I got countless forwarded e-mails in my inbox and I hardly read them. I just choose what I want to read and the rest stayed unread until this time but this one really caught my attention. This is pretty humbling. Read on....
A young couple moves into a new neighborhood. The next morning while they are eating breakfast, the young woman sees her neighbor hanging the wash outside. "That laundry is not very clean", she said. "She doesn't know how to wash correctly. Perhaps she needs better laundry soap."Her husband looked on, but remained silent.
Every time her neighbor would hang her wash to dry, the young woman would make the same comments. About one month later, the woman was surprised to see a nice clean wash on the line and said to her husband: "Look, she has learned how to wash correctly. I wonder who taught her this."
The husband said, "I got up early this morning and cleaned our windows."
And so it is with life. What we see when watching others depends on the purity of the window through which we look.

The Window From Which We Look

Christian Song
Posted by Lisa at Saturday, June 18, 2011I first heard this song over the Christian radio I've been listening to many years ago. I enjoyed listening to the lyrics and the melody was so easy to learn. I got the lyrics and learned the song. Then I taught it to the youth in our church and we sang it during our worship service.
Isang Silip sa Langit
Ptr. Rolly Cayabyab
Sa langit walang lumpo
Doon walang nakakalbo
Mga ngipin ay kumpleto
Good bye na sa pustiso
Sa langit walang bulag
Walang matang nanlalabo
Mga pipi’t, mga bingi
Lahat ay gagaling kay Kristo
Walang pulubi sa langit
Doon walang magkakasakit
Wala na ring magugutom
Lahat tayo’y titira sa mansion
Wala ng graft & corruption
Wala na rin ang polusyon
Doon walang libingan
Buhay ay walang hanggan
Sa langit walang krimen
Good bye na sa kidnapping
Wala na ring mga sugal
Good bye na pati sa jueteng
Sa langit walang brown-out
Walang baha, wala ng lahar
Ginituan ang lansangan
Doon tayo mamasyal
Doon walang nagagalit
Doon wala ng masungit
Doon walang naiinggit
Punung-puno doon ng pag-ibig
In heaven there is no fear
The Prince of Peace is there
Kung nais mo sa langit
Kay Hesus ka kumapit (2x)

Holy Week Vacation
Posted by Lisa at Saturday, April 23, 2011Hubby and I just came home from a 3 days vacation for the holy week. We spent it in the city of pines. We went there with my 2 nephews and their dad and 3 girls who are our relatives. It's refreshing to be in a cool place and my hubby enjoyed the cool weather there. He walked 2 to 3 times a day there. I also had to take the girls around the city because it was their first time to got there. Yesterday I took them to the public market and we bought some fish, veggies and fruits. This morning we took them to Burnham Park then we headed to Camp John Hay for a picnic. We celebrated my nephew's birthday there. We enjoyed the foods, so yummy were the pancit, spaghetti, roasted chicken, lumpia, doughnuts, cake, bananas and some chips and drinks. We had lots of picture taking then we headed to the park and the boys played tennis. After that he headed home and then went back to the lowland.
