#4 The Dead Communicating with the Living

I haven’t experienced communicating with the living yet but my Mom had an experience and it was her unforgettable experience. Her experience was really horrible and when she told me that, I really couldn’t sleep and kept on imagining the story. We know that there are different ways sometimes the souls show. Some are bad and some are not. My mom told me if someone experiencing those things it means that God is not with you because you don’t trust Him and you are really afraid. I believe that dead people are communicating with the livings. For me, the reason is, we know many people are mourning with their dead love ones, in order to release the pain maybe God let the soul show for them not to be desperate and depressed. It is just my thoughts and I am not really sure about this. I heard a lot of stories from my relatives and even with my family. That’s why no doubt it happens really true. But other people said that it is the devil that shows dead souls to the living in order them to be scared and kill them with high blood. That’s why many people are dying with the experiences like this. I never had an experience but I really believe that the dead is really communicating with the living.

#2 Soon to BE...

To be honest, I'm still in a process of becoming a good reader and writer. I admit to myself that I still have to improve my skills in reading and in writing. I know that it is not too late to improve and on becoming a good one. As for now, I wouldn't able to consider myself a good one because as what I've said it is still on a process. I know I have to practice and exert more time and effort to be able to be considered. I cannot pretend to be a good one because I'm just fooling myself . I lack in reading comprehension and I'm not entirely a wide reader. I read more often but I couldn't finish a book. That's why I know in myself that for now I can't consider myself being in that position. But I believe that one day I will proudly say I'm considering myself a good reader and writer. I know that I have the ability on becoming that type of person. I just need practice and initiative. I have to take risk because I believe in the saying, 'no pain, no GAIN'. =)

#3 I stop to say thank you Mom and Dad

Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. "Honor your father and mother" -- which is the first commandment with a promise -- that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth. ~ Ephesians 6: 1-3

           

            As a son or daughter to our parents, how do we value them as our guardians who raise us up with sacrifices and pains? As their child we never really knew how the way they raise us up. We never knew how painful it is just to provide all our needs and give all our wants. But have we paid them back for all the things that they have done and given to us? Have we said “thank you” to them? Or even made them proud? Hmm. We have to think of it.

Nowadays, teenagers or even older people who still have their parents with them don’t honor their parents anymore. Most of us, youths, no longer have appreciations with all the things that our parents did to us. We don’t even say thank you at all. Honoring  our parents is the greatest gift that we can give to them, showing them how we are blessed to have them as their parents. We have to be thankful to God for giving them to us. We really don’t deserve them but God put us, each one of us, to our own parents. Because there is always a purpose why we have them now as our parents. I know that all our mothers had a great sacifice on giving birth to us. There is a possibility on dying while giving birth that’s why it is a great sacrifice. We have to pay them in return because they deserve it. We have to keep in mind that valuing them is equivalent to glorifing God ‘s name because it is the commandment of God. And it is the FIRST COMMANDMENT. So in all the things that we will do, we have to give our best to make our parents proud. That they may say one day that ‘its all worth it’.

As a daughter of my mother and my father, I committed a  promise to myself that one day I will make them more proud and pay them back in return. After 10 years im gonna show to them how worth their sacrifices were when they were raising me to become a well-disciplined daughter. I will keep their advices because I believe through their advices I will succeed in everything that I do. And it is a gift to follow all their advices because it leads to a prosperous life that we all wanted ever since and also it leads us to God. We must not be ashamed of having them as our parents. We must be proud that we have them and thank God for it.

Through following all their advices is a sign of thankfulness because it shows how they love and care about me. Im giving my best in studying so that I can make them proud. Im thankful because they are my parents. If I will be given a choice to change parents. I will really say no to that because Im already contented having them in my life. And showing them the filial piety of one’s individidual is what I’ve said, a greatest gift that we can offer or give to our parents.
