Of course motherhood is incomparable but I bet any mommy will be smiling from ear to ear if she receives one of these. I know I will.

sometimes you will know real friends through the years, it just gets disappointing when you thought you built real friendship when the truth is you didn’t.

Just recently, two of my friends fought over something, though I think it is very petty, it is just saddening that they had to throw harsh words in public. Knowing them for quite a long time, I would never thought of any of us fighting over such small things. I hope they make up soon.

I had my own misfortunes with friendships. I don’t want to go on details of my experiences but just in random… I just feel disappointed that things got different over something really simple. From my point of view, I think I have the right to be a little pissed (and for the record, I wasn’t pissed at all) but then again it’s such a simple thing and it will be too immature to make it a big deal and I never hold grudges especially to people who are close to me, I’m just not the type but I noticed that things changed. I talked to my husband about it and he said, things are just the way it should be, you may have valued that friendship but to them, they didn’t so I just have to let it be. Friends told me that “at least I knew” and “that I can do without them”, I know I should see the brighter side of things, it’s just that I regret that it has to be this way.

… that love is the opposite of logic. Logic is argumentative, aggressive upon the mind, splits the world into right and wrong, us and them. Love is generative, compassionate, embracing all creation. Logic pays attention to what is being said. Love pays attention to how things are said. Logic leads to debate. Love leads to communion. Practice love to be closer to God.

Aside from my love to God, when I read about this message I thought of marriage. That love should win over logic when you are married. My mom would always tell me that you should be submissive to your husband, (almost) all the time. I learned to choose my battles, there are times when I know I can win an argument but will I ever truly win? What will it do to me? So over the years, I have this thought, if it won’t hurt me or my husband or our son, the husband can always win an argument no matter how logical I think!

… that God can fix anything. Have you ever witnessed a skilled craftsman going into an old broken down home and restoring it into something fabulous? God is the master of restoration, taking the broken and damaged and making them beautiful. Are there some things in your life that could use a little work?Allow yourself to be God’s next fixer upper project.

Thank you Lord for making my sister well again. Let her recover fast and make her strong before she leaves for Canada. Please make my son well, take his colds and cough away. Amen.
