How A Child Learns If a child lives with criticism, he learns to condemn. If a child lives with hostility, she learns to fight. If a child lives with ridicule, he learns to be shy. If a child lives with shame, she learns to feel guilty. If a child lives with tolerance, he learns to be patient. If a child lives with encouragement, she learns confidence. If a child lives with praise, he learns to appreciate. If a child lives with fairness, she learns justice. If a child lives with security, he learns to have faith. If a child lives with approval, she learns to like herself. If a child lives with acceptance and friendship, he learns to find love in the world. (Dorothy Law Nolte) hmm...food for thought...
*sMILe* heard this at the church wedding on saturday :) loved the tune and the lyrics...something that jie goes crazy over equally : When Love is Found When love is found and hope comes home, Sing and be glad that two are one. When love explodes and fills the sky, Praise God and share our Maker's joy. When love has flowered in trust and care, Build both each day, that love may dare To reach beyond home's warmth and light, To serve and strive for truth and light. When love is tried as loved ones change, Hold still to hope though all seems strange, Till ease returns, and love grows wise Through listening ears and opened eyes. When love is torn and trust betrayed, Pray strength to love till torments fade, Till lovers keep no score of wrong, But hear through pain love's Easter song. Praise God for love, praise God for life, In age or youth, in husband, wife. Lift up your hearts, let love be fed Through death and life in broken bread. Love this song...speaks of untold endless love piloted by God :) A love that is truly patient, kind...keeps no record of any wrong..always hopes for, perseveres, loves in spite of anger and fear...*sMILe* true love. All sustaining and ever going love. Well! haha but! the tune of this song also corresponds to Sissel's Summer Snow..and! Another hymn to which the lyrics are as brilliant as the above: The Gift of Love Though i may speak with bravest fire, And have the gift to all inspire, And have not love, my words are vain, As sounding brass, and hopeless gain. Though i may give all i possess, And striving so my love profess, But not be given by love within, The profit soon turns strangely thin. Come, Spirit, come, our hearts control, Our spirits long to be made whole. Let inward love guide every deed; By this we worship, and are freed.
I think..I must be going a bit cuckoo. Or perhaps it's the easy way things affect me..and the way i can't forget things. Or the way...the way I simply am. It's bad, really. And however much i know these things are lame (even an excuse)..I do perceive myself to be suffering from the common three lettered female syndrome-pms. Symptoms? The highly irritable F gender who incessantly feels like pulling her hair out (if not those of the peeps around her *gRINz*)...and then upon realising she feels as such..lets out a wretched cry of exaperation, "What on earth is wrong with you?" Perhaps...just feeling...wretched? Heh. So she wallows and stomps around her carefully demarcated territory with a whole chockful of undefined frustrations from everywhere...feeling even more frustrated from being frustrated (trust me, it's one heck of a vicious cycle) and then finally losing(or trying) to lose herself in dvds or tv.. or just stepping on endless upon endless toes and jumping on the nerves of peeps all around her...mindlessness and thoughtlessness.. Desensitization? Worry? It's at times at these when all I want to do is to do all these: 1) Go to changi, get an air ticket, and fly to any place, any place at all.

And certainly beyond all forms of speech...after all..there's loads more i wanna do to run.. Or maybe... all i need is this. A hug. And drowning myself in Him..in the One who brought this season to be and is all the reason for everything to hope for and to rejoice in. And absolutely, just to stop being spoilt :)
Heh...this song touched me to no end... When you tell me that you love me-Westlife and Diana Ross I wanna call the stars Down from the sky I wanna live a day That never dies I wanna change the world Only for you All the impossible I wanna do I wanna hold you close Under the rain I wanna kiss your smile And feel the pain I know what's beautiful Looking at you In a world of lies You are the truth And baby Everytime you touch me I become a hero I'll make you safe No matter where you are And bring you Everything you ask for Nothing is above me I'm shining like a candle in the dark When you tell me that you love me I wanna make you see Just what I was Show you the loneliness And what it does You walked into my life To stop my tears Everything's easy nowI have you here And baby Everytime you touch me I become a hero I'll make you safe No matter where you are And bring you Everything you ask for Nothing is above me I'm shining like a candle in the dark When you tell me that you love me In a world without you I would always hunger All I need is your love to make me stronger Everytime you touch me I become a hero I'll make you safe No matter where you are And bring you Everything you ask for Nothing is above me I'm shining like a candle in the dark When you tell me that you love me When you tell me that you love me You love me When you tell me that you love me
