Shushi's Random Pages

St. Joseph is described in the Bible as a righteous man. He actually never spoke but the narrative shows how he listened and obeyed the will of GOD. He remained as a shadow yet imagine how he took care of Mama Mary and the Child JESUS. That is, even from the start of the ridicule of men towards Mary's unexpected conceiving of a child. I believe that in his entire existence, he deeply loved and protected JESUS and Mary.

And so, some women today ask the prayer of St. Joseph that they may also find their ideal man. I remember one woman sharing her story. She asked St. Joseph to help her find the perfect man for her. Eventually, her prayers were answered. St. Joseph lead her to JESUS, the perfect man ever! Now, she is a nun. 😁

The Advent Wreath

Thu, 1st Week of Advent

JESUS teaches us how to settle conflicts or how to correct someone who is at fault.

"When you are praying, do not heap up empty phrases..." (Mt 6:7)

An EMPTY phrase is like a beautifully wrapped gift box WITHOUT anything inside.

Let us 🙏 with TRUTH and HONESTY. 😇

Let us DO ordinary things with extraordinary LOVE.

"RESILIENCE"
being able to stand up STRONG despite rejection, struggles, troubles, fear, chaos...

Thrive and carry a missionary spirit wherever you are SENT right now. Let the people around you feel the PEACE of Christ in you.

#8 |Where is Justice|
The innocent gets sentenced
The troublemaker gets away
The poor gets poorer
The rich gets richer

Why should there be masters and slaves?
Masters to command
Slaves to serve
Seemingly, the fortunates and the unfortunates

Death now comes
Who can escape?
For it denies masters nor slaves
Same returns to dust

The Great Judge knows very well
The innocent and the troublemaker
For He looks from above
And His eyes are everywhere

#7 |Sit Back and Relax|
Nothing's wrong
Whenever we question
But sometimes
Essence is at its wrong notion

Nothing's wrong
Whenever we ask why
But sometimes
Understanding is not worth a try

Nothing's wrong
Whenever we want to go deep
But sometimes
We need not to do it

Nothing's wrong
Whenever we want to stop
Pause and be awestruck
With GOD's spectacular masterpiece

#6 |GOD is GOD|
There are good times
Laughters around
Love and security abound
No one wonders why

There are bad times
Tears drown the eyes
Anguish and fear alarming
Everyone asks a thousand whys

Why it has to be me?
Why is life unfair?
Why is there suffering?
Why GOD seems to be asleep?

GOD has all the reasons
Why we go through seasons
Yet He is never been afar
We can only find Him with our faith that works

#5 |Just On Time|
Time just ticks unendingly
None can hold it
None can stop it
None can replay it

As time travels its own pace
One goes by
One comes by
One lives by

Time predicts when
To cry and to laugh
To talk and be silent
To fight and to back off

Time follows a plan
Everything abides
Everything has its own reasons
Everything takes place in the hands
of the clock Master

-sgo (PottersClay)

Stay Awake! Keep watch with Christ. He's coming...

Some of God's greatest gift is an unanswered prayer.

Be a lotus. Remain radiant among the shadows of darkness.

You can make an impression with what you say, but you can make an impact with what you do.

#4 |Before Working and Dying|

After everything else you've done
Time passes by
Nothing's reaped
For no one has escaped the grave

Pile up your trophies
Seat in your treasures
Still you forget them
When you finally leave

Man has created his way to fly
Out there on the oceans, he sails
He can go anywhere he wanted
Yet, as he ponders, there is sadness

Man cannot hold satisfaction
Man cannot dwell on what hands can touch
Man can only be satisfied to what's unseen
Man can only dwell from Above to find true joy!

-sgo (PottersClay)

Happiness begins at the point of acceptance; the point when we stop questioning why life can't be perfect.

# |Satisfying Pursuits|

You were taught to study hard
So you'll find a good job
You were taught to work hard
So you'll accomplish something

You found your great passion
So you mastered it well
You found yourself excellent
So you strive more for perfection

There you made it
You're now at the peak
There, you have it
You're achievements

Now, you look back
Have you missed something?
Now, you look up above saying...
"I think I missed You!"

-sgo (PottersClay)

We can be happy anytime once we understand that the only place we'll ever find happiness is right inside us.

#2 |Emptiness to Fullness|

Like a vast hot sand in a desert
Thirst, dryness, bare
Like the ice sheets on both ends of the Earth
Thirst, coldness, bare

Deadly once consumed
A hole of despair disaligns the spirit
Deadly once believed
Life's meaninglessness disconnects the soul

Lone brick cannot lay a foundation
Lone foot cannot walk
Lone heart cannot love
Lone spirit cannot breathe

Only He can fill your cup of emptiness
He who sees beyond
He who comes from above
He who is the source of LIFE

#1 |Set Your Hearts from Above|

Under the sun
Things around aren't that fun
Everybody else is on the rush to run
But nothing's really is ever done

Rivers flow into the sea basin
Same water that is somewhat unseen
Circling and circling it ever have been
What's new?
Even if you are ever keen

Look closely
Listen carefully
This world's not your destiny
Store your crowns above the valley

Above where all that's within
Above where the suns dwell in
Above where the rivers stop circlin'
Above where one should seek and think

-sgo (PottersClay)
