ANTI-STRESS

Finances? deadlines? relationships? obligations?  They are only a few of the many sources of stress.

I, myself, experience stress.  And they are a lot to count.

Good thing one of my members gave me this:

My question is, how can these tablets ease out my stress?

Does it give me an instant cash?

Does it help me in the household chores?

Does it help me improve on my relationships?

Does it enable me to beat my deadlines?

The answer is, it does not.  I guess, I just have to believe that it does and so it will.

But there are things that instantly make me cope up with stress even without vitamins supplement.  These are:

Me: Will I able to finish my dissertation within two months?
Adviser: Nothing is impossible with God.

Member:  Pastor, pwede mo akong grammarian sa iyong dissertation
Me: Thanks a lot!

Member:  Pastor, pasensiya ka na kung kinukulit kita sa dissertation mo, gusto ko kasing makatulong.  Baka meron kang pwedeng i-delegate sa akin para makatulong ako.
Me:  Salamat talaga! Ang kaso e, ako lang ang pwedeng gumawa ng kailangan kong gawin.

Friend: Pastor ang mahal magdissertation.  Magsabi ka lang at tutulungan ka namin.
Me:  Salamat at hindi ko na kailangan kayong tanungin pa para sa tulong.

Me:  Can you cook for our meals in the succeeding days?  I have no more time to do the cooking.
Member: Ipinagluto ko na po kayo ng bopis, pinaputok na tilapia, ginataang sigarilyas, porksteak etc.

Reader( She came over to my church): Pastor, patuloy pa rin akong nagbabasa ng inyong blog.  Keep on writing.  Sana magblog din ang ibang pastor.
Me: Thank you very much!
