My Prayers for Today

 

I pray that God may enlighten all our minds as well as hearts so that we will constantly do the proper thing.

I pray that those people who are too busy thus have no time to pray may find inspiration in whatever they do.

I pray that all our children will be propoerly guided into the right path today and in the future so that they will attain  their ideal destinations with God’s guidance.

I pray that misunderstandings among humankind may soon be resolved for the sake of those mostly affected by it mostly young kids and the old people in our society.

I pray that those who don't have any food to eat and shelter may find consolation and comfort through the instrumentality of others. That those who are privileged to have extra resources may share these gifts to the underprivileged.

I pray that there will be more people to take care of our environment since they help us realise our potentials to the fullest.

And finally, I pray for peace deep within our HEARTS.

Cherishing Family Moments: A Personal Reflecti

          Thank God for this wonderful new day and for the gift of life. I am currently on my vacation. As always I thank God for all these gifts that I enjoy every single day especially for the gifts of my family- my wife and son. They always are the source of strength for me to wake up everyday and to go to work. In life, we should learn to cherish precious moments for they can become a source of positive energy.

          Life can be challenging at times and things don't always go as we hope. Relationships with people tend to crumble and wasted thus this could possibly lead us to suffer pain and downhearted. It is on those moments that we need the help and assistance of others most notably from people close to our hearts.

          As I recall back my experience with my own family before, indeed many trials came and they tend to hinder me in proceeding with my journey yet with the love and support of my family, I was able to move forward on a positive note. Thus, learn to cherish every single precious moment with your family and other special people in your life. At the end of the day, constantly offer your gratefulness to God through your prayers.

Time To Pray

 

Prayer is a very significant phase of my day to day existence. Since I was a child up to this point in my life, I could say that prayer is constantly a part of my daily ritual. No matter how busy I am yet I always see to it that I find time to pray in order to express my gratitude to my God for all blessings and challenges I receive during the course of the day.

Hence I would like to share with you things that I do as I prepare myself for prayer. First and foremost is for me to find a quiet place and time so as to start my prayer. As I succeed on this one, then I start to mentally prepare myself so as to free myself from all worries, stresses and concerns of the day. As I focus on my inner peace, I am now ready to start conversing with my Creator unfolding to Him everything that I want to express.

As I feel so relieve and extreme joy as I immerse myself in prayer, I will then conclude by embracing my Creator’s unending love for me leaving to Him everything in my life and letting Him take control of everything. Remember always, no matter how busy we are, we should always allot a part of our time to converse with our Creator through our prayer.

What You EWant To Be Next Year?

We are almost at the end of 2023 and as we look forward to the new year 2024, maybe it is good to ask ourselves questions relevant to us in relation to our day to day existence. Life would always be a journey for us though the roads that we are taking could be different from one person to the other yet our goal is more or less the same- that is for the betterment of ourselves.

Hence at this point of time, let us try to reflect on our life on this year 2023 and ask ourselves the following questionbs as we soon will start the new year:

1. What do we enjoy during our free time?
2. 
   
3. What are our skills, our positive and negative points, our skills?
4. What goals do we want to achive for the coming new year 2024?
5. What new skills or knowledge do we want to learn or acquire?
6. What kind of impact do we want to make both in our personal as well as professional life?
7. 
   

Aside from these guide questions, there could be other relevant matters we want to ask ourselves. But at the end of the day, I believe that the most essential question we can constantly keep on ourselves is: How did I become a better person today for the family, the community and to the world?

 

Enjoying A Sunday

 

What a beautiful day- a Sunday with its wonderful weather- Melbourne style- which is very unpredictable. We have arrived here in Melbourne last 2010 and up to this point, I am always amazed on how tentative its weather could be. However I also consider it a constant treasure to have chosen this place – such a marvellous one- with all its wonderful people- a very diverse one and I have seen how great it is to see multicultural people happily interacting with one another.

Though I believe that I could not speak for what others have experienced here but in so far as my personal journey is taken, our stay in this beautiful city of Melbourne is such a memorable one. Hoping to see more people coming to this vibrant city.

No matter how challenging the present times (high interest rates, expensive rent for those temporary dwellers etc. etc…) and other challenges, still I am always positive to recommend this city to any newcomer to Australia. As I would always practice with myself as mantra, ” Everything is a gift and I am lucky to be one of those who have enjoyed as such.”
