"Happily doing things, not doing things to be happy"

*
I treasure the privilege and the blessing of my physical existence on this part of the universe called Mother Earth – to have the rare opportunity to feel, sense, touch and taste what this physical life can offer. Yet, these physical sensations are nothing to compare with the majestic splendor of what our loving Creator has prepared for us. I thank God with all my heart for the total life experiences I have been blessed with and for the assurance of an everlasting life with Christ Jesus, my Lord and Savior. I am resting on His great promise when He said, “In my Father’s house are many mansions. If it were not so, I would not have told you”.

The lithograph on the left “Sagada” is a place in the northern Philippines. I visited this place to take a respite from my work at the insistent prodding of my dear father. While there I found a place called “Lake Danum”. For me, it was a paradise here on earth. The chirping of the birds was the only sound that breaks the deafening silence that dominated the atmosphere. The pristine surroundings generated a zen-like experience where peace and tranquility nourished and relaxed my weary body and soul.
