THATS OUR LIFE: HURTS NEVER LEAVE YOU WHERE THEY FIND YOU!

HURTS NEVER LEAVE YOU WHERE THEY FIND YOU!

Excerpt from "TURNING HURTS INTO HALOS & SCARS INTO STARS" by Robery H. Schuller (Thomas Nelson Publishers)

YES,
YOU'RE ON A TRIP CALLED LIFE. Did you choose this tour? "Of course
not!" you answer. That answer is both right & wrong.

- You chose to drive; you didn't choose to have that acident.
- You chose to marry for love; you did not choose to be betrayed.
- Your spouse died. (This trip you're on--grief--you didn't choose it! Or did you?)

Wait
a minute. This hurt you're experiencing is the cost you pay for the
hapiness you chose. Life is a toll road. Everything that's nice has its
price.

"My hearing is going. It's hard to grow old," one man said
to me with a negative overtone. I admonished him (I think gently but
honestly) with this short sermon: "Growing old is the price we pay for
not dying young."

Now you're on an adventure. A pilgrimage. A trip
and a tour through a land where you've never traveled before. Some
decision you made somewhere, sometime, put you on this path, and you
are now surprised at the toll gate. You chose the path, not knowing the
price.

Warning! Don't make the impertinent, unintelligent, and cynical assumption that the price is too high.

The well-known saying "It's better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all" is all too true.

Yes,
the price you have to pay might sem high. But recall all the pleasures,
satisfactions, and benefits, and you'll have a rebirth of positive
possibility thinking. Your heart will move from pain to praise. Pay the
toll and thank God for the trip you've had!

INSPIRATIONAL MESSAGES

Being A Single Parent

A single parent is a parent who cares for children without the assistance of another person in the home. The legal definition of "single parenthood" may vary according to the local laws of different nations or regions.

Single parenthood may occur as the result of many things. Often it is opted for by the parent (as in adoption, artificial insemination, surrogate motherhood, or extramarital pregnancy), and often it is an unforeseeable occurrence (as in the death of one parent, divorce, or abandonment by one parent).

A single mother by choice is a woman who decided to have or adopt a child, knowing she would be her child's sole parent, at least at the outset. Typically, we are career women in our thirties and forties. The ticking of our biological clocks has made us face the fact that we could no longer wait for marriage before starting our families. Some of us went to a doctor for donor insemination or adopted in the United States or abroad. Others accidentally became pregnant and discovered we were thrilled.

Most of us would have preferred to bring a child into the world with two loving parents, but although we have a lifetime to marry or find a partner, nature is not as generous in allotting child-bearing years.

Single motherhood is ideally for the woman who feels she has much to give a child and who has adequate emotional and financial resources to support herself and her child.

Sa aking pagtanda, unawain mo sana ako at pagpasensiyahan.

Kapag dala ng kalabuan ng mata ay nakabasag ako ng pinggan
o nakatapon ng sabaw sa hapag kainan, huwag mo sana akong kagagalitan.
Maramdamin ang isang matanda. Nagse-self-pity ako sa tuwing sinisigawan mo ako.

Kapag mahina na ang tenga ko at hindi ko maintindihan
ang sinasabi mo, huwag mo naman sana akong sabihan
ng "binge!" paki-ulit nalang ang sinabi mo o pakisulat nalang.
Pasensya ka na, anak. Matanda na talaga ako.

Kapag mahina na ang tuhod ko, pagtiyagaan mo sana akong
tulungang tumayo, katulad ng pag-aalalay ko sa iyo
noong nag-aaral ka pa lamang lumakad.

Pagpasensyahan mo sana ako kung ako man ay
nagiging makulit at paulit-ulit na parang sirang plaka.
Basta pakinggan mo nalang ako. Huwag mo sana akong

Pagtatawanan o pagsasawaang pakinggan.

Natatandaan mo anak noong bata ka pa?
kapag gusto mo ng lobo, paulit-ulit mo 'yong sasabihin,
maghapon kang mangungulit hangga't hindi mo nakukuha ang gusto mo.
Pinagtyagaan ko ang kakulitan mo.

Pagpasensyahan mo na rin sana ang aking amoy. Amoy matanda, amoy lupa.
Huwag mo sana akong piliting maligo. Mahina na ang katawan ko.
Madaling magkasakit kapag nalamigan, huwag mo sana akong pandirihan.

Natatandaan mo noong bata ka pa? Pinagtyagaan kitang habulin

Sa ilalim ng kama kapag ayaw mong maligo.

Pagpasensyahan mo sana kung madalas, ako'y masungit,

Dala na marahil ito ng katandaan. Pagtanda mo, maiintindihan mo rin.

Kapag may konti kang panahon, magkwentuhan naman tayo, kahit sandali lang.
Inip na ako sa bahay, maghapong nag-iisa. Walang kausap.

Alam kong busy ka sa trabaho, subalit nais kong malaman mo na sabik na sabik

Na akong makakwentuhan ka, kahit alam kong hindi ka interesado sa mga kwento ko.

Natatandaan mo anak, noong bata ka pa?
Pinagtyagaan kong pakinggan at intindihin
ang pautal-utal mong kwento tungkol sa iyong teddy bear.

At kapag dumating ang sandali na ako'y magkakasakit
at maratay sa banig ng karamdaman,
huwag mo sana akong pagsawaang alagaan.

Pagpasensyahan mo na sana kung ako man ay maihi o madumi sa higaan,
Pagtyagaan mo sana akong alagaan sa mga huling sandali ng aking buhay.
Tutal hindi na naman ako magtatagal.

Kapag dumating ang sandali ng aking pagpanaw, hawakan mo sana ang aking kamay
At bigyan mo ako ng lakas ng loob na harapin ang kamatayan.

At huwag kang mag-alala, kapag kaharap ko na ang Diyos na lumikha,
ibubulong ko sa kanya na pagpalain ka sana ...
Dahil naging mapagmahal ka sa iyong ama't ina...

The Best of Islands Philippines

The Best of Islands Philippines

THE PHILIPPINES stands at the crossroads of the developed western world and the Orient. It lies in the heart of Southeast Asia, stretching more than 1,840 kilometers. Composed of 7,107 islands, the Philippines is readily accessible to the different capitals of the world. Its three main islands are Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.

The South China Sea washes its western shores. Taiwan, China and Hong Kong are northern neighbors and further north is Japan. To the west lie Southeast Asian countries such as Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand. An arm of the archipelago reaches out towards Borneo and at its feet stands the chain of Indonesian islands. To the east and south, the waters of the Pacific Ocean sweep its headlands, looking out towards Micronesia and Polynesia.

Its unique location has made the Philippines the commercial, cultural and intellectual hub of Asia from the dawn of history.

Quotes To Live By

Cherish things while you still have them,
before they're gone,
and you realize how precious they really are.

Life can only be understood backwards,
but it must be lived forwards.

Everything in life is temporary.
So if things are going good,
enjoy it because it won't last forever.
And if things are going bad,
don't worry because it won't last forever either.

Destiny is not a matter of chance,
it is a matter of choice;
it is not a thing to be waited for,
it is a thing to be achieved.

A journey of a thousand miles
begins with a single step.

Never cross a bridge
without knowing how to swim the tides.

If you could not add years to your life
Add life to your years.

LIFE QUOTES (BY DR. HENRY BRANDT)

“You’re just a prayer away from a change of heart.”

“Finding relief in your problem is fine, but it will not cure the problem.”

“My environment can give me relief from sin and tension, only the Lord can cure it.”

“You can manage your sin, but that’s not repentance.”

“If it’s sin, that’s good news! Sin is the simplest thing in the world to deal with.”

“There’s no human remedy for sin.”

“Jesus wants to give you peace.”

“You would think that everyone would leap at the chance to get rid of sin. Not so. They want relief not a cure.”

“Your walk with God does not depend on people, places, things or events.”

“You don’t have a marriage problem, you have a sin problem.”

“I am a victim of my own behavior.”

“God’s children have a limitless supply of the fruit of the Spirit.”

“Biblical counseling is listening to a person long enough until you hear a violation of scripture.”

“Anger is inside you, revealed by an outside source.”

“And one day, when the Lord comes back, everything is going to burn — pooof! In the end we will compare ash piles. Will your ash pile be bigger than my ash pile?”

“What your soul needs is a check up.”
