Beloved Mother

“I love you, Mother,”
“I love you better than a tongue can tell,”
“I miss you.”

Power Up

Good news is always welcome news. Every bit of good news, no matter how seemingly trivial in the larger order of things it may see, is literally a breath of fresh air. That is why we become ecstatic about every small triumph that we learn about, even if they involve people whom we do not personally know, situations we ourselves have not yet experienced, and places we have yet to visit.
We become optimistic about any scientific breakthrough with its promise of a better life that is hopefully in harmony with nature. We feel proud when we hear of everyday people returning to authority large sums of money and saying that no matter how tempting the find is, they simply could not keep what’s not theirs.

We become thankful to public servants who stay true to the cause not to gain media mileage but to carry out their sworn duty. We are as jubilant as every single Filipino who surpassed seemingly insurmountable odds—surviving life-threatening diseases and or calamities, and reforming their lives and improving on what used to be a way ward existence.

Hearing good news can recharge our “batteries.” Like a holiday, it can relax the mind and relieve stress. Good news always brings a smile to our faces. It brings hope that no matter how bad things are, they won’t stay that way. Well, they could take a turn for the worse, but then all things pass. We must have a firm resolve that we can prevail on it all. – Bato Balani

May the Lord make your Love for one
another and for all people grow more and

more and become as great as our Love for
you. In this way he will strengthen you,
and you will be perfect and holy in the
presence of our God and Father when our

Lord Jesus comes with all who belong to him.

1 Thessalonians 3:12

Thank You, Lord

Thank you; Lord, for my parents dear
For all my loved ones far and near;
Thank you for my brothers and sisters
And for all the help I get from others;
For my country, Lord, I thank you, too.
And for my friends all tried and true; of the sun
And thank you, Lord, for the heat
For the light of the moon, for all the fun;
For all the beautiful things around me
The mountains, rivers, birds, the sights I see;
And above all, Lord, for Your life which You gave
For the pain You endured that all may be saved.

I was reading this poem about thanking the Lord. It was a nice words to feel. My thought of sharing this with you is to be aware that we should all thank our God for the graces He gave us. He don’t get tired of giving us all the blessings we receive. All we have to do is just say a simple word . . . “Thank you, Lord”.
