A cure to the summer heat

It was a boring and hot Wednesday afternoon...so I decided to watch a romantic movie entitled "Bright Star. " It was a true story set in London (1818), about the relationship between John Keats an English poet and the girl next door Fanny Brawne who has an eye for fashion- she even makes her own clothes. At first they were at odds, but gradually they came to like each other and even fell in love. Surprisingly, I enjoyed the movie because I found their love for each other to be pure and honest. But even true love cannot prevent the tragedy that was to befall on the young lovers...This movie made me realize that love does last amidst the loss of the person whom you care most ; because you'll always have the sweet memories. This movie is absolutely inspiring-- this reminds me that it is better to be in love and to love your love than to never have loved at all. I also reminisced my innocence before, and my first love... This movie definitely completed my day...

quotes: poetry soothes and emboldens the soul to accept mystery...forever panting and forever young

I would also like to recommend reading John Keats' letters to Fanny...here in : http://books.google.ca/books?id=h14LAAAAIAAJ&printsec=titlepage#PP%20A3,M1

A mother's love...God's love

My family and I attended the 8:00 mass this morning... I was really touched by the priest's homily, so I decided to share it to all of you..Our Lord showed his undying love to us, by giving up His only Son to save us. He didn't even ask us to love Him back... To let us further understand of His great love, the priest shared a story.

One day, a child was born without ears. As she grew up, she had no friends to play with- many children also tease her because of her condition. She became so saddened, that her mother decided to let the doctors operate on her, to give her ears. The operation was successful, and the girl had the ears that she wanted. Since then, she had gained friends and was happy. Years passed and she found love and decided to get married. She went home to her mother to thank her for all the things she had done for her. She embraced her and by chance, she touched the side of her mother's head and found that her ears were missing. She realized, that her mother transferred her ears to her daughter. She cried and asked her mother why she'd done it. Her mother answered, "Anything given up out of love, is a thing not lost."
As what the Father has done for us...
Love is not an investment- you must not expect to receive something in return.
