On Joy and Sorrow
Kahlil Gibran
Your joy is your sorrow unmasked.
And the selfsame well from which your laughter rises was oftentimes filled with your tears.
And how else can it be?
The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain.
Is not the cup that holds your wine the very cup that was burned in the potter's oven?
And is not the lute that soothes your spirit, the very wood that was hollowed with knives?
When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy.
When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.
Some of you say, "Joy is greater thar sorrow," and others say, "Nay, sorrow is the greater."
But I say unto you, they are inseparable.
Together they come, and when one sits, alone with you at your board, remember that the other is asleep upon your bed.
Verily you are suspended like scales between your sorrow and your joy.
Only when you are empty are you at standstill and balanced.
When the treasure-keeper lifts you to weigh his gold and his silver, needs must your joy or your sorrow rise or fall.

Five years from now.....
Five years from now in God's mercy I want to be a good teacher who will teach in a public school in Canada, because I want to expose myself to the other people in the world and to help other people especially the children who wants to to go school. And after that I want to serve the people of God by entering the religious life.
I hope that all of dreams will be granted.....
" Loves Meaning"
When you're in Love, so many feelings enter your
Heart as you move on in life.
Sharing with so many of these feelings, knowing that life can
be so wonderful, brings on the true meaning of Love.
With many dreams being started and ending.
Like walking on a beach, with the waves gently hitting the sand
and the moon shines it's beams across the waters edge.
A couple walking in love.
The Love is so great it could rain or snow and
that Moon will still shine on them forever.
Their Hearts are as one and with every beat
brings happiness and joy into their life's
and Love will forever grow inside
them beyond time itself.
This shared Love sometimes brings on many
happy times and sad times,
that need to be shared and resolved to
return to Loves meaning.
With in time it self the true meaning can get lost
and those dreams are scattered over the
Heavens of love once shared.
This is the time to return to the walks on the
beach and loving memories shared,
to begin a new dream and learn from
ones left behind.

God's Message |
| by Ron Carnell |
| You can hear the message in laughter, It's there in the ocean's soft beat, It's part of the rainbow that's after The rains that fall at our feet. It's an echo in the mountains above us, It's a whisper in the desserts below, It's the touch of the people who love us, And the smell of fresh fallen snow. It's a message that's all around us, A message that God extends: Peace to all our brothers, And love to all our friends. |
Gods Message to the Silence of Our Hearts
In our everyday life, we tend to ask ourselves what is the meaning of all of this? Anong gustong sabihin ni God sa atin? Sa lahat ng nangyayari sa buhay natin, madami tayong lessons na matututunan which will help us grow more and become the person God wants us to be. Kaso in the process of learning, feeling ko dadaan ka sa isang obstacle course na bawat hintuan mo eh may mapupulot ka which will either make you proceed with the game or just have it as GAME OVER (wag naman di ba?) Go lang tayo ng Go.. Hindi naman tayo ilalagay ng Diyos sa isang sitwasyon na sa tingin niya na hindi natin kaya. He knows us more than we know ourselves. Alam niya ang kakayanan at hangganan ng bawat isa sa atin. He believes in each one of us, we must also learn to believe in ourselvess.
Minsan may mga dadaanan tayo na mahirap na pagsubok, meron naman tamang level lang, meron kakaloka at meron ding parang malaki pero kung tutuusin tayo lang pala ang nagpapalaki. Sa mga bagay na yan, andiyan lang ang Diyos sa tabi natin. Tinitingnan kung paano tayo mag rreact o kaya ay paano natin dadalhin ang mga pagsubok na yon. Binigyan niya tayo ng mga kinakailangan natin para malampasan yung mga pagsubok, hindi rin niya tayo iiwan habang nagiging matapang tayong harapin ang lahat ng ito at higit sa lahat andyan lang siya sa tabi ng bawat isa sa atin na gumagabay sa bawat decision na gagawin natin.
Sa katahimikan ng ating mga puso, matuto tayong makinig sa mensahe ng Diyos sa atin. God loves us so much, we just have to remember that.
