GOD’S GIVEN GIFTS

EDNA B. SIBAL

LIFE is God’s given gift… a gift full of hopes, surprises and challenges. The beauty of nature mesmerizes all of us; in the absence of nature we would not experience the greatest gift of existence and show appreciation of how wonderful life can be.

Everything we see around us has life to respect and protect, role to perform and task to accomplish, making each one beneficial to one another.

It is indeed inevitable to control someone… something we don’t know and make believed of what it should be. Why is life being questioned for what it brings? Is it really life itself to be blamed for what happened? He who does something wrong must be liable or not?

In a situation where gifts have been forsaken as a result of obsession and worldly desire of wealth and power, one may lead to one’s failure, worst, defeat. Do we have the right to abuse life’s given gifts?

Each of us is created to value and sustain what has been given and share these to everyone. The beauty of life brings hope and blessings so that one may enjoy it to the fullest.

Awareness helps one to survive in all walks of life, and that is our role as teachers. We are very instrumental in making the young minds, our students, be aware of everything around them, for them to cultivate, for them to take care, and for them to cherish.
