i happen to be present at the ordination of a classmate friend who in his words of thanksgiving, challenges us to do little things for our beloved country. simple things that will not cost us if we do it, but will surely create an impact in our life and on the life of every Filipinos. borrowing the ideas of Alexander Lacson here are the 12 little things every Filipino can do to help our country:

1. Follow traffic rules. Follow the law.
2. Whenever you buy or pay for anything, always ask for an official receipt.
3. Don’t buy smuggled goods. Buy Local. Buy Filipino.
4. When you talk to others, especially foreigners, speak positively about us and our country.
5. Respect your traffic officer, policeman and soldier.
6. Do not litter. Dispose your garbage properly. Segregate. Recycle. Conserve.
7. Support your church.
8. During elections, do your solemn duty.
9. Pay your employees well.
10. Pay your taxes.
11. Adopt a scholar or a poor child.
12. Be a good parent. Teach your kids to follow the law and love our country.

now, what do these simple things tries to teach us? the answer are as follows: disciple, honesty, respect for life, upholding human dignity, concern for the environment, being a good citizen by upholding the sacredness of ones vote, being charitable and courageous in making a difference…

This season of Easter is a time to celebrate our faith, our hope and love.

We are all called to celebrate our salvation, our passing from the bondage of sin to freedom, from death to life.

If Christ has not risen then our faith has no meaning, our hope has no future, and our love will bear no effect.

We are then being challenged to become an Easter People, a people of faith, a people of hope and a people of love. A people sent to spread the Good News to all men and women.

If we have good news, that is: Christ has risen! The Good News about Jesus is not to be kept a secret. There are many people out there waiting to hear it. They are depending on you and me, to tell them…

LETTING GO

How do you walk away from someone you love
And take the road of friend;
Can you reroute the course you have taken
And start over once again?

I don’t really want to let you go
But inside me I know I must;
The times we’ve loved . . . the times you’ve left
My heart says stay . . . but it’s my mind I must trust.

We have shared so much together
Laughter . . . fun times . . . tears;
Yet sometimes we can’t turn back time
We must walk away, and allow ourselves to heal.

I know one day you will be happy
And your soulmate you will find;
I know we each have one out there
Even if for now . . . only in our minds.

May life be gentle with you
May God’s best come your way;
And on some quiet tomorrow
You will realize things were better this way.

Dopo aver formato un attaccamento alle persone e alle cose, esso può essere molto dolorosa esperienza e sensazione di quando si rese conto che è il momento di lasciar andare. Anche il solo pensiero di non avere quella persona o cosa nella vostra vita solo spreme il cuore nel dolore.

Tuttavia, ci sono volte in cui tu o la persona è cambiata, nella misura in cui è necessario lasciar andare il rapporto di amicizia o, in modo che ciascuno di voi può soddisfare il vostro percorso di vita.

Di lasciar andare il tuo vecchio sé e il processo di lasciar emergere il nuovo si può essere uno dei Scariest esperienze nella vostra vita. Ma lasciando da parte la vecchia auto e di un atto di fede verso l’ignoto, si potrebbe rivelare solo ciò che siete veramente in grado di diventare.
