Father's Love Letter

Still
Words and Music by Reuben Morgan

Hide me now
Under your wings
Cover me
within your mighty hand

When the oceans rise and thunders roar
I will soar with you above the storm
Father you are king over the flood
I will be still and know you are God

Find rest my soul
In Christ alone
Know his power
In quietness and trust

"Leadership is getting players to believe in you. If you tell a teammate you're ready to play as tough as you're able to, you'd better go out there and do it. Players will see right through a phony. And they can tell when you're not giving it all you've got."

Friendship award from jean

Friendship Award from Chai....

I love the blogs of these people and I'm glad to pass this award onto them! All they need to do is to leave the following message on their post when they pass the award on to their chosen eight bloggers.

They all are charmed with the blogs, where in the majority of its aims are to show the marvels and to do friendship; there are persons who are not interested when we give them a prize and then they help to cut these bows; do we want that they are cut or that they propagate? Then let's try to give more attention to them! So with this prize we must deliver it to 10 bloggers that in turn must make the same thing and put this.

i would like to award this to all my friends (the gwapo's and gwapa's) in eversun ... kung wala sila wala rin akong blogsite! nyahahahahah

Destiny Addict Ito 'yung mga taong hinihintay na gumawa ang tadhana ng paraan para pagtagpuin sila ng kanilang mga "soulmates" and whatever. Ayaw kumilos o kung ano pa dahil naniniwala siya na kung sino man 'yung talagang meant for him/her ay darating na lang bigla sa paraang maaaring hindi niya inaasahan--wow, parang Serendipity. Laging maririnig na nagsasabing: "Dadating din 'yan. 'Wag kasing hanapin!" Perfectionist Simula nung magkamalay ang taong ito, nakalista na ang mga bagay na gusto niya sa kanyang magiging boypren/girlpren. Kapag may nakilala siya at nakitang madumi ang kuko, magkadikit ang kilay, may butas sa ngipin, o parang penguin maglakad, wala na. Turn off na 'yun para sa kanya. Laging maririnig na nagsasabing: "Ok na sana siya e. Kaya lang gusto ko 'yung ganito..." Wrong Time Eto naman 'yung mga laging idinadahilan na masyado pa silang bata o kaya masyado na silang matanda. May mga tao raw na ganyan, 'yung pakiramdam nila laging may tamang panahon para sa pag-ibig. Pero ang labo lang kasi tuwing may pagkakataon naman, lagi nilang naiisip na maling panahon pa iyon. Oo, wrong timing lagi ang pag-ibig para sa kanila kasi madalas sumasakto kung kelan meron silang board exams, problema sa pamilya, long test kinabukasan, o dinadahilan na hindi mag wo-worked ang long-distance relationship. Laging maririnig na nagsasabing: "We had the right love at the wrong time..." Busy Bee Pasensya na sila pero masyado kang maraming inaasikaso tulad ng libro, bolpen, papel at calculator. Umaalis ka ng 6 am sa bahay at umuuwi ng 7 ng gabi 'pag weekdays. Pagdating mo sa bahay, gagawa lang ng homework at matutulog na. Masaya ka nang makanood ng TV 'pag Sabado (at gumawa ulit ng homework). Sapat na sa'yo ang kumain sa labas kasama ang pamilya 'pag Linggo (at gumawa pa rin ng homework). Laging maririnig na nagsasabing: "Sorry. Wala akong time sa ganyan e." Friend Forever version 1 Kunwari ka pa dyan. Alam mo namang gusto mo talaga 'yang best friend o special friend mo pero hindi mo lang sinasabi at pinapadama dahil ayaw mong masira ang pagkakaibigan niyong dalawa. 'Yung tipong 'pag may kasamang iba 'yung gusto mo, kunwari ka pang masaya ka para sa kanya pero sa totoo lang, gusto mo na malusaw na parang ice caps dahil sa Global Warming. Laging maririnig na nagsasabing: "I'm so happy for you!" o "Sayang naman 'yung pinagsamahan namin e." Friend Forever version 2 Wala tayong magagawa pero talagang malapit ka lang sa kabilang kasarian--pero bilang kaibigan lang. One-of-the-boys, ladies' man. Hindi ka naman homo o bi pero sadyang kaibigan lang ang tingin mo sa mga taong hindi mo kapareho ng chromosomes. Masaya ka nang nakaka-hang-out lang sila, nakakakwentuhan, niyayakap nang walang halong malisya. Laging maririnig na nagsasabing: "May inuman ba mamaya?" (kung babae) o "Hatid ko ba kayo mamaya?" (kung lalaki) Born to be One Single-blessed ka at wala ka nang magagawa kung ganun. Nilikha ka siguro para maging mag-isa (pero syempre may pamilya at kaibigan ka naman, duh) hanggang tumanda ka na at ipadala sa Home for the Aged. Marami akong kakilalang mukhang ganito ang patutunguhan at hindi naman sila mga pangit o abnoy talaga. Minsan lang, masyado silang masungit. Laging maririnig na nagsasabing: "Mag-isa ako." Happy-go-lucky 'Eto 'yung taong masaya na sa trip-trip lang at kung anu-anong mga happenings. Kahit sino na lang basta no strings attached. For fun lang at walang seryosohan please. Personally, ayoko nung mga ganito. Umaapaw lang siguro 'yung mga taong ganito sa L. Magbuhos ka nalang ng malamig na tubig sa iyong buong katawan at solb na 'yan. Laging maririnig na nagsasabing: "I'm not ready to commit e, but I really like you." Parent Trap Ayaw ni mama o ni papa na magkaboypren/girlpren ang kanilang unica hija/hijo kahit na 22 years old na ito at kumikita na ng sarili niyang pera. Kailangan daw magkaron ka muna ng isang strand ng puting buhok bago may makadalaw sa'yo sa bahay. O kaya, baka ikaw 'yung may problema dahil natatakot ka sa iisipin ng mga magulang mo tungkol sa taong iyong gusto. Baka kasi sabihin nila na masyado siyang bansot/ matangkad/ baboy/ payatot para sa'yo. Laging maririnig na nagsasabing: "Baka kasi magalit si Mama/ Papa." Trauma Dahil sa dami ng mga heartbreak na iyong nadama at emo songs na napakinggan mo na noon, sinumpa mo nang hindi ka magmamahal. Ayaw mo na. Sawa ka na sa paglalaslas ng pulso, este, sa paglalagay ng mga madramang stat message sa YM at pag-iyak ng balde-baldeng luha. Awwwww. Pwede rin namang masyado kang insecure sa sarili mo kaya hindi ka makapagmatapang na magventure into some love quest. Laging maririnig na nagsasabing: "Pagod na pagod na akong masaktan!" Your Ex-Lover Is (NOT) Dead Yikeeee. Mahal pa rin niya ang kanyang ex at hindi siya maka-get-over the person. Boo. Pilit pa ring inaalala ang mga tawanan, iyakan, at PDA moments nilang dalawa kahit 'yung ex niya ay nakikipag-(insert verb here) na sa ibang babae/lalaki. Sasabihin mong nakapag-move on ka na pero pag nagkwentuhan tungkol sa pag-ibig, tandadadaaaaan! Siya na naman naiisip mo. Laging maririnig na nagsasabing: "I'm over him/her..." *tapos iiyak bigla* Ayaw Dalawa na namang kaso ito. Una, ayaw mo lang talaga magka-"someone". Hindi ko na pipilitin ungkatin 'yung dahilan pero may mga pagkakataon lang talaga na ayaw mo. Ikalawa naman, baka...ayaw kasi sa'yo nung gusto mo. And that's the shizzest thing ever! Pwedeng ayaw niya sa'yo dahil may girlpren/boypren siya, busy siya or whatever, o kaya ayaw ka lang niya talaga at wala ka nang magagawa kung ganun. Laging maririnig na nagsasabing: "Ayoko pa magkaboypren/girlpren e." o "Hindi naman niya ako gusto." Ikaw, saan ka?

A Lesson for a Lifetime

When I arrived at 6 a.m. in the large hospital kitchen, Rose was already checking name tags on the trays against the patient roster. Stainless steel shelves held rows of breakfast trays which we would soon be serving.

"Hi, I'm Janet." I tried to sound cheerful, although I already knew Rose's reputation for being impossible to work with. "I'm scheduled to work with you this week."

Rose, a middle-aged woman with graying hair, stopped what she was doing and peered over her reading glasses. I could tell from her expression she wasn't pleased to see a student worker.

"What do you want me to do? Start the coffee?"

Rose sullenly nodded and went back to checking name tags.

I filled the 40-cup pot with cold water and began making the coffee when Rose gruffly snapped, "That's not the way to make coffee." She stepped in and took over.

"I was just doing it the way our supervisor showed us to do it," I said in astonishment.

"The patients like the coffee better the way I do it," she replied curtly.

Nothing I did pleased her. All morning her eagle eyes missed nothing and her sharp words stung. She literally trailed me around the kitchen.

Later, after breakfast had been served and the dishes had been washed, I set up my share of trays for the next meal. Then I busied myself cleaning the sink. Certainly Rose couldn't criticize the way I did that.

When I turned around, there stood Rose, rearranging all of the trays I had just set up!

Totally exhausted, I trudged the six blocks home from the University of Minnesota Hospital late that June afternoon. As a third year university student working my way through school, I had never before encountered anyone like Rose.

Fighting back tears, I wrestled with my dilemma alone in my room. "Lord, what do you want me to do? I can't take much more of Rose."

I turned the possibilities over in my mind. Should I see if my supervisor would switch me to work with someone else? Scheduling was fairly flexible. On the other hand, I didn't want to be a quitter. I knew my older co-workers were watching to see if my actions matched my words.

The answer to my prayer caught me completely by surprise -- I needed to love Rose.

Love her? No way! Tolerate, yes, but loving her was impossible.

"Lord, I can't love Rose. You'll have to do it through me."

Working with Rose the next morning, I ignored the barbs thrown in my direction and did things Rose's way as much as possible to avoid friction. As I worked, I silently began to surround Rose with a warm blanket of prayers. "Lord, help me love Rose. Lord, bless Rose."

Over the next few days an amazing thing began to happen. As I prayed for this irritating woman, my focus shifted from what she was doing to me, and I started seeing Rose as the hurting person she was. The icy tension began to melt away.

Throughout the rest of the summer, we had numerous opportunities to work together. Each time she seemed genuinely happy to see me. As I worked with this lonely woman, I listened to her--something no one else had done.

I learned that she was burdened by elderly parents who needed her care, her own health problems, and an alcoholic husband she was thinking of leaving.

The days slipped by quickly as I finished the last several weeks of my summer job. Leaves were starting to turn yellow and red, and there was a cool, crispness in the air. I soon would be returning as a full-time university student.

One day, while I was working alone in one of the hospital kitchens, Rose entered the room. Instead of her blue uniform, she was wearing street clothes.

I looked at her in surprise. "Aren't you working today?"

"I got me another job and won't be working here no more," she said as she walked over and gave me a quick hug. "I just came to say good-bye." Then she turned abruptly and walked out the door.

Although I never saw Rose again, I still remember her vividly. That summer I learned a lesson I've never forgotten. The world is full of people like Rose--irritating, demanding, unlovable - yet hurting inside. I've found that love is the best way to turn an enemy into a friend.

"Love your enemies! Do good to them! Lend to them! And don't be concerned that they might not repay. Then your reward from heaven will be very great, and you will truly be acting as children of the Most High, for he is kind to the unthankful and to those who are wicked."
Luke 6:35 NLT

a true inspiring luv story...

“ you are the reason why I wake up each
day with a smile. You are one of the few things that make me so alive.
And just the thought of you always makes me feel better everyday.”
Maybe this is what really love is. For some, having someone around who
loves you truly and unconditionally might be a good reason enough to go
on living.
In every love story, there is always an exciting story that lies behind it. And Ian and Jemini is not an exception to that.
When I knew that the couple wanted me to
be part of this special day, I was silently screaming in the four walls
of my quiet room for happiness and excitement. The moment I knew that I
man hosting, I immediately thought of asking their love story. And
lucky enough I was granted. And we are given privilege now to take a
short glimpse in their love story. The bride, sent me this email.
“Ian and I started out as friends. We
crossed paths when we were in high school. We acted as if we were just
plainly friends and there was nothing special. We never imagined or
wished that we will end up together someday. Ian and I may have lots of
differences but we got along well. We both enjoyed each others company
and loved every minute of it .I knew then that Ian worked hard at the
very young age, not only for himself but for his family as well. Seeing
all these, I learned to adore his strength and being responsible at
that age. I was able to looked and compare my life to his. I knew I was
living a secure life for I have my family who was there to guide me and
will provide my needs. That’s how I saw the difference.
It was in college years when things got
a bit serious, and the feelings are getting out of hand. Ian started
fetching me off from church and brought me home safe and sound. I
thought it was nothing but just simply a gesture of a caring friend.
But for Ian it was the other way around. Until such time that he can’t
keep his feelings for himself alone. He had to let out or else he’ll be
out of his mind sooner. And so he did. The right time has come.. After
seven long months of serious, heartfelt of formal courtship, I gave my
wonderful yes to Ian. It pave way to both of us to enjoy the times of
being together and bringing the friendship to a different level. I
never knew I would be very happy. We both took the challenge and
accepted the chance to whatever fate will bring us.
Life was not always a bed of roses for
Ian and I. We came across the ups and downs of our relationship. We
have faced the best and the worst while we were together. We’ve faced
the battle of break-ups three times and came to a point of almost
quitting and letting it all go. But things didn’t happen the way I
thought it would be. God has other plans for both of us. And that is to
stick together and continue fighting for the love we had. God made ways
to let us realize the importance of each other that life will never be
the same if not together. God helped us see the goodness of loving
truly and accepting who we really are. No matter what differences we
have to take. We both learned that love is unconditional, love has no
bounds, it has no limits, no what ifs, no how’s, and no buts. As long
as we keep holding on and keep that faith to God, everything is
possible.
After six years of being together, we
both decided to bind our love with forever commitment. My plans are not
solely for myself now, but along with that is my loving husband. We
promise to put
God to be the center of our lives. Here
I am now married to my loving “honey”, my very best friend. There is
nothing I could ask for, for I am the happiest woman in the world.”

Friends are the people who we love to meet again and again in our life. If we have good friends around us, we are lucky. We can have a number of friends but it is hard to have some good friends.

We all know that a person’s friendship can reveal his/her personality. Because of this, we find hard to find a good friend. So now, finding a good friend out of “friends” is something necessary.
First of all, let’s answer some questions.

You just have to say YES / NO.

1 Will your friend share his/her happy and sad moments with you?
2 Will your friend render his/her help to you?
3 Will your friend help you in all your crucial moments?
4 Will your friend blame you, any time or any where? (Even in past)
5 Will your friend gossips about you to anybody?
6 Will your friend gives you good advice?
7 Will your friend encourages your talents?
8 Will your friend insult you in front of other people?
9 Will your friend tells you everything? (Personal)
10 Will your friend allow you to speak frankly?
11 Will your friend hear and act according to your advices?
12 Will your friend accept your ideas and plans?

Now, I hope you have some collection of YES/No ‘s. if you have more YES, then, he/she is your ideal friend, else they are not. This is just a simple idea to find the good friends.

Now, decide your good friends and share your moments with them. Surely, your future will become as bright as sun!

“Give, and it shall be given to you. For whatever measure you deal out to others, it will be dealt to you in return.”

*LoVe*

"Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are.

Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossom had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two.
- Captain Corelli's Mandolin. "Love is the beauty of the soul."
