happy birthday mama mary!!!!
eto, something from the fishbowl... something to ponder on.
Our culture does not like the ordinary. All our advertising tells us that in order to be valuable, we have to "step out of the ordinary". We have to "make our mark", "be unique", "stand out of the crowd". Realistically, though, few of us will either achieve fame or notoriety. We live ordinary lives. By the world's standards, we'll never be a big success.
Mary and Joseph's lives give us a different perspective. They show us that the world's standards aren't God's standards. By the world's standards, Mary and Joseph are nobodies. By God's standards, they're superstars. Which standards do you choose to meet?
I use God's standards, not the standards of the world.
anyway, parang naasar lang ako sa kinahahatnan ng aking sarili sa personal kong pagmumuni. i mean i still do not get any respect from most people, my reputation precedes me, and i feel that i am going nowhere. it's like i have been dealt constantly with bad hands in bridge, and no matter how hard you try to work with it, you still come up on the short end of the stick. complicate that with my current confused emotional feeling state... sheesh...
moving on,
joyce, may you be like that M&M. be colorful and sweet.
