When We Forgive, Do We also Forget?

          When someone did something wrong and we didn't like it they will immediately say sorry. Sometimes people just forget the sins that someone did to them. We also easily forgive someone depending on the kind of sin he did to you.
          I also experienced this kind of situation. A friend of mine did something to me that I really didn't like and after a few days we are now ok. I think this only works when someone knows how to control his own pride. Some people think that feeling sorry for what they did shows weakness. For me, it is not like that because feeling sorry for what you've done is just like admitting your sin. It is also not easy to forget things right away. I have another experience like this. It happened a year ago. I did something that made her really mad and cry. I am really sorry for what I have done to her. I already ask for her forgiveness but we often talk. Our friendship got broken and I hope she forgive me. 
          Forgetting worst things that happened  to our lives are just like a part of moving on. I think everyone will feel good if they know to their selves that they don't have any problem with someone or someone have a problem to them. There is nothing wrong in forgiving. When we forgive we also forget.

Good in Academics or Being an Athlete?

          Many people say that you cannot find someone or a thing that naturally contains both good characteristics. There is always something that lacks, maybe in the appearance, attitude and many more. Sometimes there are chances that both or all the characteristics are obtained by someone. Like in students, some are very excelled in academics but not an athlete and some are athletes but not that good in their academics.
          To be honest, I am not that athletic. I only know few sports to play like badminton and table tennis. I am not that good in those sports. I am also an average student. I don't obtain very high grades like my classmates does. The advantage of an athletic student is that they can continue being a player. This can help them to be more popular and this is also be an addition for there academic performances. They can also represent the school in different sport activities. Being an academically inclined student also have a lot of advantages. They can gain high grades through there performances in there classrooms. They can also represent the school in different contests in the country or in other countries. Being only an academically inclined student is not good. Every student should stay fit and active. Also, being only good in sports can make a student forget and to not pay attention on there studies. I think a student should practice doing it both but keep it in balance. I think I fall in the more inclined in academics than being an athlete.
          Every student is different. It will be better if they can be good in both things. But if they know where they are really good, I think they should concentrate in that thing.

A Prayer to our Savior

Oh, our great mighty Lord above all we praise you
You are the most powerful among everyone.
Please keep us all under your love that is so true,
Throughout the day that we will spend until it's done.

We all thank you because we are safe and alive,
Please continue to guide us all to a safe place.
Thank you for all the help and blessings that arrived,
Making everyone connect and bind like a lace.

Please continue to help those who are in trouble,
Don't let them suffer and undergo more hardships.
Always give enough food to eat in there tables,
Please be with them especially who are in grief.

We are very sorry for what we have done wrong.
We promise that we will not do it any more.
Please do not make the bad weather last for so long,
And make the huge sun brightens up the sky once more.

We are very thankful to you that we are safe,
Help the people that are affected by the storm.
I hope all of the affected people are saved.
I hope that our country recovers very soon.

Amen.
