Life Reflections

Lateran Basilica

The Cathedral of Rome is called Lateran Basilica. It is a symbol of the unity of the Church. We are called to be apostles of unity, ourselves living in, and calling others to, communion with Christ in His Body, the Church. May we seek out opportunities to proclaim this message.

Exalted

Parishes trusted themselves too much. By observing the law and doing their religious duties they thought they had achieved holiness. Let’s humbly examine our hearts and see how, like them, we claim to be better and more qualified than others. Jesus tells us: the one who humbles himself will be exalted!

Positive Side

People always say that it is very hard to get good help now a days. But, for me it is definitely as easy as finding a good term life insurance rate for yourself. People, who are willing and able to work are just around the corner. Yes, there are people out there, who can do you a lot of harm. But I believe on the positive side of people; and that there is definitely a lot of good and love out there.

Work Perks

In these times of financial crisis, people are just missing out on the old work perks. I mean, people use to get a lot of bonuses. Now a days even if the company is doing well and workers are performing at their best, no one still gets a bonus or an increase. I bet a lot of workers out there are missing business gifts during Christmas. I remember my husband use to get a lot of goodies from his work during the Christmas season. He was actually getting a lot of good stuff like jackets, and gift certificates to a local department store. Those were the good old days.

A New Ride

My friend decided to get into the outdoors lifestyle, and bought a new vehicle for camping. Well, it was really an RV. I didn’t bother asking her how much she paid for it. I bet it cost a fortune, and not to mention the cost of rv insurance is a luxury too. But in any case, I do envy her a little. It is a bit of an unusual ride, but it is still a new ride.

A Weekend with Friends

Last weekend, we had an invitation from one of our new friends to visit them at their house. Of course, me and my family went and had a very fun time with our new friends. I was actually a bit jealous because their house was very spacious and neat. They had Ft Myers custom doors in nearly every room. My husband was so eager to get into their modern kitchen. They had the best and newest kitchen gadgets that he totally wants to have too. It was just a great weekend, and the kids had fun too.

God make things possible

Sarah laughs in disbelief when told she’s going to have a child in her old age. We can imagine who has the last laugh when she indeed conceives Isaac! God sometimes surprises us when what we think it’s impossible to happens. Revisit the pasts days or weeks: See how you’ve experienced the God of surprises.

It’s not easy

Joyoz — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 10:06:12 +0000

Many friends of mine are asking if I can help them find jobs. Well, if it’s easy I could help them but it’s not really. I even had a hard time finding job for myself. It’s not like submitting papers from your country and you’re immediately hired for a certain work or position in a certain company. I made lots of adjustment to be familiar with the place. And even to travel by myself, I was scared during those days.
Foreign countries mostly require permanent residency or citizenship. You can’t get in immediately if you’re a beginner and no experience at all. You need to be clever to make it easier for you to find a jobs. So clever as in you know everything. I heard about philadelphia jobs and maybe it’s good for job seekers in the US. If it’s only near to those who were asking for my help, I would recommend it to them. Maybe they’ll find a better chance there.

Wanting more…

My family is a gamer. I mean they’re inclined with computer games. Kids inherit it from their dad or let’s just say influenced. Can’t blame them anyway. Someone is showing some example. From the dad to our youngest whom only four years old. They got a little bit of everything when it comes to computer games. I think every other week we spent some bucks for their Nintendo DS, for their Wii and PSP games. Now they’re thinking of getting another Wii accessories and I don’t know what specifically. They’re just having discussions about it. I just let them be because at least they spend quality time together. Boys will be boy!

God listens

Joyoz — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 09:24:46 +0000

When you find yourself complaining to God then complain. In any relationship we feel both pleasant feeling. God hears your groaning’s as He hears the Israelite’s grumble about food in the desert or as He hears Jesus cry out “My God, why have you abandoned me? He listens. He understands.
