Back in my childhood,old people I thought were born old.I never thought moms,dads,lolos and lolas were children like me,nor it never came to mind I would turn out just like them.Now it seems I am the way they were,as I looked at them when I was young.Stepping in their shoes seems natural though,but would I be even half the persons they were?Would I be as tender,as compassionate and as forgiving?Their love overwhelmed my being to this day,my strength through the years...my core.
Next week is my day again,one year deeper into my golden years,to wish for anything material is beyond me.God knows I never asked,instead everything I have came and all I did was to thank Him.The life I had wasn't really all roses,what mattered most...He was with me all the way,both joyful and otherwise...
Happiness should never be depended on,nor begged on anyone's "acceptance".Gone were the days of hurting and reducing in tears for any undesirable situation.Rather "acceptance" to life's challenges is more apt!At the end of the day,you'll look back and say..."It was worth fighting for and thank God I survived."You may even thank the people who somehow forced you to be the strong person that you are now.Life is real precious it's a pity wasting it,for whatever little time left you have in this wonderful world,to worthless pleasings!It may be a little late but,as the saying goes and I quote..."Better late than never"!
With all my heart and soul I raise my worship to You alone my Jesus,thank you for my being,thank you for my beloved family,thank you for my fifty one years with You beside me.
To You my God Jesus Christ Almighty...I commend myself once more...through my golden years and beyond.
