Coffee Musings Under the Maple Tree

(Part 7)

 

Ø  Those who have deep faith and trust in the Lord God possess eternal hope. For the Lord promised: "I will be with you until the end of time." (Matthew 28:20)

 

Ø  Greater is the love of God that no man's love can equal. Seek God's love and nothing else. With God, every tear shall turn into joy. Every disappointment shall be lessons known and learned. Every dream shall come to fruition if He wills it. God’s love is enough.

 

Ø  May God grant us the blessing of light to see how, by our actions and non-actions, we have caused pain to some people. May God grant us the sensitivity towards others' feelings, and the realization that piety is not enough to enter the Kingdom of God. May God grant us the gift of seeking forgiveness To Him and to others who we have hurt willingly or not.

 

Ø  Make me always be grateful to those who were your instruments for me to receive the things that came from You, O Lord, My God.

 

Ø  One of the most agonizing experiences we may have been when we develop a special bond of friendship with another person and then circumstances would lead both persons to part ways. The problem with hello is goodbye, as the lyrics of a song go.

 

Ø  O God hear my plea. In your Most Holy Name, I humbly ask for your mercy and continuous love and forgiveness.

 

Ø  You will always be in my heart. Forever loving you. Until we meet again in the hereafter.

 

Ø  When we offend God, His divine compassionate love embraces us with forgiveness, and we are made whole again. It is a spiritual experience that no amount of words can explain the mystery of our faith in the goodness of God.

 

Ø  God send me angels every moment of my life. They are in the form of my family members and friends. Through them I realized how much God loves me. Through them I felt that God is always by my side.

 

Ø  If that someone was the one who truly loved you unconditionally, you'll never forget that person...would even long to be with that person even in the hereafter.

 

Ø  The heart will cry for some time but it will learn to beat again, and hopefully, love again.

 

Ø  For someone who loved and cared so very dearly, separation breaks the heart.

 

Ø  And with sorrow comes joy....as with tears, comes a beautiful refreshing smile to a new dawn, a new hope, and a new beginning.

 

Ø  There is no place like home. The only place where I am secured and loved for who I am. Where love is authentic, no deception, no pretense. Where I find tremendous support and understanding. Where I am encouraged to rise up again after falling out of love.

  DELAYED “FLIGHT”: It’s All God’s Plan (January 3, 2024) Almost every Christmas season, DELAYED signs, and worst is Cancelled notice, have become a regular scenario in most, if not all, airports all over the world for both local and international flights. Just recently before Christmas, a good number of domestic flights were recorded in the Philippines that cause quite a lot of different reactions from passengers, mostly of anger and frustration. The stress that the passengers felt was simply indescribable. Imagine all the planning they make like – applying for leave from work; searching and booking for flights, bus rides, and/or sea travel; packing belongings to bring; buying “pasalubong” and gifts; and more things needed in their journey or vacation. In some cases, though, a feeling of resignation and frustrating acceptance were all some passengers expressed bearing the discomforts caused by the delays. Whether out of anger and frustration or resignation and acceptance, no

  Silence is Golden (November 22, 2023) In a world of advance technology and science, amidst the popularity of the use of various social media, and in every nook and cranny of the metropolis, silence is indeed golden. Noise pollution has become an accepted norm of daily living, and continuous movements of people and things around has become the core of progress. More and more cities have become like a “city that never sleeps.” To rest and be quiet even for just a few minutes has become a luxury in man’s daily living.   The world’s three major religions – Christianity, Judaism, and Islam – have emphasized the value of silence in their Holy Books – the Bible, the Torah, the Quran, as well as noted scholars and teachers of different faiths have written and/or spoken about it. “God’s will for me is to live an honorable life that should silence ignorant people. I am free to live however I choose. I choose to be a Servant of the Living God which means that most often silence is golden.

CALLED TO BE HEALERS TO ONE ANOTHER

  CALLED TO BE HEALERS TO ONE ANOTHER (January 26, 2024)   Reflection on the Gospel (Mark 1:29-39)   Question: Why did Peter deny knowing Jesus three times? Answer: Because Peter was so mad at Jesus for healing his other in-law.   Of course, that was only a joke. It was a joke revolving around the relationship between in-laws. Jesus healed the mother in-law of Peter from fever. The succeeding parts of the Gospel, Jesus continued with his ministry of healing – casting away demons, curing people from various illnesses and diseases, and many more. At the end of the day, Jesus came to a secluded place to pray and commune with His Father in heaven. Then immediately after dawn, Jesus begun his healing miracles and preaching.   We see, however, that at the end of the day, and even before the sun rises at dawn, Jesus come to a place to pray. Note that habit of Jesus – before and after a day’s activities, Jesus always find time to pray.   We may not be “healers” ourselve
