One Morning Note


This morning, I am led to write another note:

I greet you with these verses from the Holy Bible in New King James Version (NKJV):
 
“Trust in the Lord, and do good; dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness.” – Psalm 37:3

 “Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He shall give you the desires of your heart” – Psalm 37:4
 “Commit your way to the Lord, trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass.” – Psalm 37:5
“He shall bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your justice as the noonday.” – Psalm 6
“Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him; Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass.” – Psalm 37:7
“Cease from anger, and forsake wrath; Do not fret – it only cause harm” – Psalm 37:8
“For evildoers shall be cut off, but those who wait on the Lord, they shall inherit the earth.” – Psalm 37:9
“For yet a little while and the wicked shall be no more; Indeed, you will look carefully for his place, but it shall be no more.” – Psalm 37:10
“But the meek shall inherit the earth, and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.” – Psalm 37:11

These verses are reminders that we are in this world but not of this world. Evil things happen around us but we have a God whom we can trust and who is faithful to make things pass --- in His perfect time.

As one of the few professing Christians at work, we are to make a difference in the lives of the people who does not know the Lord. We are to be His witnesses. We carry His light and share it to people in darkness. We don’t have to be in a faraway land to spread the love of God. Here, this place, is our mission field.

I end this letter with a prayer that may the Lord give us the strength to face whatever challenges we have now. It is not an easy road but we know that we have a God who keeps His word. We are never alone. May God’s peace and joy continue to reign in our hearts. And may we always find time to be grateful. In Jesus’ name, amen.

One Mini-Series Film

I have never imagined myself to be so enamored by a TV mini-series until watching Seeking Persephone. I came across SP through a platform which has been showing snippets from the film in my social media reels. Out of curiosity, I told myself I might just watch it to give myself a break.  At first, I thought it was just a one-time movie but after realizing it was a mini-series, I convinced myself to give its first episode a try. Well, as it turned out, I watched the entire movie in one sitting to finish all four episodes in less than four hours! And the truth is, I still can't get over it after binge watching it. Since then, I've been hooked! I've rewatched it over and over again for the nth time --- yes, nth because I've lost count on the number of times I've seen it considering that I just recently joined the bandwagon almost three weeks ago, to be exact. After rewatching it, I could see more nuances and have been connecting the dots to unfold the hidden emotions ...

One April month

It was a one-of-a-kind trip cycle , if there’s such a phrase as that as my good-natured Filipina friend and I flew down to South Florida from the Northeast. We went around the place by land. Then we crossed the sea on board a cruise ship to Bahamas. We went back to Florida on cruise, toured the city by land again before heading back home by plane. It all happened in three different places for seven nights and eight days. One nature tripping day Our trip to Ft. Lauderdale, FL last April 14-17 was mostly spent on nature tripping. My friend and I went to a fishing port somewhere in Palm Beach Shore; we had a chance to see different kinds and sizes of fishes in the open sea aquarium while looking at them from the boardwalk. The experience was like snorkeling without getting wet or seeing them in a glass bottom boat minus the boat ride. There were fishing boats for rent and a lot of yachts on deck. There was even a family of four who went out fishing and came back with different sizes of k...
