The ODB (Our Daily Bread devotional) reminded me that day that we are at our best when we are serving others. This inspired me to do the task that has given to me on my friend's wedding.

I was filled with joy holding the microphone towards him that moment.

His joy was just so contagious.

The lad whom I first met in my elementary days;

the teenager who dreamed to be a lawyer someday;

the soul who encouraged me with a text message, "I have a good news, Christian na ako!";

the cum laude who believes in answered prayers;

the young man who loved to inspire people to persevere was turning to another chapter of his life.

I was blessed to see him happy. The groom whom I have just known we are third degree cousins on his wedding day wept with joy as he gave his vow,

 

"... sorry if I have not given you your dream wedding. I may not be able to give the best wedding but I promise to give to you the best marriage."

 

That vow captured our hearts. The best marriage is when God is the head in the relationship (1 Corinthians 11:3). Relating to this, sharing also below what I posted on my Fb on 05.08.2016:

"...the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God." 

I Corinthians 11:3

Exactly two years ago at Baguio City. I was TOO YOUNG then (*beam. . . sniff*) to witness a groom and a bride weeping with joy as they exchange their vows. 

The groom said,

"... sorry if I have not given you your dream wedding. I may not be able to give the best wedding but I promise to give to you the best marriage."

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...
