Coffee Musings Under the Maple Tree

(Part 13)


v The pain hurts so much that the heart bleeds profusely. The mind bothered by the memories. The trauma may linger but eventually will be overcome. Prayer brings about healing. It reveals the lesson we must learn. And that is what matters most.

v One person hurts you. Another person will heal you. Prayer. Patience. The one who will help you move on and pick up the broken pieces is the one who will make you love again.

v True love waits. And when it comes, it brings with it joy and peace, love and care that will bring you the best smile on your face once again.

v One who truly loves, feels the hurt the most.

v A deceitful person will never find true love.

v Piety and any expressions of faith find authenticity in the way one treats others.

v God sees what is truly in your heart. And what is in your heart manifests in your actions.

v You may say that you love God and follow His precepts, but God sees every move you make. He knows your true intention.

v We may deceive other persons, but we can never deceive God.

v Why think of the Last Day when this day and the days to come are so important on Judgment Day? Prepare yourself for the Last day by being truthful and charitable today and the days ahead.

v Love begets love. Honesty is complimented with fidelity. Sincerity produces care and understanding. Forgiveness emanates from humility.

v A gift given from the heart does not need appreciation. A grateful person, however, always acknowledges every little thing received. A simple “thank you” is not difficult to say, is it?

v We are truly blessed when we are loved unconditionally by someone who we continually neglect and disregard. Realization comes late.

v Ghosting and gaslighting are the evils of today’s world. Silent treatment that is unnecessarily prolonged means that love and care never existed at all. Walking away is an unspoken closure.

v At different degrees, the blocker and the one blocked experience emotional turmoil and mental torture which are not necessary had they reach out to each other and communicate.

v Silence is not always golden.

  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
