Litrato

Sa aming paglisan ang litrato ang laging di maiwan

Laging kasama sa ano man laban ng buhay

Kapag nalulumbay o napapagod litrato ang hinahawakan

Napapailing o napapangiti sa katitig ng mga litrato ng mga naiwan

Kapag napagalitan ng among panga-api ng dayuhan

Uupo na lang sa isang tabi at ang isang munting litrato ay aming tangan

Larawan ang sumbungan sa lahat ng paghihinagpis ng buhay

Kinakausap hanggang makatulog ng tuluyan

Buti na lang nandyan ang litrato

pangpawi ng inis at lumbay  na nararamdaman

Di na lang papansinin  ano mang pangaaping naranasan

Dahil sa mga mata ng mga nasa litrato na nagsasabing

“kami’y naghihintay at lagi mo karamay sa ano mang laban ng buhay”

Taon man ay lumipas litrato pa rin ay maasahan

sa paggabay ng buhay ng aming mga minamahal

Nasusundan ang paglaki ng mga anak at apong naghihintay

Maraming okasyon ang dumaan aming pinanghihinayangan

Dama ang kirot sa aming dibdib na di kami kasama sa mga bagong litrato ng aming mga mahal sa buhay

Ngunit kita sa aming mga mata na may halong saya

Kapag nakikita sila’y malulusog at masasaya sa bawat

piraso ng litrato na aming natatanggap at napagmamasdan

Sa aming pakikibaka sa buhay litrato ang pangpalakas sa buhay

Lagi nagpapaalala na kami’y may pinaglalaanan ng lahat ng sakripisyo na aming pinagdadaanan.

Lagi may bakas ng ngiti sa mga labi kapag ang litrato ay

aming tangan at laging handa sa ano man laban

Sa aming manlalakbay malaki ang bahagi ng litrato

Litrato ang aming gabay sa araw araw dito sa malayong lugar

Kung saan naghahanap buhay para sa mga mahal sa buhay

Power of Friendship

Friendship is a relationship with broad ambiguous and even shifting boundaries. The terms friend and friendship mean different things to different people and different things to the same people at different times. It involves as little or as much intimacy as the partners are inclined to express at any given times.

Friends are not normally obligated to change benefits, but do so in ways that are often so natural as to be unwitting. The ties that bind them are by unfettered mutual consent. A friendship contributes a unique ways to personal development and well being.

Human beings are born into this little span of life of which the best thing is its friendships and intimacies…and yet they leave their friendship and intimacies with no cultivation to grow as they will by the roadside, expecting them to “keep by force of mere inertia.

Friendship is a blessing, and a friend is the channel through whom great emotional, spiritual, and sometimes even physical blessings flow. Friends will cheer us when we’re sorrowful or depressed. Friends will challenge us to attain our original limits with encouragement when we allow ourselves not to go beyond our reasonable boundaries. Friends will motivate us when we’re ready to give in, and they can provide for us when life falls apart.

What a wonderful thing it is to have a good friend. He identifies your innermost desires, and spares you the embarrassment of disclosing them to him yourself. It’s important to our friends to believe that we are unreservedly frank with them and important to our friendship that we are not. Only friends will tell you the truths you need to hear to make… your life bearable. A true friend is a greatest of all blessings and that which we take the least care of all to acquire.

These are magnet in your heart that will attract true friends. That magnet is unselfishness thinking of others first… when you learn to live for others, they will live for you…

                                       

So folks… Seek those who find your road agreeable, your personality and mind stimulating, your philosophy acceptable and your experiences helpful…let those who do not seek their own kind. Shared joys make friend, not shared sufferings. Life without a friend is death without a witness…

Take Smart - Not Crazy - Risks

Accept that all of us can be hurt, that all of us can- and surely will at times - fail other vulnerabilities, like being embarrassed or risking love, can be terrifying too. I think we should follow a simple rule : if we can take the worst, take a risk.

Everyman has the right to risk his own life in order to preserve it. Every minute of life you take a risk; it's part of the enjoyment. If you limit your actions in life to things that nobody can possibly find fault with, You will not do much.

The important thing is this : to be able at my moment to sacrifice what we are for what we could become... Nothing can resist a will which will stake even existence upon it's fulfillment.

In your life is ever going to get better, you'll have to risks. There is simply no way you can grow without taking chances. Risk! Risk anything! Do the hardest thing on earth for you...Act for yourself face the truth!

I Choose not to Judge them, but to Forgive them

Sp_f76t1844_1 Father, I thank You for the people in my life who seem to bring more pain than joy, for I believe YOU have let our paths cross for important reason. Thank you for the good things You want to do in my life through the things that bother me (their moodiness? their unloving ways? their demands? their insensitivity? their unrealistic expectations? ) I’m grateful that You are with me, to meet my needs when others-even those close to me-fail to do so. I’m so glad that You are also within me, working to make me more like Jesus-more patient, more gentle, more loving-through the very things I dislike.

 

Thank You too that You love these people, and that Your love is adequate to meet their deep needs and transform their lives, however willful or unwise they may sometimes be. Thank You that You care for them deeply, and that each of them has the potential of being a vast reservoir from which You could receive eternal pleasure. And so, though I may not feel grateful, I give thanks for them by faith, trusting Your goodness, Your wisdom, Your power, and Your love for them as well as for me.


And I praise YOU that I need not fret about these people, or be envious, or mull over angry thoughts to prove I’m right. Thank You that by Your power I can receive them as You receive me: just as I am, warts and wrinkles and hang-ups and all…that I can choose not to judge them, but to forgive them…to cancel any debts I feel they owe me – any apologies, any obligations…that through Your grace, I can choose to wipe clean slate of grievances I have within me and a view these people with heart that says, “ You no longer owe me a thing”. Thank You for Your spirit who empowers me, so that I can do them good, delight in You, and commit my way to You, resting in You as You unfold Your good purpose in these relationships – in Your time

I Choose to Thank You for my Weaknesses

 

Sp_f76t1820

I choose to thank you for my weaknesses, my infirmities, my inadequacies (physical, mental, emotional, relational) … for the ways I fall short of what people view as ideal… for my feelings of helplessness and inferiority, and even my pain and distresses. What a comport it is to know that you understand the feeling of my weakness… and that in your infinite wisdom you have allowed these in my life so that they may contribute to your high purpose for me.

 
I specifically THANK YOU for :

 
That many time my weaknesses – through my pride and help walk humbly with you…and then, as you’ve promised you give me more grace – You help me and bless and strengthen me. Thank you for all the ways I’m inadequate for they prod me to trust in you and not in myself…and in grateful that my adequacy comes from you

 

Thank you for each disturbing or humbling situation in my life, for each breaking or cleansing process You are allowing, for each problem or hindrance, for each thing that triggers in an anxiety or anger or pain.

 

Thank you also for each difficulty is opportunity to see you work…that in your time you will bring me out to a place of abundance. I rejoice that You plan to enrich and beautify me through each problem, each conflict, each struggle…that through them You expose my weaknesses and needs, my hidden sins, my self-centeredness (and especially my self-reliance and pride).

 

Thank you that You use trials to humble me and perfect my faith and produce in me the quality of endurance…that they prepare the soil of my heart for the flesh new growth in godliness that You and I both long to see in me… and that you momentary troubles are producing for me an eternal glory that far outweighs them all, as I keep my eyes focused on You.

 

Thank You that I can trust You to remove or change any of my weaknesses and handicaps and shortcomings. The moment they are no longer needed for your glory, and for my good, and that in the meantime. I am grateful that You look beyond my superficial desire for trouble-free life; instead, You, enjoy your warm fellowship, and become more like your Son. Your grace is sufficient for me, for your strength is made perfect in my weakness.


"Therefore I am well content with weaknesses with insults, with distress with difficulties, for Christ sake for when  I am strong " ( 2 Corinthians 12 :10)

 

You have Supernatural Help!

The Holy Spirit, that wonderful gift sent by our risen Lord to indwell us and empowers us. The Lord has not set before us ideal of a life filled with praise and then left us alone to achieve it. How could we, on our own reach such as a high goal- with the down-pull of our old fleshly patterns of living; with the pain of our trials, large or small; with our tendency to depend on ourselves and get distracted from the Lord and do our own thing. But we have the Holy Spirit! Just think of this means!

 
He is within you as a fountain of water, springing up to fill you with fresh life-life that is eternal, life that is full. Through him, time after time, you can know the refreshment that comes from the presence of the Lord. Through the spirit you can understand the scriptures and experience the marvelous things God has freely given you in Christ. Through him you are liked in vital oneness with the father and the son and have all you need for life and godliness. You have all you need to inspire praise; comport, encouragement, inexpressible joy, overflowing hope, strength in your innermost being and power to love and serve.

 
You also have power to praise and give thanks: “Ever be filled with the spirit…continue giving thanks for everything” (Ephesians 5:18). You don’t have to beg the Holy Spirit to fill you…To gracious influence and control. He then performs his amazing ministries in you

Ang Umalis ng Sariling Bayan

Umalis sa aking bayan upang baguhin ang aking pamumuhay

Halo-halong nararamdaman ng umupo pa lang sa eroplanong aking hinintay                                                                    Naiiyak na parang bata at ang hanap ang nanay pati rin ang tatay

Tinititigan ang pintuan di mawari kung tatalikuran and bayang naghihintay

Napatulala ng pansamantala at biglang may sumigaw “ umupo ng husay”

at unti-unting umangat at umalis ng tuluyan ang eroplanong

aking sinasakyan



Nakarating ng maayos sa bagong bahay

walang makakasama at walang karamay

takot ang bumalot at pagaalala kung paano makakaya

sinusubukan na lang na umasa sa gabay ng Dyos at may

dasal na kasama



unti unting nakakasanayan ang buhay na ganito

pinipilit na maging masigla at para di mabato

nababawasan ang pagaalala at nakakapadala ng konting balato

mga tsokolate, de lata at kape at kung sinuwerte

may kasama pang pabango

Konting pera ang isasakripisyo para magkaron ng bahay at lupa

na bato

at itutuloy ang kontrata hanggang mabuo ang pangnegosyo

 

Di maiwasan minsan ang lungkot na dumadaan

Iiyak ka na lang at matutulog kung kinakailangan

Para di matuluyan na  masiraan

mugto ang mata kinaumagan at maliligo para mapreskuhan

Patuloy na lumaban para makayanan and lahat ng karanasan

na di maiwasan

 

Nakakalungkot ang mga pinagdaanan

Marami ang gustong matikman

Katulad ng baboy na sinigang o kinamatisan

Pati pansit ni aling Beng na nakakatakam

ultimong adobong pusit na malinamnam

Amoy ng tuyo na may hiniwang kamatis sa umagahan

Yan ang mga nakakapanghinayang habang wala ka sa sariling

bayan



Walang magagawa kundi maghintay

At magpasalamat sa may bigay ng bagong buhay

At nawa’y maibalik ko ang lahat ng bigay

Sa pamamagitan ng pagtulong sa kapwa at nangangailangan

Walang katapusan pasasamat at tayo ay napagbigyan sa

ganitong buhay

At balang araw gusto ko makita ng Poong mahal kung gaano ko

pinahalagahan ang lahat ng biyaya na aking natikman



Sana'y sa lahat na nagsusumikap at malayo sa mga minamahal

Wag mawalan ng pagasa  ikaw din ay balang araw ay

mamahinga

wag lang sayangin ang mga kinita at purihin ang Dyos sa lahat

ng bigay nya



Di niya tayo pinabayaan  mula sa araw ng ating paglisan

hanggang sa makabalik sa ating bayan

Kungdi sa iyong gabay di ko sana narating itong aking

kinalalagyan

Maraming Salamat po aking panginoon sa lahat ng mga biyaya

na iyong binigay

Angulo ng buhay : iba't ibang pinoproblema

Walang ibang hiling ng bawat isa sa atin kundi ang buhay na walang kasing saya at walang problema
subalit ang problema’y laging kasama at dala dala habang buhay pa
Nandyan na iiyak ka o sisihin ang iba


May kasabihan nga “problema ay tawanan”
pero minsan di ka naman makatawa sa hirap maresolba
Iba’t ibang problema ang dadaan
susubukan ang iyong lakas kung hanggang saan


Nandyan ang wala kang makitang mapagkakakitaan
para kumita ng malaki para matugunan ang pangangailangan
Ang iba naman walang matitirhan kundi nasa bangketa lamang
Init at lamig kinatatakutan dahil masakit sa kalamnan


Meron pa ngang walang wala maipasok sa nangangalam na tyan subalit ang iba’y  walang tigil sa kakain
hanggang si Calayan ayaw ng tantanan


Iba’t ibang pampaganda ang pinagkakagastusan
para maging kamukha nya si Madonna o Sharon Cuneta
Di na nakuntento kung anong taglay nya
imbes na gumanda ay naging bruha


Marami din ang maykaya walang ginusto na di makuha
lahat ng luho ay nakakamit nya
di nya namalayan lahat ng yaman nya nalustay na


Sa mga binata’t dalaga ang gusto ay makahanap ng makakasama
di rin magtatagal at naghahanap ng iba
hanggang di na makakita ng magmamahal sa kanya


Ang iba pa nga ay buti nakapagasawa
away at murahan ang ginawa sa buhay
na pinangakuan na sila’y magsasama sa hirap at ginhawa


Maraming trabaho ang naghihintay sa kanya

sya naman ang ayaw at walang ambisyon sa buhay nya Pinakamataas na position ay napasakanya di inayos
Hangang nakasuhan ng pagnanakaw sa kumpanya


Mas malupit ang gustong guminhawa
at subukan na makapunta sa ibang bansa para kumita nabiyayaan sya ng dolyares na makakapasaya ng pamilya
di rin naglaon nakahanap ng iba
asawa’t anak ay kinalimutan na at lahat ng nais para sa kanila ay naging walang saysay dahil iba ang inuna


Kung lahat ng problema ay ilalahad para mapagtanto
kung saan, kanino at paano nagsisimula ang mga ito
Laging hinuhuli ang pagsisi at di bale sumaya ka naman kahit minuto
Masasabing may solusyon at leksyon  ang dulot nito
Pero hanggang kaylan ka matututo
Nawa’y lahat tayo ay magising sa mga dagok  ng buhay na ito Upang tayo’y makatulong sa sinasabing pagbabago ng buong pagkatao


At kung problema’y balakid sa buhay para maging maligaya harapin, kayanin at alamin kung ano ang ipinapahiwatig ng problema
At higit sa lahat isama ang Dyos na may awa at may bigay ng mga biyaya
at laging nagpaparaya na di maalala kapag tayo ay di namomroblema…
Problema’y mareresolba kung lagi tayong tatawag sa kanya Dyos lagi ang makasama sa lahat ng problema na ating inaaala.

In Time of Darkness

What do you do when you don’t want

to live but not ready to die?

What do you do when you’re right on the edge,

with no one to catch you when you fall?


You lost your last semblance of hope

and without it there’s no way to fight

Your life has no purpose or meaning

and there’s nothing inside you but fear.

If there’s just one who cares about you…

then perhaps you’ll cope

If there’s one being who wants you as

part of their life…

then perhaps it will be a reason-

A beginning and not the end.


There are many tomorrows in your life

you see, don’t ever give up because

you have me…

You have someone here who loves you and cares

and will never give up on you even on dare

I will be the light in your dark surroundings…



Remember it always for I am right here

To be there for you true the pain and the sorrow

Thru every tomorrow and don’t let

darkness take over you…
