How to love your wife


(Biblical advice by our beloved Pastor, Rev. Provy R. Cadeliña, to Preacher Dennis on his wedding day. Glad, I was able then to record on my phone. A very good counsel to keep and such wisdom to share.)

Unless a man has a sense of wholeness in his heart, satisfying everyday with the love of God, there is no way that he would be able to endure all the trials in married life. Kaya dapat ang lalaki bago pa yan nag-asawa, satisfied na siya sa pag-ibig ng Panginoon sa kaniya. It so happened that the Lord had to create a partner to Adam, not because he is lonely but because he was alone. There is a difference between being lonely and being alone. Lonely means that you are sad. Alone means that you do not have companion. Adam was not lonely, he was just alone. And so God had to give him a partner to tend the garden. And that is the wife.

The man or the husband is only capable of dispensing love to his wife in the same measure that he would be able to feed on God’s love toward him. Therefore, a man must focus on God, he must focus on Christ, and he must continue to learn and continue to explore and dig the depth, the width, and the height of God’s love. For it is until then that a man is only able to give divine agape love to his wife - a love that is unconditional, a love that is sacrificial, and a love that is enduring. That love only comes from God. And if a man knows how to feed on God’s love, he will be able to show to his wife that same love that Christ had given to the church.

#AnsweredPrayer
Sir Dennis was my prayer partner during our prayer meeting in our church at HBBC Bacarra on November 5, 2014. When I asked his prayer request, he beamed as he said, 'lifetime partner.' Penned this on my journal a night after. November 20, 2014, he later gave an update with a text message informing that I will be one of his groomsmen!

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. ...

Pamana

One historian said, "PAMANA (Heritage) is something that is passed down from one generation to the next. Heritage are also family’s tradition, values, wisdom, principles, and formed experiences that are not static but revolves over time ." This poem is inspired by 1 Thessalonians 1:3. Luma, sira, kinakalawang: Ano bang saysay nito sa kasalukuyan? Piping saksi po ito ng nakaraan, Tanglaw ng pamana sa kinabukasan.   Kung makakapagsalita lamang ang bagay na ito, Tiyak kong marami din itong maikukuwento, Kuwentong dapat mong marinig - Pananampalataya, pag-asa, at pag-ibig.   Hindi lamang ito pangkaraniwang padyak. Sa Diyos ipinalangin at kaniyang iniyak, Kaligtasan ng kapwa inibig niyang matiyak Pati anghel sa langit, labis ang galak!   Ito ang lumang bisikleta ni Ptr.Jhune Cadeliña, Katuwang niya nang HBBC ay nagsimula. Kayamanang maituturing noon pang dekada otsenta, Piping saksi sa maraming kuwentong biyaya.   Walang patid kong ...

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 ...
