God's Boxes


I have in my hands two boxes,
Which God gave me to hold.
He said, "Put all your sorrows in the black box, And all your joys in the gold."

I heeded His words, and in the two boxes,
Both my joys and sorrows I stored,
But though the gold became heavier each day, The black was as light as before.
With curiosity, I opened the black,
I wanted to find out why,
And I saw, in the base of the box, a hole,
Which my sorrows had fallen out by.

I showed the hole to God, and mused,
"I wonder where my sorrows could be!"
He smiled a gentle smile and said,
"My child, they're all here with me.."
I asked God, why He gave me the boxes,
Why the gold and the black with the hole?
"My child, the gold is for you to count your blessings,
The black is for you to let go."

Take Over


Have you ever experienced loads of academic works, need to beat the deadliest deadline, cope up the 50-50 condition grade?

How did you handle these things? How did you respond to the world’s pressure and expectations?

As a Development Communication (Devcom) student, it’s never been new to me to deal on pressures and expectations. Beating the deadliest deadline, working on the eleventh hour to cope up the 50-50 condition grade.

Just last October 2, 2011, I was bothered by a requirement the 540 pages book making activity in our Agrim 52 lecture and lab, headed by Ms. Kathleen Arana and Mr. Ronnie Dane Alonzo. My first attempt to finish had failed and for the second attempt, in just three hours and half I had finish my book and passed it. Thereafter, I finish my DC 2- Fundamentals of Radio Broadcasting, radio drama activity, was done and was able to passed it that day.

For me it is an eleventh hour answered prayer. Yet for God there is no such early and late moments, for He is just on time. He took over the time where I was hopeless, tired of getting things worked, done and okay. He took over my emotional problems that started to ruin my life. He took over when my dreams have shattered into pieces. He has been my everything when I have nothing to give and no one to lean on. When the time comes that I can give…He’s been my inspiration to have the passion and love towards my fellowmen.

It’s so nice to have be with Him and work with Him. He’ll get the work just in time.

~Thank you for being my Dad who loves and provides my need.
