SOURCE OF ENCOURAGEMENT




Do you know the difference between the kite and the word? If you do? this article is for you and if you don't?  much more you need to read this article.

It is fun and exciting to see kites flying in the sky, with different colors, sizes and designs during kites festival. Awesome!, Fantastic!, and Amazing! are some words you will hear from thousands of spectators watching the said event.

Words on the other hand, when uses properly bring joy, comfort, encouragement, and life. But if you are not careful,  it will destroy others life. More families and friendship are broken and destroyed because of inappropriate use of words. So it brings life and death, curse and blessing to ones life.

Now, let me differentiate to you the difference between the KITE and the WORD. The kite when you let it fly and reaches its highest peak you can pull it back to you anytime you want through the string connected to it.

On the other side, when you let the word fly, it goes directly to its intended destination, and you have no other option to pull it back to you. We often hear this saying; "more talk, more mistake". When nothing good comes out your mouth it is better not to talk at all.

As we start a new chapter of our life in 2011, it is my wish that every words that comes out in our mouth will be a source of encouragement and inspiration to other people.

"SALUBONG" - SEMANA SANTA 2019

I WAS RAISED AS ROMAN CATHOLIC BY MY PARENTS. WHEN I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL, I WAS CONVERTED TO BAPTIST. THEN MY JOURNEY AS A BIBLE BELIEVER AND MY CURIOSITY TO KNOW RELIGION BECOMES STRONGER.  I FOUND MYSELF STUDYING THE BIBLE IN BETHANY BAPTIST BIBLE COLLEGE IN DIAN ST. MAKATI CITY. THERE, I FINISHED MY BASIC BIBLE COURSE. THEN I PURSUE MY BACHELOR OF THEOLOGY DEGREE IN CENTRAL BIBLE COLLEGE. I ALSO TOOK SPECIAL COURSES IN PRESBYTERIAN THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY WHERE I FINISH MY SPECIAL COURSE IN THEOLOGY. I HEARD ABOUT "SALUBONG" DURING SEMANA SANTA, AND MAYBE, JUST MAYBE, SEEN THIS DURING MY CHILDHOOD BUT MY MEMORIES HAS BEEN ERASED BY SO MANY NEW INPUTS ENTERED TO MY BRAIN. FROM A REFORMED CATHOLIC VIEW AND FROM WHAT I WITNESSED THIS MORNING, LET ME TELL YOU THE STORY OF THE "SALUBONG".  THE WHOLE CHRISTIANITY WAS SADDENED BY THE NEWS OVER THE DEATH OF JESUS CHRIST THROUGH CRUCIFIXION MUCH MORE MARY THE MOTHER OF JESUS BEAR THE PAIN.

WHAT HAS BEEN BROKEN IS BROKEN

"Nothing is ever truly broken". That is the philosophy behind the ancient Japanese Arts of Kintsugi, which repairs smashed pottery by using beautiful seams of gold. This practice started way, way back in the 15th Century when Japanese Military Commander Ashikaga Yoshimasa accidentally broke one of his favorite Chinese tea pot. (picture taken from BBC Arts Get Creative) Because he loves so much the tea pot, Commander Yoshimasa went to repair shop to get it fixed.But he was dismay over the result. From then on, Japanese Craftsmen come up with more pleasing method of repair. As you can see it from the illustration above and because of the treatment and application being applied no trace of evidence that it was formerly broken into pieces. I wish that this method of fixing broken teapots either made of glass or ceramic can also be applied in our relationship once it was broken into pieces.
