WOOF! WOOF! WOOF!....SHHHHH....



Dogs have body clock. When it’s eating time, one starts barking non-stop, others will follow and they sometimes don’t listen to their owners. They only stop when food is served. 

This is the same problem in today’s world. It’s too noisy, most people never listen and they never stop until they get what they want even to the inconvenience of others. 

Moral values, generosity, love, patience, piety, etc. go through a needle’s hole before reaching the hearts. People are too busy this days and most have no time to pause and be quiet for a little while.

But pausing is really important. The busier we are, the more we need pauses and silence in our life. Why? Because too much noise can drain us, can drown us and can cloud our mind. The danger with this is our focus can turn to ourselves. Without us noticing it, our world may be already filled with "I," "Me," and "Myself."

Quiet times help us keep focus on the divine and listen to His voice.

Hopefully, we can allow ourselves to gradually change and treat ourselves with silennce from time to time that we can wait on God, our divine Owner and listen more to Him. 

Have a Pure Heart!

WHEN I HEAR YOUR VOICE...



Dearest Jesus,
I am Your sheep and You are my Good Shepherd.
You take care of me and You love me so.
You know me and I know You.
Dear Lord,
When I get so absorbed with the beauty of the green pasture,
Or when I so enjoy the water of the stream,
Or when I wonder off and get lost,
Let it be, that when I hear Your gentle loving voice
When You call me,
I turn my head to Your direction
And follow You without delay.
Let it be my dear Shepherd
That I turn my head in a swift
And rest my loving gaze upon You…

Have a Gentle Soul!

ROAD TRIP EXPERT


Inspiration: John 16:12-15

One thing I learned in browsing on videos that could help me learn more about our business is:

There are lots of ways, tips, guidelines, and seminars done by experts. There are mentors I can ask. Nadaanan na nila (They had passed) the road I’m travelling now. All I have to do is magsipag (be industrious), listen and learn from them to avoid many mistakes and to equip me…to equip me…to persevere and not quit...

The same thing goes in real life. Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to reveal the truth about God and about life. He guides us to the road that leads to truth and along that road, He uses road signs to help us: the Scriptures, lives of saints, inspired books, situations, lives of people like us, the teachings of the Church, and more…

Kaya lang madalas (But most often) we miss the road signs kaya naliligaw tayo (that's why we get lost), nahihirapan (find it hard), nadedelay (get delayed) in our travel.

Hey! Let’s give the Holy Spirit our full attention, wherever He is leading us, it’s 101% sure na makabubuti sa atin (that it's good for us), sa ating buhay (our lives), and sa ibang tao (other people)…and it’s always leading us closer to God…
 
Have a Marvelous Road Trip!
