Reaching Out Without Arms...

I read somewhere about happiness, it goes like this "If you want happiness for a day, go fishing. If you want happiness for a month, buy a new car. If you want happiness for a year, inherit a fortune. But if you want happiness for a lifetime, help others."

I am asking you today my friend, who are you helping today in your life. Are you helping others to be great in life? Or are you just helping them to be bad? LOL…. Are you encouraging somebody? Are you investing your time and energy to make someone else better? Look around you, there are a lot of people that needs your help.

One thing I like about my new job as a physical therapist is that we get to help people, seeing patients in a bed ridden position, then you see them slowly get up, slowly stand up, slowly walking is such a pleasure. Helping people recover and encourage them to walk and stand again is much better than any other job in the world.

And I read a story about a person without arms and feet also known as phocomelia. His name is Nick Vujijiv. He was born with no upper and lower extremities, he totally cannot walk, I believe his parents were so discourage. But after a few years, they discovered something about this child. When Nick grew up, he only not became famous about his condition, but he is now a famous inspirational speaker. He goes around the world speaking about the goodness of God. Ofcourse he couldn’t march or run. I believe he is in a wheelchair. But that did not stop him. And I believe his father told that when Nick was first born, he and his wife would have said “God, why us? What did we do to deserve a child like this?” Now I think, they ask the question in a different tone, “God, why us? What did we do to deserve such a great child like Nick, a child that could bring us so much joy and encourage other people” What if Nick’s parents gave up on him? What if they didn’t help him in this life? Where would be Nick right now?





Today, I encourage you my friend to look for ways to help others, don’t be afraid to go out of your way to help other people. Always remember, when you reach out and encourage other, its as if you are reaching out to God Himself. I believe God will bless you when you also bless others.

Roots to Fruits

As an Overseas Filipino Worker (OFW), I always make it a point to talk to my family in the Philippines online; we usually use Yahoo Messenger, and thank you very much for this technology. And while talking to my eldest daughter Alyssa, she recited the parts of the tree and to my surprise; she even knows the parts of a leaf.


And I want to share something about this magnificent creation from God. According to the good book, "Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful; But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and in His law he meditates day and night.  He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper." (Psalm 1:1-3)



If you want to be a good tree, we need to have the following parts of a tree. From the roots, branches, trunk, leaves and fruit. We need to be planted first in a good soil, I believe it is God who plants us, siya naglalagay sa atin kung saan tayo pwede lumago, He will put us in a position wherein He knows we will grow as a person.


We also need to have roots; we needed to be firmly rooted to the word of God. We need to be rooted to a good soil, in life; we need to be rooted to good friends, good environment and a good church. And we need to grow where we are planted.


We need to have a stable trunk, there will come a time, people will try to cut you down, stay away from people who are negative, they may try to cut you down, but having a good trunk will stabilize your life. When people start to bark on the wrong tree, you have to learn to let it go and be strong.


We need to have branches, I like what Pastor Steve said in his book, he said, we need to engage our community; we need to branch out, engage with the people around you, talk to them, encourage them, bring the best out of them. And if you really believe in something, don’t be afraid to go out on a limb. And as a branch, we also need to be flexible so we don’t have to break when harsh wind blows.


We need to have leaves, I just don’t know how to relate this to life, but having leaves will make this tree more beautiful, just like in life, we need to make our lives beautiful. Oh, and this is a part of the tree where photosynthesis is processed. You need to get LIGHT into your life.

And lastly, we need to have fruits, kailangan natin ng bunga, the fruit of the Holy Spirit, we need to have Love, Joy, Peace, Longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self control.


We need all of this in our lives to be able to be a good tree.  There’s a lot we can learn from trees. But wait a minute capeng mainit, To tell you the truth, I don’t have all of these qualities as of now, like a tree, we are all still growing, we are still in a process, you may be like a small seed pa lang, you may be in a part that you are still growing, you may be in the process of growing your branches, you may be the part of having leaves na, or you may be having fruits na, kaso maasim nga lang, hehe… But let me tell you something, we are all in a process and we should follow this process from root to the fruit and make sure we follow the right process from God…

Lakers vs Cavaliers



Okay, maybe the Cavaliers lost Lebron James in a major major mega trade something deal, but they won against the world champions lately, guess what made them win? It is because they have their home court advantage, let’s face it, when you know that your home court is cheering you, when you know when the people who are watching is on your side, it will give you an extra boost, even though it is a mental thing, it will affect your physical performance. Players perform better because they know that the crowd has confidence in them.



Same with our lives friends, ka-facebook, ka-friendsters, I want to share a story when I took the NPTE state board exam, I hate to say this, but I graduated way back in the late 90’s and I am not really confident in taking the exam, guess what who cheered me on my exam, it was my wife and my daughter Alyssa, my wife encourage me that I will pass the exam, that I will overcome any challenges that I will encounter, my daughter Alyssa also encouraged me to just relax during the exam and know that Jesus is on my side when taking the exam, because that is what she do when she takes an exam daw. It is amazing what you can accomplish in life when you know people are cheering on you and believing the best in you.


In the Bible, it talks about great heroes who did amazing things they accomplished for God, to name a few are Moses, Abraham, David etcetera etcetera… They all believe in God’s promises. I believe it was God who encouraged them.  Let me also encourage you my friend that in this life we are running, we are not alone, we have the heaven on our side. You may be saying, I can’t do this, I can no longer finish this trials, I want to give up, I want to die, I want to resign, I want to end this marriage, I want this, I want that… but the Heaven is saying “Keep going on, keep pushing, keep running and don’t give up, you may get tired, but God will help you through it” I always say this to my friends who are planning to go abroad, if I can do it, you can do it too!



Always realize my friend that you have home court advantage, if God is for you, who can be against you.

Happy Birthday MOMMY!!! I am blessed to have you as my wife!


A person asked me what the greatest commandment in life is. I prompted that the greatest is to love God, the second is to love your neighbor as yourself. This connection is a three part system, the connection between you and God, between you and others and between you. I read sa financial books, you cannot give what you do not have, you cannot donate money if you do not have money, same with love, you cannot give love, without having love. We need to love our selves first, before we can love others.
I am not saying be selfish, but it is about honoring and following God’s commandment. I just like how my wife love’s herself so much, she loves taking care of herself, fixing her hair, taking time to put make up, taking time to carefully choose her wardrobe for the following day, taking time to fix her stuffs. It just shows how she loves herself so much, kaya naman kapag nag-mahal siya, sobra sobra, siksik, liglig at umaapaw. And just imagine how loved I am when she gives her love to me, how pampered I am sa kanyang pagmamahal. That is how she gives her love to me, because she can give what she has, LOVE… Kaya naman lagi ko tanggap ng tanggap ng pagmamahal niya. I love you for that mommy!
Same with our God, He loves us so unconditionally; He gives us everything we all need. So I encourage you today my friend to receive God’s love. Ask God to show you His LOVE, when you accept God’s love, you will be set free from any kind of inferiority and insecurity. And the more we accept God’s love, the more we are able to give in return to God and of course to other people around us.
And if you have never accepted God’s love and forgiveness, let me encourage you to do so. I was talking to a friend of mine about religion, and it came to a point about being religious and talking about having a savior, I am not talking about religion here, what I am talking about is that personal relationship with God through His Son Jesus Christ, and it is very simple, just ask Jesus in your heart. Talk to Him, tell him that you need a savior and believe that He is the son of God that He died for your sins and asking Him to come into your life and accepting Him as your Lord and savior.
