Thank You...

DEAR GOD:

I want to thank You for what you have already done. I am not going to wait until I see results or receive rewards; I am thanking you right now. I am not going to wait until I feel better or things look better; I am thanking you right now. I am not going to wait until people say they are sorry or until they stop talking about me; I am thanking you right now.. I am not going to wait until the pain in my body disappears ; I am thanking you right now. I am not going to wait until my financial situation improves; I am going to thank you right now. I am not going to wait until the children are asleep and the house is quiet; I am going to thank you right now. I am not going to wait until I get promoted at work or until I get the job; I am going to thank you right now. I am not going to wait until I understand every experience in my life that has caused me pain or grief; I am thanking you right now. I am not going to wait until the journey gets easier or the challenges are removed;

I am thanking you right now. I am thanking you because I am alive. I am thanking you because I made it through the day's difficulties. I am thanking you because I have walked around the obstacles.

I am thanking you because I have the ability and the opportunity to do more and do better.

I'm thanking you because FATHER, YOU haven't given up on me.

God is just so good, and he's good all the time. Send this message to 8 friends, not to the friend who sent it to you and continue to THANK HIM.

Si LORD Talaga...

... alam kung kelan ako babatukan sa ulo. Here He is again trying to get my attention.

Message: "Hello!.... busy ka? naku mukha nga... tagal na natin di nagkikita... tagal mo na ako di dinadalaw... alam mo miss na kita... o sino yang nagtext sa iyo?... buti pa sa kanya nakapagreply ka agad... napansin ko ang dami mong ginagawa talaga... ang dami mo ring things to do diyan sa planner mo ah!

* mapangarap ka talaga noh?... ang dami mong <><> plano . ** nakakatuwa naman na malaman yan. kasama ba ako sa <><> plano ** mo? ano? naku di ka agad makasagot... sige okay lang alam ko naman kung ano talaga sagot mo... *

nakita kita nung Friday, aga mo umalis sa office. alam mo ba, ang akala ko pupuntahan mo ako. ooppss! hindi pala! TGIF (THANK God it's Friday) pala kayo ng mga friends mo. umaga ka na nakauwi ah? naghintay ako sa 'yo. pagpasok mo sa kuwarto mo, di mo ako napansin... haaay! kawawa ka naman siguradong kinabukasan masakit ang ulo mo, tanghali ka na gigising... Ang dami mong lakad, naghihintay ako na tayo naman ang maging magkasama kaya lang sa dami ng schedules mo sa trabaho at sa labas ng office parang malabo .

O sige na, balik ka na sa work mo. i might be eating too much of your time maging dahilan pa ako para masira ang plano mo sa araw na ito... gusto ko lang sabihin sa'yo na nandito lang ako kapag kailangan mo ako.... pag hindi ka na busy. totoo yon! walang biro! ayaw mong maniwala? Ganon kita kamahal kasi! ayaw mo pa ring maniwala? Haaay! remember this, kahit singit lang ako lagi sa buhay mo, kahit biglaan mo lang na natatawag ako dahil nagulat ka, nasaktan ka, nauntog ka o dahil part ang pangalan ko nung binabasa mo sa text, you will be in my heart always...
trial after trial isipin mo kasama mo ako na lumalakad, hindi man sa buhangin, kasama mo pa rin ako... sa lahat plano mo , kahit hindi mo ako kasama perfecting it... para mas maging masaya ka... minsan tayo naman ang mag-usap ha? minsan ako naman ang dalawin mo... miss na talaga kita eh...
sa akin hindi ka singit lang..."

JESUS

Paki forward ha para naman malaman ng iba kung gaano ako kapanabik sa kanila... pero paki tanggal yung name ng nag-forward sa 'yo...

I KNOW YOU WILL RESPOND!

What if God couldn't take the time to bless us today because we couldn't take the time to thank Him yesterday?

What if God decided to stop leading us tomorrow because we didn't follow Him today?

What if we never saw another flower bloom because we grumbled when God sent the rain?

What if God didn't walk with us today because we failed to recognize it as His day?

What if God took away the Bible tomorrow because we would not read it today?

What if God took away His message because we failed to listen to the messenger?

THINK ABOUT THIS ONE...
What if God didn't send His only begotten Son because He wanted us to be prepared to pay the price for sin?

What if the door of the church was closed because we did not open the door of our heart?

What if God stopped loving and caring for us because we failed to love and care for others?

What if God would not hear us today because we would not listen to Him?

What if God answered our prayers the way we answer His call to service?

What if God met our needs the way we give Him our lives?

What if we failed to send this message on?

THIS IS A SIMPLE TEST...
If you love Jesus, send this to people you know...

When You Thought I Wasn't Looking

Happy Birthday, Nijo... 1year and 4months!!!
This is for YOU...

A message every adult should read because
children are watching you and doing as you do, not as you say.


When you thought I wasn't looking I saw you hang my first painting on the refrigerator,
and I immediately wanted to paint another one.


When you thought I wasn't looking I saw you feed a stray cat,
and I learned that it was good to be kind to animals.


When you thought I wasn't looking I saw you make my favorite cake for me,
and I learned that the little things can be the special things in life.


When you thought I wasn't looking I heard you say a prayer,
and I knew that there is a God I could always talk to, and I learned to trust in Him.


When you thought I wasn't looking I saw you make a meal and take it to a friend who was sick,
and I learned that we all have to help take care of each other.


When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you give of your time and money to help people who had nothing, and I learned that those who have something should give to those who don't.


When you thought I wasn't looking I saw you take care of our house and everyone in it,
and I learned we have to take care of what we are given.


When you thought I wasn't looking I saw how you handled your responsibilities,
even when you didn't feel good, and I learned that I would have to be responsible when I grow up.


When you thought I wasn't looking I saw tears come from your eyes,
and I learned that sometimes things hurt, but it's all right to cry.


When you thought I wasn't looking I saw that you cared,
and I wanted to be everything that I could be.


When you thought I wasn't looking I learned most of life's lessons
that I need to know to be a good and productive person when I grow up.


When you thought I wasn't looking, I looked at you and wanted to say “Thanks”
for all the things I saw when you thought I wasn't looking.
