Paid in Full..

As for the coming Mother's Day, I am sharing this wonderful article as a tribute to all moms in the w0rld...

A little boy came up to his mother in the kitchen one evening while she was fixing supper, and he handed her a piece of paper that he had been writing on.

After his mama dried her hands on an apron, she read it and this is what it said: For cutting the grass:P5.00. For cleaning up my room this week:P1.00. For going to the store for you:0.50 cents. Baby-sitting my kid brother while you went shopping:.25 cents. Taking out the garbage:P1.00. For getting a good report card:P5.00. For cleaning and sweeping the yard:P2.00. Total owed: P14.75.

His mother looked at him standing there and the boy could see the memories flashing through her mind. She picked up the pen, turned over the paper he'd written on, and this is what she wrote:

For nine months I carried you while you were growing inside me: no charge.For all the nights that I've sat up with you, doctored and prayed for you: No charge. For all the trying times, and all the tears that you've caused through the years: No charge. For all the nights that were filled with dread and for the worries I knew were ahead: no charge. For the toys, food , clothes, and even wiping your nose: No charge, son. When you add it up, the cost of my love is : No charge.

When the boy finished reading what his mother had written, there were big tears in his eyes, and he looked straight at his mother and said,"Mom, I sure do love you." And then he took the pen and in great big letters he wrote: "PAID IN FULL".

How nice it is to see the flowers in mist after the rain!
May we be like flowers, never fading and still blossoming
even after life's trials and struggles.

how important is respect in friendship?

A friend of mine got mad at me because I wasn't able to grant her favor for a thing that I too have my own reason. The sad thing is she doesn't listen and understand my view. That's why even if I have already apologized, still she said hurting words against me.

RESPECT is a very important factor in all forms of relationship even in friendship. Even if I am a friend, that doesn't mean that I no longer have the right to say "no." In the first place, I have my reason. The only thing that hurts me is that she doesn't respect my decision and didn't even accept my apology. It happened na sya na nga ang humingi na favor, ako pa ang naging makasalanan.

People can be immature I know. However, I still wish that she'll wake up one day realizing that I never have any intention to ruin the friendship only for that matter. I was sincerely apologizing though I have my reason. When she could have understood instead. But she judged me right away and listen only to her own view without even respecting mine. Sigh!

recapitulating the moment..

just for the record about my holy week activity...

we went on a church visit last Thursday otherwise known as "bisita iglesia". for the first time in my life..i did it!and as has been traditionally done during lenten season, we ought to visit seven churches but then instead of seven, i reached up to eight..wow!!di naman kaya ako lalampas sa langit nito!hehe! but it was worth it..i got to revive my strong grip into my Christianity. i know it's not just about mere religion but more importantly, it's about my relationship with God. my first time to survive with just little solids and more water intake. thank God my ulcer didn't struck. whew!medyo nahilo ako in my last church visit but God gave me enough strength to go on...nga pala belated Happy Easter sa lahat!

thank God...I know I just couldn't thank Him enough.

a prayer..

Heavenly Father, you are so good to Your children--You have created this beautiful world for us. You fill our nights with stars and our days with glorious sunlight... You nourish us with your presence and sustain us with Your love... You give us freedom to make choices, and even when we make the wrong ones,

You never give up on us.

You reach down and lift us up from where we are to where we want to be...For all these things we praise and thank You, Father.

a reflection

May we truly reflect in this observance of the Holy Week.

I pray you'll be our eyes
And watch us where we go
And help us to be wise
In times when we don't know

Let this be our prayer
As we go our way
Lead us to a place
Guide us with your Grace
To a place where we'll be safe

La luce che to dai
I pray we'll find your light
Nel cuore rester�
And hold it in our hearts
A ricordarchi che
When stars go out each night
L'eterna stella sei
Nella mia preghiera
Let this be our prayer
Quanta fede c'�
When shadows fill our day
Lead us to a place
Guide us with your grace

Give us faith so we'll be safe.
Sognamo un mondo senza pi� violenza
Un mondo di giustizia e di speranza
Ognuno dia la mano al suo vicino
Simbolo di pace e di fraternit�

La forza che ci dai
We ask that life be kind
E'il desiderio che
And watch us from above
Ognuno trovi amore
We hope each soul will find
Intorno e dentro a s�
Another soul to love


Let this be our prayer
Just like every child
Just like every child

Needs to find a place,
Guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe
E la fede che
Hai acceso in noi
Sento che ci salver
