Live life to the fullest

-
Today is March 9, at 3:00 this afternoon it’s exactly 7 years since i’ve escaped death from a car accident. From march 2002 and until now i have to deal everyday on the emotional pain, physical difficulties and depression brought about by this accident. I was deprived with so many things and opportunities because of what happened to me. That’s because i’m now partially disabled, struggling everyday to bear the physical pain caused by wearing prosthesis leg.
 

But in spite of the hardships and trials that came my way i’m still thankful to God for giving me another chance to live. Another chance to be with my kids, to grow old with them, to enjoy and cherish every moments with them, and to be their guide and comfort every single day.
As i ponder on the death of Francis Magalona who died at 44 and when i almost died at the age of 31, am i right to think that life is indeed too short? That any moment we could all die in a way that we do not know. Francis was diagnosed with leukemia just 7 or 8 months ago, i was on my way home after work when the fatal accident happened. Death strikes anytime, anywhere, in any way, so every moment of our lives, every single day isn’t it right to live life to the fullest?

Yes, life is relatively short. That is why we should always be prepared for any eventuality. That is the reason why we should accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and savior so that we can be assured of eternal life after our death. Thanks for the post. God bless you all always.

S.M.A.R.T way to start The New Year!

-
The righteous keep moving forward... and... become stronger.Job 17:9 Whoever said, "Procrastination is the thief of time," was right. We keep postponing, promising ourselves we'll do better. Be honest, how many of last year's resolutions did you keep? This year do things differently. Make your goals S.M.A.R.T. In other words, make them: (S)pecific: Get up earlier in order to read your Bible and pray before going to work. Make time for your family. Exercise. Eat right. Take care of your body; it's God's temple (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). (M)oderate: tackling more than one project at a time dilutes your focus and makes it harder to stick with. When you start too much you finish too little. Start small and build on your successes by mastering and maintaining one thing at a time. (A)chievable: don't try to swallow the whole elephant in one bite. Baby steps are the name of the game. Paul said, "One thing I do" (Philp 3:13 NKJV). Talk in terms of what you...

What are You doing, God?

Just wanna share with you guys... A man who had been shipwrecked was living alone on a desert island. He had finally built himself a little refuge out of palm branches that would shelter him from the sun and the rain. That night his hut caught fire and burned to the ground. "What are You doing, God?" he cried. "I have so little left in life, and yet You let my house burn down. How could You let this happen to me? "A few hours later a ship came and picked him up. "We saw your fire signal," the crew said. "We didn't realize these were inhabited islands. We'll take you home. "The man closed his eyes in embarrassment. "Uh, thank You, God," he said finally. If you are going through some tough times.. and it is so hard to understand what God is up to.. hang on... God knows what He is doing... He cares for you.. and He is in control.. His ways are higher than our ways. Trust Him.

The Potter and The Clay

Imagine a beautiful china teacup saying: "I wasn't always like this. There was a time when I was just a cold, hard, colourless lump of clay. One day the potter picked me up and said, 'I could do something with this.' Then he started to put pressure on me and change my shape. I said, 'What are you doing? That hurts. Stop!' But he said, 'Not yet.' Then he put me on a wheel and began to spin me around and around until I shouted, 'Let me off.' He replied, 'Not yet.' Then he shaped me into a cup and put me in a hot oven. I cried, 'Let me out of here. I'm suffocating.' But he looked at me and said, 'Not yet.' When he took me out, I thought his work on me was over, but then he started to paint me. I couldn't believe what he did next. He put me back into the oven, and I said, 'I can't stand this, please let me out!' But he said, 'Not yet.' Finally he took me out of the oven and set me on a shelf where ...
