Guide

When Marco Polo joined his father in his journey to the East, they met all kinds of perilous obstacles. In one instance where Marco barely survived his life-threatening experience, one night he sat down, deep in  thought as he gazed the clear sky littered with brilliantly shinning stars, he asked himself if joining his father in his journey a correct decision. His lonesome silence was noticed by his father, coming and sitting on his side, and he asked him what he was thinking, or if he misses home. Marco did not answer. His father looked at him like he could read his mind.

His father looked up the sky. Marco followed suit. He pointed to the sky at the three bight stars lined up he said, 'If you are ever afraid, if you doubt your place in this world, follow the three sisters, and they will lead you home.'

From that time on, and from time to time, Marco gazes up the three sisters and is always comforted that no matter how long the journey will be, wherever life has brought him be, there will always be home to go back to.

Humble Heart

A humble heart knows how to deal with his feelings,

     If hurt, he forgives,
     If hopeless, he prays,
     If in love, he stays calm,
     If sad, he smiles,
     If corrected, he accepts,
     If doubtful, he believes,
     If rejected, he seeks God's love.

We are blessed to be a blessing to everyone!

Remember

As we step towards the road that lies ahead, let us remember,

     - with delight, the PLACES we've been to,
     - with fondness, the PEOPLE who inspired us to become better,
     - with gratefulness the WISHES and FAVORS that were generously granted us, and
     - with thankfulness, the LIFE's LESSONS we learned along the way.

Let us keep them in mind, they are our guideposts to a happy, wonderful, fruitful, peaceful, and memorable life.

God knows

God knows what our silent heart wants,
even if we do not include it in our prayers.

He hears what our heart whispers,
He may not give it to us now,
but someday when we least expect it,
things will happen in the best possible way.

Greatness

Greatness in life is NOT about how high we can jump over others,
or how quickly we can overtake the rest,
nor how huge we have acquired more than the rest.

BUT it is in the number of times we STOP along the way
to reach out to someone in need.

For it is in GIVING that we receive,
in loving that we are loved,
and in humility that we can be unified.

Footprints...

You cannot leave footprints,

if you walk on tiptoes...

This is what living life means.

You can never get what you want

if you are too scared to get hurt...
