till the ocean turns to sand

It’s been a long time we’ve been together. Whoever you are, and wherever you are, I am glad to become a part of you.

 

Wherever you go, keep this poetry, as we journey towards eternity.

 

 

I know the roads to riches

You know the ways to powers

But we need not these things

To satisfy our spiritual beings

 

If you are facing tribulations

Cry out to God

It is the very best medicine

Freeing heart and soul from pain

 

Just rely on the Book of God

Coz it belongs to every person

Containing truth and revelation

Saving the people of a nation

 

There we find the righteousness, power

Justice and love of God our Father

The way, the truth, and the life

The one who can give us eternal life

 

No matter what you’ve done

You are a child of God

It’s not too late to begin anew

Today or maybe tomorrow

 

Keep on smiling

You and I hand in hand

Together we’ll be travelling

Till the ocean turns to sand

all for one

There are numerous creatures that we could find at the sea. But the only group that totally moved me is the penguins.

 

They journey together through thick and thin. When the strong cold winds hinder, they gather together, and stand closer with each other. These creatures have one heart that binds them forever.

 

Many today are suffering from homelessness, hunger, and sickness because of the trials of life. It is designed with a purpose. And that purpose is to test our hearts.

 

We are the greatest creatures ever made. If we forget our differences, and consider the sufferings of others, then, we deserve to be called “Servants of God”

 

Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

Hebrew 4:16

when the sun says “goodbye!”

It was late afternoon at home not long ago, when I noticed this unusual sunset that paints the sky with peace and harmony. What make it unusual are the grasses bowing down as the sun is saying goodbye. I could see the mixture of sadness and joys in their faces.

 

There is sadness because the light soon will pass away and darkness is coming on its way. But there are joys because no matter how dark it is, no worries, the Creator is taking good care of them always. 

 

 

The sun of our lives is our loved ones. They are created by God to show His love for you and I. But life is like a dust in the wind that sooner or later will fade away. We become like grasses filled with sadness and joys when one of the sun of our lives has to say goodbye. Sometimes we think it’s going to be the end of our world. But there is a reason to rejoice because the Lord is waiting for His children who know the Truth, and obeyed His will, at the final and most important home.

 

When the sun says goodbye, always remember that God cares forever.

real worship

There are times I worship the saints and angels of heaven. But at the end of the day, it leads me to questioning myself. Do I need to do it?

 

It was an evening of gladness when this question of mine has been answered surprisingly by an angel and a saint themselves.

 

 

Now I, John, saw and heard these things. And when I heard and saw, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel who showed me these things.

 

Then he said to me, “See that you do not do that. For I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren the prophets, and of those who keep the words of this book.

 

Worship God.”

 

Revelation 22:8-9

 

From now on, I too, will only worship God the Father, and God the Son, who are watching each and every one.

a guiding star

During my childhood years, watching the stars in heaven was a pleasure to me because I knew it was the hands of God that makes them shimmering in the evening. And then I asked myself, what is their purpose? I believe they don’t exist without a cause.

 

Going back to the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, there were Three Kings who were told to search for the Holy Child. They are the wise men who traveled a long distance and their brightest guide alone was a star, the star that leads them to their ultimate destination.

 

They will be forever an inspiration to me. The great wise kings with such humility in obeying the will of God. 

 

 

 Obedience — for the refuge and strength is God, and by following his will, He will pour his blessings to the one who is obedient.

 

Wisdom — a person is made to be wise. The very first source of Wisdom is by knowing that God who created each life holds the future. To be wise is to search for the truth that sets us free.

 

 Faithfulness — the impossible becomes possible only by putting our Faith in God. The greatest treasures our future generations could inherit are our Faithfulness, so that they may also live in a life of Hope, Peace, and Joy.

 

I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens and all their host have I commanded.

Isaiah 45:12

Now I found the answer to my question. The Stars are our Guidance as we travel together going to our ultimate destination.

amazing gift

Not long ago, a stranger old man knocked our door to ask for a large quantity of leaves from this plant. He often pays me for this. In his previous visit I gave it freely, but it was the last day I met him.

 

Somehow and sometimes I remember his strangeness. He looks actually an old man to anyone, but He is definitely healthy. I wander what made him strong like a young one. Then I remember his purpose of knocking our door. 

 

 

This friendly plant put a smile in my heart. It soothes my mind and strengthens my bones which makes me healthy all of the time. But to discover its goodness was only made possible by opening the door and welcoming the strange old man to our home.

 

The strange old man has given something back to me, none other than Wisdom. This plant is a gift, a primary source of Healthiness freely given by God in Heaven to his children. We have a land which is free, we have these plants which are also free, and if we seek for the purpose of their existence, we shall then grow healthily and wisely.

the fighting spirits

Life is a precious gift of Our Sovereign God. And because of this, each of us is responsible for taking care of life.

 

In our society, we have great instruments to save lives from the fires here on earth. They are the Courageous and God-Fearing Individuals whose main responsibility is to march into hell for a heavenly cause. They are the Firefighters.

 

Because of their fighting spirits that protects the lives of many—they will be treasured for eternity.

 

 

Greater love hath no man than this that a man lay down his life for his friends.

John 15:13

 

“Safety First” is Safety Always.

Charles M. Hayes

 

Firefighters save hearts and homes.

Author Unknown

 

Out of this nettle, danger, we pluck this flower, safety.

William Shakespeare

 

The hero is commonly the simplest and obscurest of men.

Henry David Thoreau

 

But sound aloud the praises, and give the victor-crown

To our noble-hearted Firemen, who fear not danger’s frown.

Frederic G.W. Fenn

 

Firemen never die, they just burn forever in the hearts of the people whose lives they saved.

Susan Diane Murphree

 

I have no ambition in this world but one, and that is to be a fireman.  The position may, in the eyes of some, appear to be a lowly one; but we who know the work which the fireman has to do believe that his is a noble calling.  Our proudest moment is to save lives.

Edward F. Croker

 

So as you look at the firefighter with his rake, hose or axe,

His beet red face or ice covered mustache,

You should know why he goes through that smoky front door,

And is forced to crawl like a baby down on the floor.

He does it to save both lives and property,

All that is precious to you and to me.

So take a good look at this modern warrior who serves his call proud and true,

And know that he would die just to save me and you.

Robert J. Athans

 

Then the houses and all possessions turned into ashes. But a mother was still smiling, for her little daughter was saved by an angel – a firefighter.

a new beginning

 

The year is almost over and gone, and another one is about to come. Counting the blessings and writing life’s lessons in our hearts and souls is the best thing we could do as we face a new tomorrow. New Year is for life’s new beginning.

 

Last Christmas my heart was filled with Joys by the children. They are the angels sent down to me, to show me how to live, and teach me how to give. In the eyes of a child which is the window to his soul, we can see light, and a variety of answers to the questions of our spiritual and moral being. This light is resulted from possessing Virtues. Virtues are the rays of the sun that gives light to every one.

 

 

Though years had gone away, but the golden days of our lives forever will stay. Those were the days that we had come to know the meaning and purpose of life. It is to seek for the Truth, Wisdom, and Righteousness.

 

I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

John 14:6

 

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom

Proverbs 1:7

 

But seek ye first the kingdom of GOD and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

Matthew 6:33

 

May the coming New Year, we will start the day with a smile. This smile symbolizes Courage and Strength as we face another year of our journey. Happy New Year…
