Love Even the Earth Trembles


Love Enduring Promise | A Beautiful Wedding

 Ebuenga-Ang Nuptials

Such an honour to be one of the ushers of this wedding. Stood there at the back, I thought of taking this photo while we were joyful listening to Kuya Roldan, the groom. Then a sudden shake was felt.

This captured that moment when magnitude 5.8 earthquake hit Ilocos Norte on Monday, May 6, 2019. The groom then was delivering his powerful vow. The bride was still and calmed listening attentively to her groom. The groomsmen, the bridal entourage... everyone was prayerful. A picture of love even the earth trembles.

The officiating and exhorting minister was ofcourse our beloved pastor, Rev. Provy R. Cadeliña. He shared 7 vital keys to lasting marriage:


          1. Fortify faith.
          2. Remember your roles.
          3. Cultivate contentment.
          4. Vanish bitterness.
          5. Continue communication.
          6. Refresh romance.
          7. Practice prayer.


Such wisdom from a humble servant of God. Such exhortation for either bachelors or young couples. Such guidance even to married people for so long. Such reminder to love even the earth trembles.

Biblical love has also been expressed on that same day. That occasion was gathered because of love. And the greatest love has been shared. The Gospel has been preached.

John 3:16 
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

To God be the glory!

COMMITMENT SPEECH SAMPLE

It was August of last year when my niece asked me to help her making a commitment speech for their induction program. We tried at least to become relevant – August is Buwan ng Wika, so we decided to use most of it in Filipino; she loves Mathematics, so we agreed to use and relate Math as her introduction; she is not actually fluent in English (and she admits that), so she practiced her pagka-maka-bayan kuno! 😁 Below is the full text of her speech and I found it saved on my laptop. ****************************************** Our esteemed Guest speaker, our active School Principal, Faculty and Facilitative Staffs, Fellow Officers, Fellow Students, Ladies and Gentlemen, a pleasant morning to one and all. Hayaan po ninyo akong gumamit ng wikang Filipino bilang bahagi sa pagpapahayag ng aking talumpati sa umagang ito. Ngayong ika-anim na taon ko sa paaralang ito, naisip kong paano kaya kung wikang Filipino ang gamitin sa pagtuturo sa asignaturang Sipnayan a.k.a. ...

Another Filipinos' Battle Cry (Election Reflection)

(With the culture and lifestyle that we have, something fascinates me with the past. I am learning to love history.) It has been said, "Change is coming!" I am wondering why the face of P5 coin has been changed.. Pagpaparangal po ba ito sa sinasabing totoong UNANG PANGULO NG PILIPINAS? Two icons of the past. The one was called Supremo and the other was El Presidente . Both with great influence. The one was a brave 'leader' and the other was treated as an 'idol' by his followers. Both dreamed for Phillippines' independence. The one led for Katipunan, a then secret society that ignited the flames of Phillippine revolution against the Spanish empire. The other was a capable general who waved the Philippine flag and declared the country's independence on June 12, 1898. He later brought Filipinos to Intramuros, just a step way for liberty from colonizers. But at the very moment that he needed to be strong and cunning, he chose ...

You are beautiful!

(Just a personal musing) You are beautiful. You are like a princess staying inside the castle and patiently waiting there your prince charming.  You are not fearful. You chose not to go beyond the boundary because you know you are not deprived but secured and protected. You are courageous. You are brave to obey in staying inside because you trust and believe. I am sorry if you are waiting that long. I look myself unworthy to be called your prince. I am wounded and weak. I have not engaged in a battle before where this kind of valor is a prerequisite. I kept telling myself that I am a warrior. I do not trust on my chariot and horses. But I am waiting for that day that they will bring me where you are. I am waiting for that day that I could tell to you that I will not promise you to be the best prince charming in the world - our story will not be a fairy tale and fantasy. I am waiting for that day that I could boldly say to you with God's grace that I will stri...
