Reflect

It's a Sabbath Day.
For the Catholics, it is also Virgin Mary's birthday.

I brought Gem to our church. She seemed okay with the ambiance and all. I oriented her a bit about our church and about what she observed about the people and everything around. It was a wonderful feeling for me, to have the opportunity to bring a friend at church and acquaint her with our views, beliefs and standards. I felt more excited to invite others din. hi reader, just tell me if you want to, I'll gladly give you my time and introduce our church and religion to you. :D

uhh.. there is something that I have somehow reflected upon tonight. It is about Marriage, or those related to that.

Recently, I just heard about people, especially celebrities, getting involved with immorality, those videos, getting pregnant though unmarried, and many more. It felt so negative for me. Even if for most people, for the world, it seemed to be normal and okay for them. I watched some interviews about those people, and the reaction and expressions on their faces were like: "It's okay. It's normal to have a baby even before marriage. We will be married, and we will support and love each other anyway. It's okay for the world or as the world sees it, it is just an ordinary circumstance. So, it is also fine with us."

NO IT IS NOT. for me at least. :)) I know, the people who has the same high standards as mine will agree with what I have to say about this...

Recently, a friend and church mate of mine, just 14 days older than me, was just married to a worthy young man. I am so happy for her. When I told this news to my other friends, not members of the church, their reactions were doubtful. They instantly thought that something happened (negative, I think), that's why they have to be married soon, considering also the fact that she is just as old as I am. Pero no, don't you see? It's not about the age, it was not about getting married early or as soon as possible. It is because of love. They love each other so much that they have preserved their purity for each other. To tell you a fact, getting married like the friend that I have mentioned is highly recommended by our church leaders, kahit hindi pa tapos sa mag-school. I think one reason also is so that they would not be tempted to commit sin (before marriage) anymore. Because of this friend, I have seen the beauty of marriage, and being clean and worthy before it. Parang gusto ko na rin tuloy ikasal. HAHAHAH.

well, the point is, everything that relates to marriage, love and having the power to create is really sacred. It may be a norm for the world, pero it is not for the Lord. This is a sacred matter. Knowing news such as those recent ones are not something to be inspired of (sorry, pero it's the truth). We all understand things differently, and maybe some may comprehend that that showbiz news would let them think and consider na okay lang pala yung kasi pati celebrities ginagawa yun. Pero it is not. It must not work that way. If only people consider these things as important as how the Lord sees it, they would approach in a different way siguro :))

oh well, these are just some thoughts today.
Spend the rest of the night with the Lord. >:D<
