Let your heart love and laugh today ü …..

Let your heart love today. Not tomorrow but today.  For love shouldn't be made to wait if it can be given today.

Give your heart a chance to laugh each day. No matter how soft or loud it laughs, joy shall flow within you…and into the hearts of others.

Cherish the miracle that comes with the sunrise and greet each new day with a smiling heart.  It’s so wonderful to be alive!

Laugh each day with all your heart and just let yourself jump up and down in joy.  A soul out there may thank you for it.

Love is the blue of the ocean and the sound of the waves.  Love is the touch of the breeze and the gold of the setting sun. Love is the beauty and kindness of you and the wonder and warmth of me.  I love our love…and I love you...

Maligayang Kaarawan!!

I woke up really early this morning (what a great feat for someone who’s not a morning person like me…yay!).  Thought I’d colour my hair.  I deserve some pampering, anyway, it’s my birthday.  Yes. Today. Is. My. Birthday. Yay!

After a few hours, I checked my watch.  9 o’clock.  Just right on time.  So after grabbing a quick brekkie and checking the greetings sent by some of my friends, I drove off to church for the 10am Mass ‘in style’ with the beautiful sunshiny spring weather in company!

Wow, blessing after blessing!  

Need I say more? 

Parking space right in front of the church (reserved by the Lord for me!)  Birthday chat with my beau before the Mass.  Early morning greetings from friends (old and new!)  One of my fave church songs Morning Has Broken sung as opening hymn in the Mass.  The Mass celebrated by one of my fave priests.  Family and true friends.  Warm hugs, orange roses (one of my favorites!) and wonderful pressies from amazing friends.  More birthday wishes and greetings from family and friends.  Good food and the lovely beach.

I know these are such a cliché.  

But nothing’s a cliché when it comes to God’s outpouring of blessings!  Especially on one’s birthday!

So before my birthday ends tonight, I lift up my thanksgiving and praise to an awesome God who never ceases to amaze me with simple and grand blessings each day!

I just feel so very special even in my smallness.  

For I am blessed and loved by an infinite God!

Salamat Lord sa isang maligayang kaarawan!

😊We are what we say and think we are...we will be what we say and think we will be 😊 

Thank You Lord for blue skies and a life of miracles….

dream

i dreamed my dreams

i saw miracles,

 the Lord is my help.

blessings

showers and rainbows

moving clouds and sunrises,

oh wonders from above.

believe

a heart that trusts

 even beneath a starless sky,

 He makes all things possible.

faith

chasing rainbows and butterflies

where art thou treasures of the heart,

i close my eyes and i see.

miracles

hues of blessings

in the far horizon,

a heart that hopes could see.

brand new shoes

i love shoes.  and i like wearing different styles.  many of my shoes are comfortable and durable, but others have given me blisters (ouch!) and some did not last long.

as i tidied up my shoes and other stuff during the Christmas holidays, i couldn’t help but look back on the many journeys i have travelled with my good old shoes.  

the worn-out ones speak of stories of my long walks through trial-ridden roads.  the ones that are still looking mint tell tales of treks on easy, smooth paths.

the new year holds uncertainties.  there will be unknown roads i will need to take and new tomorrows to face.  but i know that i just have to walk by faith and not by sight (2 corinthians 5:7).  i just have to believe and hope like abraham did (romans 4, hebrews 11).  because the Lord will see me through anything.  

and with God as my Travel Companion carrying me through my journeys, i know my shoes will always be as good as brand new! (yahooo! ü)
