Not yet…

Friday, February 29th, 2008

Last night before sleeping, I was just filled with so much joy.  Please read through the whole post as I wanted to share with you the most beautiful thought that ever graced my mind. It filled me with so much love last night and I wanted to share this with you.  Who knows where thoughts come from, but this one, I feel it’s Jesus’ whisper. :haay:

An angel ran towards the edge of the clouds… excited, sad and reaching out.  Before the child reached the edge, Jesus timely embraced the child from behind.  The child struggling to let go from the embrace.

“Jesus, can I go now?”, the child pleaded.  “Not yet, my child.”, Jesus said.

“But Mama is crying.  I want to hug her…I want to be with her and dad.”, the child went on while looking down beyond the clouds.

“She will feel your hug.  I promise.  She will know”, Jesus comforted the child.  Tears filled up the child’s eyes while looking  down and almost wishing the child was where she was.

“Your mama is not yet ready.  I am still healing her.  Soon, I will let you go.  Soon.”, Jesus added.pic31101.jpg

“Mama, please don’t cry.  I feel sad when you cry.  Jesus said I will meet you soon.  Please wait with me.  I am excited to be with you and dad. “, the child spoke beyond the clouds.  “Jesus said soon.”, the child said while questioningly looking at Jesus.

“Soon, my child.”, Jesus answered as He embraced the child. 

Call me crazy but it felt almost like a dream when this thought flooded my mind and brought so much warmth to my heart.  I was in tears but smiling while I pray “Thank you.  Thank you for letting me feel our angel’s hug.”

So, from now on, I will remember this thought whenever I face a similar challenge as this. Definitely be my new strength. :innocent:

Now, tell me, isn’t that the most beautiful thought ever?!  :inlove:

Taste of your own medicine…

Wednesday, February 27th, 2008

There you are, faced with an opportunity to actually give someone a taste of his own medicine.

“Maybe he will realize what it’s like to be on the receiving end of his actions.”, you wickedly thought.

“Maybe if I do this, he will come to his senses.”, you continue.

This could be a most awaited moment for you. A chance to inflict the same pain towards this person who have hurt you or offended you. Maybe even ignore that someone who have done the same.

I found myself at the Start of this wicked marathon today. Being human, I contemplated how I could inflict the exact same feeling on him. Also considered taking time as my accomplice and allow this moment to linger… to prolong the process.

“Maybe the lessons taught will be harder, therefore more effective.”, I whispered to myself.

Unknowingly, a more vengeful thought takes over… “maybe revenge will be sweeter…”, I secretly meant.

“Will this change him somehow?”, I asked myself. “Will it make him a better person?”, I analyzed some more.

I have thought about pouring out some of this here before… in the form of a diverting poem. I jotted down the thoughts. I phrased the lines… but I never completed it. Then this opportunity came.

I gave it so much thought… and even more. (this I learned from hubby… think before you speak or do anything - buys us time… to deal with it better)

It was when I glanced at my Lenten Sacrifices that I realized, “Why not treat him with kindness instead?”.

“Revenge is never sweeter. It brings so much bitter after taste.”

It was then, I felt peace in deciding to take the “kindness” stand. I saw how I didn’t like how his attitude made me feel and didn’t want that dark cloud to shadow me any further. “So, why should I act in the same way, when I know it will only hurt someone else?!”, I pondered.

I decided to give him a sweeter taste of the person in me. :innocent: Hopefully, he pays it forward. By doing it, I already received the reward I wanted. Inner peace. :innocent:

Extra income

Wednesday, February 27th, 2008

It’s been months since I started to explore earning extra income from doing something I love - blogging. I have tried a few before and was quite happy knowing that I was earning something from this sport :kindat: and not just wasting real time..and internet time.

I signed up to payperpost quite some time ago but never really took it a step further until recently when I stumbled upon a blog post wherein there was a big and bold mention of $14,000 a year of earnings from Payperpost.  It got me seeing dollars… :kaching: :kaching: I calculated it in dirhams… per month.

“Gosh! That will definitely not hurt at all!”

I logged in my payperpost dashboard and saw this!

I then realized that there was so much more to this than I thought!

What I like about this is that they encourage you to keep your blog more personal and not just job. It is a requirement to have a personal post before and after the sponsored one. I definitely want to keep my blog more personal than commercial which I feel could turn off readers. Plus, my main reason for blogging is to express myself… so why should I let anything change that?!

Moreover, having lots of choices to choose from is a major plus. It’s hard enough to think of blogging about products or services but it would be worse if you cannot choose which service or product to blog about. Otherwise, it would’ve become a chore! We don’t want that!

You know what…as a way to give you some credit for posting for them, they can even feature your blog as Blog of the day! Now, that’s free advertising. For those who are concerned about page ranks and hit numbers… that should bring some sparkle in their eyes.

Anyway… let’s see how this goes… What do you know… :sanapo: I could be so much closer to my dream of being financially independent with passive income to live on! :boogie:
