The Guy, His Headphones & His Life..

Dear Headphones,

Changing, Saving and impacting lives, ONE person at a time.

I actually got the idea from my Starbucks training. Which was, "Making a Person's Day, One Cup at a time."

Somehow it has inspired me to write about how each and everyone's good and caring actions. Unknowing or knowingly can affect another person's life. You may think that you just did something nice, or just sent a simple SMS, or maybe someone watched you while you helped others, but it has a direct or indirect effect on another person, and that person could see you as the world to them.

One action, one sentence, can impact a life. What may seem as a simple gesture that brings a smile to the face of a person, could be a smile where that person never forgets. So never fail to bring smiles to others. Never fail to ask when someone is down. Never fail to just include that person. Because just one action, can mean the world to that person.

Impact someone's life, today.

Apparently, the word "Give", highlighted in red, portrays some of the many ways how the word can be used. In my mind, this word gave way to my own meanings.

It came to me, as what can YOU give to GOD. Upon realizing that God never asked for anything. I sat down and cried. Why? Because it occurred to me that God never asked for anything and all he ever did, was Give. He gave us our wealth, he gave us our family, he gave us our friends. Best yet, he gave us his only son, Jesus. So when you think about it, What we think we sacrifice alot, can never be compared to what he has given to us. All the more, should we just make time, make opportunities, to give back to HIM. Just 2 times a week, to free up to praise and worship him. Just a bit to build his church, can never be compared to what he has done or has in stored for your life! So think about it the next time you say you're tired for church, because he gave you that opportunity to have fun. Think about it the next time you say you're saving to shop, he gave you that money to enjoy. Treasure and make time for HIM, for he treasured and gave his time for you, 24/7, making sure you're safe, making sure you had enough to eat, most importantly, moulding you into what you are today.

Next, the word "GIVE" came as What God can Give You. Have you ever thought of asking for things other than the item you want, the amount of money you want, the girl to notice you, a new guitar, etc etc? Instead of those, have you ever asked for HIM? Ever since the start of time, HE made you. He moulded you, and apparently, you have his DNA. Although everyone has a different set of DNA of God because you were made in his like, we are all children of God. Children would ask their Father's to teach them things, learn new skills, love them, show them the right way. Have you ever asked our heavenly father for these?

Try this, instead of For example, "God give me a new Guitar"

God Give me your wisdom
God Give me your knowledge
God Give me your Way To Care

There are many many other meanings to the word "Give", But think about it today, What God can Give you & What you can give to God.

A friend..

I went blog browsing and I stumbled upon this blog. Though she won't read this post, I just felt like saying my part.

Terri.

A girl who 1st tried to open my eyes to see my maker.

Her blog spoke of troubled times although not explicitly written, showed and explained why I never saw much of her in classes last sem. I may be wrong.

But I just want to say this even if its too late or long over.
She always reminded me of the positiveness that could be found almost anywhere. That nothing could go wrong, even if it did, there was always a way out. We didn't speak much to each other, but through her actions, it always seemed she was strong, and that anything the world threw at her, she'd just take it on with a smile. I've learned a great deal from her throughout my poly years. What's most importantly, I've learnt responsibility from her. Thanks Terri.

If its needed, its my turn. Should she need any help at all, a listening ear, or a helping hand, I'll be there.

(:

Ok all, I should get some sleep. Take care and smiles!!!!
