papuntang San Miguel, may nakasakay ako sa jeep na 3 mahirap/nangangalakal, Isang Matandang babae, isang teenager na lalake at isang batang babae. At first i was disgusted because they smell really bad. Nang magbayad ang ale ng P7.00, ang sabi ng jeepney driver "kasama mo ba yung dalawang bata? kulang ng bayad niyo" at sagot ng ale "nangangalakal lng naman po kami, yan lang kaya namin" with sadness on her face. the teenager doesnt want to sit dahil nahihiya kaya tumayo na lang siya, pero sinigaw sigawan niya nung driver. Nanlambot yung puso ko dahil wala naman gingawa ung bata ehh, sumbit na nga lang. Kumuha ako ng pera sa bag ko at iniabot sa driver "kuya, bayad po nung bata para makaupo n at wag niyo na hiyain". and then everyone started staring its as if i did something wrong.The little girl was sitting beside me and i heard her talking to her lola "nagugutom na ako" then the ale said "hahanap pa tayo ng pagkukuhanan natin ng pambili." my eyes started to become teary, so i grabbed my wallet ang gave the ale P100 and told her "pasensiya na po yan lang kaya ko ngayon, kumain na po kayo pagkababa niyo." The ale looked at me with a smile on her face and said "maraming salamat anak, kaawaan ka ng Diyos". Hindi maipinta ang mukha nilang tatlo sa ligaya. Nagabot na din sa kanila ng pera ang mga kasakay namin sa jeep, at halos maluha na ang ale. Pagkababa nila sa hrp ng SM, ang sabi ng ale "maraming salamat sa mg tulong niyo, malking bagay ito samin. Gabayan sana kayo ng Diyos at patuloy na tumanggap ng biyaya."
no matter how unfortunate they are, they never lose hope & faith in our Lord.
I was then reminded of the verse "GOD LOVES A CHEERFUL GIVER" & "Honor the Lord with your wealth and with the first fruits of all your produce; then your barns will be filled with plenty,and your vats will be bursting with wine.".
Never miss a chance to give & be a blessing to other people in many ways. :">

Something Unusual (2nd time) : JEEP MOMENTS
Date : November 5, 2013
going home from San Miguel with my usual pay-fare-and-put-on-my-earphones peg, along SM tarlac, a woman made eye contact with me (fyi i dont know her). So i took off my earphones (thought that maybe she knows me & wanted to talk to me) and she smiled at me. And i said "Hello po," she replied with...
"i remember you. Nakasabay na kita magchurch hindi ko alam kelan na, and yung time na yon, you prayed for me. Hindi kita malilimutan dahil nung service na yon, i was feeling down and i really needed someone to talk to me and/or pray for me. Ehh wala kang kasama, so we prayed together. Ang galing ni Lord, i believe na ginamit ka Niya to send a message to me while we practically dont know each other. You prayed for my family & my work, everything you said is like, you've known me for a long time, its as if naikwento ko sayo buhay ko..nastruck ako at na-enlighten ako sa mga sinabi mo. God does work in mysterious ways, & at the right time. gusto ko lang magpasalamat sayo." and i was like.. ughhh. SPEECHLESS! So nasabi ko na lang, "ganyan talaga si Lord. Faith & trust lang kelangan." tapos bumababa na ko sa TSU..
that feeling of making or directing some stranger's life to the right path is very fulfilling and nakakataba ng puso. If only i could cry infront of her knowing that God is working through me and is affecting peoples lives in a good way. Honoring God and pleasing God has never been this awesome. I also believe that when we pray for something or someone, it is the Holy Spirit doing its job through us, its like speaking in tongues, that you wont even remember or have any idea what you've just said / prayed for. We are but instruments in the hands of God...all credit, all honor and all glory belongs to Him and Him alone.
PRAYER WORKS! IT REALLY DOES!
So likewise you, when you have done all those things which you are commanded, say, “We are unprofitable servants. We have done what was our duty to do.” (Luke 17:10)
HIGHLIGHT NG NOV.5 KO ITO!! nabuo araw ko dahil dito. How great is our God, right?
