Coffee Musings Under the Maple Tree

(Part 12)  

*     Sometimes you need to revisit some places where you made memories with a special friend with whom you once said "hello" but for some reason you have become strangers again to one another. This time the visit is to say "goodbye" to the memories. The feeling of peace replaces the pain. It's therapeutic, believe me.


*     Forgiveness comes after a goodbye ... then peace draws in the heart where pain used to linger. There is hope. There is joy. There are blessings after the rain.

 

*     Healing of the heart comes when you allow God to envelop your being. No storm is strong enough to withstand the power of prayer. Keep the faith.

 

*     A special bond begins with a gentle smile and a warm “hello.”

 

*     Honesty is one of the firm foundations of a loving relationship.

 

*     Constant communication between persons in a relational bond is the bridge that shortens the distance that separates them.

 


*     If you care, show it.

If you love, express it.

If you apologize, mean it.

If you forgive, convey it.

 

*     Silent treatment must be done with the intention of giving your own self some space and time to check your own emotions. It should never be used to render emotional turmoil towards the other.

 


*     Communication between people in a relationship is an expression of true love and care. Silence, oftentimes, can mean that the end is coming. Worst, it reveals that love is ended.

  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
