This is a very good reminder for all of us.
This would give you guides on how to control your emotions towards your better-half, friends, officemates and all the people around you, especially your "boss". The rules of practicing "ugaling langit, ugaling kaaya-aya" :
#1 Ang naunang magalit ang may karapatang magalit. Pag naunahan ka na ng galit niya, tumahimik ka na lang muna.
#2 Walang taong nag-aaway mag-isa. Pag hindi kayo sumagot o pumatol, titigil din daw ang taong nakikipag- away sa inyo.
#3 Ang taong galit, 'bingi.' If someone is angry, wala raw pinakikinggan, so, don't try to explain and fight back. Hindi ka niya iintindihin dahil wala siyang naririnig kundi ang sarili nya.
#4 Ang taong galit, 'abnoy.' Ayon sa pastor, Biblical daw ito? because the Lord said when He was crucified, "Father, patawarin mo sila dahil hindi nila alam ang kanilang ginagawa." Modern term for these kinds of people are abnoys, so you better not get angry para huwag kang matawag na abnoy.
You should also know and realize that the persons who make your day bad are jewel, because you need them for you to mature. Hangga't andyan daw sila at kinaiinisan mo, ibig sabihin, immature ka pa. God will not take away those people; it's for you to take away your bad feelings towards them. You'll know na mature ka na pag dumating 'yung time na hindi ka na naiinis sa mga taong ito because you have learned to accept them and to have patience with them.
#5 Finally, the best part of this is to tell yourself na, because of this
person, "I will grow mature," and that DAHIL SA CONTRIBUTION NIYA SA
MATURITY MO, KUKUNIN DIN SYA NI LORD.

THE ONION AND THE CHRISTMAS TREE
The family is sitting at the dinner table. The son asks his father, "Dad, how many kinds of
boobies are there?" The father, surprised, answers,"Well son, there's three kinds of breasts.. In
her twenties, a woman'sbreasts are like melons, round & firm. In her thirties & forties, they are
like pears, still nice, but hanging a bit. After fifty, they are likeonions." "Onions?" "Yes, you see
them, and they make you cry."This infuriated his wife and daughter so the daughter says,
"Mom, how many types of "willies" are there?" The mother, surprised, smiles and
answers,"Well dear, a man goes through three phases. In his twenties, his willieis like an oak
tree, mighty and hard. In his thirties & forties, it's like a birch tree, flexible but reliable. After his
fifties, it is like aChristmas tree." "A Christmas tree??""Yes dear, dead from the root up and the
balls are for decoration only."Send it out to all your girlfriends and guy friends who needs a
laugh to brighten up their day !!!
The Duck & the Devil
There was a little boy visiting his grandparents ontheir farm. He was given
a slingshot to play with outin the woods. He practiced in the woods; but he couldnever hit the
target. Getting a little discouraged, heheaded back for dinner. As he was walking back he
sawGrandma's pet duck. Just out of impulse, he let theslingshot fly, hit the duck square in the
head andkilled it. He was shocked and grieved!In a panic, he hid the dead duck in the wood
pile;only to see his sister watching! Sally had seen itall, but she said nothing.After lunch the next
day Grandma said, "Sally, let'swash the dishes" But Sally said, "Grandma , Johnny toldme he
wanted to help in the kitchen." Then shewhispered to him, "Remember the duck?" So Johnny
didthe dishes.Later that day, Grandpa asked if the children wantedto go fishing and Grandma
said, "I'm sorry but I needSally to help make supper." Sally just smiled andsaid, "Well that's all
right because Johnny told me hewanted to help" She whispered again, "Remember theduck?"
So Sally went fishing and Johnny stayed to helpAfter several days of Johnny doing both his
chores andSally's; he finally couldn't stand it any longer. He cameto Grandma and confessed that
he had killed the duck.Grandma knelt down, gave him a hug and said,"Sweetheart, I know. You
see, I was standing at thewindow and I saw the whole thing, but because I loveyou, I forgave
you. I was just wondering how long youwould let Sally make a slave of you."Thought for the day
and every day thereafter?Whatever is in your past, whatever you have done...and the devil
keeps throwing it up in your face(lying, cheating, debt, fear, bad habits, hatred,anger, bitterness,
etc.)...whatever it is ....You needto know that God was standing at the window and He sawthe
whole thing. He has seen your whole life. He wants you toknow that He loves you and that you
are forgiven.He's just wondering how long you will let the devilmake a slave of you. The great
thing about God isthat when you ask for forgiveness, He not onlyforgives you, but He forgets. It
is by God's grace andmercy that we are saved.Go ahead and make the difference in someone's
lifetoday. Share this with a friend and always remember:God is at the window!
