A day of praise.....

Im feeling under the weather.
I felt the pounding of my head for the last few days, I dont know if its looking for another head or what but I know Im not feeling well. But that wont stop me from praising Him for all that He has done and will be doing in my life. There may be setbacks and a few hurts along life's journey but that wont keep me from giving praise and thanking Him. I try to see the bright side of things that are seemingly dark and have clouded the bright skies of my life. I have learned to cherish the wonderful memories that it has brought into my life and the things that I have learned from those experiences and the people I met who have touched my life in a very special way. It has its own time, season and reason. We dont ask them to stay, we can only embrace it when it comes and be glad for a moment that we have shared our lives with them. Though, no matter how much we try to please them in the best way possible but we end up hurting them for the wrong reasons and end up looking back wonderful memories than making new ones. Its a cycle, it just goes on and on. Still, it wont stop me from thanking God. I will praise Him all the days of my life. It wont stop me from thanking him. Thanking Him for the blessing of new friends and new memories, for the memories to remember and to treasure. It comes to us but once and it takes a positive attitude to embrace all these complexities.

My head still aches.
And outside the rain falls like tears from heaven. Stll, I have thousands of reasons to praise God.

Reminder for the day....

Don't be afraid of disagreements or arguments, the only people who dont argue are the people who dont care or are dead. In fact, do have short arguments just make certain they are thoroughly over and done with.

hmmmmmmmm

I feel like writing here even when theres nothing to write about. I just needed the comfort of the keboard of this laptop im using coz somehow its telling me that I still have a sense of thinking things I ought not to think about. Hmmmm, even the title of this entry speaks of itself, theres nothing in particular. I just wanted to have finger exercise of maybe just something to get busy with . There a re so many things flooding on my mind drifting from here to nowhere and eventually I'd forget about the things as I lay down myself to sleep, or its worst if i'd wake up tomorrow and feel the same. I can hear the rhythym of the falling rain ouside and feeling every drop of sweat from my forehead and the sound of the electric fan chasing my sweat away but to no avail, well a few pingpong action gave a good reason for this sweating, not that I played that well but I picked the ball many times than hitting the ball properl, lol, reminding me that it was so long ago that I last played pingpong and somehow my muscles developed selective amnesia. Though Im considering of playing it with a sense of interest next time, the proper way to hold the racket and to hit the ball and so many other things.

Its not the words we pray matter...

its the condition of the heart.....

I had the chance to play the guitar today, I loved to play the good old songs I learned when i was in college and remembered the days when I first played it with so much passion that I learned to play it all by myself with the help of a chord chart and the overly motivating side comments of my mother, thanks to her I was motivated to learn a few chords to start my first song " Ang Huling Elmbimbo " by the eraser heads. Im a eheads fan, I loved their songs and many songs followed after that first song I learned.

Then, after playing a couple of songs, I felt pain with my left fingers, they were red and sure was not that used to playing the guitar that long. I enjoyed the music and went on with work. Then, the same fingers I use to pray for others.

When we fold our hands, the thumb is nearest us. So we begin by praying for those closest to us- our loved ones. ( Philippians 1:3-5)

The index finger is the pointer. We pray for those who teach- Bible teachers and preachers and those who teahc children ( 1 Thessalonians 5:25).

The next finger is the tallest. It reminds us to pray for those in authority over us- national and local leaders and our supervisor at work ( 1 timothy 2:1-2).

The fourth finger is usually the weakest. Pray for those who are in trouble or who are suffering ( James 5:13-16)

Then comes our little finger. It reminds us of ou smallness in relation to God's greatness. Ask Him to supply our needs ( Philippians 4:6,19).

Its was a reminder, those bruised fingers, its the best gift we can give to others, its something that money cant buy. When we pray for people we care about, even though they are far from us, miles away or have not seen them in years, it seems that we never really were apart from them for they are always remembered in our prayers.

Careless thinking.....

Im a careless person, Often, I do a lot of things that i should not do and more often I also fail to do the things that I ought to do. Like, Leaving my room key inside my room and ended up destroying the window just to get inside the room, which injured my right arm.

Well, its a win lose situation when we dont think carefully or act carefully, its always the same, even with words not thought of carefully could hurt or injure the hearts of other people. I always end up regretting things said because of no careful thinking, I hurt a friend many times because of tactlessness. I was also a victim of such carelessness. I got hurt so bad by someone a year ago, he accused me something that he said. it was so painfull I cant forget the very words he said. I have forgivien him but not yet forgotten. These wrong actions or irresponsible inactions can minor inconveniences or they can have serious lasting consequences.

Regrets, wrong words spoken, wrong actions and even not doing the right thing could mean a lot. God wants us to give careful thinking to our actions, words, and make decisions that bring glory to Him.

let us think about whats good

what's right and pure and true;

may God's word control our thoughts

in everything we do. - Fitshugh-
