A GOOD ADVISE
When my sister call me to
“vent out” her complains and frustrations concerning a situation that tested
her patience. I would sometimes be left in awe and come up with nothing to say.
Like computer processor,
sometimes, it is hard for me to process all the data
she had feed in all at
once and come up with “a good advice”, comment or reply and she would later
say. “Ano ka ba, Ate! Ang dami ko na sinabi sa iyo, wala ka man lang sagot
dyan!”
My sister, being at the
30’s, is still my young sister and I would not give her any advises that would
leave her astray. (Because I love her so
much) So during the times that she is like this, I would try my best to
switch my mind and mouth from getting along with her anger to what the Lord
would want me to be. Following the verse I read today,
Proverbs 10:11
New International
Version (NIV)
11 The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life,
but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence
but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence

I should always try to
give a good advice to my sister to let us both walk in the path of
righteousness as the Lord God wants us to be. My mouth should speak of what is
good for her and what could tame her down rather than add up to her anger.
Prayer:
Our Heavenly Father, Bless all the people around us
that teaches us good things and guide us in our ways. Bless our parents that
admonished us to get us into the right path. Bless our Pastors, Priests, brothers
and sisters and friends who give us good advice and words that would help give
us good life and harmony, I commend their mouth, Oh Lord as they speak of your
righteousness. Let their voice be heard so that they can help many. Teach me
Lord to be righteous, that my mouth speaks of what is good and can contribute
life rather than destruction. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
Lesson Learned:
Let thee mouth be a blessing to others.
Beautiful advice..our words can build or ruin
TumugonBurahinAmen!!!
Burahinhahaha...just tell your sister na pino-proseso mo pa ang advise; we should always give a well-thought advise, di ba?
TumugonBurahinSabi nga ni Vice Ganda.."kaka-lurkey" hahaha..luma na kasi itong cpu ko kaya sometimes slow processing :)
BurahinI hope your sister has got her problems solved. I agree that we should always be cautious in giving advise. In the same way, we should also be careful from whom we ask advice from. The best is seeking godly advice at all times.
TumugonBurahinGod has ways of solving problems...sometimes she only needs an ear to listen to her and give her soothing words afterwards, but yes, Godly advise is the best!
BurahinI love your wisdom. Wish i have an ate like you.
TumugonBurahinFollowing you. Follow back?:)
Where can I file for application...as your Ate? hahaha but you can call me Ate if you wish to. I just followed you! God Bless!
TumugonBurahinAy, there's so much wisdom in this post for me. Kasi I'm the type of person who speaks her mind without mulling over it first. What a good reminder from God. :-)
TumugonBurahinAmen!!! God bless Marie!
BurahinWords that come from us should build up others. It really is wise to think first before we say anything, especially when we're overcome by emotions.
TumugonBurahinYes, Sis. Cym! I agree. Praise God!
BurahinAnd I am guilty sometimes. But when we acquaint ourselves to the Word of God, it only becomes natural for us to only speak good of others. Thank you for a blessed reminder Glenda.=)
TumugonBurahinWelcome po, Sis. Kristine! All praises unto the Lord! God bless, Kristine!
Burahinvery inspiring! Godly advice is absolutely the best. :-)
TumugonBurahinWow, for me, I often blurt out what I think first, then rethink and process. You give great advice if you take the time to digest what you're hearing.
TumugonBurahinAw, it's hard...but we would try to do our best for the people we care and with a great amount of help from the Lord because as human, we are bound to make mistakes...sometimes it is hard to think that what we made cannot be undone...that's what hurts the most sometimes. We just have to keep on learning! God guide us! God bless!
BurahinA lot of times it is easier to just agree to be angry too or to 'sundot' the complaint or the whining. But you're right, we must speak only that which will lead to the right path. :)
TumugonBurahinThis is good advice! :) It's difficult really to contain anger and to be magnanimous during this time.
TumugonBurahinAll praises back to the Lord! Thanks Sis Meikah!
Burahinwell no matter what are facing at this very moment or in any time, we all need a good advise to boost us and keep the faith alive.
TumugonBurahinAmen, Bro. Marco!
Burahinyes, we should always be careful not to say anything that would just fuel negative feelings... this is easier said than done though
TumugonBurahinI agree with you, Sis. I have seen a lot of people who are like this and I think they have a high emotional intelligence. I also want to be careful and with the help of God I believe we can learn.
Burahinso true!!! =) i love this verse
TumugonBurahinMinsan sa sobrang shocked natin sa mga sitwasyon, nahihirapan tayo iabsorb and iprocess ang lahat..then ayun, nag-hang ang cpu..hehehe
TumugonBurahinhehehe...nalilito ang processor! :)
BurahinSometimes they just need and ear who'd listen.
TumugonBurahinThat's right, try hard to influence others to maintain peace rather than ignite the flame.
TumugonBurahinThank you po always giving us a good and worthy advice, I always appreciate your concerns and I admire the way you look at things. I hope one day I can be like that. Un hindi agad nagpapaapekto sa naririnig but try to listen first so I can think for the best advice I can give.
