thank you for YOU ARE ALWAYS NEAR AND ALWAYS THERE. thanks for the much needed help of yesterday, of today and of the future. you are my light, my eyes, my strength. you always showed me the truth and the way to the right path. you gave me wisdom, you gave me your much needed intercessions when I am lost and needed them most. you gave me that much needed consolation in times of sadness, hopelessness, anger, despair and disappointments. you, with the father above and Jesus...i am forever grateful...
the image of our mother of perpetual help in our parish that i took not too long ago. this image was transferred from another church when our parish was renamed "our mother of perpetual help parish" from "our lady of fatima" 2 years ago due to consolidation of parishes made by the catholic archdiocese in our area...the rose was from my garden one nice summer. a beautiful bloom rightly meant for our mother...my faith is the wind behind my back. i won't be here living in the U.S. without the grace of God...miracles do happen, that's for sure...so i thank God everyday from the bottom of my heart :)...
whispered memories that you couldn't catch before they fade away"...a remarkable line from an old turner classic movie called "random harvest" 1942...i watch old movies for they constantly remind us of our mortality. old movies and its characters are eaten by time. it is just a stroke of luck that these actors and actresses are forever recorded, unlike most of humanity then. but now you can record your own video-movie with the brilliant inventions of the present time :)
“Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That’s why it’s called the present.” anonymous? from the www...we can't do anything about the past except it is a silent teacher. we can't do anything about tomorrow because it is not yet for us to swallow. today is what we have granted that the sun will smile at us. to be what we want to be, to do what we want to do before the clutches of time catches on us and eat us. before there are no more sunrises, before we don't have enough strength to enjoy this gift of a limited time on earth. sad in a way but God designed it that way. we are just humble creations of our powerful creator, God :) who has the final say with regards to what will eventually happen to us in our short timed lives...so... let's aid a life before life passes us by :>
