Greed

 

I have bowls of rice
Enough for the many
But never enough for the greedy...

( This is an old Igorot saying I heard from a priest, which I translated into English )

Opportunity

 

When we blame others for our misery, we miss a precious opportunity to grow...

Gratefulness

Dondon, a child eye cancer patient, was interviewed:

Reporter: What is your illness?
Don: In the eye.
Reporter: Ah, so you have cancer in the eye. Are you sad?
Don: No, sir.
Reporter: Aren't you sad? Are you happy?
Don: Yes, sir.
Reporter: Why are you HAPPY?
Don: Because... I am alive...

Don is only 3 years old..

Cards

 

Life is not having the best of cards, but playing well whatever cards you have in your hands...

Alive

Let's demonstrate our love
in action
while they are still alive,
not through flowers
and loud lamentation
after they're gone.

Equation

“Life is a simple equation
We become what we see or speak or touch.
Seek forgiveness, and forgiveness will heal you.
Seek love, and the world will embrace you…”

Everyone Is

 

Nobody has the monopoly of the Kingdom of God.
Everyone is a client.
Everyone is an agent.
Everyone is a manager, a supervisor and an investor in the Kingdom of God.

Values

 

The way we judge life depends on how and what we value most. Where your eyes are, there your heart is.

Reassuring Noise

 

It's funny to think that some noise is positive and often reassuring especially when it comes from our children...
