November 02 is All Souls’ Day, it’s the commemoration of all the faithful departed, the day of our loved ones who were already dead. Various beliefs and practices such as preparing and cooking something for the day. Going to church to pray for the dead souls. Visiting and cleaning our loved one’s tombs, candle lighting, offering flowers, and remembering moments with them are some of the activities that are being done this day.

Give them flowers while they are still alive!

This saying means giving them love while they can still feel it. Give them food while they can still taste it. Care for them while they can still appreciate it. Give them some gifts while they can still open them, laughing with them! Joking with them and enjoying each moment with them while they are still breathing, and while you are still breathing! Let’s fulfill each page of our lives with love and kindness!

Spend more time with your loved ones while you can, and while they are still around because time is running and time wasted never comes back anymore. Yes, we are just human and occasionally, when stress and bad emotion strikes, we forget to be human! We forget the right attitude, we forget to calm down during negative situations, and we forget to forgive. Negative attitudes and negativities are coming out, but let us not be defeated by these challenges! Always choose to love and not to hate.

Revelation 21:4 - He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.
