*"Your Song" - Elton John



Hi All, hahaha, its been quite a while since I've last blogged... =P So... I shall make up for it today... =) Its gonna be a deep post and one that speaks from the bottom of my heart...



I shall start by chatting about the things I did today...


Woke up at 5, went back to sleep...

Woke up at 6, went back to sleep...

Woke up yet again at 7, tried to go back to sleep...

But no matter how hard I tried, I felt awfully guilty, so, I quickly rushed and got ready for mass... =)


Mass was rather ok... Had breakfast with Nigel and his mum, and went to meet up with Lester and Aggie...

Nic came along shortly after and we went to Macs to accompany her...


Went to mass again...

The visting priest was simply awesome... His homily was utterly remarkable... I mean, I can safely say that the whole congregation was really really receptive to it... =) Amen? Hahah... He did say a few things that I really felt touched...

Overall, He really stressed the meaning of Love and how special God has made us... And that Jesus is present in each and every one of us...


When you see your friend, you see Jesus...

When you see your fellow brother/sister, you see Jesus...

When you see your parents, you see Jesus...

When you see your God-Family (=P), you see Jesus...

When you meet anyone, and if you believe, you will see Jesus present in each and everyone of them...


And he also mentioned that "Winter" has passed... Long gone were the times when rain and sorrow drowned our soul... Gone were the days that we had to be sad and frown upon the many things that had upset us...

Because, Behold, flowers are already starting to bloom, birds are singing a joyful song, the sun is out, Spring is here!
And with a family, awesome, simply awesome friends I have, a terrific God-family that God has grant unto me, how can I not be happy?

I have life too... And many a times, just waking up each day is already a huge blessing that God has given us...

A dark period of my life has finally passed, or should I say, is still passing, slowly but surely, it is definitly passing...

I have found meaning in Love too...

Man, there are simply so many things in my life that I've overlooked and just thinking about them makes me feel simply selfish...


Why the sudden urge to blog this?

- Simple. There have been times when I so wanted to talk about this. But I was afraid. Just simply afraid of the consequences it might cause... But, What the heck... This is also a great time to let my family and friends know how much I really love them...

(You can say that the homily has done something to me...)


I'd now like to thank some of the many many people that I simply treasure for being with me and making my life meaningful and a life worth living...


And may I stress that Life is indeed a sacred gift.


Many a times I've mentioned in so many of my friends testimonials to "treasure the gift of life..."

And I truly meant and will still mean it...


"God OF Wonders" - Wow Worship


To The people that I'm about to mention, whatever that I'm about to say is really from my heart and all I can say is Thank You. Thanks so much.



Firstly My parents...


D-uh many of you might add... Well, I know. But I'd like to tell them and I'd like the whole world to know that I love my parents... =)

I would also like those who are reading this to recall...

Recall the times when you fell ill...

And how your parents would be at your side the whole time... My parents did that and I really felt overwhelmed...

Mum, Dad, I love you guys... =) Thanks so much... =)

Thanks to my splendid God-Family too!!!! =)


And thanks to everyone that has helped me out one way or another... I'm sorry if I didn't mention your name but please know that I really am grateful for all the things you've done and I'll still keep all of you in my prayers...

I always had...


And I always will...



Someone once told me that if friends start praying for one another, there's this special bond that will form and that special friendship can only get stronger...

Why?

-Simple. Its because the friendship will be centered on God, to God and in God.



I can only agree...




I would really wanna go on blogging but I can't... Sigh... I will blog again real soon...


But right now, I'd like to say a prayer...



Dear God,


Thanks so much for everything you've done for me...


Thank you for giving me a family and friends that have been simply awesome in my life...


Bless them lord. Help them and let them know that you'll always be there for them when they need you...


Just as what you said to the person who asked you why was it when it was the most difficult times when it was only one footprint in the sand...

You just answered that it was in those crucial times when you carried and shared their burdens and pains...


Thank You Lord... =)




~Amen...*
