Priceless Jewel




A home is not complete without a child. Every couple will not feel complete. Loneliness will abound.
Every child is special especially in the sight of God. Their innocence reminds to be noble. They helped us strengthened our faith.

I could recall a story of a mother. Once she attended a party most of her friends wore expensive jewels. Then she was asked, “ Oh you’re so simple and don’t have anything? Don’t have jewels likes us? Are you poor?” She smiled and replied, I am rich and have precious jewels. Here’s they are my children. They lightened my life. Through them I am complete.

Each of them have special way of expressing love. Even a simple smile they comfort our anguish.

Pronouncing Our Deepest Sympathy

Seeing someone homeless and hungry especially old age is painful. To ask where are their families? Supposed they have been cared of at their stage. Every time my mom can saw such situation she would say I must find a good partner and get married. She would not permit it might happen to me.

It was a night of sorrow. We're approaching to a nearby pharmacy to buy medicines for my mom. Upon receiving the purchase our eyes has been captured by an old man walking sluggishly. Wearing rugged suit. He was bringing a bottle of mineral water and a slice of small bread. He then sat down in a bench taking all he have. We felt it's not enough. A dept of sorrow came in and wondering his situation. I almost cry and said if only those people who are blessed with much can have the eagerness to save.

We decided to go to the nearest bakeshop to buy breads and water. My mom said if only she have enough she can help those in need. Rushing in and hoping we could catch up the old man. Luckily there he was in the same place. Noticing him he have an eye defect he couldn't see clearly. The only way he can comfort his loneliness and coldness is through smoking.

I don't know where he was now. We are hoping our government have some plans for this. Like in the US they have some institution who handled aged for them be comforted. At their late stage they can still feel the warm acceptance.

Talents Rise A Success

Each individual are born with talents. A free gift from on high. We are oblige to use it or else be taken away. Some would say we are nothing don't have a space to live on. Thinking they don't acquire it. We are peculiar being with different characteristics. Some is being develop and some is innate. All to do is explore and develop.

It's been awhile reality shows are rampant. Most of us especially young ones indulged to be popular and earn money. There is no limit as long you have guts opportunities are there. We may say we don't have it just because we fail to explore or we felt shy. It's normal but if we want achievements then move on.

Just recently a certain young man with kidney problem won. Despite of his disabilities he never quit. Many would say it's a bias just because he's an American compared to his contender a Filipina. Certainly the reason why many of us achieved because of strong determination plus the faith in Almighty. It drives us to be positive to pursue our dreams. It doesn't mean if we failed we don't have chances but it's just a beginning.

There is no limit, no sexual preferences and no racial discrimination all are equal. Many famous painters, composers, and musicians were born with disability but they bloom with  much respect and honor. They uphold  us to develop everything we have to commit success.

Talking back to reality shows there indeed we can pattern some aspects from the participants. How they survived despite of many hardships prior to the contest? How they managed to withstand amidst criticisms and even their family were being mocked? How they withhold their dignity? Such questions can view ourselves that we much exert our wisdom to explore the gift we had.

Repent Ye For The Time Is At Hand


It's alarming that many of us gone astray. Perverting things to make sense. Notwithstanding the effect just to go beyond limits. I don't know what to really feel. As far I knew it's disgusting. We forgot what our creator done for us. We are always reminded but denied the truth.

I am still a kid when I experienced a quite strong earthquake. I could feel the fear seeing everything were moving. I knew it's part of life. As according to science it is a natural movement of earth's surfaces especially once a volcano erupt. In common sense once there's heat inside it must be blown to ease up the pain.

This morning while watching a television I opened a topic to my mom. When again I couldn't control my tone of my voice as if we're arguing. She then speak up telling me to calm down. Let peace showered my mind. She told me to shout and opened everything I felt to ease my sadness.

Ever since before I couldn't control the sadness or even depression. I tend to cry aloud alone or in front of anybody. I am so proud of my mom because she's always there to comfort. I admit one reason was my failure of obtaining my aspirations. But as the days went by all what I observed in our society added. Every time I could see people indulge in mockery my heart will shout in anger. Or even when I turned on the computer to see videos or chatting to different beings. It seems they forgot what is the law. Allowing evil ways to post through.

Last 6 of February 2012 another tragedy happened when a 6.9 magnitude earthquake hit the city I live. That time I was just finished washing my garments when it attacked. Knowing also my mom was in the other house. I knew God protects us. Nothing had happened to us. For all we knew in the news many died or buried alive. Many properties were lost and up to now those live victims still struggling. What a traumatic incident last year many lives were lost due to heavy storm. Not yet recovered another calamity came.

To think of it's a warning to all of us. We must think of what have we done. Many relied on worldly creations because for them it's satisfying. Never thought of the future. We are blessed He gave us what we want but most of us don't have gratitude. It's a time for us to forsake the negative vibes to rescue our soul. I knew I have to move on. The time is nigh at hand for "The Second Coming of Christ." We must repent and be back to him.

“Wherefore, if ye have sought to do wickedly in the days of your probation, then ye are found unclean before the judgment-seat of God; and no unclean thing can dwell with God; wherefore, ye must be cast off forever” (1 Ne. 10:21).

A Love that we can share…..


Family is the most important thing we can have. It is the most essential in a society. There we build our identity. Where we belong to feel the sense of being accepted. But it’s not only by blood as long there is deeper understanding a family exist.

Comparing to a tree there is a root to produce branches. When it grow brings good fruits.

“A saying goes we can’t attain success if we forget where we came from.” To learn and understand we should familiarize people around or even dig up whatever information.

Within our family clan I and my brother were close only to my mother’s side unlike to my father’s side. We even decided to changed our Surname because we want peace free from contentions. Since we’re young we never felt that we’re welcome to them. There’s always grievances among siblings. What’s in their mind is wealth and pleasure. They took for granted the hardships of their fore parents.

Since my farther was the only who hold positions as a Policeman our relatives used him to fulfill what they want until to the point his family suffered. I could say he’s a good man. He served the people with respect. Despite of his hectic schedule he managed to be active in the church. He magnified his calling even lack of sleep. But in our family status opposite happened. He failed to be a good husband, provider and a father. Probably I can’t condemned him because he too suffered he never been accepted by his own family.

Well even my father have failures at least by simple way he showed his love to his children. I was once decided not to mingle guys or shall we say I developed a phobia. What’s in my mind I don’t want to happen what my mom had. That time every now and then I saw her crying and almost felt hopeless. I felt the sorrow within. It was me who always remind my father to change. Have pity on my mom or else we will leave him alone.

Year 2001 when he decided to leave them including his properties and live with us in another city. There we live simply free from disturbance. It’s his time to leave and no longer sustain. Last July 8, 2005 he died to some complications. I never think that his Surname which destroyed our family relationship before could help us know our origin.

Either a coincidence or should be. Someone from another country saw my picture. At first I didn’t believe him all I knew our descendants were Filipino-Spanish. My mom got interested to search more. Beside in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints where we belong we’re always encourage to search our root or a genealogy. Through the help of the internet we come up it was an Indian origin. It was amazing to know who are you and where you cam from? A time for me to accept the reality because these kind of people I didn’t like to be with. How marvelous is our Heavenly Father He make a way for me to lend back on where I cam from. Up to this moment I am still searching more. Dealing with social network there is a greater disadvantages because of lifestyle. But it my case it helped me find my root.

It’s not easy to locate but it’s worth it. It gives us joy knowing them. It takes hard work, patience and inner empathy to fulfill one our greatest job. It serves also a gift to our future generations. We can also show our love for me.

Expounding Deepest Meaning Of Life


Each of us are peculiar. We came from one God who created everything for our benefit. We are blessed with talents to exercise. We lived in a vast universe full of mysteries to discover.

What is the meaning of Life? To some as long we are alive we must enjoy with no limits. If we are eager to know more then we can understand.

In the scriptures particularly in the book of Genesis, Heavenly Father is perfect. He wanted us to be like Him. He sent His begotten son Jesus Christ to be our Savoir and Redeemer. His purpose must be fulfilled. In order for us be like Him we must passed through several challenges. Sometimes we think it is punishment. We feel desperate to the point we ignore His council. Disobeying Him is the biggest mistakes. Overwhelmed with worldly things.

There came into my mind I must quit. If only I have a choice but I must move on. Even thought Heavenly Father took my life at an early age. I don't want to see the blasphemous happenings. I kept on wandering why many engaged in foolishness. I need thorough tolerance to handle. Needs to overcome weaknesses to serve as a model amidst darkness.

Racial Tradition


Each country have traditions. Every year people are busy preparing for different presentations. Several kinds of foods are serve. Different races gather together to commemorate each beliefs. Despite of poverty many strive to have money for the event. Many feel excited to see different shows.

Many will say it's a promise to pay tribute to the patron Saints who save the land. No matter what happened the event must go on. Wither rainy or sunny many would take risks just to fulfill their promises and thinking they will be blessed.

According to history it was the Spaniards who introduced. Since many were under control many inherited their beliefs until now it is still practice. But it came to my mind if we really respect God why we worship idols? When we knew He is alive. Why we neglect to follow His commandments? We always said we love and honor Him. But look, what happened to us we choose and follow the trend of the world? We divert what is right? We seek riches rather than eternity.

It was written in the Holy Bible," Thou shalt love thy God with all thy heart, mind, might and strength. We can recall what happened to the Israelites in the times of Moses. Out of loneliness, they set aside the things they've learned. They made a golden calf and rejoice. Upon seeing Moses burst to disappointment and broke the tablet which contained the Ten Commandments.

Many people mourned due to misery. Even they end up doing suicide. Cannot accept misfortune. Blaming the creator of their tragedy. God is merciful. He gave us wisdom but we used it in a negative way.

Every time I looked around It made me sad. Many are blinded of their foolish traditions. Pretending to be righteous but it's not. Perverting what is right just to have fun. I used to complained and became a critic. If we really love God we must do what right. I knew it's wrong because it can lead contentions. I was advice then to calm down. Anyway we have the freedom. If we used wisely we can have happiness but if not torment. Indeed It's part it is one way we are test how firm is our foundation.

Wishes......


Each of us have wishes. Every new year we used to write it. Going back in my younger years our teachers used to ask to compose.

Before I was fat and dreaming of getting slimmer but always failed. I kept on planning but craving for foods and it's an effect of medicines. I want to fulfill my ambition to have stable job but failed to have it. Now, jobless and dependent on the support of my family. I want to be independent to show I can do it despite of my passed.

My mother wish us to be a servant of the Lord. Proclaiming the gospel to every nation.She even saved money for our expenses. Unluckily failed. I was diagnosed with a defect and I didn't want to hassle anyone. My brother did pursue in another category.

Dreaming of a house of our own. We want to have privacy. We kept on planning but still failed. We almost bought a land area but declined. I kept asking myself why? What are the plans God has intend for us?

Everything has a purpose. God knows what is good for us. All we need is to trust on Him. Maybe if we bought the land area we're also affected of the latest tragedy happened in Mindanao. Maybe if I had the job there in Cagayan de Oro I am also affected.

Each of us have wishes to come true. We are eager to have it. Sometimes we feel upset why nothing happen. We feel depressed. A challenge to withstand. A trial to our dignity.

One of my mother's word stated, maybe it's not time. Maybe we can have all our wishes in the next life. If we think we are not profitable here maybe in the life to come. I knew it's depressing seeing someone's success. I used to cry but it's part of my trial.

Sometimes enable to succeed we did wrong just to fulfill. But to think of it's useless. It's worthless. We are here to be tested how far we are strong. Challenges will pass by. If we conquer it we can have happiness.
