I LOVE YOU ...(End of Chapter 1)

I LOVE YOU ... These are three big secrets of a happy marriage: love yourself; love your partner better than yourself; love Jesus best of all. And the formula works best when we start with Jesus.

J for Jesus Love Jesus best of all

O for Others Love your partner better than yourself

Y for You Love yourself.

- G.O Martinborough

Let us take a final gaze at those glorious words: "Love your God with all your heart" Luke 10:27. When we look into the tender eyes of an earthly lover, isn't that what we say, "I love you with all my heart"? As we gaze into the precious eyes of our heavenly Lover, would that we be inspired to say, "Lord, I love You with all my heart!"

End of Chapter 1, next please!

The wedding

The bride and groom stood before the altar on their wedding day. After the exchange of vows, they knelt to pray. Suddenly, to the dismay of the couple, and the distress of the minister, the solemn hush was broken by the snickering and giggling of a wide-eyed congregation.
What was the reason for such hilarity? Some mischievous person had taken the groom’s new shoes and had written on the bottom of each shoe the word “H-E-L-P!” So when the groom knelt, the audience read the message, “Help! Help!”

Of course, such incident didn’t happen last Tuesday when I attended a wedding of a friend. But whether we want to admit it or not, every love affair needs help! Every wedding needs help! The institution of marriage nowadays is disintegrating at a most alarming rate.

I wish you all the best kuya Sonny and Ate Kathy!

Note from a friend

Note from Kuya Fred-

You're a precious little saint and beautiful daughter of the King. I get the impression that you don't think you're that attractive - and I must tell you little sister - YOU'RE WRONG!!

P.S. I just love the following story and hope it touches your heart too.

---
The only survivor of a shipwreck was washed up on a small, uninhabited island.

He prayed feverishly for God to rescue him.
Every day he scanned the horizon for help, but none seemed forthcoming.
Exhausted, he eventually managed to build a little hut out of driftwood to protect him from the elements, and to store his few possessions.

One day, after scavenging for food, he arrived home to find his little hut in flames, with smoke rolling up to the sky. He felt the worst had happened, and everything was lost.

He was stunned with disbelief, grief, and anger. He cried out, "God! How could you do this to me?"

Early the next day, he was awakened by the sound of a ship approaching the island! It had come to rescue him! "How did you know I was here?" asked the weary man of his rescuers. "We saw your smoke signal," they replied.

The Moral of This Story:

It's easy to get discouraged when things are going bad, but we shouldn't lose heart, because God is at work in our lives, even in the midst of our pain and suffering. Remember that the next time your little hut seems to be burning to the ground. It just may be a smoke signal that summons the Grace of God.

P.S. You may want to consider passing this on, because you never know who feels as if their hut is on fire today.

Alas otso na!

Bakit kanyo? uuwi ako ng eksakto alas-otso. Iyon ang napagkasunduan ng grupo ang "oplan otso-otso" wala nang ala-una, wala nang alas onse.
Tapos o hindi uuwi ang dapat umuwi!
