Creation
Feels good to be back on track for morning walk at the beach overlooking from outside the real wonders of God's creation. Missed last 2 Sundays! It occured to me that we all do look out somewhere outthere - indeed built within us this inner most feeling to search for that missing something - no wonder none of the hotels were built looking inside the town instead looking outwards the big blue ocean and sky high sky! Even if we do not know Jesus (and I hope you do not reject him because you haven't gotten to know him yet) and do not believe in Christianity what-so-ever, at least acknowledge God (or the Creator's) creations ... his work is everywhere, if only you uncover the blindness of your eyes as I had before. Look at the sky, the ocean, big things of the world, small things of the world, the food you eat, the friends you have, the trees, the insects, the animals, all the wonders of the world ... you may look far or near, you will see God's creation right in front of you. If you are a mother or a father, you may want to ask yourself if you created your kids .. if you answer yes, I would ask you for the formula and you would know the ingridients of it, mechanics, and all issue surrounding the birth of a child from conception onwards. If you're truly honest with yourself, you would realize that you're only a vehicle of which God gave you your child and you did not create or invented your child but He did. So, the least please acknowledge God's creations and say thank you to Him for all that He has provided to you .. look around and ask Him to help you open up your eyes to see and ears to hear.
Moms, Don't Be Foolish
Can't believe how ignorant, arrogant and ungrateful I've been all these years about our very own human existence. Of course God exists, or if you like to say it, the Creator exists whatever name you may want to use. "In the absence of any other proof, the thumb alone would convince me of God's existence"~Sir Isaac Newton ... God is everywhere around us ... if we just look at His creation ... its just plentiful. As a mother, I have witness one of God's greatest creation - us as humans.. I remember my journey when tiny ANA was just 1 or 2 weeks old. I had subscribed to a free pregancy email bulletin where they would send me weeks and weeks of pretty detail update/growth of my little unborn .. every week, I was just soooo awed by the degree or details and the power of non-stop growth which eventually would lead to a full term baby girl .. As mothers, we should realize that we did not create babies (simple truth yet many would think its MY BABY, I GAVE BIRTH TO HIM/HER, it was ME ME ME and so focused on the joy and all the parenthood activities that we will be experiencing for ourselves...) ... surely I did not create babies.. because if I did, I would be able to tell you everything behind my creation .. every detail of how and why it works or not work a certain way, the methods behind it, everything!!!! But if you asked me today what do I know about creating babies, I surely cannot tell you much but just the act of it. I definitely do not have the recepi to it! If you agree with me that you did not create babies, then who did? Yes, someone else or something else ... but you don't know who or what ... you sure can call it, the Creator. Acknowledging this fact alone is so important to our every day living .. because if you believe there's a Creator, it's foolish to ignore the Creator, let alone, not send a 'Thank You' note to the Creator for creating you. I hope you will make a point to seek the Creator, say Hi, and Thanks and make friends with Him for He wants a relationship with you - otherwise He wouldn't have created you. Let's not be arrogant about our very own existence irregardless of our spiritual faith .. To say you don't believe in God (or the Creator) is to say you believe in yourself ... but you did not create yourself nor did you create your babies or any other thing in this world .... we're just borrowing the things of the world that God has graciously lend to us, and we should be thankful to God by telling him so. If you now realize now you've been foolish, ignorant and arrogant about your very own existence... admit to God now and tell Him you love him because He loves you. Seek forgiveness and start a new life starting from looking at your very own operational manual (which you did not write, the Creator wrote it because He created it ahem) instead of looking within yourself or your surroundings.
