This Brand New Day     

This brand new day I go in faith,

But I know not what lies in wait,

So dear God, this morning I pray,

Take control and lead the way

I do not see with these two eyes,

I cannot tell whre danger lies.

Please, dear Lord, be my guide,

Let me not stray from Your side.

Show me today the journeys to make.

Steer me on the right paths to take.

Grant me grace to discern your will,

For when to strive and when to be still

Help me to love and trust You more.

And radiate your love to my neighbor.

Than bring me back safe and sound,

and let mhy praise for You aboud. Amen

The Good News Within Our Heart     

Once, a famous violinist came out on the stage and made the unfortunate discovery that there was something wrong with his violin. He looked for a second and then saw it was not his famous and valuable one. He paralyzed for a moment, then turned to his audience and told them, "Ladies and gentlemen: I will show you that the music is not in the instrument but in the heart."

     He played as he had never played before and the music poured forth until the audience was overcome with enthusiasm and the applause almost lifted the roof off the building. Indeed, the man had revealed to them that the music was not in the machine but in his own heart.

     Today, the joy of the Resurrection is still within our hearts. And, we must take to heart the words that Our Lord spoke to His disciples when He appeared to them after His resurrection: "As the Father sent Me, so I send you..." (John 20:21). Indeed, the Lord Himself sends us, like the apostles, to proclaim to the world that "He is risen!"

     We proclaim Our Lord's resurrection not just in hymns and inspired songs, but by the very manner in which we live our lives. "Get rid of all bitterness, all anger, harsh words, slander and malice of every kind," says Saint Paul. "In place of these, be kind to one another, compassionate and forgiving, just as God has forgiven you in Christ!"(Ephesians 4:32). May the joy of the resurrection remain within our hearts every day of the year!

The Story of a Blind Girl   

There was a blind girl who hated herself just because she was blind. She hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend. He was always there for her. She said that if she could only see the world, she would marry him.

     One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her and then she could see everything, including her boyfriend. Her boyfriend asked her, "Now that you can see the world, will you marry me?"

     The girl was shocked when she saw that her boyfriend was blind too, and refused to marry him. Her boyfriend walked away in tears, and later wrote a letter to her say, "Just take care of my eyes dear."

    This is how human brain changes when the status changed. Only few remember what life was before, and who's always been there even in the most painful situations.

Life is A Gift

Today before you think of saying an unkind word -

think of someone who can't speak.

Before you complain about the taste of your food -

think of someone who has nothing to eat.

Before you complain about your husband or wife -

think of someone who is crying out to God for a companion.

Today before you complain about life -

think of someone who went too early to heaven.

Before you complain about your children -

think of someone who desires children but they're barren.

Before you argue about your dirty house, someone didn't clean or sweep - 

think of the people who are living in the streets.

Before whining about the distance you drive -

think of someone who walks the same distance with their feet.

And when you are tired and complain about your job -

think of the unemployed, the disabled and those who wished they had your job.

But before you think of pointing the finger or condeming another -

remember that not one of us are without sin and we all answer to one maker.

And when depressing thoughtds seem to get you down -

put a smile on your face and thank God you're alive and still around.

Life is a gift -- Live it! Enjoy it! Celebrate it! and Fulfill it!
