Quote of the Day

Fear is an illusion. Our craziness, paranoia, anxiety, and trauma are literally all imagined. That is not to say they don't exist for us as human beings. They do. But our fear is not our ultimate reality, and it does not replace the truth of who we really are. —Excerpted from A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of A Course in Miracles

Inspirational Story

Let not your heart be troubled. . . . John 14:1

After my cardiologist recommended that I take a heart test, I learned it would take days, maybe a week, to get his report. In the meantime, the possibilities kept turning in my mind. Another angioplasty? Open-heart surgery? It began to get the best of me until I remembered my days as a young man with Walgreen Drugstores. Back then, when they had soda fountains, I worked in one as a waiter. I learned to make milkshakes, hot fudge sundaes and tuna-salad sandwiches. After the first few days, I felt at home—except when carrying cups of coffee to the diners. Protocol was to serve it in a dry saucer; spills were poor form. Try as I might, I couldn’t walk across the room without spilling some. It was embarrassing. I would carefully watch the coffee as I walked, only to see it dribble over. The more I tried, the more my hands shook. A co-worker helped me out. “Don’t look at the coffee,” she advised. “Focus on where you’re going. The cup will take care of itself.” Her advice didn’t make sense to me, but in desperation I gave it a try. It took all my willpower to look straight ahead. But to my relief, when I set down the cup, the saucer was dry. By thinking so much about my heart test, I was letting the “What ifs?” spill into my mind. So instead of dwelling on them, I concentrated on my work and the tasks of the day and trusted in God. And like that cup of coffee, the test results came out okay. Lord, my life is never free of worries. Remind me that focusing on the positive cuts them down to size. By Richard Schneider

QUOTE OF THE DAY

Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” Galatians 6:9

October is harvest time, reminding us that the good earth’s abundance can always be relied upon. In a similar but much greater way, God’s love and kindness are constant and dependable. When we have problems and challenges – and we all do, at some time or another – we can turn to God and cast our cares upon Him, knowing that He is ever-present and ever-mindful of the needs of His children.

Thank you Lord for all the blessings

It's been a year since Kcat and I started our search to make one of her wish to come true. . .for her to hear again. . . It was first week of August when Kcat told me her conversation with God asking Him about GOD's TIME. 2008 was God's answer to her. In mid August, Kcat found in the net an aswer, the Auditory Brainstem Implant, a device that would help her hear the world again. We both started doing thorough research on this. with the help of her ENT and Neurosurgeon, I was able to meet the medical team who did the ABI here in the Phils. Then I made thorough research on ABI and more than researching, I was able to get medical advise from one of the author of ABI, Dr. Derald Brackmann of House Ear Institute in LA.
