Tis' true, when they say dogs are Man's best friend. Here's Skippy, who entered into my life 7 years ago. A true friend indeed, because he knows when I am sad and when I'm crying in bed. He loves sleeping, and once he sleeps, he's like a pig. But the moment he hears my sniffs, he'll get up, come up to me, and lick my tears away. I love Skippy, as much as a brat he may be. :)
P.S: The guitar arrangement in this song is beautiful!
14 February. The day restaurants, florists, and jewelers earn big amounts of profit.
Okay, that's beside the point. Yes, everyday should be Valentine's Day. The world would be a better place if everybody shows some love in one way or another, not just on 14 February.
I really thank God for people who love me. Maybe sometimes I expect too much from the people I love, and I fail to understand their love language, especially those whose love language is different from mine. I pray that God will make me a more understanding and patient person, slow to anger, and gentle in my words. It's tough, really. The more you try to achieve certain attributes, the harder it is.
Of course, none of these worldly love can ever compare to the love of God. It "goes beyond the highest star and reaches to the lowest hell; it's measureless and strong". We love because He first loved us. This gives us a perfect example to follow - to love unconditionally (agape).
Father, please give me all the strength I need to go through this semester. You know how much I dread going to school every single day. You know how I have to drag my feet to the classroom. You know how lazy I am to complete my readings and my homework. You know how much of a procrastinator I am.
Father, as much as I detest going to school, I do not want my grades to drop. It's going to be a tough 14 weeks. My timetable is almost packed, and I am taking modules I DON'T enjoy at all. I am desperate in securing a job before graduation. I am not having the best time of my life now juggling tuition, schoolwork, relationships, and Quiet Time. Please let not this dread for school affect my attitude towards the people I love.
I know that since You have put me into this, You will see me through it. But Father, please give me the strength to glean on that promise. Help me to walk aright with You as I take my remaining steps to reach the summit. The higher I get, the more tired I become. So Father, renew my strength, for "You are the strength when I am weak", and "You are my all in all".
Tis' true, when they say dogs are Man's best friend.
