COFFEE REFLECTIONS: Inspirational Source Provider

At this time and age of the “world wide web”, everything is just one click away.

One click is all we need and we can access almost anything and everything we need to know. Most companies, organizations, and even ordinary people have relied so much on the “world wide web” for information and communication, for research and development, for trends and lifestyle finds. Gradually, it has become “our” world. We have become dependent on the internet for almost every aspect of our lives.

My work often requires me to search the internet for news and information and to have ready access for communication. With so many options and sites to go to, it is sometimes a challenge for me to know and understand which truly is the best source of information. There are even times when what I perceive to be the right source actually turns out to be the wrong one.

In the real world, we need to be careful of the sources thru which we try to seek for answers. God is the only true source of everything. In Him we are assured of getting the right information, the only “site” for everything we need to know about life. He is always a click away in responding to all our needs. We have unlimited access to His words and favors. He will never go “offline”, always within our reach... always ready to respond… never shutting us down.

There is nothing wrong with the things of this world. But once we have allowed these things to rule our lives and replace God as the center of it, then it becomes a lifeless, misguided world.
Let God be our main ISP… “Inspirational Source Provider”.

Keep Christ in Christmas: THE LIGHT OF HOPE

"I’m participating in the KEEP CHRIST in CHRISTMAS Blog Link-Up 2013 sponsored by the Catholic Bloggers Network ." Be sure to visit as many links as possible , listed at the bottom of this post. Reflecting on the 1st candle of Advent, the "light of Hope", I was reminded of a story I read as a child. Most of my contemporaries would probably remember "The Little Match Girl" written by Hans Christian Andersen: It was terribly cold and nearly dark on the last evening of the old year, and the snow was falling fast. In the cold and darkness, a poor little girl with bare head and naked feet, roamed through the streets. It is true she had on a pair of slippers when she left home, but they were not of much use. They were very large, so large, indeed, for they had belonged to her Mother and the poor little girl had lost them in running across the street to avoid two carriages that were rolling at a terrible rate. One of the s...

Love at First Sight!

Love is something we experience right from the very moment of our conception. Inside a mother's womb, the first sound a child listens to is the sweet sound of love beating from a mother's heart. The first sight a child first learn to appreciate is the tender gaze of a mother's loving eyes. The first touch a child can feel is the warmth of a mother's embrace. A newborn baby learns to feel love the minute his heart begins to beat. Love simply comes naturally for all of us who are blessed to live. For indeed, LOVE gives birth to LIFE. It is the very essence of our being. It is the very reason for us to fulfill our purpose and destiny.

KEEPING LOVE IN LENT: A Lot About Love... Inspirations from a 4-Year Old

“I’m participating in the Keeping LOVE in LENT Blog Link-Up 2013, hosted by Raising (& Teaching) Little Saints , Truly Rich Mom and Arma Dei: Equipping Catholic Families . We’ll be sharing different ways, tips, stories and real-life experiences that will help us focus on Lenten sacrifices, prayer and good deeds, and how to carry them out with LOVE instead of a GRUMBLE. Please scroll down to the end of the post to see the list of link-up entries." It’s simply amazing how much I can learn from someone so young. A child can definitely teach us - older ones - a lot about love… Out of nowhere, my son told me, “ Faith is my life ”. He was actually referring to his playmate, a girl about his age named, Faith. I honestly didn't know where he learned to say those words, but in the pureness and innocence of his heart he was happy and proud to express it. There was another time he came up to...
