God has not promised;
Skies always blue,
Sun without rain.
Joy without sorrow,
Peace without pain.
But God has promised;
Strength for the day,
Rest for the labor,
Light for the way.
Grace for trails,
Help from above,
Unfailing sympathy;
And an undying love.
Phuuuu, phhuuuu and pepeng WENT away...Maganda mag blow ng bagyo ang mga Pinoy. and by the PEOPLE's prayer, it blows the storm to move a bit higher and less destructive.
ReplyDeleteGod is merciful.
He promised to saved His people.
He kept His words.
God's words never fail. He allows Trials and disaster come to our life so that we will be closer to Him.
ReplyDeleteWala bang song, para kasing song habang binabasa ko, The Pope. Thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteI am back to business, the water subsided, wala ng bagyo, at may internet na ako. hehe (parang akala mo nasa pinas noh?)
'The Promise'
ReplyDelete-Ito ang pamagat ng contemporary English version ng Bible na dala ko pa galing Philippines.
Ang poetry sa post niyong 'to ay parang summary ng buong Holy Book. U
That's what make us different among races in times of disaster. Religious doctrines and faith almighty ingrained in our psyche optimism and hope that we can afford to smile and carry burden in stride inspite of unsurmountable bad luck. We will survive!
ReplyDeleteThis is a classic hymn that we should continually play even after we've breathed from Ondoy's wrath.
ReplyDelete"God hath not promised smooth roads and wide" but He did give us hope and love and faith.
.. a chasm it is
ReplyDeleteall but shadows
never the end
..but in the darkest of days
YOU are our light
Lord, be our guide
napanuod ko sa balita nung kasagsagan ni ondoy, tumatawid ang mama na hanggang leeg ang baha at may dalang gamit na nakapatong sa ulo nya, may dumaan reporter na nakasakay sa rubber boat. tinanong yung mama.
ReplyDeletehabang tumatawid "kaya natin to! ang sabi na may ngiti!"...paulit ulit hanggang sa makalayo.

You are right, WE WILL SURVIVE, our faith will give us the courage to overcome these calamities, the rain will never dampen our spirit as one race to move forward and help one another in the midst of the storm.

Sa kabila ng mga pinagdadaanang unos nating mga Pilipino, sa pamamagitan ng ating pananampalataya ay hindi tayo nawawalan ng pag-asa na bumangon sa kabila ng matinding kalamidad at may ngiti sa ating labi sa pagharap sa pagharap sa hamon ng buhay tungo sa bagong pag-asa.

Pope sabi nga kaya may positibo kasi may negatibo, kaya maya maganda kasi may pangit. Paano mo makikita ang puti kung wala ito sa itim. At paano mo makikita ang itim kung wala ito sa puti.
ReplyDeleteIt is how we see life?Kung mas titingnan mo ba ang negatibo o positibo? O mas papanig ka ba sa maganda o sa pangit?
Ingat Pope!
