Gratitude; is also being happy for other people

Someone just shared to me a very DISAPPOINTING post. To think I actually respect these people and even looks up to them as supposedly "good examples" 😞

I hope you people don't get your tongues burned every-time you partake of the sacrament. How sad to know that there are people who mask their "CRAB MENTALITY" in the guise of "CRITICISM & MERE OBSERVATION." If that's true then why do they need to advertise it in social media? Why can't they just keep their unsolicited opinions to themselves? Why can't they be happy for people who are trying to find comfort from the kindness of other people. Do we not have the same right as everyone else? Are you the only people that Jesus Christ died for and atoned for your sins? In the words of Abinadi "have ye not read the scriptures?" and if so "ye did not understand them." 

The essence of "LOVING ONE ANOTHER" is actually "BEING HAPPY WHEN OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAPPY." That includes  not gossiping others when you yourself is not perfect. I hope Heavenly Father will continue to bless your family with prosperity and comfort. Pray hard that the wheels of life don't turn around, that someday you will be placed in the same situation that we poor and destitute people are in. I pray that God will be merciful to you and not curse you and your love ones just to make you HUMBLE. Be careful what you say and when you try to excuse yourself and start justifying your actions. 

Be wise and ask yourself "WOULD JESUS CHRIST ACT AND DO THE SAME THINGS I DO?"

To those who are genuinely honest and kind, people like me are always 

grateful and praying for your happiness. Because you don't judge people like us but have an understanding heart to which the motto of the relief society holds true "CHARITY NEVER FAILETH."

We need more members in the church like you (^^,)

Dear Mother

Mom, I'm sorry for everything I do that makes it more difficult for you. I grew up in an environment that has shape me to be tough, strong

and unyielding just like you. But know that I love you so much! I'm sorry for all the fights and selfish attitude I have. I know have hurt your feelings many times...

For that I am truly sorry and sorrowful. Despite all of this mom, I still and always will love you.

I know that all our trials will only be for a moment. I know that God is mindful of our family and mindful of your tearful pleadings and prayers. I always pray in my heart that one day we will all wake up one morning and everything will be alright. But I know Mom, that God allows trials to refine us but not to defeat us.

I love you and our family so much. I will not give up on us. I know someday we will all be laughing again and find that joy that you have so earnestly tried to envelope us.

I recognize all your sacrifices for me and for all of us your children. We will forever be grateful to you. I love you Mom! We Love you! You are not alone and will never be alone.

ME, Shadel, Jomjom and our other family members will always be here for you.

10 behaviors of genuine people (REPOST)

 I saw one of my FB friends posted about the 10 behaviors of genuine people, i felt all of the sudden to repost it this time in my blog. For the record.

In case you're wondering, genuine means actual, real, sincere, honest. Genuine people are more or less the same on the inside as their behavior is on the outside. Unfortunately, it's a tough quality to discern. The problem is that all human interactions are relative. They’re all a function of how we perceive each other through our own subjective lenses.

1. They don't seek attention
2. They can tell if others are full of it. (genuine are not naive)
3. They are not concerned of being like. (confident and authentic people are simply themselves)
4. They do what they say, and say what they mean. (They don’t tend to overreach or exaggerate. They meet their commitments. )
5. They don't need a lot of stuff. (You find happiness in the simple things.)
6. Not easily offended
7. They're consistent.
Genuine people see themselves as others would if they were objective observers.

I am humbled by your unselfish gesture of love.

I have always been fascinated by angels everytime I read the scriptures. Even as a kid I always imagine having a guardian angel that I can call to in times of need. But as I grew up and as reality set's in, I often wonder how it would feel like actually seeing an angel. Will the experience be Like Nephi's brothers? or Alma the Younger? I alway's did hope to meet one.

I have not since prayed more fervently and pleaded more tearfully for God to send down angels to listen and care. Perhaps I really never outgrew the thought of guardian angel's protecting and helping me. But indeed Heavenly Father is not deaf and does hear my prayers.

You are an angel to me, specially when i needed a friend most. I am humbled by your unselfish gesture of love. Your action speaks well of you. Indeed you need not boast any of your wonderful virtues. That is why I have learned to admire you the most. You are truly beautiful inside and out.

No matter how much I say it, no words can fully express the gratitude that I feel. Thank You so Much!

May you be blessed and find happiness that you deserve because of your genuine charity. May your family and those who truly love you see you for who you are. A beautiful daughter of deity. A wonderful friend. A good example that is worth noticing and acknowledging.
