Songs on generosity

Here are some lines from my favorite church songs on generosity. I hope you still know these songs :) -- "Panginoon Turuan mo akong maging bukas palad Turuan mo akong maglingkod sa Iyo Ang magbigay ng ayon sa nararapat Nang walang hinihintay mula sa Iyo (kasi diba hindi ka dapat nagiging generous dahil lang may inaantay kang kapalit)" Here's another one... "Walang sinuman ang nabubuhay para sa sarili lamang (parang 'no man is an island', teaches us that we are all our brother's keepers and we are accountable for each other) Walang sinuman ang namamatay para sa sarili lamang Tayong lahat ay may pananagutan sa isa't isa Tayong lahat ay tinipon ng Diyos na kapiling Nya" And my most favorite of all... "Kunin at tanggapin Ang alay na ito Mga biyayang nagmulaSa pagpapala Mo (see, we should be generous kasi we are just giving back what God has been blessing us with. Di natin dapat ipagdamot yun kasi if not for God's generosity, wala din tayong material things) Tanda ng bawat puso Pagka't inibig mo Ngayo'y nananalig, nagmamahal sa Iyo"

Adversity

"There's something a bit different when your child is born with a certain level of adversity. There's a deep sense of not only love but also of respect... (He) is a constant source of inspiration and admiration" -Colin Farrell on his son James, 10, who has Angelman syndrome, a rare neurogenetic disorder that impairs speech and motor skills

Galatians 6:9 NIV -- Do not get tired of doing good

"Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up."
