Story of a dad and son! ♥

noreply@blogger.com (millet ♥) — Tue, 26 Apr 2011 12:26:00 +0000

A story worth sharing………………….

4 years ago, an accident took my beloved away and very often I wonder, how does my wife, who is now in the heavenly realm, feel right now? She must be feeling extremely sad for leaving a husband who is incapable to taking care of the house and the kid. ‘cos that is the exact feeling that I have, as I feel that I have failed to provide for the physical and emotional needs of my child, and failed to be the dad and mom for my child.

There was one particular day, when I had an emergency at work. Hence, I had to leave home whilst my child was still sleeping. So thinking that there was still rice leftovers, I hastily cooked an egg and left after informing my sleepy child.

With the double roles, I am often exhausted at work as well as when I am home. So after a long day, I came home, totally drained of all energy. So with just a brief hug and kiss for my child, I went straight into the room, skipping dinner. However, when I jumped into my bed with intention of just having a well-deserved sleep, all i heard and felt was broken porcelain and warm liquid! I flipped open my blanket, and there lies the source of the ‘problem’… a broken bowl with instant noodles and a mess on the bedsheet and blanket!

Boy, was I mad! I was so furious that I took a clothes hanger, charged straight at my child who was happily playing with his toy, and give him a good spanking! He merely cried but not asking for mercy, except a short explanation:

“Dad, I was hungry and there wasn’t anymore leftover rice. But you were not back yet, hence I wanted to cook some instant noodles. But I remembered you reminding me not to touch or use the gas stove without any adults around, hence I turned on the shower and used the hot water from the bathroom to cook the noodles. One is for you and the other is for me. However, I was afraid that the noodles will turn cold, so I hid it under the blanket to keep it warm till you return. But I forgot to remind you ‘cos I was playing with my toys…I am sorry Dad…”

At that moment, tears were starting to run down my cheeks…but I didn’t want my son to see his dad crying so I dashed into the bathroom and cried with the shower head on to mask my cries. After that episode, I went towards my son to give him a tight hug and applied medication on him, while coaxing him to sleep. Then, it was time to clear up the mess on the bed. When everything was done and well past midnight, I passed my son’s room, and saw that he was still crying, not from the pain on his little buttock, but from looking at the photograph of his beloved mommy.

A year has passed since the episode, I have tried, in this period, to focus on giving him both the love of his dad and mom, and to attend to most of his needs. And soon, he is turning seven, and will be graduating from kindergarten. Fortunately, the incident did not leave a lasting impression on his childhood memories and he is still happily growing up.

However, not so long ago, I hit my boy again, with much regret. This time, his kindergarten teacher called, informing me of my son’s absence from school. I took off early from work and went home, expecting him to explain. But he wasn’t to be found, so I went around our house, calling out his name and eventually found him outside a stationery shop, happily playing computer games. I was fuming, brought him home and whack the hell out of him. He did not retaliate, except to say, ‘I am sorry, Dad’. But after much probing, I realized that it was a ‘Talent Show’ organized by his school and the invite is for every student’s mommy. And that was the reason for his absence as he has no mommy…..

Few days after the caning, my son came home to tell me, the kindergarten has recently taught him how to read and write. Since then, he has kept to himself and stayed in his room to practise his writing, which I am sure, would make my wife proud, if she was still around. ‘cos he makes me proud too!

Time passes by very quickly, and soon another year has passed. It’s winter, and its Christmas time. Everywhere the christmas spirit is in every passer-by…Christmas carols and frantic shoppers….but alas, my son got into another trouble. When I was about to knock off from the day’s work, the post office called. Due to the peak season, the post master was also on an edgy mood. He called to tell me that my son has attempted to post several letters with no addressee. Although I did make a promise never to hit my son again, I couldn’t help but to hit him as I feel that this child of mine is really beyond control. Once again, as before, he apologized, ’ I’m sorry, Dad’ and no additional reason to explain. I pushed him towards a corner, went to the post office to collect the letters with no addressee and came home, and angrily questioned my son on his prank, during this time of the year.

His answer, amidst his sobbing, was : The letters were for Mummy.

My eyes grew teary, but I tried to control my emotions and continued to ask him: ” But why did u post so many letters, at one time?” My son’s reply was: ” I have been writing to mummy for a long time, but each time I reach out for the post box, it was too high for me, hence I was not able to post the letters. But recently, when I went back to the postbox, I could reach it and I sent it all at once…”

After hearing this, I was lost. Lost at not knowing what to do, what to say….

I told my son, ” Son, mommy is in the heavenly kingdom, so in future, if you have anything to tell her, just burn the letter and it will reach mommy. My son, on hearing this, was much pacified and calm, and soon after, he was sleeping soundly. On promising that I will burn the letters on his behalf, I brought the letters outside, but couldnt help opening the letter before they turn to ash.

And one of the letters broke my heart….

Dear Mommy,

I miss you so much! Today, there was a ‘Talent Show’ in school, and the school invited all mothers for the show.. But you are not around, so I did not want to participate as well. I did not tell Dad about it as I was afraid that Dad would start to cry and miss you all over again. Dad went around looking for me, but in order to hide my sadness, I sat in front of the computer and started playing games at one of the shops. Dad was furious, and he couldnt help it but scolded and hit me, but I did not tell him the real reason.. Mommy, everyday I see Dad missing you and whenever he think of you, he is so sad and often hide and cry in his room. I think we both miss you very very much. Too much for our own good I think. But Mommy, I am starting to forget your face. Can you please appear in my dreams so that I can see your face and remember you? I heard that if you fall asleep with the photograph of the person whom you miss, you will see the person in your dreams. But mommy, why havent you appear?

After reading the letter, I can’t stop sobbing. ‘cos I can never replace the irreplaceable gap left behind by my wife….

-- God bless. ♥

God Works in the Waiting

noreply@blogger.com (millet ♥) — Mon, 18 Apr 2011 12:32:00 +0000

(An article I saw on Tumblr)

The sight was breathtaking; a stunning white dress and a brilliant bouquet of red roses, completed with a magnificent veil gracing auburn curls.

“Missy, I’m so excited for you,” I told this radiant bride.

Overflowing with joy, she said, “Amy, this is what God does when you wait on Him.”

As I got into my car after the wedding reception, Missy’s words were still gnawing at my heart. That was two years ago, and her words still grace my thoughts. See, the truth is I’m still waiting, and much waiting is yet to come. This is the truth for many of us. We have thedesire to love and to be loved with agape love- the perfect love that needs no boundaries, because it originates in and is governed by the Author of love. We long for the day when we can fully give ourselves to one peson without needing to hold back any of our being. But now is not that time, so we wait.

We’re not alone in our waiting. King David waited upon the Lord. More than 25 times in the Psalms he writes of waiting for the Lord: “I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in his word I put my hope. My soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen wait for the morning” (Psalm 130:5-6). How long must your servant wait?… I wait for your salvation, O Lord (Psalm 119:84). God called David a man after God’s own heart. I believe one reason David received this honorable title was because he wasn’t a passive waiter. David said, “My soul waits, and in his word I put my hope (Psalm 130:5). I wait… O Lord, and I follow your commands” (Psalm 119:166). While David waited for God to reveal future plans, he obeyed the commands that God had given him for the present.

We are called to do the same when waiting for marriage. While we are waiting for God to reveal there-and-then, we are to obey Him in the here-and-now by preparing ourselves for our future husbands. As we wait, we are to follow the commands that He has revealed to us through Scripture.

Unfortunately, this is easier said than done. How was it that David was able to wait for God’s timing? Psalm 27:13-14 gives us the answer: “I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.” David knew the character of God, and he trusted Him to do what was best. We, too, can rest in this promise. We can know that God will work all things out for our good and for His glory.
Although marriage is not our ultimate hope or source of completion, the dream is close to our hearts. We must never forget that while we are waiting, God is working. “Wait for the Lord,” dear sisters in Christ. “Be strong and take heart, and wait for the Lord.” (Psalm 27:14).

God bless. ♥

Flutter Field (2011) by Tzaddi Esguerra

You’ve learned to breathe, to see, to love, to believe. But have you ever learned to fly?

Flutter Field is an artistic rendition of today’s (Philippine) society in the eyes of an unlikely, enigmatic observer. The film highlights a rarely seen facet of people’s attitudes towards life, society and the social cancers that plague their minds and daily routines told through the hopes and dreams of a blinding child.

Director’s Note: If by the end of this film you’ve gathered up that the child committed suicide, you are wrong. Loljk, it’s an experimental film, you can come up with whatever ending you like. But just so you could appreciate the lines that we so carefully put together, review the film and think of the narration in the balloon’s point of view.

Letters To God

noreply@blogger.com (millet ♥) — Sat, 25 Dec 2010 16:05:00 +0000

I look at your smile in face
So weird and yet have some strength
You take a glimpse around this place and you make the best of everything

* You give me hope in spite of everything
You show me love even we so much pain
So I take this life and live like I was given another try

We laugh, we cry
Sometimes we’re broken and we don’t know why
And I’m tired and I lose my way
You help me to find it all

Repeat *

Just give me another try

Repeat *

- one of the songs in Letters to God. :)

A nice movie.

It made me cry.. Heart felt. :)

The Duck

noreply@blogger.com (millet ♥) — Thu, 18 Nov 2010 14:47:00 +0000

There was a little boy visiting his grandparents on their farm. And he was given a slingshot to play with out in the woods. He practiced in the woods but he could never hit the target. And getting a little discouraged; he headed back to dinner.

As he was walking back he saw Grandma’s pet duck. Just out of impulse, he let it fly, hit the duck square in the head, and killed it. He was shocked and grieved.

In a panic, he hid the dead duck in the wood pile, only to see his sister watching. Sally had seen it all, but she said nothing.

After lunch that day grandma said, "Sally, let’s wash the dishes."

But Sally said, "Grandma, Johnny told me he wanted to help in the kitchen today, didn’t you,Johnny?" And then she whispered to him, "Remember, the duck?"

So Johnny did the dishes.

Later, Grandpa asked if the children wanted to go fishing, and Grandma said, "I’m sorry but I need Sally to help make supper." But Sally smiled and said,

"Well, that’s all right, because Johnny told me he
wanted to help." And she whispered again, "Remember, the duck?"

So Sally went fishing and Johnny stayed.

After several days of Johnny doing both his chores and Sally’s, he finally couldn’t stand it any longer. He came to Grandma and confessed that he killed the duck.

She knelt down, gave him a hug, and said, "Sweetheart,I know. You see, I was standing at the window and I saw the whole thing. But because I love you, I forgave you. But I was just wondering how long you would let Sally
make a slave of you."

I don’t know what’s in your past. I don’t know what one sin the enemy keeps throwing up in your face. But whatever it is, I want you to know
something.

The Lord Jesus Christ was standing at the window. And He saw the whole thing. But because He loves you, He has forgiven you. Perhaps He’s wondering how long you’ll let the enemy make a slave out of you. The great thing about God is that He not only forgives, but He forgets.

What to do if we fail?

noreply@blogger.com (millet ♥) — Wed, 17 Nov 2010 14:37:00 +0000

A journalist was interviewing the chairman of a reputed company. “What is the secret of your success?”, the journalist asked. “Taking the correct decision – it is the secret of my success”, said the man. “How could you practice yourself in taking the correct decisions?” “Experiences taught me.” “How could you manage to get those experiences?, the journalist raised another question. “Through the wrong decisions and I learned from its consequences,” replied the chairman.

Though some had failures, they became successful men because they did not see failure as an end. They were not ready to give up life in front of failures. They continued their journey of life depending on God.

Prayer:

Lord, strengthen our faith as if no failures could shatter. Teach us not to see failures as an end but as an opportunity for a new beginning. Make us convinced that the success of life is not always being victorious or not committing any mistake. Bless us with trust and hope in order to move forward in our life without giving away to despair. Amen.

Just an Hour

noreply@blogger.com (millet ♥) — Tue, 16 Nov 2010 15:26:00 +0000

The man came home from work late again, tired and irritated, to find his 5 year old sonwaiting for him at the door.

"Daddy, may I ask you a question?"

"Yeah, sure, what is it?" replied the man.

"Daddy, how much money do you make an hour?"

"That's none of your business! What makes you ask such a thing?" the man said angrily.

"I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?" pleaded the little boy.

"If you must know, I make $20.00 an hour."

"Oh," the little boy replied, head bowed. Looking up, he said,

"Daddy, may I borrow $10.00 please?"

The father was furious. "If the only reason you wanted to know how much money I make is just so you can borrow some to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you're being so selfish. I work long, hard hours everyday and don't have time for such childish games."

The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. The man sat down and started to get even madder about the little boy's questioning.

How dare he ask such questions only to get some money.

After an hour or so, the man had calmed down, and started to think he may have been a little hard on his son.

Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $10.00, and he really didn't ask for money very often. The man went to the door of the little boy's room and opened the door.

"Are you asleep son?" he asked.

"No daddy, I'm awake," replied the boy.

"I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier," said the man.

"It's been a long day and I took my aggravation out on you. Here's that $10.00 you asked for."

The little boy sat straight up, beaming. "Oh, thank you daddy!" he yelled.

Then, reaching under his pillow, he pulled out some more crumpled up bills.

The man, since the boy already had money, started to get angry again.The little boy slowly counted out his money, then looked up at the man.

"Why did you want more money if you already had some?" the father grumbled.

"Because I didn't have enough, but now I do," the little boy replied.

"Daddy, I have $20.00 now. Can I buy an hour of your time?"

My Precious Daughter (A LOVE LETTER FROM GOD TO HIS DAUGHTER)

noreply@blogger.com (millet ♥) — Tue, 02 Nov 2010 07:26:00 +0000

My precious daughter,

I will never leave you,

I will never forsake you,

I will be faithful until the end,

You are more than just “my daughter”

You are my princess,

My beloved, my delight,

I rejoice in you,

You are beautiful,

You shine with light,

You have dove’s eyes,

I rejoice in you with singing,

I will quiet you with my love,

Hold you in my arms,

Never let you go,

For you are never alone,

You never have been alone,

I’ve been with you all along,

Your whole life,

I understand your pain,

My sacrifice wasn’t for nothing,

Let me tell you I understand your confusion,

I understand your anger and frustration,

I understand your tears,

And I care,

Very much,

For you,

Everything that is important to you,

Is important to me too,

My love for you will never end,

I will not leave you for another,

I will not abandon you ever,

No matter how far you go,

My love will never end.

I have examined you heart,

I know everything about you,

When you sit down or stand up,

I know your thoughts,

Even when you are far away,

I see you when you travel,

Or when you rest at home,

I see the tears that fall from your eyes,

I see the heartache in your home,

Believe me I know the lies,

I know the temptations,

But I am here,

I know what you are going to say,

Even before you say it.

I go before you and follow,

I place my hand of blessing on your head,

Such knowledge is beyond comprehension,

It is too wonderful for you to understand,

You can never escape from my Spirit,

You can never get away from my presence!

If you go up to heaven, I am there;

If you go down to the grave, I am there.

If you ride the wings of the morning,

If you dwell by the farthest oceans,

Even there my hand will guide you,

And my strength will support you.

You could ask the darkness to hide you,

And the light around you to become night,

But even in darkness you cannot hide from me,

To me night shine as day,

Darkness and light are the same to me,

I made all the delicate, inner parts of your body,

I made your heart,

I know what makes you hurt,

I know what makes you cry,

I know what makes you tick,

I know what breaks your heart the most,

And I know how to comfort you,

I know how to make you smile,

I know how to love you,

I know how to be a daddy who loves,

Such a beautiful daughter like you,

You long for acceptance,

When you were already accepted into my family,

You are fearfully and wonderfully made,

I love you more than you know,

I will fill your heart with the love and peace you long for,

I saw you before you were born,

I knit you together in your mother’s womb,

Even then I loved you,

And I was proud of you,

And I thought of you as my beautiful daughter, my princess,

Everyday of your life is recorded in my book,

Every moment was laid out,

Every moment that would bring you joy,

Every moment that would bring you pain.

My thoughts about you are precious,

They cannot be numbered,

They out number the grains of sand,

And when you wake up in the morning,

I am still with you,

I love you more than you know,

You are beautiful to me,

Even though you feel something is always wrong,

Just look into my eyes,

See how I see you,

A beautiful princess,

With beautiful eyes that shine with my love and my light,

I love you,

And I will say it again,

I love you,

My princess, my beloved,

My precious daughter,

I love you,

I love you,

I love you.

Don’t give up,

For I see the brokenness in your families,

In your friendships,

I see the pain in your eyes,

Your beautiful heart,

That used to be so filled joy,

Is now crushed beneath your burdens,

But you’re still beautiful to me,

So beautiful to me,

I will heal you and restore you once again,

My precious daughter,

I will never leave you,

I will never forsake you,

I will be faithful until the end,

Faithful until the end…

Your loving Father and Daddy, Prince of Peace, King of Glory,

-Jesus.

My Confessions. ♥

noreply@blogger.com (millet ♥) — Sun, 17 Oct 2010 14:43:00 +0000

“We all have a purpose. Just pray and trust God, everything will be alright.“Everyone says it but have we tried saying it to ourselves?

If you’re going to asked me, I tried saying those lines to other people but sometimes I haven’t tried it in myself. People see me as a strong person but I admit, I’m weak just like them. I stumbled, I failed many times but still I’m standing by the grace of God. I’m not exempted for having mistakes. I’m just a person who received God’s Grace. Where would I be without His Grace? One thing that makes me strong is that,

I always reflect on what Jesus Christ had done. I always remind myself, “Jesus Christ died for me.”

Yes, I admit, I cried every night, not because I’m broken hearted with someone but I’m crying because I made my Daddy cry. He doesn’t want to see me crying. He doesn’t want to see me hurting. Sometimes, He even bared all the pains, and I can feel it. It’s ironic but it’s true. I hate it when I made Him sad but I admit, I do it many times. I just pray and repent but what’s amazing in Him, is that, He STILL accepts me and He still loves me.

People see me as if I don’t have any problems but deep inside I’m hurting. People do hurt and bare all the pain inside. I love to bare all the pain and I don’t show it to other people. I’m showing all the emotions to my Dad. I’m a type of person who loves to see people who are smiling and laughing even though, I’m hurting. In layman’s term, it can be called a “MARTYR” but in my own perspective, I called it “SACRIFICING.” It may be weird, but yes, that’s me. All my hurts, disappointments, failures, sacrifices, they’re all three-fourths of what Jesus Christ had done in the Cross. That’s the ULTIMATE SACRIFICE ever done in the history and I think nothing/no one can beat it.

I tried to live without a purpose but I realize that it’s hard to live without it. Without a purpose, how can you move on? I think that I can live my own life but I was wrong. When I met God, I turned 180 degrees. Knowing God is equivalent to knowing your purpose. You accept His Son, Jesus Christ, not because, you want to know your purpose or someone pushes you to accept Him, but because, YOU LOVE HIM. No reasons. Love will flow unto your life. We designed in different purposes but it all goes back to one word: LOVE. You do it simply because YOU LOVE GOD.

As the cliché goes, forget the past. It’s hard to move on when it comes on how God saved you by accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. I may fail but here I am, still standing. It’s true, that no matter how try you run from Him, He still follow you. He can’t take a single day without seeing you. I can proof it. By the grace of God, I can prove it.

Even though, I’m imperfect, He still loves me and accepts me. He always makes me smile. He always allowed me to feel His love by the people I love. He always allowed me to see a new day. He allows me study in a university. I still have home, I still have my family, I can eat three times a day. He allows me to have problems so that I can be wise. Words can’t be described to prove it but try it, look at the mirror. :). Isn’t it enough that YOU EXIST to prove His Love for you?

We may have different point of view or different opinion and I respect it for that. We write not to impress but to express. To sum it up, I failed many times but here I am, still standing all because of His Grace. :)

Bird Cage

noreply@blogger.com (millet ♥) — Thu, 30 Sep 2010 05:37:00 +0000

A man was on the side of the road with a large birdcage. A boy noticed that the cage was full of birds of many kinds. "Where did you get those birds?" he asked. "Oh, all over the place," the man replied. "I lure them with crumbs and pretend I'm their friend. Then when they are close, I net them and shove them into my cage." "And what are you going to do with them now?" The man grinned, "I'm going to prod them with sticks, and get them really mad so they fight and kill each other. Those that survive, I will kill. None will escape." The boy looked steadily at the man. What made him do such things? He looked into the cruel, hard eyes. Then he looked at the birds, defenseless, without hope. "Can I buy those birds?" the boy asked. The man hid a smile, aware that he could be on to a good thing if he played his cards right. "Well," he said hesitantly, "The cage is pretty expensive, and I spent a lot of time collecting these birds, I'll tell you what I'll do, I'll let you have the lot, birds, cage and all for ten pounds and that jacket you're wearing." The boy paused, ten pounds was all he had, and the jacket was new and very special, in fact it was his prized possession. Slowly, he took out the ten pounds and handed it over, then even more slowly he took off his jacket, gave it one last look then handed that over too. He received the cage from the man. And then (well, you might have guessed it) he opened the door and let the birds go free. The Enemy of the world, Satan, was on the side of life's road with a verylarge cage. The man coming towards him noticed that it was crammed full of people of every kind, young, old, from every race and nation. "Where did you get these people?" the man asked. "Oh, from all over the world," Satan replied. "I lure them with drink, drugs, lust, lies, anger, hate, love of money and all manner of things. I pretend I'm their friend, out to give them a good time, then when I've hooked them, into the cage they go." "And what are you going to do with them now?" asked the man. Satan grinned. "I'm going to prod them, provoke them, get them to hate and destroy each other; I'll stir up racial hatred, defiance of law and order; I'll make people bored, lonely, dissatisfied, confused and restless. It's easy. People will always listen to what I offer them and what's better, blame God for the outcome!" "And then what?" the man asked. "Those who do not destroy themselves, I will destroy. None will escape me." The man stepped forward. "Can I buy these people from you?", he asked. Satan snarled, "Yes, but it will cost you your life." So Jesus Christ, the Son of God, paid for your release, your freedom from Satan's trap, with His own life, on the cross at Calvary. The door is open, and anyone, whom Satan has deceived and caged, can be set free.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight ----Proverbs 3:5-6----
