Living in the City

I am respectfully borrowing Tita Cory's prayer, which I think she wrote after finding out that she was sick of colon cancer. Almighty God, most merciful Father You alone know the time You alone know the hour You alone know the moment When I shall breathe my last. So, remind me each day, most loving Father To be the best that I can be. To be humble, to be kind, To be patient, to be true. To embrace what is good, To reject what is evil, To adore only You.

An icon who symbolized freedom. Someone you would not catch not wearing yellow, if she can help it. Someone who stood right with her husband, Senator Benigno Aquino, forgetting she herself was in pain; a mother who stood right with her children, wayward or not; and A President who stood right with her country, someone who never wanted to have that power, to begin with . Sad we may all be... it is time to be with the loving embrace of the Lord. Alas, no more pain. God bless Cory Aquino!!! So long.

Why do I need to ask blogthings the state of our relationship, heh? Your Relationship is Still Building Strength You're relationship is fairly strong, but you're still working on making things solid. Make sure you're both treating each other with kindness and respect, even when things aren't going well. Your relationship isn't in danger, but it could be if a crisis hits. You need more strength to get through the bad times. Remember what attracted you to each other, and try to bring some of that fire back. It's not too late! How Strong is Your Relationship?
