An Excerpt from the Bible
Do not judge, or you too will be judged.
For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged and with
the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged and with
the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
This is so true and I definitely believe in it. But I never got to read this until today when I searched for judgmental quotes online. You might be wondering of what prompted me to search for those kind of quotes. Well, I just felt like I’ve been judged today and I felt like they have no right of doing so because they don’t know me personally. More so, the person who judged me is known to be a church person or a spiritual person whose husband is a pastor.
It got me into thinking though. Do they ever read the bible or do they have one? From what they did, they probably don’t.
Disturbed!
This day has not been a good one. It started good but with the blink of an eye, everything just went tumbling down. But on the contrary, everything was already okay around midday but things changed again after I read a comment from a person I don’t personally know but just knew her through what had been told on me.
Her comment just made me disturbed from the moment I’ve read it. She wasn’t direct but her use of a certain word just pained me. I felt like I was accused of such thing. I wanted so badly to answer her because I feel that was so inconsiderate of her and so judgmental but I chose not too. And I’m just so glad that I was able to hold my emotions because I’m pretty certain I would have created a problem.
For now, I will let this thing pass. I will let them think of what they wanted to think. They are free anyway. But, I don’t think I’ll be able to hold back again next time. I do hope I will still. Wish me luck!
Practice the Pause!
My SIL Karen is fond of forwarding nice and meaningful quotes in my cellphone almost every single day. I saved and keep them in a folder and share them with my friends whenever I get the chance. And today I got the chance to share one great thought to ponder. Read…
When in doubt, pause. When angry, pause. When tired, pause. When stressed, pause. And when you pause…PRAY, then breathe, clear the mind, view from different perspective then smile.
Isn’t that a nice one? Hope you’ll ponder on it and I hope it will make your day a little brighter and lighter. Have a nice day! (“,)
Chat with A Good Friend
After a long while, my friend Joy and I were able to chat again last night. We used to chat on yahoo way back during my break when I was still training as MT. We had a lot of catching up to do because even though we have our cellphones, still our busy lives hinder us from keeping in touch more often. She was at her brother’s house last night and was not preoccupied so she sent me an SMS so we can chat. It was already around 10 o’clock in the evening then so we didn’t get to talk much because my son Yogi was already sleepy and was adamant to go to bed.
It was nice talking to her again. I remember those days when we used to talk on the landline too like we never run out of words to say and stories to tell. But it stopped when they had their landline disconnected. They never had it reconnected since all of them in the family have cellphones already. But you do know how costly it is to talk on mobile so that thing of our past was never done again and we both missed it. We both hope that we’d be able to hang out again pretty soon. We still have some catching up to do inspite of the chat last night. (“,)
Power Outages…Grrr!
It’s been more or less three months now that we are experiencing this annoying and irritating power outages and only God knows until when we are going to suffer from this. The schedule of rotational brownouts were lifted for like a week – during the election – and what a relief it was. But oh well, that was only it, because today started the series of brownouts again. We were actually told last week that brownouts will be six hours straight with six hours interval for a total of 12 hours brownouts a day. Glad that plan didn’t push through. Our brownouts will only be three hours a day and it started today.
Yes, I should be happy because it was reduced to just three hours a day but then again, it still is irritating. It was so hot this afternoon and it just sucks without even an electric fan to help lessen the heat. Grrr! Do I sound like a tiger now? Well, for sure, I’m not the only one fuming mad around here.
