I believe the persecution of the Dutertes in this current administration is a grand design of the alliance of the parties KBL of Marcos and Nacionalista by Villar under the banner of Bagong Pilipinas. Unfortunately for them because the more they hit the Dutertes the more the Filipino people is awaken. Boomerang!

THE BLACK SPOT

One day a professor entered the classroom and asked his students to prepare for a surprise test. They waited anxiously at their desks for the test to begin. The professor handed out the question paper, with the text facing down as usual. Once he handed them all out, he asked his students to turn the page and begin. To everyone’s surprise, there were no questions….just a black dot in the center of the page. The professor seeing the expression on everyone’s face, told them the following:


“I want you to write what you see there.”

The students confused, got started on the inexplicable task.

At the end of the class, the professor took all the answer papers and started reading each one of them aloud in front of all the students. All of them with no exceptions, described the black dot, trying to explain its position in the middle of the sheet, etc. etc. etc. After all had been read, the classroom silent, the professor began to explain:

“I am not going to grade on you this, I just wanted to give you something to think about. No one wrote about the white part of the paper. Everyone focused on the black dot – and the same happens in our lives. We have a white paper to observe and enjoy, but we always focus on the dark spots. Our life is a gift given to us by God, with love and care, and we always have reasons to celebrate – nature renewing itself everyday, our friends around us, the job that provides our livelihood, the miracles we see everyday…….


However we insist on focusing only on the dark spots – the health issues that bother us, the lack of money, the complicated relationship with a family member, the disappointment with a friend etc

The dark spots are very small compared to everything we have in our lives, but they are the ones that pollute our minds.

Take your eyes away from the black spots in your life. Enjoy each one of your blessings, each moment that life gives you.


What Is The Moral Lesson Of This Story?


Be happy and live a life positively!

I am sharing a photo of myself taken by my sister, Yojevangelista, during my last moments before I said goodbye at the hospital. Originally, it was just the two of us, but our roommate requested to join in as well, which we appreciated. This photo became a very special memory that I will cherish forever.

I never imagined that my two-week stay in the hospital, which began with body pain, a high fever, uncontrollable chills, and difficulty breathing, would lead to such inspiring insights about myself and the world. There were many ups and downs and misunderstandings, but they were all part of the healing process.

God is so good, and we often cannot comprehend His plans for us. "Igsignificant" is a term we created out of frustration and sadness, but I’ve come to realize that God is always there, guiding us toward a much better path.

I am extremely grateful to my family, especially my lovely sister Tjoy, who was by my side, even as her own health began to falter due to the sacrifices she made during my hospital stay. I also appreciate my Manang Juna, who has been in touch, and my nephews.

To all my friends who prayed for my recovery, thank you so much. You have been a source of strength and a beacon of hope during my darkest moments. Please understand that my difficulty in communicating is due to my shaky hands, as one of my hands and my nose are still connected to my lifeline.

I just got home last night after my final lab test, a 2D echo. While I am not fully cured, I feel strong enough to continue my journey at home.

THE WOLF AND THE LAMB
approaching

A lamb was grazing with a flock of sheep one day. She soon found some sweet grass at the edge of the field. Farther and farther she went away from the others.

She was enjoying herself so much that she did not notice a wolf coming nearer to her. However, when it pounced on her, she was quick to start pleading, “Please, please don’t eat me yet. My stomach is full of grass. If you wait a while, I will taste much better."

The wolf thought that was a good idea, so he waited.

After a while, the lamb said, “If you allow me to dance, the grass in my stomach will be digested faster." Again the wolf agreed.

While the lamb was dancing, she had a new idea. She said, “Please take the bell from around my neck. If you ring it as hard as you can, I will be able to dance even faster."

The wolf took the bell and rang it as hard as he could. The shepherd heard the bell ringing and quickly sent his dogs to find the missing lamb. The barking dogs frightened the wolf away and saved the lamb’s life.


What is the moral lesson of this story?

The gentle and weak can sometimes be cleverer than fierce and strong.

THE SELFISH MAN

Once upon a time, there was a selfish man. He liked everything to be his own. He could not share his belongings with anyone, not even his friends or the poor.

One day, the man lost thirty gold coins. He went to his friend’s house and told him how he lost his gold coins. His friend was a kind man.

As his friend’s daughter was coming from an errand she found thirty gold coins. When she arrived home, she told her father what she had found. The girl’s father told her that the gold coins belong to his friend and he sent for him. When the selfish man arrived, he told him how his daughter had found his thirty gold coins and handed then to him.

After counting the gold coins the man said that ten of them was missing and had been taken by the girl as he had forty gold coins. He further commented that he will recover the remaining amount from him. But the girl’s father refused.

The man left the gold coins and went to the court and informed the judge there about what had taken place between him and the girl’s father.

The judge sent for the girl and her father and when they arrived asked the girl how many gold coins did she find. She replied thirty gold coins. The Judge that asked the selfish man how many gold coins did he lose and he answered forty gold coins.

The judge then told the man that the gold coins did not belong to him because the girl found thirty and not forty as he claimed to have lost and then told the girl to take the gold coins and that if anybody is looking for them he will send for the girl.

The judge told the man that if anybody reports that they have found forty gold coins he will send for him. It was then that the man confessed that he lied and that he lost thirty gold coins but the judge did not listen to him.

What is the moral lesson of this story?

Always be honest as dishonest never pays.

THE ROPE

The night fell heavy in the heights of the mountains and the man could not see anything. All was black. Zero visibility and the moon and the stars were covered by the clouds. As he was climbing only a few feet away from the top of the mountain, he slipped and fell in to the air falling at great speed. He could only see black spots as he went down and the terrible sensation of being sucked by gravity.

He kept falling and in the moments of great fear, it came to his mind all the good and bad episodes of his life. He was thinking now about how dose death was getting, when all of a sudden he felt the rope tied to his waist pull him very hard. His body was hanging in the air.

Only the rope was holding him and in that moment of stillness he had no other choice other to scream, 'Help me God.'

All of a sudden a deep voice coming from the sky answered, "What do you want me to do?'

'Save me God.'

'Do you really think I can save you?'

'Of course I believe You can."

“Then cut the rope tied to your waist.'

There was a moment of silence and the man decided to hold on to the rope with all his strength.

What is the moral lesson of this story?

The rescue team tells that the next day a climber was found dead and frozen, his body hanging from a rope. His hands holding tight to it. Only one foot away from the ground. And We? How attached we are to the rope untill we let go??? Don't ever doubt about the words of God. We should never say that He has forgotten us or abandoned us.

THE LONGEST STORY IN THE WORLD

Do you know the story about the longest story in the world?

Once upon a time there lived a chief who liked to listen to stories. And he knew so many stories that sometimes he stopped the story-teller and finished the story himself. One day the chief sent his servants everywhere to find a good story-teller.

"Our Chief will give many presents to the man who will tell him the longest story in the world and make him laugh."

The servants shouted in the streets. Many people came to the chief and told him very long stories. They tried to make him laugh. But nobody could do that. The chief always said, "That is not the longest story and there is nothing to laugh at."

Once a boy came to the chief and said, "Oh, my Chief, let me try to tell you the longest story in the world and make you laugh."

The chief said, "Well, sit down and begin your story!" The boy began.

"Long, long ago there lived a man, Mogambo by name. He ate so much that no man could feed him full. The chief of that country heard about Mogambo and said, 'Bring him to me. I shall feed him fully.' And he ordered his people to bring hundreds of thousands of pots of soup, meat, and fruit. Hundreds of camels carried the pots on their backs. The camels stopped in front of the chief’s house. Many people came to see Mogambo's dinner.

Then Mogambo came. The drummers began to drum. The musicians began to play. And the people sang songs. Mogambo made a bow to the chief and said to the people, 'Now look at me! Look at me! Look at me!' With these words Mogambo began to eat soup. And he ate. And he ate. And he ate. And he ate. And he ate.

"Well, what then?" asked the chief, "He ate. And he ate. And what then?"

"Oh, my chief," answered the boy, "this is only the first pot and there were many thousands of pots! Wait a little. And he ate. And he ate. And he ate.

Evening came. The boy went on with his story. “And he ate. And he ate.

At last the chief ordered him to stop till the next morning. In the morning the chief asked the boy to go on with his story.

"Now what can you tell us about your Mogambo?" he asked.

"Oh, my Chief, he not only ate, but drank too, so he drank and then he ate and he ate and he ate."

The story-teller said louder and louder, "and he ate and he ate and he ate."

The chief looked at the boy and began to laugh.

"Well, my boy, your story is the longest in the world! Have a rest now! Stop!"

And the young story-teller stopped his story, got many presents from the chief, climbed up on a camel and rode away with these words: "And he ate, and he ate, and he ate"
