HAHAHA baaaw that made my day... so touched <3 it's funny cos at first she and i didn't get along and were mean to each other... funny how bad things develop into good things haha
aunt rose invited us for dinner and group prayer at her house... tomorrow is st. miguel's and also my late uncle's birthday... his name was miguel too... why is it that the good people always have to go first? i don't get it... uncle miguel was the nicest person i know, he treated me more as his child than his stepson... i remember when my brother and i had to move in with our grandparents in the country, thousands and thousands of miles away from our mother... i will never forget the time when i was on my lunch break from school i was so scared cos of the new/unknown environment... i went to my uncle's house since it was within walking distance from the school... i was by myself and didn't talk much... he saw me and offered me some food but i already brought mine from home... he told me to help myself, and as he was about to leave, he came back and reached into his pocket... he grabbed a handful of coins and gave them to me... i was speechless... he left and i was just touched... every time i remember it, it still touches my heart... it almost brings tears to my eyes... i am just so sad that he had to go so young... i love you uncle amba
anyway, my mom and i helped aunt rose prepare the food... we grilled some chicken and pork in the backyard... the weather was just perfect... i'm so glad we did it... we ate and chatted about different things... we talked about astral projection, aliens, government conspiracies, the healthcare field, etc... it's nice to have people that you can talk to about different things... it was refreshing to me, made me feel relaxed... after that we prayed the rosary... i thanked God for everything, prayed for conversion of my family and friends especially my brother, prayed for the healing/comfort for the sick, the souls in purgatory etc... i really am just nothing without Him
something to think about:
when Jesus was on that cross, he cried "Father, my Father, why have you forsaken me?" that moment He was giving into his Father's will, not His... He was an obedient son...
and that's what we all should do, or at least try to... follow God's will, not our own... Jesus died for us, let us obey our Father
love your neighbors such as you love yourself... i'm not perfect but i know a little bit about love
love is when you tolerate people even when they did you wrong
no matter how much someone angers or hurts you, you still pray for them
love is when you bless your enemies
love is forgiving someone you deeply care for even after they have humiliated and disrespected you
love is wanting happiness and a blessed life for the person you love even though they don't return your feelings and/or have broken your heart
love is showing kindness to strangers
love is giving what you have to people who are less fortunate
love is being considerate of others
God, with your help, i hope to become a better person... the person that You want me to be
