THE EASTER STORY

so heavenly Easter bunny Bearista

From the garden of Gethsemane
Where Jesus knelt to pray
To the betrayal done by Judas
On that grim and fatal day.

From the mighty hands of Pilate
Who preferred to let Him be
To the noble priests and leaders
Who refused to set Him free.

From the crown of thorns upon His head
And lash marks from a strap
To the weight of such a heavy cross
Strapped there upon His back.

From the thief who hung beside Him
Crying, "Lord, remember me"
To the gentle words of Jesus
"Today, you'll be with me."

Bearista in Easter Bunny costume

From the darkness of the noon time
As He died upon the cross
To the earth that shook and trembled
In response to such a loss.

From the cheering cries of soldiers
As they took His body down
To the caring hands of Joseph
A follower new in town.

From the tomb where He was laid to rest
In linen cloth of white
To the guards who had to stand close by
Throughout both day and night.

From the stone that blocked the entrance
As it gently rolled away
To the miracle that happened
On that Third and final day.

 Easter Bearista

From the baffled look of soldiers
As they peered into the room
To the startled face of Mary
When she found an empty tomb.

From the frightened look of Mary
As she swiftly left that place
To the light that flowed from Jesus
When she saw Him face to face.

From the doubt of His disciples
When she spoke of resurrection
To the fear upon their faces
As He walked in their direction.

From the written word of scripture
That was told in prophecy
To the eleven who had gathered
On a hill in Galilee.

the immaculate Wit bear

From the words that had been spoken
Before He went away
To His ascension into heaven
Where He lives this very day.

From the Bible on the mantel
Tis the words you need to heed
To find wisdom in its pages
And a light to sow a seed.

From the death and resurrection
Of the One we hold so dear
To the coming of His Spirit
Now that Easter time is here.

From the colored eggs and candy
And an orchid trimmed in blue
To the truth found there in scripture
Christ Jesus died for you.

He is risen...He is with you...

HE IS RISEN

I'd do anything to save your soul
To bring you to Jesus is my goal
Give your life to Jesus and give Him control
So that He can cleanse you and make you whole

It's so important to me that you're saved
It's so easy to do the road is already paved
Salvation is free Jesus died for all sin
If you come to Jesus you will surely win

Simply ask Jesus to come into your life
Tell Him you're a sinner and to save you from Hell's strife
Ask Him to make you the person He wants you to be
And from sin and bondage you want to be free

He saved us, He saved you...

Ask Him to guide you down the right path
And to save you from God's wrath
You don't need to be on bended knee
Making Jesus your friend is the key

If your heart is sincere Jesus will set you free
Not only will you be saved but happier you'll be
You're in my heart in a very special place
To me you're so precious you could never be replaced

This Easter greeting
Will be deleted someday
But my desire for your salvation
Will not go away

Happy Easter everyone!!!

LOVE

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away."
1 Corinthians 13:4-8

Love always blossoms

HUGS

 adorable and huggable baby Lokey  

A hug can reach down
Into our soul
It can fill our heart
Making us feel whole
It shows us that
Someone cares
The warmth they hold
Is beyond compare
It says it all
Without a word
The love it speaks
Is well heard
So I send to you
A warm embrace
I hope that this will
Take my place

Lokey having some great time with
a famous cat, Sylvester

YOU’RE ONE OF A KIND

 one of a kind bear...Lokey

When God made you
He broke the mold
You mean more to me
Than all the world's gold

Your quick witted humor
Always makes me laugh
And you do nice things
On my behalf

I know for sure
You're one of a kind
Another like you
Would be hard to find

"And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.""
1 Corinthians 13:13

...and the greatest is love

Stay inlove everyone!!!

FAITH

"Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe,
all things are possible to him that believeth."
Mark 9:23

Believe that life is simply breathtaking.
Palawan Philippines

In trying times of our lives, the most steady hands we could ever embrace are the caring hands of our Good Shepherd …. He shields His flock from harm and comforts those are in pain and suffering.

Believe, trust and have faith in Him. With Him nothing is impossible.

 

My sisters- Edis, Zaza and Amor, bears of faith

The Lord is My Shepherd

Psalm 23:

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:

he leadeth me beside the still waters.

He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in

the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley

of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil:

for thou art with me;

thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

Everything will be provided for us if we have faith.
Isabela, Philippines

Thou preparest a table before me in the
presence of mine enemies;
thou anointest my head with oil;
my cup runneth over.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me

all the days of my life:

and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

He made everything perfect for His flock.
Palawan Philippines

Ang Panginoon Ang Aking Pastol
Fr. Fruto Ramirez SJ (Psalm 23 Filipino Version)

Ang Panginoon ang aking pastol
Pinagiginhawa akong lubos

Handog niyang himlaya’y sariwang pastulan
Ang pahingaan ko’y payapang batisan,
Hatid sa kalul’wa ay kaginhawahan,
Sa tumpak na landas, Siya ang patnubay.
(refrain )

Madilim na lambak man ang tatahakin ko,
Wala aking sindak, Siya’y kasama ko.
Ang hawak niyang tungkod ang siyang gabay ko.
Tangan niyang pamalo, sigla’t tanggulan ko.
( refrain )

The Lord is our shepherd.
Isabela, Philippines

Each and every time I hear this incredibly moving song (Ang Panginoon ang aking Pastol), my heart melts and my spirit exults. This song rekindles my faith to the Lord. It revives my human body and soul….Have a blessed week everyone!

HOPE

….a new dawn…a new sunrise

                …a new day…a new HOPE...



hoping for a big catch

SUNRISE

Ely

Ardy looking at the sunrise

When life gets tough,

and the road seems so rough.

We taught that life is so unfair,

because all we get is nothing but despair.


One morning when we arise,
a new day is a great surprise.
To continue life with passion,
believe that our existence is a mission.


Like the dawn every morning,
like the sunrise that is soaring.
Trust in yourself and keep on hoping,
in our lives blessings are pouring

sunrise in Batangas, Philippines

Every sunrise ascends from the horizon brings new hope to all of us…
A day to believe and endure with what life brings us…
being hopeful for the best to come
is my only passport
with this very challenging world…
and as I hope I never cease to pray…


HOPE IS

Micron

Carmina, a bear of hope

Hope is a dream in the mind of what can come

Hope gives you a future whatever has passed whatever done

Hope is a light that breaks through the darkness that us surround

Hope helps us find our way through to safer loving ground

Hope fights for you when things get so very tough
Hope means keeping going when you have had enough
Hope though dims on times stays through your sorrow
Hope brings you through by dreaming of tomorrow
Hope tries to console you when your eyes glisten with tears
Hope gives you something to keep going whatever your fears

Hope is free beautiful may fade but never dies

Hope is always there even if its light seems dim on times


WHAT IS HOPE???
Vineet Bansal

What hope means

sunrise in Palawan, Philippines

Hope is bright shining light which keeps darkness at the bay
Hope is gentle cold breeze on a hot summer day

Hope is to remain positive when going gets tough
hope is seeking more when others think u had enough


What hope means

a hopeful fisherman

Hope is dreaming of tomorrow
Hope is simmering under sorrow

Hope is sparkles when tears in our eyes
Hope is a beautiful thing & beautiful things never dies


What hope means

sunrise in San Juan Batangas, Philippines

Hope is as light as a feather
Hope keeps all of us together

Hope is ubiquitous and free of cost
hope is the last thing ever lost.....




STARBUCKS FANATIC

Even teddy bears love Starbucks...


Dankey and his fave Iced Caramel Macchiato

 Starbucks Coffee

Lizzie Magalen

A smell like sweet candy

With a mix of coffee

A cup of icy cold

Slushy ice and liquid

Fluffy whip topping covered

With a river of caramel

The taste of sweet heaven

Captured and held  in a small cup

Rich, creamy and sweet all in one

With one last sip the perfection is gone



sipping coffee while relaxing

sitting on his favorite couch

Dankey and his Starbucks tumblers

Starbucks tumblers all over the globe



MISSING YOU

I miss you when something really good happens,
because you are the one I want to share it with.
I miss you when something is troubling me,
because you are the one who understands me so well.

I miss you when I laugh and cry
because i know that you are the one
that makes my laughter grow and my tears disappear.

I miss you all the time,
but I miss you most when i lay awake at night
and think of all the wonderful times we spent with each other
for those were some of the best times of my life .

MISSING YOU NOW

Michael Bolton

I talk to you but it’s not the same as touchin’ you
And every time you whisper my name, I wanna run to you
We’ll be together, it won’t be long, it won’t be long
But it feels like forever, and it’s hard to be strong

Chorus:
Baby ’cause I’m missing you now
And it’s drivin’ me crazy
How I’m needin’ you baby
I’m missing you now
Can’t wait till I’m alone with you
To show you how I’m missing you now

Wishin’ you were here by my side is all that I can do
Got my arms around my pillow at night, they should be
Holdin’ you
Thought I was stronger, how could I know, how could
I know
I can’t take this much longer, it’s so hard on my soul

Chorus:

Baby I just can’t wait, till I see your face
Chase away this loneliness inside
When you’re close to my heart, right here in my arms
Then and only then, will I be satisfied
I’m missing you now
We’ll be together, it won’t be long, it won’t be long
But it feels like forever, and it’s hard to be strong

BROTHERS AND SISTERS

"Like branches on a tree we grow in different directions yet our roots remain as one. Each of our lives will always be a special part of the other." -Author Unknown



brothers and sisters are best of friends

 FRIENDS FOR LIFE

Robin Lyn Davis

when you’re in a family
there should be some unity
between a sister and a brother
your always there for one another
you stand by each other’s side
secrets are not kept inside
as you talk into the night
to help keep problems out of sight
keeping promises that are made
you show your love will never fade
out of this relationship
you've both built up since you were kids
your older now and move away
but reminisce about the days
growing into best of friends
and good times that will never end
because of all this dedication
there wasn’t any situation
that you couldn’t overcome
you worked it out then had more fun

brothers and sisters unite as one

brothers and sisters share what they have

brothers and sisters play together

brothers and sisters support each other

brothers and sisters comfort each other

brothers and sisters understand one another

memories shared with brothers and sisters were treasured for life
