Always Moving Forward

During these hard times sometimes it becomes hard knowing what to do. We feel overwhelmed with all the information coming at us, coming from the left or coming from the right.


Do we find a corner to hide and cry? No, this is the time to gather our courage, to move forward and not to give up. We must find the inner strength and push forward, overcome any negative thoughts that gather around us. Thinking positive is as important as being positive. You cannot have one if you do not have the other one.


It is ok to remember that we do not have to do everything alone. If we need help, we have reach for our friends and family, the people who are important to us and who can give us the push that we need to be able to move forward.


Always remember that whenever there is a storm there would always come peace afterwards. Always look for the light at the end of the tunnel, always strive to move forward, never stop and look back, never let the past control your future.


Be sure to find the positive even in adversity. It is not easy to do, but by acquiring this skill we will be able to navigate through anything. We will be able to always move forwards.


Never stop moving, always keep moving forward and eventually you will reach your destination. Enjoy your life and become someone who can give happiness to others with your presence

Angels

On the first Friday of October 2020. I went to church and this day was designated as the memorial of the Holy Guardian Angels.
The church was a Catholic Community and School. I was glad to arrive early. The students had their Friday mass. Being on 50 % capacity limitation of seating, it was more exclusive for the students and staffs. When I checked inside the church all the seats were occupied with social distancing observed. I stepped out and stayed in the narthex. There were benches that I could sit on. I sat on one of the benches located by the big post and behind it was another bench. Before the mass began, there was a lady sitting on the bench behind me. She was leaning and stooping. She had her mask hanging on one ear as if she was trying to get more air. When I saw her, I asked her if she was okay? She replied that she was alright. There were colleagues that came to check on her.
On the other hand, while the mass was ongoing, I heard the front door tried to be opened by 2 gentlemen. So, I asked the one of the staffs which were helping the lady if I should open the door for the 2 men wanted to get in the church. But they advised no due to capacity was met already.
The lady was taken to the school office and one of the staffs asked me that when she came back to open the front door for her as she just needed to go to the school office.
While the mass was in progress the priest had homily about the “Holy Angles”. He admonished that we never be alone. Angles were all around us. Then I saw a teacher and a student that went to the narthex area. I thought that the student was accompanied by teacher to go to the restroom. But then I realized that she was sitting on a bench. On the second time, the staff asked me to open the front door for her as she needed to get a cold pack for the student.
At this point, it was already communion time. I checked on the student if she was okay, but she stated that she was not feeling good. She was young and about 7 or 8 grade. She was so pale. I was thinking of taking communion first, but I changed my mind instead, I went back to her and took another bench put together to another bench. I let the student lie down on the bench so that blood flow will flow into her head. Advised her to take some deep breaths. Her legs were massaged especially the calves muscle. After a while she looked better. She had better color in her face. The staff came back and helped her wheeled to the school. Student’s mom was notified and was on her way to get her.
Then, I pondered about the homily of the priest that angles were everywhere. You can be the angel to others. God sends angel to be on our side at any time.

Morning

Birds singing in the wind
Sun greeting me with peace
Daily you smile at me
Daily with you I meet

My friend you have always been
A cup of coffee we always share
Smiles and tears you have seen
Together we will always be

To move forward you tell me
Never give up you say
No matter what hardships come
Always with me you will be
