Fools Rush In

Oh to be young and in love! Is there anything more wonderful or more terrifying? ("yes falling in love can be scary") I really loved that movie by the way! I personally believe you can have the experience of meeting someone and have a "feeling" about that person, that maybe this could be the one you have been searching for all your life, which some people call "love at first sight".



In my honest opinion, love is supposed to bloom like a flower or grow not just suddenly happen! We should never trust those first feelings of attraction and "lust" when meeting someone new. Don't rely so much on your chemistry and feelings of attraction, it might just be a crush. Get to know the person and let them get to know you! So many people have had their hearts broken because of what i refer to as "foolish love" especially young people!



Some people actually confuse obsession with love! I personally think you need to have some time to yourself. I don't believe someone who loves you should be texting you all the time, checking your phone, showing up to escort you everywhere and constantly calling you to see how you are doing!("that's more like a stalker"). You need some time to breathe and miss each other! So don't obsess about someone you love, you will end up ruining it or hurting yourself! Communication is a very important thing in a relationship but so is privacy and some amount of independence from the person you love. Its a delicate balance but hopefully you will manage to find it in your relationships! God bless you all!

Prisoner of love

Image
It is a beautiful thing to be in love but also a painful thing! So many misunderstandings can hurt you and sometimes it seems like you love someone more than they love you and it hurts grievously. However there is only one who understands and who chose to be a "prisoner of love" and that is Jesus Christ! We, Roman Catholics believe that Jesus is truly present in the Eucharist. At the moment of consecration by the priest, the host becomes the body, blood, soul and divinity of Jesus. Jesus loves us so much that he never ever wants to be far from us, so before he died he instituted the Eucharist at the last supper.  I cannot even describe how much this love humbles me and makes me realize my own poor efforts at "love". His love is so beautiful and pure and it is truly everything a person could ever want or hope for! How many insults have we given him? How many times have we not visited him in the blessed sacrament and yet he is always there waiting for us!...

Xenophobia in South Africa

Image
In the recent past weeks i have truly been shocked and saddened by the situation of xenophobia in south Africa. Some sections of south Africans have been burning and killing other Africans who are not citizens of south Africa saying they are taking jobs meant for citizens. I have even heard that some teachers in schools are asking foreign students why they came to study in south Africa. Given south Africa's turbulent racial past, this truly baffles me. The late Nelson Mandela must be rolling in his grave right now. He fought for the racial freedoms of black Africans. How can we turn on our own people? Granted, racism is abhorrent but i just cant understand violence against your own race! South Africans need to do something about this. Stand up and fight this evil before it destroys you as a country. For those foreign African nationals living in fear, our prayers are with you! I can imagine how difficult it is to live your home and start a life somewhere only to have it des...

A cheerful Giver!

Image
I am sometimes selfish, it is one of my weaknesses as a person. I pray that God gives me a selfless heart so that i can give, and not just give but give with a joyful heart. When we are being charitable, it is important not to grumble inwardly but to give freely with joy. I know it is hard because it goes against our selfish nature but truth be told, it feels good to help out someone in need. We hold on to so many things that we do not need anymore. Our basements and storage spaces are filled with things we may not need anymore but we just keep holding on to them. However one important thing to note when being charitable especially when giving away things is, you need to respect the dignity of the person receiving. Do not give them torn clothing, or things that are basically best thrown out in the trash! Lets also understand that people receiving are human beings and we all want to receive good things. A priest once told me that when we are giving, we should give something ...
