Time

While my mama was organizing her files, she accidentally found a poem she copied from somewhere and asked me to encode and print it. I hope you would take time to read it and ponder on the message of the poem.

Thank you and to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forever more.

Because I have No Time

I knelt to pray but not for long

I had too much to do

Must hurry off and get to work

For bills would soon be due

And so i said a hurried prayer

Jumped up from off my knees

My Christian duty now is done

My soul could be at ease

All through the day I had no time

To speak a word of cheer

No time to speak of Christ to friends

They’d laugh at one I feared

No time. .no time. .no time. .too much to do

That’s who my constant cry

No time to give to those in need

At last it was time to die

And when before the Lord I came

I stood with downcast eyes

Within his name He held a book

It was the book of life

He looked into the book and said

“your name I cannot find

I once was going to write it down

But never found the time.”

We serve the living God; surely we can give Him an hour of our time.-Angus Buchan

To Roceal

Belated happy birthday! Thank you for how many years of friendship. One thing that I could not forget is during our early years in elementary that you said to me that will be friends no matter what, especially the kind of setting we have (you know, about someone who really act as a leader of the class). Our friendship continued AGAIN in high school and during those years I couldn’t believe how warm you are. You don’t know how happy I am to be friends with one of the intelligent person in our class, how proud I am for every achievements of yours and how special it is for me to be exchanging secrets through letter. I’m still keeping them by the way, in my scrap book. 

Ceal may God bless you abundantly (para mapiskan pud kog apil ana ^.^) may He always cover you with His feathers, shelter you with His wings and send angels to protect you wherever you are (psalms 91:4, 11)

Truly your parents weren’t wrong to give you ‘sweet’ as your nickname or endearment on you for you are truly are sweet especially to your family. Good health to you and your family. Love? It will come in His perfect time, place and person. I don’t know the condition of your love life but I want you to know that He has a plan, a wonderful plan for each of us (Jeremiah 29:11). We just only have to trust Him and let Him write the best live story of our life. And no matter what happens, always bear on mind that He is still in control of our lives.

Be safe!

I care for you!

God speed!

Love lots,

Miss K.A. 

to my friend/high school classmate/kapatid/mommy. . .

It’s not that I forgot your birthday, but it's just that i wanted to make an extra effort to show you somehow that you're special and remembered by me ^.^

To my 'silent type', glorious, patient, intelligent, kind and thoughtful kapatid/mommy Jessa Kris; belated happy happy birthday. Our pagiging mag ‘kapatid’ came first during our high school years and I thank you for the friendship that we had (even though I’m not at same level ng katalinohan niyo ;), for some few moments we shared together with kapatid Jessie Pajaron and Roceal.

And in our college years in MSU, surprisingly, you became my ‘mommy’ in faith. Even though I admittedly, sometimes ;) i ditched you (what a termJ) in our bible studies but you were still so patient with me.

I thank you for every encouraging word you’ve said. I thank God for giving me a chance to meet you and ate cheng, who has been my ‘mother’s’ in faith. Even though I’m still not really firm and am still searching for answers but somehow I strive to still continue this ‘good work that has begun’ in me because of someone like you two who prays for me. May others be blessed by your life and may you continue to keep the flame burning in your heart that may it spread to whoever comes near you. And that as you have received, accepted, and followed Him, your whole household will be saved.

May God keep you, and blessed you with good health together with your whole family.

Love lots,

Kathleen Anne

coz it's your birthday

                       To my beautiful, responsible, enthusiastic, intelligent, sweet OLDER sister ;-), I thank God for having you as my sister. I’m sorry for my incompetency of being a big sister, for bearing the responsibilities as an eldest daughter and for disappointing our family. I was really jealous of you for you have been better than me. You can hug our mother whenever you can, talk to her on hours, be sweet to her, make her smile and laugh. You are the daughter our father really adores, you can play basketball and table tennis with him, drives the motorcycle and multicab for him and throw and receive a joke too.

Whenever you're home, I’m really excited and glad but at the same time, i could see how far you are from me on what you have achieved for yourself and for our family. But I’m not blaming you for my irresponsibility’s. In fact I’m happy to see mama often happy and hear her laugh.

This may be too late (sorry i wasn’t able to write this, school stuff) but i want you to know that before i go to bed, i pray for nothing less but the safety of you and our parents.

>that anyone who may get to know you better, finds a good friend in you.

>That may more of your wishes come true

>That anyone who would want to be your partner in life would be lucky

>I care for you though you may not literally feel it.

Thank you for being there when i would need you

And I’m sorry for all my shortcomings.

God bless you

DARK LETTER

PAY ATTENTION TO THE P.S. at the end!!
Letter from the Devil
this can really make you think. It actually made me really mad while I was reading it, but it made me realize some things. Plus, I had to send it because of the P.S.
This is deep... and I wasn't going to forward or share it, but that last line... you'll see.

A LETTER TO YOU FROM SATAN
I saw you yesterday as you began your daily chores.
You awoke without kneeling to pray. As a matter of fact, you didn't
even bless your meals, or
pray before going to bed last night.
You are so unthankful, I like that about you.
I cannot tell you how glad I am that you have not changed your way
of living, Fool, you are mine.
Remember, you and I have been going steady for years, and I still
don't love you yet.
As a matter of fact, I hate you, because I hate God.
He kicked me out of heaven, and I'm
going to use you as long as possible to pay him back.
You see, Fool, GOD LOVES YOU and HE has great plans in store for you
but you have yielded your life to me, and I'm going to make your life a living hell.
That way, we'll be together twice. This will really hurt God.
Thanks to you, I'm really showing Him who's boss in your life with
all of the good times we've had.
We have been...
watching dirty movies,
cursing people out,
stealing, lying, being hypocritical, fornicating, overeating, telling dirty jokes, gossiping, being judgmental,
back stabbing people, disrespecting adults, and those in leadership positions, no respect for the Church, SURELY you don't want to give all this up.
Come on, Fool, let's burn together forever. I've got some hot plans
for us. This is just a letter of appreciation from me to you.
I'd like to say 'THANKS' for letting me use you for most of your foolish life.
You are so gullible, I laugh at you. When you are tempted to sin, you give in
HA HA HA, you make me sick.
Sin is beginning to take its toll on your life. You look 20 years
older, and now, I need new blood.
So go ahead and teach some children how to sin.
All you have to do is smoke, get drunk or drink while under-aged,
cheat, gamble, gossip, fornicate, and live
being as selfish as possible.
Do all of this in the presence of children and they will do it
too. Kids are like that.
Well, Fool, I have to let you go for now. I'll be back in a couple of seconds to tempt you again. If you were smart, you
would run somewhere, confess your sins, and live for God with what little bit
of life that you have left.
It's not my nature to warn anyone, but to be your age and still
sinning; it's becoming a bit ridiculous. Don't get me wrong, I still hate you.
IT'S JUST THAT YOU'D MAKE A BETTER FOOL FOR CHRIST.
P.S. If you love me, you won't share this
