If I have not love

Love is really the greatest of all as this verse from 1Corinthians tells us. Actually, the whole verse 13 in 1Corinthians speaks about love and ends saying that among faith, hope and love, love is the greatest.

The photo is a very small flower from a bamboo-like plant in my garden. Sorry, I don't know the name.

the word of God

I find this verse from Isaiah very comforting and reassuring. If you are told that "...the word of God will stand forever", won't you feel the same too?

The bright yellow orchids and the green background somehow fit this verse nicely. Don't you agree?

Felt with the heart

This quote is a reiteration of the other more familiar quote from "The Little Prince;" "It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye." I am going to make a photoquote of this at another time.

I just created this card directly by using Photoshop tools.

See with joyful eyes

This quote from Jonathan Lockwood Huie reminds us that our perception of things depends a lot on how we look at them. So something can be be beautiful to us but can be ugly to another. I have several personal experiences that proves this is true.

For example, I remember a movie that I watched with a friend after I successfully finished defending my Master's thesis. At another time, we would have found the movie corny and boring, but at the time we watched it, we were just so happy and relieved that we laughed heartily and sometimes hysterically throughout the whole show.

I'm sorry I don't know the name of this flower. It looks like a kind of wild daisy. I just found it on the roadside. When I took the shot, I forgot to change my settings after coming from an indoor shoot. So naturally, the shot came out overexposed. However, when I looked at it in the computer, I thought it looked like a washed out painting, so instead of deleting it, I used it as background for this quote.

Priceless lesson

I find this quote about lessons so true. We really can learn something from everyone we encounter, be they the vendor on the street, your seatmate on the bus or your professor in the classroom. We simply have to learn to pay attention because if we don't, we might miss the lesson.

I found these slippers half buried on the sand of Boracay and I could not resist taking a shot. The owners must have gone for a swim and made sure that their slippers will not be easily washed off by the waves.

Be joyful in hope

This verse from Romans 12:12 is a very good reminder for us to never lose hope and patience and of course to never stop praying. Sometimes, we tend to give up hope at the moment when our prayers are about to be answered. We should never lose hope, therefore.

The photo is a flower called "angel's trumpet" or Brugmansia. 

Stick to it

I really admire Helen Keller. Despite her loss of her sense of sight, she has remained upbeat and inspiring throughout her life.

Yes, we sometimes don't stick long enough to what we want or what we do such that we fail to succeed. We should really hold on and stick to it long enough especially if our heart tells us to go on.

I created this poster card by using Photoshop. I am beginning to discover the many tools of PS.
