Ash Wenesday

Ash Wednesday is the first day of Lent and occurs forty-six days before Easter. It falls on different dates from year to year, according to the date of Easter; it can occur as early as February 4 or as late as March 10. At Massess and services of worship on this day, ashes are imposed on the foreheads in the shape of the cross. This symbolizes that the person belongs to Jesus Christ, who died on a Cross.

Lent Season

Lent is here. Ready or not ,The big question is always: How are we going to "do" Lent this year.

Lent- is a forty-day liturgical season that initiates the most sacred part of the Christian year. It begins on Ash Wednesday. We skip Sundays when we count the forty days, because Sundays commemorate the Resurrection. It's offers us all a very special opportunity to grow in our
relationship with God and to deepen our commitment to a way of life. In our busy world, Lent provides us with an opportunity to reflect upon our patterns, to pray more deeply, experience sorrow for what we've done and failed to do, and to be generous to those in need. We offer resources here to assist our entry into this wonderful season.

YOU WERE SEND FROM HEAVEN

You were sent from heaven to help me find a way you make me so happy more than words can say.
You are the sweetest guy I know you'll never treat me bad and wipe away the tears whenever I am sad.
You'll stay in my heart forever no matter where I go because I always need you more than you'll ever know.
You were a gift from God and I believe it's true because you make me smile and I bet you never knew that with you by my side there is nothing I can't do .
As I sit and dream of you sleeping in the night I know that if things go wrong they'll always turn out right.
There is only one thing you need to know and that I need to say that I care for you more and more each day.
Put your arms around me and hold me next to you tell me that you care for me and you'll always do.
Even with our differences and even when we fight in the end we know it will be alright.
Tell me you'll never leave me and give me that special kiss the one thing I know is I can't get happier than this
We'll grow stronger as our time goes on and I'll always love you even when you're gone.
I'll always have a place for you deep inside my heart that will never go away even when we're apart
Tell me all about you as you hold me near don't forget your hopes and dreams and your biggest fear.
I'll tell you all about me and all you want to know I want us to grow closer because I love you so I'll spend each day with you and even all night long because I know in my arms is where you belong
When it's time for me to go to heaven up above I will wait for you because you're the one I love If you go before me
Please wait for me up there because I know in my heart it's love that we share
Whisper in my ear you love me and you always will even when we argue you will love me still
I want you to know that I love you, too and no matter what I will always do.

All My Life

I have longed for someone like you,
So warm and tender,
with a love so true.

You light up my life
with each passing day,
Now that I have found you,
I will never let you get away.

The beauty of your smile, and
the warmth of your heart.
The great inner beauty you possess,
is what won me over,
and did from the very start.

As I sit here and think of you,
the memories of how we met
are ever so strong.
You came into my life
at a time I felt so alone.

All of my life I`ve longed
for someone who would love me,
for whom I am and nothing more.
You captured my mind and soul,
so you, my love, you are the key
to my heart`s door.

Each day we are together,
is another day in paradise.
Knowing I`ve finally
found someone to love me,
surely does feel so nice.

No more lonely days and nights,
for they are gone forever, never to come again.
Since you came into my life,
I have so much love to
give to you from within.

The birds are flying high in the sky,
singing melodies of love found for you and I.
My body, soul and mind
are yours until the day I shall die.

And even after then...
the memory of love we have for each other
will speak to us for all eternity.
And another page of love
will be written in history.

As days go by let`s you and I
keep this love we have between us alive.
As the hair on our heads grows gray,
we will look back at these precious memories of love
with a smile.

There will be no one who
can take this love away from us.
Because in God and each other,
we will forever put our trust.

All of my life I have dreamed
of a love so true and pure,
like yours.
Now that I have found you,
throughout all eternity this
love of ours will always endure.

I know we both are human
and are prone to make mistakes.
All of our mistakes, we will work through,
for true love is our fate.

This day I pledge my love to you for always...
for better or for worse, until death do us part.
Our hearts will blend into one heart.
You and I will always be
the reality that dreams do come true.

All of my life I have dreamed of you,
Now my soul is at peace forever.
For you are here finally.

Dream

Dreams is defined in Webster's Dictionary as a "sequence of sensations, images, thoughts, etc., passing through a sleeping person's mind" . In our dreams, we can go anywhere, we can be anybody, and we can do anything. Every detail, even the most minute element in our dream is important and must be considered when analyzing our dreams.
Here's some common Dream
* Teeth Are Falling - Family member or closed friend is very sick or even
near death.
* Naked - symbolizes openness and honesty,is the result of the alignment of the thinker's thoughts and words or actions. When someone appears nude in a dream this will represent an aspect of the Self that is being expressed openly; the ideas manifest in their true form without alteration or limitation.
* Water - is a symbol of energy, cleansing, emotional stirrings. The condition of the water tells whether your emotional state is positive or negative. Dreaming of clear water foretells good luck at work and in your private life. Seeing muddy water is a bad omen which denotes misfortunes, financial problems, sorrow and losses. Drinking fresh water in the dream shows your good health and foretells a ripe old age. Seeing your reflection on the water surface: you are only fooling yourself.
Baby - To dream of crying babies, is indicative of ill health and disappointments.
- A bright, clean baby, denotes love requited, and many warm friends. Walking alone, it is a sure sign of independence and a total ignoring of smaller spirits. If a woman dream she is nursing a baby, she will be deceived by the one she trusts most.
- It is a bad sign to dream that you take your baby if sick with fever. You will have many sorrows of mind.
Death - is usually a symbol of some type of closure or end. It implies an end to one thing and a beginning of another. Death dreams usually have positive symbolism. If you are the dead person in your dream, it could imply that you would like to leave all of your worries and struggles behind and begin anew. Dreaming about someone that you care about may express your fear about losing them. Dreaming that one of your parents died may express fear of loss, but it also may be an unconscious valve through which you release anger and other negative feelings. In some cultures dreaming about death and dying is a very good omen that represents longevity and prosperity.
Snakes - means hidden fears and worries that are threatening you.

REAL FRIENDSHIP

Real friendship looks at the heart, not just the "packaging." Genuine friendship loves for love's sake, not just for what it can get in return.
True friendship is both challenging and exciting. It risks, it overlooks faults, and it loves unconditionally, but it also involves being truthful, even though it may hurt. Real friendship doesn't put you down or treat you as if you're stupid . Real and true friendship involves freedom of choice, accountability, truth, and forgiveness.
We all need someone with whom we can share our lives, thoughts, feelings, and frustrations. Faithfullness and loyalty are key to true friendship. Whithout this we often feel betrayed, left out and lonely. In true friendship there is no backbiting, no negative thoughts, no turning away. So how about? what do you think about "REAL FRIENDSHIPE"?

With Pagbuaya were his fallowers numbering 800 families.Uncertainly about there destination when ask about the exodus, the fallowers simply replied 'Dito sa Pagdapitan', which means There in Pagadapitan. Dapit in Visayan means "to invite".
