What the Stars and the Sky Tell Me About Life

Stars are heavenly bodies that we see above the beautiful night sky. They shine very brightly every night. Sometimes we see group of stars that form patterns. They are called constellations. But what do really stars and the sky above tell us about life? Well, that is a big question, isn' it?

Sometimes we dream how can we shine brightly like tha stars. We tdream of having lots of money, a big mansion, hundreds of cars, power, popularity, and everything in this world.Do you really think that these things can help you have a good life? Well, the only answer is NO. Money can't save your life, well it can pay thebills in the hospital and medicinebut it can't change the mind of God. A big mansion can securely shelter you, the cars can take you anywhere you want but it can't lead to the kingdom of God. Popularity is a good thing but does God recognizes your good doings in life? We don't need all those things to have a better life. We just need love, courage, hope, and the helping hands of God. We need to love our work or duty.We can't do that if we don't have the courage. And there is always hope in everything that is hanging. Without the helping hands of God, we won't succeed in our mission because He is the one who only knows what is our mission in this big sinful world. These are the things which we need.

A star is born ininto the night sky. It shines upon the earth every night. After so many years, its light will die out. Comparing a star with a person, a baby is born while a star is also born. Then, after so many years, the baby who was born becomes old and eventually pass away. The cycle of life is always like that. Everyone is born to this world by their moms and everyone dies back. We can only live our lives once so let us take all the chances we have. Let's enjoy our lives and live to the fullest, just like the stars. They shine their bright lights every evening to the fullest. Explore the beauty and the goodness of the world as the star also explores the wideness of the universe.

The life of us people can be compared with the stars. The stars shine brightly above the clear sky during nighttime while people also are shining with money, and popularity. A star is born and a baby is spit out on earth. The star becomes old after so many years as the baby becomes old, too. Then, God finds a way to get back our lives while the star's light dies out. Our life is really like a star's life.

Only God Knows

Have you ever tried going to a place where there are many different kinds of wild animals, flowers, tall trees, and etc.? Have you ever tried going somewhere that’s like paradise? Maybe not, because only those people who were living their lives in a good way can go to that very sacred place, as what they say.
We all know that after so many years living in this sinful world, we go back to where we’ve come from. We, human beings don’t know how it is going to be after our deaths. Some people also say that when it is time for us to leave the world, our pasts will flash back. Well, we don’t if it’s really true.
What could be the feeling when your time has come for you to leave this evil world? I really want to experience that kind of feeling. We all know that we are going to experience that, but what is it like when you experience that and go back to earth? What could be the feeling after, that you have seen our Lord God?
I know a person that has been experienced that kind of a revelation. He said that he saw Jesus Christ our savior. He died for a while but he lived again. I don’t know if this is a lie, but I totally do believe in him. That’s what you call a “miracle”. He also said that Christ showed up to him in his room many times during nighttime.
Many people in the past believed that there really is life after death. Because of this belief, they praise different kinds of gods so that when they die, the gods would let them live in paradise. I don’t know if there is life after death but what I do really know is that God is watching us everyday in our lives. He protects us from all signs of evil but sometimes, we ourselves go to the evil side.
In children’s world, they know that when you commit a sin, you couldn’t go to heaven. This is what their parents always say to them so that they will be good. Most of the children are scared not to go to heaven so they follow the instructions of their parents.
Other kids also don’t believe that they can’t go to heaven when they are bad. They disobey their parents who are trying to make them good at all times.
Who would meet us to the other side of the world? Will we be in paradise? Or will we be in a place where darkness reigns? Would He allow us to enter His kingdom? These are the questions that come up to our minds when we are almost close to our graves. We, people always want an answer. But the only one who could answer these questions is God. He knows everything that is happening in our lives. And we even don’t know when he will get our lives back. Only God knows.

During Birthdays

What do you feel when it is your birthday? What are the things that you expect from the people around you to do when the day of your birth comes? By the way, when is your birthday?

I really don't expect so much from the people around me when my birthday comes. That's because nobody cares except when you are still a baby or you are still a child. That's what I have observed from the the people of the world nowadays. In the past, people totally do prepare or they never forget the dates when did that "child" was born to this sinful world. They always prepare for something special even if it is not grand but it comes from the heart. But people in this living world nowadays don't really care because of their other businesses that are less important than your birthday. They always look more forward to things which they can earn more money. But what is the use of lots of money when the people around you aren't even happy?

Some other people also just forget your birthday because of the problems that are confusing them very much, such as financial problems. That is the number reason why they forget things that are very important. They don't think of nothing else but to find a way how they could earn money easily.

The people that I only know who cares of special things are those people in the past. Just like our grandfathers and grandmothers. These people are so sweet. They treat people in a very good way. They entertain those who are lonely. And most especially, they don't forget special things in life. But the sad thing there is that they are now only few and their lives are shortened now.

I wish I could meet more people those who are thoughtful of important things in life. I hope there are more people so that a person like me will not be lonely when his or her birthday will come. And I hope those people who have read this blog of mine will now care their loved ones, especially during the day of their birth.
