Message of Butterflies' Wings

Good morning friends. I just remember when I’m still young, I just love to see a butterfly specially when she is resting on a flower. I wonder how why she love to rest on it. I ran to the butterfly and try to catch it. The butterfly just flew away. It rested again on another flower. It is sucking the nectar of the flower. When I look at its pretty wings, it folds its wings when it rests. And it opens its wings when it flies. I asked myself why butterflies did that. There are times in our life we experience a situation even we don’t want, but in every situation God is always in our side and He will always care for us as we least expected.

At that point, I was pondering whether there was justice from heaven that allows such tragedies to happen. But, even in my desperation, I knew that i wanted to believe in God and His love. So prayer is the one that ease my feelings. I fervently prayed every day especially before I went to bed.

I asked for a sing with butterflies, although I hadn’t heard of butterflies signifying the soul or spirit. I sometimes even asked for specific colors—blue, yellow and green butterflies.

My agony of being alone without someone on my side just passed. I was very heartbroken, and remained under. I doubted now if I have really lost my faith in God had He not done so, but I am more certain at that point of His love.

I believe now that He loves me more than I do ever love myself. And I also know that He loves me for He answered my prayer in my hour of need. He ended my suffering for being heartbroken. And I’m really grateful for what He did. I praise Him so much. I love you God!

The Truth (1)

Good morning friends. Let me start to give you some thoughts of wisdom that I have read. “You may fool of the people some of the time; You can even fool some of the people all the time; but you can’t fool all the people all the time.”

They say, “The truth will make you free.” That’s right in many ways, but it is also true that the truth can get you into a lot of trouble. And it might even get you killed.

If you are suffering from some illness, then knowing the ugly truth can save your life. Hiding from it might end up hurting you badly. Keeping the truth about an affair from your beloved could go either way. Admit it now and face the music that could mean lots of trouble. Hide it and get away with it might give you a measure of peace. If and when, however, it is discovered later on, the consequences could be very dire. “How could you lie to me all this time?” she might say. “I didn’t want to hurt you,” you reply.

“You’re adding insult to injury and I can’t trust you anymore. I’m out of here,” she replies indignantly and is gone.

Truth can be a tricky matter. Sometimes it becomes a situation where you’re “damned if you do, and damned if you don’t.” Either way, the truth will hurt and you are faced with deciding what kind of hurt you are ready to accept. -Bob Garon

Social and Welfare Services

Most of the things done today by individuals, charitable societies or governments as social and welfare services have been done in the past in many societies. Closer to current times, poverty, child neglects, and other social ills were pioneers in many of today’s social and welfare services, although they too had called such services by various other names such as “organized charity,” or “philanthropic work”

Notably the newly independent and developing countries, have attempted to apply the term social services to those services, such as education and health, that are addressed to the general population and to apply the tem welfare services to services rendered to vulnerable groups – groups that are socially, economically, physically, or mentally handicapped or special groups would apply to those persons who because of the misfortunes of circumstances have tended to lag behind or fall by the wayside

Another classification of social and welfare services focuses on their remedial, preventive, and supportive roles. Remedial services express the basic humanitarian and social responsibility of society toward people in their need or distress. The y seek to meet the special needs of various sections of the population, such as the young, the old, the destitute, and the handicapped. Preventive services seek to lessen the stresses and strains of life resulting from social and technological changes. The try to provide built-in safeguards to meet the problems facing individuals and families, particularly in times of economic growth. If effective, they should reduce the need for more expensive remedial programs, Supportive services deal with educational programs, health services, population policies, manpower planning, employment and training, and community development projects.

TRUST WHO?

My heart pounds nowadays every time I hear my phone beep. I can’t help but think that there’s more bad news coming. You can’t blame me though, because a recent experience made me think of something that I have always taken for granted. I’ve always believed. I used to think that everyone else was just like me: carefree, unaffected and easily trusting. But my thoughts were proven wrong.

I hurriedly grabbed my phone. I was surprised to find out that it was one of my close friend. What was far more surprising was her message. It was short and simple. But its impact was huge. I nearly lost my balance when I red her text in bold letters: “I’M TWO MONTHS PREGNANT.” For a moment I was stunned. I was replying to the text message: What happened? Did you tell anyone else? All I got was a curt reply: “ NO ONE ELSE KNOWS. “ I felt bothered. I wanted to call her. But I didn’t know where to start. I have always perceived her as the shy-typed and probably now ashamed to admit her condition. I’m quite surprised that she told me, but somewhat relieved. At least she trusted me. So I promised to never let her down.

Sometimes the world can be so indifferent. People can be so immature. Sharing a part of yourself with others can be hard. Looking for that elusive trustworthy someone then becomes a quest. I have never put much thought on this matter, until I realized that trusting isn’t easy at all. But do people today still have their own confidantes whom they can turn to in times of troubles? Or do they just keep it all to themselves? I had to convinced. So I made my own little survey. I tried to find out whom people trust and the reasons why they do so. Out of 100 respondents, my survey says: “ MOTHERS KNOW BEST. “
