Life...

This week will surely be personal for most of us who are deeply spiritual. I watched the 14th lenten recollection that was aired on national television this afternoon and it was headed by Father Jerry Orbos. Usually, i get tired of watching the "sharers" doing, well, sharing their experiences and anecdotes that never seem to end. It was particularly different this time as I got hooked up with their stories and I could tell it was genuinely heartfelt. With a lot of them have gone through the toughest of times, you as the audience would find yourself indifferent from what they've experienced. Hoowww! I may find myself contemplating on a lot of things this coming week. I particularly liked what father jessie orbos said about the good news and bad news and I qoute " the bad news is, when you go home, nothing has changed, same faces, same problems. But the good news is, your views and perspective in life will change, and the best change in your life, would be you".
To say that Life has been difficult for me is an understatement. All people would feel the same way. Although rich people wouldn't dare admit, im pretty sure their lows are monumentally similar with ours. One sharer said that she no longer sees trials and mishaps as punishments for all the wrongs she's done but blessings. It bothers me that I know this for a fact and its extremely hard to believe if your clouded with negativity and hopelessness. God is out there, we all are living testaments of his existence. Let us open ourselves to him and be happy.
