Proud of Being Poor?

"I am proud of being poor!" - we always hear this statement, implying that one is not ashamed of being poor. This statement contains a strong message that may determine the value of being a proud individual who experiences poverty and the lack of material things that are supposedly available and visible inside a house - it delivers the message to never be ashamed of who you are and what you only have, instead be proud because you are alive and enjoying the gift of life. Powerful! But, let me give my views on this. If we are to reconsider our previous life, back when the time that everything seemed to be perfect for our wants and needs, back when the days we were thinking about those things that we had were enough for our physiological needs, we were contented.  Furthermore, as time goes, as our age is numbered, the level of our needs and wants increase. We may still be earning the same amount of sources and income but we will look for something that is new, s...

I am a Christian. What's the difference between me and you?

I am a Christian, basically we are (all) Christians as we are sons of God. But what's the difference between me and you? I'll start with the other one... Him, as a Christian, is someone who has Godly friends - boring people, boring activities like discussing about God, life, reading the Bible, sharing one another's story. Him, as a Christian is now someone who is not a party goer, never a drunkard of alcoholoc drinks, never chases men and women, always so serious about the job he does, never knows how to laugh out with funny jokes around him. He never plays with love stories, he is a worshipper of God, he comes to Church every Sunday or once a week, he joins to a life group, he has boring friends as well, he seldom sings songs from popular artists in the world, he defines GOODNESS as the essence of True Love, he shares God with other, he shares his life before and after he knew of Jesus, he has great stories about Jesus. He is a boring person... a boring person to be wi...

10. Does not say "Me First!" 9. Believes the best about others. 8. Does not "keep score" of the bad things others do. 7. Does not tear down others. 6. Is not conceited. 5. Is patient with others. 4.

LOVE.  According to psychologists, the most  basic human need is to love and be loved. There is no power greater than love. It can motivate people to do thins for others they wouldn't normally do. But if love is such a beautiful thing, so essential to life, why is there so little of it in the world? The answer is simple. True love is more than a sentimental, gushy feeling. Love is a decision, a choice we each must make. The greatest demonstration of love is to give our life for the person we love. God did that. even before we were born, He demonstrated His great love for us when He gave His Only S...

The Unconditional Love

This is one of the hardest thing that we have to do. The fact that we know the whole truth of being just a human, I would have to say it is difficult for us people to love anyone without any condition. After all the compromises the she did, it finds me very unlawful and disgusting. It is my point of view where I know, its is really a hard thing to do to love such a perfect reason. How could it be? If all that we know were only human, in the very first place we have our own brain, its for good though sometimes it leads us to such things that results to sin. God completed us, physically and emotionally, and He gave us brain to think, but not because God made it, it doesn't mean we follow Him all the time, no we don't. For over how many years have past and until now, as far as we knew God is love and He teaches how to love people as what He loved us, that even people, some of them are showing something like that, we follow sometimes we don't. Love, it was...

The Implications of Typhoon Sendong

Pasko na ba? Bigla ko namang naitanong yan sa sarili ko, sa kabila ng lahat ng nangyayari. One of the reasons why I'd say it's Christmas, it's the people, they seemed to be happy anywhere anytime, joyful Christmas Parties, joyful Christmas lights, lanterns, reunions, giving gifts and any other joyful things they do. And of course, the essence of Christmas, the climate changes into a very cold and fresh air, and that's no doubt, it's Christmas indeed!! How do i find it? It's something few days to go, before December 25th, but until now, I still find it so disappointing, so sad and it seem to me it's still not Christmas season. Why? Behind of those happenings around us, the tragedies and the lives who just lost because of the Typhoon in CDO and Iligan City and any other Cities and places over the Island of the Philippines. That Typhoon resulted a lot damages, houses were being wrecked, trashed and being broken. Many people's life were being caught dea...

Christmas is Here, Bringing Good Cheer!!!

Christmas is finally here bringing good cheer to everyone! This is actually the most important occasion we that are celebrating. It's all about Jesus Christ's Day, which we all know, we must be the most happiest people in every way we learn to love others which Jesus' command. Thanks for this time, that even in just once in a year, I will remember the time I've learned how to love children, family, myself, others and God. And in that, the love is always staying in my mind, of how to be in love and give love. The Christmas always reminds me of how happy the life I had. God gave me good and real friends, family, brothers and sisters, and on the other hand, Jesus always give me rooms for mistakes for me to learn from it and grow. Jesus taught me the word "challenge" which I always considered it as my starting point of my long run in life. On Christmas, we always unite. And during Christmas, it's the time I will see all of my family members, my p...
