figure of this fragile woman whom because of her love for us risked her life just to bring us out here in the world. We showered  her with  gifts like flowers, perfume, card etc , may it be a simple or extra expensive one, just to show how much we care and appreciate her.

Mother’s day is not all about that. Our mother deserves much more than that . She deserves more than any material things here on earth. She deserves our love and affection. Our mother is the backbone of our family. She is the one who’s carry the greatest burden in life and much more in tune to what real life is all about. She thinks about her children day and night, she is the first to give praise to us and cheers with us in times of our achievements and triumphs and the one who comfort us when we are down and broken. She’s one who sense danger before it happens. She’s the one who carried us in her womb for 9 months and faced all the difficulties it brings. She risked her life for us. And until now she carries that burden in her heart.

Mother’s day comes and goes but the memories linger and remain. How many years we have been celebrating this occasion with all the glitz and glamour but after that we have taken her  again for granted. Don’t waste any opportunity to express your love to your mother before it’s too late. Don’t wait for another Mother’s day to say thank you for everything that she had done for you. We only have one mother and we cannot replace her anymore and for anything else.

Here’s my prayer for my mother and to all mothers who have also been a mother to me, that in their simple yet special ways touched my life, to all my friends who are mothers now..CARRY ON you have the greatest profession every girl dreamed of, and to those who have not been given the opportunity to carry their own child but had been one to those who are in need of a mother I really SALUTE you, you have shown an example of what a true mother should be. For being a mother does not depend on how many children you have been born but on how many children you have raised in your heart.

Heavenly Father thank you for this special gift of mother and for the unconditional love that she share with us, her children. Lord today I  pray that You will protect and guide every mother  where ever they are right now. May you grant them Your wisdom in loving and teaching their children. May we always remember the warm caresses, the whispers and lullabies at night. The tears dried, band aids, all the hugs, laughter and kisses. Thank you for our mothers who played with us, taught us, nurtured us, listen to us, tried to understand us and never stop praying for us. Today, Lord may we remember our mother’s beauty when we are young and her loveliness as we get aged. We also prayed for those mothers who have been separated from their children because of distance, death or any other reasons, may they find peace, pleasure and comfort with You. As we honored, commemorate or simply reflect today the life of a woman who raised us, we thank you Lord for the life and for MOM…..

God bless our moms…..

TOMORROW WILL BE A BETTER DAY

I feel worst today….My ever dearest best friend visits me again and leave me with RED SIGNAL sign WARNING: SICK AGAIN!. With this changing weather , my body is prone with colds and flu, drinking a lot of fluid doesn’t work anymore, what I need now is rest.

During this time that’s when I missed home so much. I miss the comfort it brings me. I miss the way my mother takes care of me. But it doesn’t mean that since am far away from home means am all alone, No because God put some significant people in our life to fill in the space being away from home created. Those people whom we considered family. Who will be there for us not only during the times of joy and happiness but most importantly those times where we are down and walking through the crossroads of life.

God is so good to gives us companions not just the good ones but those who are fearfully and wonderfully made of Him. He gave us those people as His reflection and extension of His love to us. We are blessed and truly will be forever blessed for bringing them into our lives.

We always thank God for all of you, mentioning you in our prayers. (1 Thessalonians 1:2). I may not be able to repay all the kindness you have shown me. But am able to pray for you. I may not be always good to you because I have also my share of flaws and weaknesses but I am always keen in praying for you. You are always included in my prayers and forever be thankful to God for allowing me to share my life to all of you.

Knowing that my short journey here on earth will be more enjoyable and fruitful because I have those significant people that keeps me going and walks with me side by side no matter how smooth or how bumpy the road is.

Gracious Father, you have blessed me in so many ways! Today,
however, I'm especially aware of the many incredible ways you have
blessed me through other people. I want to thank you now for the
following wonderful people you have placed in my life ...
Please guard and strengthen them and use them to bless others as they have blessed me.

In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
