What makes coffee sweet?

What makes coffee sweet? Sugar? Nah. It's the stirring you do after adding sugar. 
In life it's what you do with what you have that makes it worthwhile. 

In any moment of decision

In any moment of decision, 
the best thing you do is the right thing, 
the next best thing is the wrong thing 
and the worst thing you can do is nothing. 

A Beautiful Prayer

Lord, when I lose hope because my plans have come to nothing, help me to remember that your love is always greater than my disappointments. Amen.

Never be afraid to entrust your future to an all-knowing God

Never be afraid to entrust your future to an all-knowing God. When you have nothing left but Him, you will find that God is more than enough.

Simple Things In Life

1. Be brave even when you're not. Pretend to be. No one can tell the difference.
2. When playing games with children, let them win.
3. When someone hugs you, let them be the first to let go.
4. Wave at children on a school bus.
5. Keep a notepad and pencil beside your table. Million-dollar ideas sometimes strike at 3am.
6. Look at people in the eye.
7. Compliment a meal when you're a gust in someone's home.
8. Don't expect life to be fair. Just live it.
   

A Rich Lesson

One day, a rich dad took his son on a trip, wanted to show how poor some can be. They spent a time on a farm of a family considered poor. On the way home dad asked, "How was the trip?"
"Great dad."
"Did you see how poor people can be?"
"Yeah."
"What did you learn?"
"I saw we have one dog, they have four. We have a pool, they have an endless creek. At nyt we have imported lanterns, they have stars. We buy food, they grow theirs. We have walls for protection, they have friends." Then the boy added,
"Thanks dad for showing me how poor we are."

i didn't ask for it to be over

i didn't ask for it to be over, but then again,

i never asked for it to begin..

for that's the way it is with life..

even the most beautiful days have their sunsets.

falling in love is like standing on a diving board waiting to jump

falling in love is like standing on a diving board waiting to jump. whether you live or die depends upon one fact: is there water in the pool or is it just your mind telling you that there is water because your eyes are closed.

live fully

everything about the future is uncertain

everything about the future is uncertain..
but one thing is sure: God has arranged all our tomorrows.
you just have to trust him as he leads you.

Love

why do you still laugh wen all along you're sad?
why do you still wait for someone when you're sure she's not coming back?
why would you risk something so great for something as little as hope?
is it really worth a smile? wasting your time? risking yourself?
could it be called stupidity?
believeing in something impossible..trying out something unattainable..risking something for nothing..
maybe you're crazy.
is it something worth fighting for?
or perhaps, its because of something powerful..
So strong, that it has the capacity to turn everything around.

the shortest distance between a problem and a solution

the shortest distance between a problem and a solution is just the distance between your knees and the floor. the one who kneels to the Lord can stand up to anything. Godbless!

life provides us with many options

life provides us with many options...

go on or give up

hold on or let go

stay or leave

but its comforting to know that God remains faithful whichever way we go.

Prayer teaches us to wait

Prayer teaches us to wait; it clears our vision; quiets our heart and activates our faith. glow like the sunrise and be humble like the sunset.

May God give you relief for every stress

May God give you relief for every stress, a sweet song for every sigh, an answer for every prayer and peace for every troubled moment..

It's not necessary that all our efforts and sacrifices are recognized

It's not necessary that all our efforts and sacrifices are recognized..
as long as you know and God knows you did your best. Nothing more to say, nothing more to prove.

do you know why there are people who had sad experiences

do you know why there are people who had sad experiences in anything but they show to you it's like nothing? they never show you they cry simply because..

there are tears in the heart that never reaches the eyes...

true love is

true love is
when you're still dancing..

long after the music has stopped..

happiness isn't getting what we want

happiness isn't getting what we want, but being satisfied with what we have. the way to be happy is to be grateful even with the small blessings we recieve.

sometimes not everything you want is given to you

sometimes not everything you want is given to you

like the ideal person you wanna be with

it may not turn out the way you expect it to be

but at the end you'll see that

what you have is better than what you wanted...Ü

Life is a paradox

Life is a paradox...

what you wnat,
you don't get;

what you get,
you don't enjoy;

what you enjoy,
is not permanent;

what's permanent becomes boring...

Life's like that..

Take life one day at a time

Take life one day at a time.

it's not how fast we move nor how long we live...

it's how we cherish every moment...

with God in our hearts! :)

Through our heart God hears more than we say

Through our heart God hears more than we say, He answers more than we ask, He gives more than we desire. Expect great things from God everyday!

when your feelings get too strong for someone

when your feelings get too strong for someone, it's always wise to stop for a while and give your heart a time to breathe. a time to use your mind to weigh the situation based on reason not on emotion.

all the waters in the world could never sink a ship unless it gets inside

all the waters in the world could never sink a ship unless it gets inside. all the pressures of the world can tear you apart, but it can never hurt you, unless you let it in.

A man is a fool when he dies for his opinions

A man is a fool when he dies for his opinions.
A man is a saint when he stands for his convictions.
Give us clear vision that we may know where we stand and what to stand for, because unless we stand for something, we shall fall for anything.

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring. All of which have the potential to turn a life around.

hardship is one way of measuring one's strength

hardship is one way of measuring one's strength..
so if your problem is extra big..
be extra flattered because that's how much God believes in you...

Life is pretty simple

Life is pretty simple.

When you're asking for apples and life hands you lemons, make lemonade.

If you're on your way out, and it starts to rain, at least you won't have to water the plants anymore.

It's a matter of seeing things in perspective. The benefits may not be immediately obvious, but you have to know this for sure:

God will never give you anything you can't handle. Nothing can triumph over.

There will be problems.

There will be struggles.

But if they're not there, how'd you know how strong you are?

How would you know if you've found the right person

How would you know if you've found the right person?
How can you tell if what your hart says is right?

In love, taking risks is very important
You'll never know the answer

unless you fall so deep..

Nothing else would matter

Nothing else would matter..
..When the heart finally speaks for itself..

The secret to a happy life is giving GOD the first part of your day

The secret to a happy life is giving GOD the first part of your day..
The first priority to your every decision..
And the first place in your heart.

When you make choices follow God

When you make choices follow God
Not your own way
For if your own way fails
You regret
But with God
You can smile and say
HE KNOWS BEST!

God has PURPOSE in making things happen

God has PURPOSE in making things happen. He moves in mysterious ways. You're not expected to understand immediately. You're expected to remain trusting, until you're READY to understand.

Don't be afraid to recieve love more than you can return

Don't be afraid to recieve love more than you can return. Be afraid that you can't give back love although you really can.
Love needs not to be equal or fair, it only needs to be "TRUE".

Appreciate life itself even if it is not perfect

Appreciate life itself even if it is not perfect. Contentment is not fulfillment of what you wish for, but appreciation of what you have. :)

Every sunset

Every sunset gives us one day less to live.
But every sunrise gives us one day more to hope.

In Life

In life, the greatest handicap is FEAR, the hardest things to do is MOVING ON, the most useless asset is PRIDE, the scariest thing to do is CHANGE, and the greatest mistake is GIVING UP!

Never regret the choices you make

Never regret the choices you make. Just believe in yourself and have faith. Life isn't perfect, it's a blend of joy and sorrow. But wherever life leads you, remember, God has a purpose.

BELIEVE IN MIRACLES

BELIEVE IN MIRACLES
When things have gone wrong. As they sometimes will do, or an obstacle suddenly pops into view, you've got to believe this is merely a stop and eventually you're bound to come out on top, so whatever you do, just don't quit! :)

Life

Life is so short for drama and petty problems.. So kiss slowly, laugh insanely, love truly and forgive quickly.. Life is too short to be anything but happy..Ü

i miss you..

i miss you..
not because you're gone,
but because things between
us aren't the same way
they used to be..

i want you back..
not because you've always
been there,
but because my life
seems empty without you..

.. and i'm sorry
not because i've hurt you..
but because i've fallen
in love with you..

..when i was not
supposed to..

Di kaya puwede

Di kaya
puwede yung
pakapanganak
pa lang
kilala
na natin
ang taong
nakatakdang
makasama natin
habam buhay?
..kung puwede
lang sana noh..
para walang
masayang na pagmamahal
sa taong
napadaan
lang pala..

Life won't be real without problems

Life won't be real without problems. Mahirap. But you must always remember that sometimes nauuna ang hirap sa saya. Kaya, ngiti lang, God is control. :)

Sweet words are easy to say

Sweet words are easy to say; sweet things are easy to buy; but sweet people are difficult to find. Life ends when you stop dreaming; hope ends when you stop believing; love ends when you stop crying; friendship ends when you stop sharing. To love without condition.. To talk without intention.. To give without reason.. And to care without exception..

in the journey to life

in the journey to life, the word of GOD is your map,and his wisdom is your compass and when you face battles, let LOVE be your armor and let GOD be your shelter!

the measure of a person

the measure of a person is not how well he prepares for everything to go right, but on how gracefully he moves on after everything goes wrong and everyone has left.

Do not judge and you will not be judged

Do not judge and you will not be judged. Do not condemn and you will not be condemned. Forgive and you will be forgiven. Give and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

Luke6:37-38

As we sail through life

As we sail through life,

never escape rough waters.

SAIL ON,
because calm seas never make SKILLFUL sailors.

May God bless you as your run the RACE of LIFE!

Just because someone does not love you the way you want them to

Just because someone does not love you the way you want them to.. does not mean they do not love you with all they have..
