I feel happy today. My friends from Baguio are on vacation here in Vigan and we just spent the whole afternoon together. I toured them around on the local sites. We then went to our house for a quick tour and merienda afterwards. We headed to the beach to catch a glimpse of the sunset and then they brought me home... One of the happiest days of my life.
DAY SIX
THINKING ABOUT MY PURPOSE
POINT TO PONDER: This world is not my home.
VERSE TO REMEMBER: "So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." 2 Corinthians 4:18
QUESTION TO CONSIDER: How should the fact that life on earth is just a temporary assignment change the way I am living right now?
The fact that life on earth is just a temporary thing does not mean that we should live on the "here and now"... Actually this is the wrong way of going about it. We should focus on the bigger picture, view our life as a preparation for the time when we go back to our real home, HEAVEN. I for one, should stop worrying whether I'd be a big hit in my career or all of the worries and fears that I have. Instead, I should learn to view life as something that is much much more than the worldly things we see. Something and someone is far greater and bigger than us.
When life gets tough, when you're overwhelmed with doubt, or when you wonder if living for Christ is worth the effort, remember that you are not home yet. At death you won't leave home--you'll go home.
