Doing for the Best

My past weeks' experiences are full of challenges, full of pressure, effort and sacrifices. It show me a lot of lessons and realizations towards life. Those circumstances reminds me that life is not so hard for a person who doesn't treat problems in a difficult way. It is about facing challenges, which always come across with me but still I'm weak and afraid to face it. I know that those are God's challenges for me to learn the right way to grow and develop better. So, by those experiences I made some reflections to change the flow of my actions for myself and for other people who are affected of my wrong doings.
Being present in the situation wherein almost all your weaknesses will come across in your way is really difficult just like what happened in the past days and weeks. It is really difficult to conquer fears and face challenges. But, with the help of my faith in Him and the support of the important persons in my life , I made it! Yes, I'm really happy. I just let those days pass, still in the process I made it in a normal way doing all my effort and all the best that I can do.

TEMPTATION: Is it conquerable

It is natural to man to endulge in the temptations of life. we became imprudent persons just to reach our satisfaction and not realizing the consequences for each decision we make. Is it possible for a man to conquer each temptation that comes accross his life? Are we brave enough to pass through the holes of temptations 'till we reach the top of chaotic circumstances? Are we disposed to be of the number of those who have covet thy neighbors wife or thy neighbors girlfriend or boyfriend and who have been faced with the temptation to peek at a neighbor's test paper_ the things which so nearly concern their courage to face the temptations. for my part, what ever circumstances it may come, I am willing to face each of them.

From the moment we learned to speak and walk, we start making friends, we start admiring people, material things, possessions, etc., Until that admiration goes into passion and the desire to achieve that particular things we admire. Inorder to achieve them all, we must work diligently and ascertain the possible problems that might come along the way. There might be temptations waiting for us. And will challenge our personality. Certain situations which are opportunities for some of us that we instantly grab without even thinking first.

All of us will be facing temptations, and we have to look out for it. Even Jesus was also challenge to be distructed by Satan. Satan proposed that Jesus use the power God has given him to meet his own wants. He also proposed Jesus could live for himself and his own pleasure. But Jesus rejected this idea. he knew selfish living is not in keeping with God's law and can only lead to unhappiness. We ourselves can also reject temtations in ourlives. As one man said, most often our greatest temtations comes when we are alone. They come from ourselves, ot from others. So inorder to conquer temtations, we must first learn to control ourselves especially our emotions which sometimes causes problems. there are persons who will be trying to distract us and will lead us to trouble. And all we have to do is to be calm and ascertain every possible actions in certain circumstances. Don't let ourselves aggravate the situation. It would be harmful if we will be carried away by others.

It may not be possible for us to stop other people from doing such ridiculous things, but it is up to ourselves to be a responsible person and do whats better.

hey

think before you speak!

Do your words get into trouble?Have you ever said something you wish you hadn't? Do you say the wrong thing at the wrong time?

Speaking the right words at the right time can mean the difference between success and failure.
We mus be aware of what we are saying and how we are saying it.
Examine how you use your tongue.
Just as we can hurt others with our words, so can we speak words that build, uplift and strengthen those around us.


think about that!!!

Parents have the responsibility to teach their children to love,
to help them to become a part of family. It is a big job to
shape the human spirit in our children in a way that to work
with them as adults later in life. A parent has a big influence
over the direction in which a young life develops. Caring and
involve parents can bring out the best, and most in a child to
attain the goals. But uncaring, neglectful parents can fail miserably
to their children.
Much of the responsibility for guiding, instructing and disciplining
children falls to the mother who tends to be more disciplining
children falls to the mother who tends to be more available during
the day and many mothers unsupported y their husbands. And so
are the statistics showing increasing numbers of emotional and
learning disorders among children. Teenage drug abuse,premarital
sex and unwanted pregnancy. Both mothers and fathers must be
present and spend ample time with their children in order properly
love and care or them.
