Simple Life Reminders

Only one life 

So soon it will pass 

Only what's done for Christ will last 

Only one chance to do His will 

So give to Jesus all you days 

It's the only life that pays 

When you recall 

You have but one life

---; Only One Life ;---

Today, I stumble down a blog about the Unbearable Lighness of Being by Milan. I never heard of it. Realizing that this book had something that can bestow us a lesson in life made me realize that sure we have only one life. And everything that happens has a reason. The reason maybe simple but God, it can change someone's life. It is a simple life reminder of who we are and what life is and and the purpose of it. I can not wait till I can get a hold of this book.

" Hey book wait for me I will soon find you." 

Here is one of the line that capture this little person inside me

•  " A person who longs to leave the place where he lives is an unhappy person." 

Yes, I do believe in it as  I myself have experience such a unhappiness. I wanted to leave the place I have had live because I am not happy with it. I no longer feel that I belong there.Here is another part of the post (book) that catches my attention: 

• "When the heart speaks, the mind finds it indecent to object. In the realm of kitsch, the dictatorship of the heart reigns supreme."

Maybe this is why people (even married) have to leave someone for someone. Like a short story or for them is a joke but it is true in today's world, a friend sent me through text message last Sunday.

Girl: Hi hon, saan ka ngayon?        

    Girl: Hi hon, where are you?

Boy: Andito sa park. Ikaw anong ginagawa mo?          

  Boy: I'm here at the park. How about you, what are you doing?

Girl : Nanonood ng love story.          

  Girl: I'm here watching a love story.

Boy: Wow, sweet naman. Pero teka, saan ka ba kasi?            

  Boy: Wow, That's sweet. But wait, where are you really?

Girl: Andito sa Park, pinapanood kang yakap yakap yung babae mo.       

     Girl: Here at the park, watching you embracing your woman.

(This is sent in Filipino but I will include the translation)

Sounds familiar ha!!! The short story maybe true to some and may not apply to others. But the fact that life is just unfair most people are drawn to do what there heart dictates. Thus leading to unhappiness of a another person however even after the things that people do to make themselves happy they still find themselves craving for something to make them happy.And so this line speaks of why people tend to be unhappy.

• Human time does not turn in a circle; it runs ahead in a straight line. That is why man cannot be happy: happiness is the longing for repetition.

 We may feel odd of the things that is happening now but remembering what God has said on his word we should always remember that we only have one life

 " Ecclesiastes  3: 1

There is a time for everything,  

             and a season for every activity under the heavens

... that is why this line says:

• Human life occurs only once, and the reason we cannot determine which of our decisions are good and which bad is that in a given situation we can make only one decision; we are not granted a second, third, or fourth life in which to compare various decisions.

 Here is a song dedicated to all of  you out there. Happy or not, young or old remember this song in the days to some:This song inspire me even when I was a little kid in Sunday school:

VERSE 1 

It matters so little 

How much you may own 

The places you've been 

Or people that you know 

For it all comes to nothing 

When placed at His feet 

It's nothing to Jesus 

Just memories to me 

VERSE 2 

You can take all the treasures 

From far away lands 

And take all the riches 

you can hold in your hands 

And take all the pleasures 

Your riches can buy 

But will it help 

When it's your time to die 

CHORUS 

Only one life 

So soon it will pass 

Only what's done for Christ will last 

Only one chance to do His will 

So give to Jesus all you days 

It's the only life that pays 

When you recall 

You have but one life 

VERSE 3 

The days pass so swiftly 

The months come and go 

The years melt away 

Like new falling s 

Spring turns to summer 

Then summer to fall 

Autumn brings winter 

Then death come to all 

CHORUS 

Only one life 

So soon it will pass 

Only what's done for Christ will last 

Only one chance to do His will 

So give to Jesus all you days 

It's the only life that pays 

When you recall 

You have but one life
