Karma

This is one of the favourite words simply because I believe strongly in its meaning. According to a website:

Karma is simply the process of cause and effect. If you do A, B will happen. If you plant tomato seeds, and water and look after them, tomatoes will grow.

whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap St Paul, Galatians 6-7

Before we are born in this world we decide, while still in the realms of Spirit and along with our higher guides, the lessons we shall pursue here. Spirit helps us pursue these lessons by creating the conditions necessary for us to receive our chosen experience.

There is once a woman who is well too proud of herself, in fact more than she should be who told her sister and mother that they are dead to her. Her mother who gave her life and made sure she never went hungry or cold and her sister who made a lot of sacrfices to make sure she never hit rock bottom alone. If it took a lot of money it was never a problem. Until the day she told her sister she owes no gratitude to her as most of the help she gave was financial. Never mind that her sister would rather spend the money so that her electricity won't be cut off. Nevermind that her sister would rather spend the money to buy her new pair of shoes because she couldn't lump seeing her swollen sole rubbing on her very worn pair of shoes she wore every day to work. Never mind the many times that the same sister have her the last money in her purse to make sure they did not miss their monthly rent. Apparently to her it was just money. Money she couldn't afford to pay back!
Weeks after she told those hateful words to her mother and sister she found out she was carrying dead twins outside her womb. I wasn't sorry for her. Not at all. In fact I gloat over the news for weeks. How KARMA strikes and when it does it strikes hard indeed. I thought to myself - the twins represented the dead mother and the dead sister.

That is why I love this word - it makes me the person I am now and have always been. I believe if you are aware of this word you tend to be more careful of the bad things you say and do and less aware of the good things you do to others. Sabi nga nila, kung ano ang tinanim s'yang aanihin. God has blessed me with so much through the years and I believe it is because I have always shared them with the people around me. Dreams, love, time and money is what he blessed me most with and these are what I share. I don't get my prayers answered every time, but He gives me the things I need the most in front of the things I want. I'm no saint so I am sure one day I will get my Karma too. But I think I have planted many good seeds and will continue to do more so when my karma comes for the bad things I have done, I will have the people who loves me to see me through the bumpy road.
