Don't Give Up

Don't give up.....

One day I decided to quit...
I quit my job, my relationship, my spirituality... I wanted to quit my life.
I went to the woods to have one last talk with God.
"God", I asked, "Can you give me one good reason not to quit?"
His answer surprised me...
"Look around", He said. "Do you see the fern and the bamboo?"
"Yes", I replied.
"When I planted the fern and the bamboo seeds, I to ok very good care of them.
I gave them light.
I gave them water.
The fern quickly grew from the earth.
Its brilliant green covered the floor.
Yet nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo.
In the second year the Fern grew more vibrant and plentiful.
A nd again, nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo. He said.
"In year three there was still nothing from the bamboo seed.
But I would not quit.
In year four, again, there was nothing from the bamboo seed. I would
not quit." He said.
"Then in the fifth year a tiny sprout emerged from the earth. Compared
to the fern it was seemingly small and insignificant...But just 6
months later the bamboo rose to over 100 feet tall.
It had spent the five years growing roots. Those roots made it strong and gave it what it needed to survive.
I would not give any of my creations a challenge it could not handle."
He asked me. "Did you know, my child, that all this time you have been struggling, you have actually been growing roots".
"I would not quit on the bamboo.
I will never quit on you."
"Don't compare yourself to others."
He said.
"The bamboo had a different Purpose than the fern.
Yet they both make the forest beautiful."
"Your time will come", God said to me.
"You will rise high"
"How high should I rise?"
I asked.
"How high will the bamboo rise?" He asked in return.
" A s high as it can?" I questioned.
"Yes." He said, "Give me glory by rising as high as you can."
I left the forest and brought back this story.
I hope these words can help you see that God will never give up on you.
Never, Never, Never Give up.
For the Chris tian Prayer is not an option but an opportunity.
Don't tell the Lord how big the problem is,
tell the problem how Great the Lord is!

THE WOODEN BOWL

A frail old man went to live with his son, daughter-in-law, and a four year
old grandson.The old man's hands trembled, his eyesight blurred, and his
step faltered.The family ate together at the table.But the elderly
grandfather's shaky hands and failing eyesight made eating difficulty.Peas
rolled off his spoon onto the floor.When he grasped the glass, milk spilled
on the tablecloth.

The son and daughter-in-law became irritated with the mess," we must do
something about grandfather " said the son." I've had enough of his spilled
milk, noisy eating, and food on the floor." So the husband and wife set a
small table in the corner.There, grandfather ate alone while the rest of
the family enjoyed their dinners together.

Since grandfather had broken a dish or two, his food was served in a wooden
bowl.When the family glanced in grandfather's direction, sometimes he had a
tear in his eye as he sat alone. Still, the only words the couple had for
him were sharp admonitions when he dropped a fork or spilled food.

The four-year-old watched it all in silence. One evening before supper, the
father noticed his son playing with wood scraps on the floor. He asked the
child sweetly, "what are you making?" Just as sweetly, the boy responded,
"oh, i am making a little bowl for you and mama to eat your food in when
you get old," the four-year-old smiled and went back to work.

The words so struck the parents that they were speechless. Then tears
started to stream down their cheeks. Though no words were spoken, both knew
what must be done. That evening the husband took grandfather's hand and
gently led him to the family table. For the remaining of his days he ate
every meal with the family. And for some reason, neither husband nor wife
seemed to care any longer when a fork dropped, milk spilled, or the
tablecloth soiled.

LESSONS LEARNED: Regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll
MISS them when they're gone from your life. Life sometimes gives you a
second chance.

Children's eyes observed more than their ears ever hear and the examples we
set for them determines their actions.

Look at your Life Again

What a difference a sad event in someone's life makes.

GEORGE CARLIN


Isn't it amazing that George Carlin - comedian of the 70's and 80's - could write something so very eloquent...and so very appropriate.

A Message by George Carlin:

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways , but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.

We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.

We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.

We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things.

We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete...

Remember; spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever.

Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.

Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.

Remember, to say, "I love you" to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.

Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again.

Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

one day isang araw ni inday

It was jazz an ordinary day.

The skies were clear, the birds were chipping. Ang ganda-ganda ng araw!

Nasa SM ako noon at katatapos ko lang mamili ng groceries. Timing naman nasa foodcore si Angel Locsin, nagpro-provoke ng movie nya. Grabe, andaming fans,pull-packed talaga! Dahil fans nya rin ako, nakipila rin ako.

Then suddenly, out of the loo, may bumulong sa akin ng: "Indaaaayyyy. ....."

Huh? It sounded like a familiar sound. Who can it be now?

"Dodong!" sigaw ko.


Napalakas yata voice ko. Kasi the other fans turned their backs to their behind at napatingin sa amin. Sabi ko "Sorry, I didn't mean to be loud and proud." Hinawakan na lang ni Dodong ang kamay ko at lumayo kami from the crowd.

"Kamusta na Inday? Do you come here open? tanong nya.

"Bihira lang, Dodong. I'm just droppings by. Ethnic and schedule ko eh" sabi ko.

Memories came flushing in my mind. How can I forget to remember Dodong? Siya na may mata ni Piolo, dimple ni Aga, at bigote ni Rex Cortez. he's every woman's dreamboat. I was just starting my tour of duty kay ate noon nang unang makilala ko si Dodong. Contraction worker siya sa ginagawang bahay sa tapat namin. Naging kami for a while then after that were not an item anymore.

"Tanghali na Inday. What did you say we have lunch together?" tanong ni Dodong. "I don't mine" sagot ko.

Sa restaurant, nilapitan kaagad kami ng waiter. "What's your odor sir?" sabi nung waiter kay Dodong.

"Do you have porkshop?" tanong ni Dodong.

"Yes sir" sabi nito. "Our porkshop with a resistance to the teeth of boast of our chef. Domestic careful selection of pork with little fat of female liking is used. The exquisite cooking which repeated trial and error and was completed. it also has healthy vegetables with salad feeling fully" dagdag niya.

"And you mam?" sabay tingin naman sa akin.

Hmmm... mukhang masarap yung porkshop. Pero I'm cutting down on my carbon kaya pinigilan ko.

"I'll just have water, thanks. Liquidate diet ako eh." sagot ko.

Pagkatapos kumain, nagyaya si Dodong manood ng sine. Teka teka, this is going too far. Besides, it's a long, long way to run.


"Reality chess, Dodong. May asawa na ako, si Jay. As a mother of fact, I'm happily married" pagmamalaki ko.

"Di na pwede yung tulad ng dati. Sorry pero I didn't expect you still have more feelings than I expected. i don't want you getting the way. Past is fast. Therefore, cause and defect." dagdag ko pa.

Tumahimik sya. Parang may language barrel na namagitan sa amin. The seconds that passed seemed like fraternity. Di nagla-on, nagsalita na rin sya.

"I don't care less!" sigaw ni Dodong.

Shocks, give me a brake! The nerd ng taong ito para sigawan ako! To think it's his other woman that caused our separation to part.

Kinabahan na ako. I felt speedbumps all over my body and was having panic attach. Tinalikuran ko siya at nagmadali akong lumakad palayo. Pero sumunod pa rin siya like a monkey on my butt. Hanggang sa makakita ako ng security guard. Biglang nawala si Dodong.

"Excuse me kuya, pwedeng magtanong?" sabi ko sa mamang guard.

"Of course miss, I can help you with my pleasure." sagot niya.

"Saan po ba ang exit? Could you point me to the right erection? I got lost in my eyes."

"Diretso lang." sabi niya. "Then turn right anytime with care."

"Thanks for your corporation" sabi ko.

Buti na lang nandun si kuya. Pero saglit lang, I smell something peachy. As I turned, nakita ko na namang nakasunod si Dodong! Delaying static lang pala kanina ang pag disappear nya.


"Nyahahaha! You can run but you can hide, Inday. No matter where you go, there you are!" pananakot nya.

Oh no, is this the end? This is too much, I feel degradable. My world started falling afar.

Then suddenly, Jay come from behind! Dodong was caught to the act! In the matter of minute, it's all over. I'm out of arm's way.

"Thanks Jay, my love. But how did you?" bago pa man ako matapos, sabi niya:

"I was in the neighborhood. Fans din ako ni Angel eh. I heard you shout but at first I didn't give it a thought. Pero nang makita ko kayong magkahawak ng holding hands, then i give it a thought. I know something is a missed."


From then on, Dodong did not brother me again. In fact, he didn't even sister me. As in platonic at wala na talaga.

Pero kami ni Jay, heto, shoot sailing pa rin ang relationship. Lalo pa ngayon, open na kami sa isa't-isa at walang exhibitions. i feel I'm on cloud.

ABOUT TEARS!!!!

Interesting piece of information. ..

"There was a study done where a control group of 100 people were divided into two.

50 people watched a very funny & tears-of laughter type movie.

50 watched a very sad and tears of compassion type movie.

At the end of the sessions researchers collected the "happy tears" and the "sad tears" with eye droppers.

They found that "happy tears" are made up of brine...salt water and not a great deal else.

However the "sad tears" were found to contain the very same chemicals and enzymes that are found in tumors, ulcers and other such lumps and bumps and sicknesses through out the body.

This test concluded that the body, when crying in sadness etc is literally flushing out all of the toxic-chemicals that accumulate and are a part of the sadness /heart ache experience.

Therefore if one holds back those tears, those toxic-waters will find somewhere else to deposit themselves.. . And prolonged lack-of-crying- release will guarantee that the body will accumulate a huge amount of internal pollution and toxicity that should have been released through the tears....... .is it any wonder that the eyes sting so much when we hold back our tears?"


LESSON FROM THE STUDY: CRY YOUR HEART OUT WHEN YOU ARE SAD, LONELY, ALONE, DEPRESSED, ETC..... IT IS GOOD FOR YOUR HEALTH!

MARRIAGE

When I got home that night as my wife served dinner, I held her hand and said, I've got something to tell you. She sat down and ate quietly. Again I observed the hurt in her eyes.

Suddenly I didn't know how to open my mouth. But I had to let her know what I was thinking. I want a divorce. I raised the topic calmly.

She didn't seem to be annoyed by my words, instead she asked me softly, why? I avoided her question. This made her angry. She threw away the chopsticks and shouted at me, you are not a man! That night, we didn't talk to each other. She was weeping. I knew she wanted to find out what had happened to our marriage. But I could hardly give her a satisfactory answer; she had lost my heart to Dew. I didn't love her anymore. I just pitied her!

With a deep sense of guilt, I drafted a divorce agreement which stated that she could own our house, our car, and 30% stake of my company.

She glanced at it and then tore it into pieces. The woman who had spent ten years of her life with me had become a stranger. I felt sorry for her wasted time, resources and energy but I could not take back what I had said for I loved Dew so dearly. Finally she cried loudly in front of me, which was what I had expected to see. To me her cry was actually a kind of release. The idea of divorce which had obsessed me for several weeks seemed to be firmer and clearer now.

The next day, I came back home very late and found her writing something at the table. I didn't have supper but went straight to sleep and fell asleep very fast because I was tired after an eventful day with Dew.

When I woke up, she was still there at the table writing. I just did not care so I turned over and was asleep again.

In the morning she presented her divorce conditions: she didn't want anything from me, but needed a month's notice before the divorce. She requested that in that one month we both struggle to live as normal a life as possible. Her reasons were simple: our son had his exams in a
month's time and she didn't want to disrupt him with our broken marriage.

This was agreeable to me. But she had something more, she asked me to recall how I had carried her into out bridal room on our wedding day.

She requested that everyday for the month's duration I carry her out of our bedroom to the front door ever morning. I thought she was going crazy. Just to make our last days together bearable I accepted her odd request.

I told Dew about my wife's divorce conditions. She laughed loudly and thought it was absurd. No matter what tricks she applies, she has to face the divorce, she said scornfully.

My wife and I hadn't had any body contact since my divorce intention was explicitly expressed. So when I carried her out on the first day, we both appeared clumsy. Our son clapped behind us, daddy is holding mummy in his arms. His words brought me a sense of pain. From the bedroom to the sitting room, then to the door, I walked over ten meters with her in my arms. She closed her eyes and said softly; don't tell our son about the divorce. I nodded, feeling somewhat upset. I put her down outside the door. She went to wait for the bus to work. I drove alone to the office.

On the second day, both of us acted much more easily. She leaned on my chest. I could smell the fragrance of her blouse. I realized that I hadn't looked at this woman carefully for a long time. I realized she was not young any more. There were fine wrinkles on her face, her hair was graying! Our marriage had taken its toll on her. For a minute I wondered what I had done to her.

On the fourth day, when I lifted her up, I felt a sense of intimacy returning. This was the woman who had given ten years of her life to me.

On the fifth and sixth day, I realized that our sense of intimacy was growing again. I didn't tell Dew about this. It became easier to carry her as the month slipped by. Perhaps the everyday
workout made me stronger.

She was choosing what to wear one morning. She tried on quite a few dresses but could not find a suitable one. Then she sighed, all my dresses have grown bigger. I suddenly realized that she had grown so thin, that was the reason why I could carry her more easily.

Suddenly it hit me... she had buried so much pain and bitterness in her heart. Subconsciously I reached out and touched her head.

Our son came in at the moment and said, Dad, it's time to carry mum out. To him, seeing his father carrying his mother out had become an essential part of his life. My wife gestured to our son to come closer and hugged him tightly. I turned my face away because I was afraid I might change my mind at this last minute. I then held her in my arms, walking from the bedroom, through the sitting room, to the hallway. Her hand surrounded my neck softly and naturally. I held her body tightly; it was just like our wedding day.

But her much lighter weight made me sad. On the last day, when I held her in my arms I could hardly move a step. Our son had gone to school. I held her tightly and said, I hadn't noticed that our life lacked intimacy.

I drove to office... jumped out of the car swiftly without locking the door. I was afraid any delay would make me change my mind... I walked upstairs. Dew opened the door and I said to her, Sorry, Dew, I do not want the divorce anymore.

She looked at me, astonished, and then touched my forehead. Do you have a fever? She said. I moved her hand off my head. Sorry, Dew, I said, I won't divorce. My marriage life was boring probably because she and I didn't value the details of our lives, not because we didn't love each other any more. Now I realize that since I carried her into my home on our wedding day I am supposed to hold her until death do us apart.

Dew seemed to suddenly wake up. She gave me a loud slap and then slammed the door and burst into tears. I walked downstairs and drove away.

At the floral shop on the way, I ordered a bouquet of flowers for my wife. The salesgirl asked me what to write on the card. I smiled and wrote, I'll carry you out every morning until death do us apart.

The small details of your lives are what really matter in a relationship. It is not the mansion, the car, property, the money in the bank, blah..blah..blah. These create an environment conducive for happiness but cannot give happiness in themselves. So find time to be your spouse's friend and do those little things for each other that build intimacy. Do have a real happy marriage!

If you don't share this, nothing will happen to you.

If you do, you just might save a marriage.

Political Faith

Politicians have a constant need to be diplomatic. Witness this candidate for the Senate who traveled to a small town community to address the single church there. Unfortunately, he had forgotten to ask which denomination so that when it was time for his speech, he inquired in this way:

My brethren, all. I must tell you that my great Grandfather was Presbyterian (absolute silence); but my Grandmother was an Episcopalian (more silence); I must tell you that my other Grandfather was a Catholic (deep silence); while my other Grandmother was Methodist (continued silence).

But I must tell you that I had an aunt who was a Baptist (loud cheers!) ...and I have always considered my aunt's path to be the right one!" HEhehe.

A politician always a politician! Liar

Who is Jesus?

In chemistry, He turned water to wine.

In biology, He was born without the normal conception;

In physics, He disapproved the law of gravity when He
ascended into heaven;

In economics, He disapproved the law of diminishing
return by feeding 5000 men with two fishes & 5 loaves
of bread;

In medicine, He cured the sick and the blind without
administering a single dose of drug,

In history, He is the beginning and the end;

In government, He said that he shall be called Wonderful
Counselor, Prince of Peace;

In religion, He said no one comes to the Father except
through him;

So... Who is He? He is Jesus!

Join me and let's celebrate him; He is worthy.

The eyes beholding this message shall not behold evil, and the mouth
saying amen to this prayer shall smile forever.
Remain in God and seek His face always. Amen!

In God I've found everything!

The Greatest Man in History

Jesus had no servants, yet they called Him Master.

Had no degree, yet they called Him Teacher.

Had no medicines, yet they called Him Healer.

He had no army, yet kings feared Him.

He won no military battles, yet He conquered the world.

He committed no crime, yet they crucified Him.

He was buried in a tomb, yet He lives today.

I feel honored to serve such a Leader who loves us!

Kindly pass this to all your buddy list.

Snake Bite at the Zoo? Ark of Avilon Zoo at Fontera Verde (near Tiendesitas)

Friends,

KINDLY PASS THIS STORY TO YOUR FRIENDS...

My Family and I visited the new Arc of Avilon (AoA)
Zoo located at Frontera Verde near Tiendesitas in
Pasig last January 5, 2008. The highlight of the said
zoo is they allow people especially kids to touch
their animals like orangutan, parrots, eagles,
rabbits, tortoise and snakes.

And when you allow your kids to touch these animals,
you trust that the animals are harmless and are
trained not to hurt its visitors.

Unfortunately, my 2nd daughter was bitten by an Albino
King Snake. Her finger was bleeding so I quickly ask
where the clinic was located. I saw a sign that read
Hospital/Quarantine , I quickly open the door but found
nothing inside but some cages and two people talking.
I ask if there's a doctor there and they said none.
Then the king snake handler came over and directed us
to follow him. I thought we would be brought to a
clinic. To my dismay, we were brought to a dirty
pantry full of flies. And the handler administered
Betadine to my daughter's finger, which was stored in
a soy sauce gallon container. A park with no clinic,
no doctor and no medicine.

I took my daughter to the hospital, and upon reaching
the hospital the first question was what kind of snake
bit my daughter. I told them its an Albino King
Snake. They were not sure whether the king snake is a
venomous or a non-venomous snake. They said they had
to consult an expert about this. After awhile, Thank
God that the king snake was a non-venomous one. But
the doctors wanted to be sure so they gave my daughter
an anti-tetanus drug and ask her to take anti-biotics
for seven days.

After reaching home, I texted both Jake and Tina Gaw
(owners of AoA) that the doctor asked us to observe my
daughters condition. I also told them that I am going
to write about this horrible experience. Tina texted
back and said: "Jerry, if thats how bad you felt, I
respect your personal feelings concerning the
incident. I wish she (my daughter) could have been
more careful in handling the snake or other pets as
well especially this one is exotic. Even tame ones,
rabbit, tortoise, mouse, pig bite when they felt hurt
or frighten when not properly handled. And its really
sad when you felt it became a horrible issue."

First of all, that was a very insensitive remark from
AoA, blaming my daughter for the incident. Being
bitten by a snake is not only horrible but a traumatic
one as well. What are the chances that you will get
bitten by a snake in the metropolis? Worst in a theme
park like Arc of Avilon.

If AoA is saying that there is always a possibility
that visitors will be bitten everytime animals are
mishandled, then do not allow the animals to be
touched at all. Its bad enough that the animals were
taken out of their natural habitat. I don't think
the snake was hurt or frighten, they were tired and
irritated because the animals were being used to
entertain people.

Visitors are not trained to handle animals properly
especially kids. Let me remind AoA that most of your
visitors are children, I even saw some as young as two
years old. They will just touch and play with the
animals without knowing whether they're hurting them
or not. It is AoA's responsibility to make sure that
none of their animals be hurt or frighten so that
biting won't happen.

And since accidents happen, how come AoA doesn't even
have a clinic to at least administer first-aid. What
if the eagles decided to peck the visitors, or use
their big claws to attack the children. Donkey or
horse suddenly kicking. And snakes biting. There
shoud be a doctor, a clinic and first-aid kit to
address this kind of unfortunate incidents. AoA
should not allow people to touch a snake that bites
plus they should have expert handlers to assist its
visitors. What if the snake turns out to be venomous
and something happen to my daughter? How would AoA
deal with that?

Arc of Avilon management should take full
responsiblity and not just say that the snake is a
non-venomous one. No other help was offered, and then
they will blame the visitors for mishandling the
animals.

Am I over reacting? I don't think so. As a parent,
will you take it sitting down? Will you just take
their word for it that it's non-venomous? Remember,
its a snake-bite. Let this be a warning to all my
readers who are planning to visit Arc of Avilon at
Tiendesitas or any other zoo for that matter.

Let my story be a lesson to all. You can ask your
kids to look but as much as possible DO NOT TOUCH.
Better yet, DO NOT VISIT the Arc of Avilon totally,
until They've improve their facilities.

To the management of Arc of Avilon, put your visitors
safety first before anything else. We visit your zoo
trusting that you care for us and you know what you're
doing. What happen was a nightmare. Not only did my
daughter got bitten by a snake, she was even blamed by
inconsiderate owners. I am just curious, if the
management of Arc of Avilon treat their visitors like
the way they treated us, I wonder how they treat
their animals inside their zoo.

Never will we go to the Arc of Avilon again. NEVER
AGAIN.

Thank you and more power. God Bless us all!

To a Loving Wife
------------------

A couple from North Alabama decided to go to Florida for a long
weekend to thaw out during one particularly icy winter. Because both
had jobs, they had difficulty coordinating their travel schedules. It
was decided that the husband would fly to Florida on a Thursday, and
his wife would follow him the next day.

Upon arriving as planned, the husband checked into the hotel. There he
decided to open his laptop and send his wife a e-mail back in North
Alabama. However, he accidentally left off one letter in her address,
and sent the e-mail without realizing his error.

In Houston, a widow had just returned from her husband's funeral. He
was a minister of many years who had been 'called home to glory'
following a heart attack. The widow checked her e-mail, expecting
messages from relatives and friends. Upon reading the first message,
she fainted and fell to the floor.

The widow's son rushed into the room, found his mother on the floor,
and saw the computer screen which read:

To: My Loving Wife
From: Your Departed Husband
Subject: I've Arrived!

I've just arrived and have been checked in. I see that everything has
been prepared for your arrival tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing you
then! Hope your journey is as uneventful as mine was.

PS. Sure is hot down here.
