No Title

 

 No Title

Losing something hurts, how much more losing if it is a person you love. It can't even be described. There is No Title to it. A couple of weeks ago, I lost my youngest brother. One day more from today is my mother's death anniversary.

There is nothing more I could write about it, not even to create my own prayers that I can post here. Do not get me wrong.  I still pray and my love and belief in God's love and power has never changed. What I did then was to google a prayer ready made for departed souls. Here below, I share with you the prayer fromtheangels.com which the site made available in Google Search:

 

Powerful Prayer for the Departed Souls 

"God our creator,

By Your power, we are born. Your perpetual guidance directs our lives and by Your word we die. Lord, though the departed souls are no longer with us in flesh, I believe that their lives do not end.

I pray on behalf of the souls of my beloved departed and for the dead only known to You. May the departed souls enjoy the company of Christ, who died and rose again. May they rejoice in Your Kingdom, where their tears are wiped away.

Unite us in Heaven one day to sing Your glory forever.

Amen."

 

From The Angels (credit to fromtheangels.com) 

 

A good friend has told me that prayers are the food of the souls of the dead. It never occurred to me such thinking. But then, I agreed. As she said, the dead hope and needs our prayers for them to rest in peace with God.

So I invite you to join me. Let us pray for our departed loved ones every time we pray. To dedicate a prayer on the date they left us, monthly, yearly or whenever we remember them and on the All Soul's Day especially. But, never forget to pray for them. 

 

May the Lord be with us all, the living and the dead.

Por que Gritan y Talmud

 

 

Este categoria es: No Hablo Español. 

Es verdad!

Digo, prefiero hablar en Ingles. Hablo tres idiomas (Ingles, Castellano y Tagalog). Vengo de un pais bilingual. Pero SI, se Castellano apesar de que he aprendido Español en la universidad.

 Ya que estamos en este categoria, me gustaria compartir con ustedes el siguiente. Es un cuento que compartò una maestra de yoga con sus alumnos. Es hermoso. Aquì esta:

 

Un dia, Meher Baba preguntô a sus mandalies lo siguiente:

 "¿Por que la gente se grita cuando estàn enojados?"

Los hombres pensaron unos momentos.

"¿Porque perdemos la calma" - dijo uno - "por eso gritamos."

"Pero ¿por què gritar cuando la otra persona està a tu lado? - preguntò Baba.

No es posible hablarle en voz baja?, ¿Por què gritas a una persona cuando estàs enojado?"

Los hombres dieron algunas otras respuestas pero ninguna de ellas satisfacia a Baba.

Finalmente èl explicò:

"Cuando dos personas estàn enojadas, sus corazones se alejan mucho. Para cubrir esa distancia deben gritar para poder escucharse. Mientras màs enojados estèn, màs fuerte tendràn que gritar  para escucharse uno a otrò a travès de esa gran distancia."

Luego Baba preguntò:

"¿Què sucede cuando dos personas se enamoran? Ellos no se gritan sino que se hablan suavemente,  

¿por què? Sus corazones estàn muy cerca. La distancia entre ellos es muy pequeña."

Baba continuò -

Cuando se enamoran màs aùn, què sucede? No hablan, sòlo susurran y se vuelven aun màs cerca en su amor. Finalmente no necesitan siquiera susurrar, sòlo se miran y eso es todo. Asi es cuan cerca estàn dos personas cuando se aman."

Luego Baba dijo:

Cuando discutan, no dejen que sus corazones se alejen, no digan palabra que los distancien màs, llegarà un dia en que la distancia sea tanta que no encontraràn màs el camino de regreso."

 

 Como tambien segùn las Palabras de TALMUD:

 

Presta atenciòn a tus pensamientos,

Pues se haràn palabras.

Presta atenciòn a tus palabras,

Pues se haràn actos.

Presta atenciòn a tus actos,

Pues se haràn costumbres.

Presta atenciòn a tus costumbres,

Pues se haràn tu caràcter.

Presta atenciòn a tu caracter, 

Pues se harà tu destino.

What's More in The Pen

 

 

¿Por què gritan? / Palabras de Talmud 

 

 "¿Por que la gente se grita cuando estàn enojados?"

Los hombres pensaron unos momentos...

 

Presta atenciòn a tus pensamientos,

Pues se haràn palabras...

Oraciòn para La Hora de la Decisiòn -Mahatma Gandhi

Ensèñame que perdonar es lo mas grande del fuerte y 

que la venganza es la señal màs primitiva del dèbil.

The Fifth Year!

 

 

 The Fifth Year and still going!

August 2 is the Anniversary Date of this blog.  Though today is already the 6th. But a great day! Today, the 6th of August is the birth date of my bff (best friend forever) as long been termed for lasting friendship. A golden friendship. Yes! to my counting, 51 years!

So, Happy Birthday Hermie!

 Hopeffully with God's blessing, the same lasting friendship I'll have with you, my readers,  through this blog. Well, of course, it depends on Blogger of Google. HaHa. Let's pray and hope for the best.

First, I want to thank you all, those who still keeps on following or maybe peeping on, once in a while in this blog. As long as you are there, The Pen lives. You are the breath, so to speak.

To celebrate the Fifth Year, let me share with you my "Secret" as described by Ralph Spaulding. This is the version I have noted and copied way long ago. If you google his name, you'll find the most updated, but here, these lines have been "my secret": 

 

SECRET

By Ralph Spaulding

 

I meet God in the morning

When my day was at its best;

And His presence came like sunrise,

Like glory in my breast.

 

All day long His presence lingered,

All day long He stayed with me;

And we sailed in perfect calmness,

O'er a very troubled sea.

 

So I think I knew the secret,

Learned from many a troubled way;

You must seek Him in the morning,

If you want Him through the day.

 

 

There it is. Finally posted in my blog. 

 

Above all, seek and find GOD first. Without God, nothing is possible nor impossible. 

 

Jesus himself urged to ask, as it is said in Matthew Chapter 7: 7,8:

 

"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks,the door will be opened." 

 

Here more, I share the words of Henry Kaiser:

 

"First, decide what you want to do. Then have the courage to start toward your goal

no matter how impossible it looks."

 

More from Frances de Sales:

 

"Whatsoever happens, abide steadfast in a determination to cling simply to God."

 

Last, but not the least, Simple-Me's slogan from Oliver Goldsmith:

 

"Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall."

 

There they are, my dear readers, some lines I could share with you. May all these

comes at the right moment and time in your live's space. 

 

God blessings, guidance and protection to All, and to The Pen.

 

 

More Coming From The Pen. Stay Tuned!😊💝
