The Adornments and Intricacies of Life

Which of the following is your opinion?

A. Life has adornments to console its intricacies or;

B. Life has intricacies to balance its adornments?

Well, whatever your answer is, one thing is for sure – Life is God’s best gift to us.

This write up has a poem inside of it and some quotations are borrowed from my thoughtful boyfriend.

Hope you’ll be inspired!

On the beginning, there was nothing and the Creator decided to create the heavens, the waters, the earth, winged creatures, animals that walk, animals that creep and swim and all sorts of life.

But He felt sad and thought that there must be something missing. Finally, He created someone from His form, molded it and breathed Life in it. He called His creation MAN and after days, drawn from this man a female counterpart and called her WOMAN. On six days, God created the Universe and all in it – including the energy that flows in it – LIFE.

Life is a goal. Reach it. Life is a challenge, meet it. Life is a dream. Realize it. Life is a game. Play it. Life is an opportunity. Grab it.

On a dark cavern, a FEMALE is waiting for her MALE – who among these millions will be with me? Suddenly, one of them met HER; now they are UNITED. They’d go through several processes. They’ll cling to a wall. They will wait. They will grow. Together they will be – another LIFE.

This is a biological metaphor on how life begins. If we’ll take a look, it makes life exceptional. It is amazing to know that from two strange cells sprouted a new life.

After two-hundred and seventy days, the sight of a laboring mother with her husband can be seen. It is one of the best pictures of life – to see a couple sharing the joy of having the fruit of their love. Having another of the greatest gift in the world – a child. By and by, these parents will face the challenge of molding another good person for the world.

“…success and miscarriage are empty sounds.” – Samuel Johnson

However, pregnancy is not a sure thing. A coin has always two sides. As much as it can bring happiness to the couple is the fear of losing the child.

Life is a mystery. Unfold it. Life is a puzzle. Unfold it. Life is a puzzle. Solve it. Life is a song. Sing it. Life is a struggle. Accept it. Life is a sacrifice. Offer it.

Man is overpowered by his want to discover; unfortunately, he has neglected the real essence of life. God has put him into a pedestal where he can live but he chose to INVENT his own goals. Man wanted to discover more; to uncover the mysteries behind the stars; to know what Earth is made of and to see what is beyond Life. But by doing these, some of them they turned away from God instead of praising Him for the majesty of His creations. Truly, man has made himself wiser but it can never be denied that man has ignored more beautiful things that his Creator made for him.

Man has chosen complicated explanations rather than to believe in miracles.

“Superiority is a defect. Once you have experienced sitting on a high pedestal, you will find it hard to look down.”

In life, many storms take place, but still, the Sun always comes out. Sometimes we always get lost but we are always found. We break and then we are fixed. We fail but strive to succeed. We fall and we are saved. It is because…

Life is a sorrow. Overcome it. Life is a joy. Spread it. Life is a romance. Enjoy it. Life is a gamble.  Take it. Life is a tragedy. Face it.

We face deaths of beloved ones, but we smile at the birth of young ones. We cry by sadness but laugh by a friend’s joke. Sometimes our ships sink, but lifeboats wait. One time you will get pinched by enemies but later tickled by your family. We will experience cloudy skies but by next we will have starry skies.

“What is gain without pain? What is sunshine with no rain? What’s a moon without a sun?”

Life is a combination of negativities and positivities. Sometimes we are drowned, but always saved. Life is a wheel. We will go down and then we will go up. We take bitter vitamins in order to become well again.

Life is bliss. Embrace it. Life is a promise. Fulfill it. Life is a battle. Fight it. Life is a journey. Complete it.

We have privileges down here but every privilege is acquainted with a responsibility – a responsibility not to overlook the beautitudes in life. Of course, there will be bad days but remember that bad days are needed to appreciate good days. An enemy stands in front of you but a friend is always at your back.

“You can never overcome a person whose army is his family and friends…”

There might be storms, but do not forget that the sun doesn’t go away from its place in heavens. If comes the time that we can no more see the paths that we tread, remember that the sky is always ready to be looked upon. Walls may be built around us, but try to look up and you will see…

Life is God’s gift.

Cherish it.
