The world-famous fashion designer and author “Crisda Rodriguez” wrote this article before she died after suffering from cancer.
- I have the world’s most expensive brand car in my garage but now I travel in a wheelchair.
- My house is full of all kinds of designer clothes, shoes and valuables. But my body is wrapped in a small sheet provided by the hospital.
- There is enough money in the bank. But now I am not getting any benefit from this money.
- My house is like a palace but I am lying in a double size bed in the hospital.
- I can go from one five-star hotel to another five-star hotel. But now I spend time in the hospital moving from lab to lab.
- I gave autographs to hundreds of people. The doctor’s note today is my autograph.
- I had seven beauticians to decorate my hair – I don’t have a hair on my head today.
- On a private jet, I can fly wherever I want. But now I need the help of two people to get to the hospital porch.
- Although there is a lot of food, but my diet is two tablets a day and a few drops of salt water at night.
This house, this car, this jet, this furniture, so many bank accounts, so much reputation and fame, none of them work for me. None of this can give me any relief. Real life is about comforting a lot of people and putting a smile on their face.

REFLECTION:
What does matter in your life?
The last message of this lady reminds us about that question.
Let’s think about what are important things to us now?
What are we spending our effort to build?
Does that last long? is that for our maturity, growth? Is that meaningful?
Does that build up our healthy relationship with others?
Does that improve our personal relationship with GOD?
All the best for our journey of life!
With love,

I believe that what God gives us abundance in this world but anytimes He will take it back. There is nothing long lasting that we can hold it on, is that right?

Buddist teaching says: “Everything is temporary.”
But I would like to add more: “Everything on earth is temporary.” Our faith is in the Eternal Love of God for us.
St. Paul says: “Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written:
“For your sake we face death all day long;
we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”
No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
-Romans 8:35-39
