Clairest Of Them.....All (thoughts of a lighthouse )

Here are some of my thoughts on Proverbs 31 about the Woman of Noble Character..... Speaks up on behalf of those who cannot speak for themselves V.8-9 8 Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves; ensure justice for those being crushed. 9 Yes, speak up for the poor and helpless, and see that they get justice Is dependable, reliable v.11 1 1 Her husband can trust her, and she will greatly enrich his life . Brings good and not harm to her family/ household v.12 1 2 She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life . Loves hard work v. 13-17 1 3 She finds wool and flax and busily spins it. 1 4 She is like a merchant’s ship, brin ging her food from afar. 1 5 She gets up before dawn to prepare breakfast for her household and plan the day’s work for her servant girls. 1 6 She goes to inspect a field and buys it; with her earnings she pl...

I was amazed how my friend Kiko has risen up and established KC in Baguio. If you are reading this my friend then just let me honor you this way. Kiko was discipled by my bro Jehu and he was an average guy back in fort. We used to hang out a lot 2 years back because of the same circle of friends. His cell leader Stuart and my cell leader then, Rose are VLI classmates. Back then, he hasn’t really taken the role of leadership because he is still kindda hesitant. Looking at him , now in Baguio, after establishing four group leaders and teams for Kid’s Church, and taking the pattern of KC Fort to Baguio, he has done a marvelous job of stepping up to the need and rising up to the occasion. He has raised young, vibrant leaders and looking at them and interacting with them is like speaking to the same people back in gale and fort. It’s the same genes, same spirit, same values- I am amazed! I was telling Kiko hours before going back to Manila that “Discipleship is really the key”. Once you are...

I remember my dad with this song...he loves to sing this when he was still alive. My dad is the most romantic man I have ever seen. Even on his death bed, he would write notes to me and my sister saying, "I love you" before his last breath, and he would whisper those same words to my mom. It's hard not to miss him. My mom's stories until this very day cannot be equaled. He was a gentleman, a sentimentalist, a journalist, a brilliant poet, a scriptwriter, a director, a producer, a businessman, a singer, a comic. My best memory of him- He loved only my mom until the very end. To you my daddy, this song I used to laugh at now sounds so meaningful to me. ..My dad has such good taste. I love you daddy! I know you have been enjoying heaven, God and eternity for six years now but your memory is forever etched in my heart.

Slow down for three minutes to read this. It is so worth it. What does Love mean? A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds, "What does love mean?" The answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined. See what you think: ____ "When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint her toenails anymore. So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That's love." Rebecca- age 8 _____ "When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You just know that your name is safe in their mouth." Billy - age 4 (I love this one) _____ "Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other" Karl - age 5 _____ "Love is when you go out to eat and give so...

I wonder why some people just can't talk and say what they feel..... That's the first sin of Adam, he didn't speak up. It's not that, I think you would know I just don't feel all the things I do for you Baby that's a clue that I am true It's just unspoken but i mean it, yeah But if you look into my eyes You will see what's inside I don't have to say it All the things that you want to hear from me And all the things that you want me to say Baby say it Well if you want to hear me say it That I want you I would say it a hundred times a day 'Til your heart will drown away Just tell me, do I have to It's not that i'm too shy to say About the words that come out my way All the tears that you shed I guess I have to pay for If I can only see All the things that you want to hear from me And all the things that you want me to say Baby say it Well if you want to hear me say it That I want you, I need you, I love you A hundred times a day (I would sa...
