Love, The True Essence

"Love, the True Essence"
By Val Sarte


Jacob, the son of Isaac is about to find a wife and was advised by his father to go to a "Paddan-aram" and there he will find his wife.

The first encounter between Jacob and Rachel was "Love At First Sight" this is what we called today. When Jacob see Rachel, he came near to her rolled over the stone covering the mouth of the well and watered her flocks then kneel-down and kissed her.


Jacob loves so much Rachel and served Laban, the father of Rachel for seven years in exchange of Rachel. At this point, let us make our imagination works and picture out when "Alden Richards poured water into the water tank as agreed upon by him and "lola nidora" with these famous lines - "ang tunay na pag-ibig pinaghihirapan"


After completing the long seven years of hard work, Jacob went to his supposed father-in-law to marry Rachel. But Laban deceived Jacob and give Leah instead. It was too late for Jacob to recognize the woman he was lying with.


He confronted his father-in-law about the deception. Laban explained that it is not their custom to give the younger before the first born.

Because Jacob really love Rachel, he worked for https://www.facebook.com/My-blogs-corner-1639649829589869/ another seven years in exchange of her and the rest is history proving to us the true essence of love.

"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.
