No legacy is better than integrity

THOUGHTS TO GUIDE US BY - Elvie Punzalan-Estavillo - The Philippine Star

The Lenten season came like a whiff of refreshing air amid the myriad of deplorable, never-imagined-could-ever-happen in our beloved country and globally.

Unarguably, astonishing greed for wealth and power is the root of all these. May this Lenten season help us realize that down to the road-end of life ... to DUST we all shall return! That the excessive accumulated wealth and power shall, at the end of our earthly journey, will be entirely left behind. Born naked into this world ... depart we will with only our clothes on.

What shall live on long after we are gone is how we lived and affected others’ lives. By that yardstick shall we be judged and remembered – loved or hated, respected or despised. No legacy is richer and better than INTEGRITY.

It is an opportune time to truthfully take stock of what goes on around us. To analyze what brought us all to this miserable situation. To look at things we’ve packed inside our hearts and do what we can to rise up. Pray that our loving God, who sacrificed his life to redeem us from our sin ... blesses, helps, leads our fragmented land and the broken world we live in ... with lasting peace and prosperity for all.

Peace and abundance to us all!
