Irony

 Sometimes we become impatient

and want things to happen instantly

when patience is the only virtue

to make things work well.

 

Sometimes we give too much

to people who deserve so little

and give too little

to those who deserve much.

 

Sometimes we value the things

that are worthless

and take for granted

those that are of great value.

 

Sometimes we cry for no reason

but at times tears dry up

even when crying

will make us feel better.

 

Sometimes we force ourselves to laugh

even when there are

too many reasons to cry

and sometimes we can’t laugh

even when things are funny.

 

Sometimes we want so much to do nothing

when there are so many things

that need to be done

and want to do something

when there is nothing to do.

 

Sometimes we love to be

on the greener grass on the other side

but wants to be back once we’re there.

 

We can never be satisfied…

Always searching…always wanting…

when the only thing that we need in this world is

contentment.

An Open Letter to God

Dear God

You deliberately disregard my wants. You always prioritize what you perceive is right dismissing my preferences. You maneuver and take control of my life even during those times when I am so bent on doing things my way. There is never “my way”. It is always Your Way. You get things done ever so slowly that at times I get impatient waiting and sometimes I am bordering on thinking that you’ve already forgotten about me and my wants and needs. You always make things happen in your time and NEVER my time. I sometimes wonder if you still love me and think of me. I do question Your ways many times especially when things are seemingly not working out well for me.

And for all of this, I thank you Lord. Please continue to be the King, the Ruler, the Boss and the Commander-in-chief of my life and best of all please do continue to be the Perfect Father I so badly need because without your loving infallible hands, my life would have been so messed up. Thank you Lord and forgive all my unnecessary qualms, questions and misgivings. I surrender everything to you, in Jesus’ name.

Love,

Your ever-so-stubborn-daughter

What it takes to be complete…

You don’t need a lot to be complete…

♥   You don’t need hundreds of friends to make a single memory but you can create hundreds of memories with a single friend.

♥ You don’t need the whole world to love you, just the people you love to love you back.

♥ You don’t need a big mansion when all you need are a few people that matter to you to build a happy home.

♥ Not all the things that cost much can make you smile and not all things that make you smile cost much.

♥ Happy are they that cherish all the simple things around them rather than seek for the things that are not meant for them.

 It is in appreciation that happiness lies and it is gratitude that serenity starts.

Dare to be Different…

Today is not merely a reproduction of yesterday..

It’s new.. It’s fresh..

Celebrate life for its uniqueness and stand-out! ♥B

Smile :) and Be Happy

One of the many reasons why people are unhappy is because the moment they feel joy creeping within, fear sets in as well, fear that comes from the knowledge that nothing can last forever, that happiness like the beautiful flowers can fade away as fast as the ever-changing seasons. Perhaps the problem lies not in the constant change… not in the fact that nothing lasts forever, but rather on our individual outlook on things. If instead of thinking that happiness as a gateway to misfortune or a prelude to sadness or expecting that it will eventually be over and be replaced by unhappiness, why not think of happiness as a reward for all the heartaches, hardships and disappointments? Perhaps in thinking that we all deserve to be happy because we all endured much, went through a lot and bore it all then maybe… just maybe, we may savor happiness more and just be grateful for it without fear nor apprehension….

Smile and just be happy coz’ you deserve it. ♥B.

For G&J

Togetherness…

Togetherness doesn’t necessarily mean being close physically. It is achieved when two people feel a common bond whether they are together or apart. True friendship transcends time and space. Years may pass and distance may come between friends, yet the love, worth and care for each other will always remain the same. ♥B.

Rain on me, Lord…

Pour out your grace upon me Lord.
Shower me with your blessings.
Drench me in your perpetual mercy.
Let me be forever soaked in your love and kindness.
Wash away all my anxieties and worries.
Cleanse any wickedness or ill thoughts I may and will have.
Immerse me in perfect absolution.
That I will forever be submerged in your loving protection and guidance for all eternity.
Amen.

L ♥ V E: Destiny or Chance?

What is love to you or more specifically what is being in love to you? Is it some kind of mystic feeling that happens suddenly through a magic moment or is it more of the day to day building of emotions that started by chance and events?
The belief that love is a special inevitable destiny initiated by fate is somehow a bit too mysterious to realize but too romantic for many not to believe in. The thought that there is someone for everyone, that we are all created with a soul mate already assigned for us is just hard to pass out.  But there are also those who believe that love is conceived through chance and governed by circumstances, being in the right place at the right time and that it does not happen in an instant but rather through days, months and even years of knowing each other. Love probably is one of the mysteries that will never ever be completely understood. But perhaps it is never meant to be understood but rather be felt and cherished. I guess this is where our mind, which they say is the most powerful part of our body, can fall short of its abilities.
And as for me, I think no matter how many decades I stay on this Earth, I still would not know the answer. Even if I live my life all over again, still my mind will not be able to comprehend what my heart completely understands. ♥B.

Tragic Moment…

Sometimes it takes a tragic moment to make us realize our vulnerability here on earth… how life can be inevitably short…

So my friends…

Give more freely

Smile more sweetly

Hug more tightly

Love more deeply

Be vocal, be showy..

Always be grateful.

Savor every moment.

Coz’ in this unpredictable life,

one thing is for sure…

that everything is temporary…

♥B.

Happiness…

Do you chase after happiness or do you let it chase after you?
