Love til You Can

When we are happy about ourselves, and about the things that are
happening around us... when we are happy with the people we are involved with... when we are happy because we generously give and share our love with others without any expectations... when we are happy because we are confident of God's love for us... surely, it will manifest on our everyday deeds, actions, and words.

Life has too many to offer! Never waste time hating someone... Always forward and never backwards...

Remember that "life is too short to wake up with regrets... Love the people who treat your right and let go of those who don't! Believe everything happens for a reason. If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands. If it changes your life, LET IT! Nobody ever said life would be easy, they only promised it would be worth it."

Treasure the people you love and forgive the people who caused you pain and heart aches. Life is all about LOVE anyway! Love while you still CAN! Have a lovely weekend to all!

HOME

My past two-weeks were spent in travels. I was really busy the whole time and all I long for was to get to my bed and sleep. My mind was too pre-occupied with a lot of things... mostly of workloads with deadlines to meet. I was kind of mentally exhausted!

On top of that, emotional stress also hit me because of some personal issues! What made it even worst is that my health and my spiritual life were also impaired! I can only spend too little time in praying and reflecting (though I made sure never fail serving as a lector in our chapel and parish every Sundays, that's TOP priority). I had episodes of asthma attacks (I only experience asthma under emotional distress) and a very bad cough for the past several days!

Yesterday, I decided not to go to work because I felt so wasted and tired. I just wanted to be alone and reflect on the things that happened for the past weeks. I was really touched upon hearing the song 'HOME' by brian mc knight... it refreshed my spirit. I realized that, really, I have forgotten my Faith. I got too self-centered and work-centered that I missed the things that matter most.

When we get too busy with so many things and we get too down and troubled, we long for rest and yes, we still find our WAY BACK HOME...

Thinking back when we first met
I remember what you said
You said you'd never leave me
I let go of your hand
Built my castle in the sand
But now I'm reachin' out again
And I'm not letting go

Till you
Hold me
Mold me
Sometimes I feel so all alone
See, I gotta find my way back home

So why don't you
Shape me
make me
Wash me whiter than the snow
I gotta find my way Back home

Master upon my knees i pray
I just want to be the clay
Put your arms around me
Place my life in your hands
Lord, I know I'm just a man
I know you understand
This time I'm not letting go

Till you
Anoint me
Appoint me
Sometimes I feel so alone
See, I gotta find my way back home

So why don't you
Chastise me
Baptize me
Wash me whiter than the snow
I gotta find my way

'Cause I'm lost and alone
I've been wandering
Long enough to know
Humbly I search for you
And I'm not gonna rest

Till you
Choose me
Use me
Sometimes I feel so alone
I'm on my way back home

So why don't you
Direct me
Bless me
Wash me whiter then the snow
I'm on my way
Back home
