Greatest Gifts

Greatest Gifts.


Every year, there is always those moments or special days that we get to receive presents from different people. From a family member, friend, and from God.
There are different kinds of gifts that we receive in life, something that is tangible and intangible.
Have you ever thought that the most expensive gifts that can be given are the ones that are intangible? Something that cannot be seen, smell, hear, touch or taste.

Hello Reader! So this blog post was suggested by a friend of mine from MSU Marawi(AB English), and to be honest, I have no idea what to write. Thanks Sir R for giving me this suggestion that made me brainstorm real hard. This almost cracked my brain. *insert peace sign?*

We all have those people in our lives who reminds us that when it comes to gifts, it is the thought that counts. But we can't deny the fact that there are times that the gifts that we receive are sometimes stupid. That person demands for something brand new and expensive, but they fail to even make an effort to give you a gift that has sincerity.

Gifts should not be about demanding for something what you want, it's about being selfless enough to think of others. It's not about receiving, but about giving and be thankful. Not about material things, but about intangible things, which are much more memorable and meaningful.

So I dare you to take this moment to thank every intangible things that you have received this year. Especially the ones from God, and that is His gift of salvation for you, that was not earned by good works, but by grace that you have been saved through faith. Salvation is a gift from God and is waiting to be claim in faith.

For me, intangible gifts will always be the greatest gift in this world.
God's love will always be the greatest gift that I have received everyday. So I am thankful that God hasn't let go of me, even though I am a sinner. He saved me and continues to amaze me with things that are beyond what I deserve for myself...

Reader, I hope this year and the years to follow, you will always learn to smile and be inspired.
In times when the world would try and bring you down, that will make you fall to the ground, I hope that you will always have the courage to stand up, rise up and shine again.

I am inspired to continue this blog because of you.
I'm thankful that every time I am in a dark room, writing with all my heart, behind every screen, someone is reading what I wrote.. Thank you. You are also one of the greatest gifts I have this year.

"The quality of the gift depends on the sincerity of the giver."

Merry Christmas!

No Title

No title "People cannot live together without forgiveness because our imperfections cause us to hurt each other again and again." That moment, when you can't explain to anyone how you feel because you can't even explain it to yourself... This blog post isn't really important, it's just a post of my random feelings... When people say that i should stop being a crybaby because the problem is not that big.. Just because my problems are not as big as yours, that doesnt mean that my problems doesnt sting my heart. the person who reminded you that there is hope, that you really deserve happiness, and that you are not a mistake.. the person who made you feel so special and made you forget all your other problems.. is now the person who breaks your heart. that person now makes you feel that you dont deserve to exist in this world.. this was the first time that i cried in front my family.. and i hate it when people see me cry, because it make...

Best Part Of Me.

When people ask me, "What is your favorite day of the week?", my answer will always be "Sunday" which is a day with God. The rest are "Stressdays". A day that I would spend my time listening to lectures at School, or maybe doing an activity at School. I'm not complaining, I love School! But we can't forget the fact that the day ends with tired-panda-eyes. When I get home from School, I would be greeted by house chores! There is almost no time for myself, when I wake up in the morning, I would never have the "yay" feeling for choosing what to wear for School. A shirt and jeans matched with hackneyed sneakers would be fine, but isn't that way too boring? I don't know what your side is, but to me Fashion is suppose to be in my best friend. A quote by Nina Garcia, made me realize the "power" of accessories. It can either make or break a look. Few days ago, two people gave me this boring bracelets. ...

Love is...

Love is... I've already explain a lot on my blog about what love really is... But I'm always talking about a certain person and not just about "love." So I decided that in this blog post, it will just be about "love." Usually when some people hear the word love the first thing that comes to their mind is a boyfried-girlfriend relationships. But love is not just about that. Love happens not just from that special guy you see at school or something, it also happens inside a house, in a church, in the hospital, in happy times and also in times when we thought we're alone. Love happens when we least expect it. This blog post is actually for those who think love is stupid, worthless, selfish, lust, etc. LOVE IS NOT A NEGATIVE ELEMENT! Did you know that because of love, every believer is saved? WE ARE SINNERS! NO ONE IS RIGHTEOUS! Our imperfections have caused us to sin, but because that love exist, a God allowed His one and only S...
