The Season of Life

Life is like a farm.

The farmer has to wait for the time to sow

So, as life we wait patiently for the grace to come as we pray to bless us.

We sow the value of patience

Once the seeds are sown on fertile soil

The plants will grow

And abundantly yield good crops for harvesting

The life we have reflects on what we have sown

As we navigate life, do we have planted good deeds?

Have we looked at ourselves on how we utilize our lives?

Have we value our time while on earth?

Do we enjoy our lives?

Or do we put people around us miserable?

Are we grateful and thankful?

Do we spend valuable time with family?

Do we live with understanding harmony with each other?

Should our actions drawing towards God more and more closer to Him

Or is it leading us away from his divine teachings?

Reflecting how our day to day lives help us

To re-evaluate continuously staying the right path

If we fail, we forgive ourselves

Then start again

Remembering what we sow so as what we harvest

One Step at a Time

There might be times when you feel like the world is coming down, like everything seems to decide to happen at the same time. Your mind might become full of a multitude of thoughts, from the why did this happen to the what do I do?

These are the moments to remember that you have to keep moving forward, the moment to not give up and to take one step at a time. It might feel like it’s an impossible hurdle, but by taking one step at a time, even if small steps, you can move forward and eventually find  a way out of that situation.

If the road feels overwhelming, look for someone who can be your support. It can be your friend, family, significant other. A heavy load seems easier when someone can help you, even if the help is you to lend an ear to your problems. Don’t try to keep everything inside of yourself because eventually it will burst out destroying everything around it.

Never give up and keep moving forward. Always remember that there is light at the end of the tunnel. Face forward and find your happiness.

Panic in the Morning, The Missing Coffee

I woke up this weekend like any other day, wondering if I could stay in bed a little longer. But, nope, my body told me that it was time to get up and probably look for a good cup of coffee.

I slowly got up and started walking towards the kitchen, while thinking that maybe next time I could set up the coffee maker in the bedroom so that I could wake up to that awesome smell of coffee.

I made it to the kitchen and realized the coffee maker was not on, which was weird since it’s supposed to auto turn on every day. I shrugged and pressed the ON button, but nothing happened. My pulse quickened at that moment, and I started looking into what happened. Is there power working? Yes, it is. Is the coffee maker plugged in? Yes, it is. Is the coffee maker broken? GASP it is!

A wave of panic hit me, there is no way this is happening. How can I start my day without that wonderful drink that is called coffee? Should I risk it and drive to get one? I might not make it in on piece. What to do? Then I remembered that one time someone gave me instant coffee as a gift! Where is it? I searched and finally found it!

I eagerly open the container to only find out that it’s empty. Why? Then I remember all the times my good friend stopped by and said he only drinks instant coffee, so I used it on him. Yeah, he is not coming here again unless he brings his own coffee next time.

As panic started to grow, I remembered I could order some coffee to be delivered! I must pay a delivery fee, but it will be worth it! I place the order and start to wait.

It has been 25 minutes and 30 seconds and still waiting. Then I hear the doorbell, and I quickly go there. I open the door and see this wonderful person holding that wonderful drink. I get my coffee and close the door, hopefully I said thanks;  I can’t remember.

I sit down and take the fist sip. It’s a wonderful feeling! Everything will be ok now. As I continue to enjoy my coffee, I remember that I need to get a new coffee maker today to avoid the world ending tomorrow. I will do that, but first I will stay here and enjoy this wonderful cup of coffee.

Let Us Trust in the Way

As I am walking down a road of colorful rocks
I look at the sky and see a wonderful sight
Beautiful clouds of wonderful shapes all around,
covering that wonderful blue sky

I can feel a smile on my face, 
And how all my tiredness from the day is melting away
It is wonderful to look at the beauty of nature,
and how it is both simple and complex at the same time

It makes me wonder why we worry so much about things,
it makes me wonder why instead we don’t trust that all will be ok
I can feel that a big smile is still on my face,
I can feel that my stress is starting to melt away

I decide to pick up the pace and to try to forget my stress
Let’s try to keep living with a smile on my face,
Let’s try to move forward with happiness inside of myself
Let’s trust that everything will be ok

Gaming, is there an age for it?

Throughout the years there have been many activities that are believed to be part of a specific age group. Is this true? Or are these just opinions of people who have different ideas from each other?

Why must we limit ourselves to what we can or cannot do just because it should be an activity for a specific age group.

This brings us to the topic, the question of is there an age for gaming? The answer is a simple one. If the individual enjoys the activity and is not causing any problems to other people, or themselves, then then answer is to continue enjoying it.

Not only that, but some of the activities that supposedly are enjoyed by an older generation,  might have started when that generation was young, and as they grew older they brought that activity with them.

Continue doing the activity that brings a smile to your face, enjoyment and possible even a way to relax. Don’t let anyone say that gaming is for kids. Gaming is for everyone as long as it’s enjoyed by that person.

Actions Speak

Do things with courage when finding difficulties
then think of strategies to make it work

Be tenacious in what you believe is good, do it the right way
Be a starter and work hard so victory is yours

When failure arise know that it’s part of the process
there are always opportunities to succeed

Checking how our mindset is thinking, whether negative or positive
The positive gives you more to compel to take action
rather than being negative and inhibit you to do nothing at all
You might regret later

But having a mindset of I can do it
then the innovative mind has willingness to try once again
Maybe that is the day of success

Beautiful and Endless Sky

Beautiful sky that it’s always with me,
you never leave me alone, you never have forsaken me,
beautiful and endless sky, you are so full of hope for me.

Every day I wake up and look for your outside, 
you give me the strength to get up,
you give me the strength to never give up.

Whenever the day gets tough,
whenever I feel live giving up,
one glance at you and I know it will be ok.

I know that you have been there since the day I came,
I know that you will be with me until the day I leave,
my wonderful and endless sky, the one who gives me strength.

Lamp

God gives us the lamp
Our eyes are the lamp of our body and soul
Therefore, read and study what is pleasing to God

When it is pleasing to God, then it is food for our mind, body and soul
Let NOT the worldly desire fool you
Because these are just fleeting
But fill your eyes, mind and listen more of what God is teaching us

God wants us to be quick in listening and slow to anger.
God’s ways are divine and heavenly.
Then we can enjoy the heaven on earth

Use wisely the lamp we have.
Let this be the lamp that shines.
So, it could provide light that lead us on the right path as we all journey.

That Time of the Year

It’s that time of the year when we start to listen to the holiday music everywhere, that time when our wallets become lighter. This is a time when our spirits get a lift, a time when our hearts are joyous!

As we become wrap up in the holiday time, we must remember that it’s not about how much money we spend, or how many gifts we receive. Instead we should use the opportunity to review the year which end is approaching. A time to reflect, a time to let go of the past and move forward towards our future.

It’s a time when we should embrace our family and friends, a time to forgive and rebuild bridges, a time to fill ourselves with happiness. There is no better gift than the gift of forgiveness, no better gift that a smile. As you finish reading this piece, go and give a hug to a friend, smile at your neighbor, go and be happy and at peace!

Your Smile

You have a wonderful smile that lights up the room every time you come in.

I can feel your warmth, your kindness, your soul. You are a wonderful being that I was allowed to meet, such a wonderful moment that was meant to be.

There have been moments when it looks like I cannot keep going, but one look at your smile is all I need. I become ready to take all the world with you by my side.

I wish for this moment to keep going, for the happy times to continue. May your smile always brighten any place you go to, may your wonderful heart be filled with happiness.
