"If God doesn't build the house the builders only build shacks. If God doesn't guard the city, the night watchman might as well nap. It's useless to rise early and go to bed late, and work your worried fingers to the bone. Don't you know He enjoys giving rest to those He loves?"
- Psalm 127:1-2 (Message Remix Bible)

You're carrying way too much suitcases, anak. No wonder you're tired. I prepared for you a beautiful sunset kanina para aliwin ka but you were too tired to notice. I sent someone to talk to you, para makita nila kung anong meron tayo...but you were too busy to care.
I've always carried them with me, Ama. I've grown accustomed with my suitcases.
You don't need them, anak. They're only slowing you down. I'll carry them for you. I am able.
But...
You are carrying burdens you were never meant to bear. Set those down, anak. I want to use you, you know. But how can I when you're exhausted? I have a great race for you to run.
:) Ama, talaga. *hugs*
For the sake of those you love, travel light.For the sake of the God you serve, travel light.
For the sake of your own joy, travel light.
