Daily Blessing No.2 : Cookie,Go Go Sandwich, Rose Ice Cream

^^
Today, I received this blessings:

KFC Go-Go Sandwich
This is one of the favorites food among all the fast foods available.
I thank God for this. I really really love this food.

My friend and I went to the mall - to window shop.


Choco Crunches
This is Philippine made biscuit coated with chocolate. I love this since highschool. This is also my favorite and I prefer this over many other imported products.
Also, this cookie has a sentimental meaning. My dad (who passed away 8 years ago) used to bring this home for me and we eat this together selfishly. Not being generous to my mom and my brothers. My dad and I had a sweet tooth, not my mom and my 2 older brothers. Our love for sweets are equal and so we love this!
Now, I remember my dad when I see this in grovry shelves and it is one of the reason why I but it. Because I miss my dad and the memory that comes with these cookies. ^^
I am thankful I have this today.. Now, I am sharing it with my mom!
(hahahaha)



Rose Ice CreamThis is so unique! This was manufactured by University of San Carlos (My dear alma mater) - Business Administration Majors. Back in college, they do this kind of stuff. They make their own products and sell it. They did that inside the campus but now they're doing it off campus which I think is more challenging and realistic.
The ice name and the flavor caught my attention! I wanted to eat ice cream on that day or fruitsalad! I was so happy to see this @ Php 15!!!!! Unbelievably cheap!







Sometimes food brings us closer to our loved ones. To love and having a good memory of love is a blessing graced by God.
Praise the Lord for giving me WOnderful dad and mom!
We must not forget to THANK THE LORD for all the food theat we receive! HE is worthy to praised for His Goodness!

Daily Blessing No 3: Yellow Cab and Banana

It's a yellow day!
Since it's a yello day, I just remember and this I have to acknowledge who inspired me to do this section in my blog -- that's KYM of the Yello Days Blog. She blogs her daily life and its "yellowness". ^^ That gave me an idea, I thought I should be blogging on a daily basis on simple things. And since my blog is dedicated to Our Father, I come up with this Daily Blessing. The Label speaks for itself.

Today, during lunch, I had a free banana. Yehey!!!!! Thank you Lord! Free things are from God. I dont need to pay it. Life itself is free.. I don't need to pay for my life. A humble banana may seem unworthy and be taken for granted but it has a lot of potassium, good for the health. I just feel God is helping me to be healthy. Praise the Lord!

(This picture is from google. I did not carry my cam today.)

Second, this isn't so healthy but everybody at the office were craving for this since like last week. At last ! The good Lord granted our prayers. ^^ Thank you Lord!
Two Korean Managers decided to buy us pizza.. wow! It's free again!
We were so happy!!!!


(This picture is take from Flicker. I did not mind the stream owner. But I would like to stress that I am not owning this.)

I feel guilty for blogging only one or two things as my daily blessings. God gives so much and provides well.According Bo Sanchez, God is not a God of Scarcity but of Abundance." Yes!!! Yes!! Yes!!! Perhaps, if I blog all, I wont be able to finish. So, I just choose one or two based on what I want to blog and based on what means a lot to me on a certain day.

Thank you so much Lord!

May you always be thankful of all the free things you receive no matter how small!
Celebarte your free life!

Daily Blessing No.2 : A Purple Invitation

This morning a teacher called my name while I was preparing my day and doing this and that on my desk. I didn't really want to stand up and go to the counter and accommodate her so I told her to come inside the office instead. But she refused... I was surprised! And lazy as I was, I didn't feel like standing up because for one reason if I think a teacher has a concern I usually ask her to come to me and talk.
So, giving up that thought and while wondering why, I stood up and go to the counter. I asked her what is her concern or problem is... She hesitated for a moment, then gave me this:




(<em>I love the invitation. It's simple yet unique. No fuss! I asked her where she got this idea and she proudly answered "It's my 'husbands' idea". WOW! Men are created artistic as well! Check out the simple details.)





It's her wedding invitation. While handing me her invitation she said she didn't want to get in the office reasoning that she is too shy to let everyone see her give me her invitation. That I totally understand . ^^

I am always thankful of every invitation I receive. For me it's a blessing! Being invited to a celebration is an honor. It's a feast.. free food, free drinks and free entertainment!!!!! But more than that, the person values your presence and your relatioship.

For weddings, I am more honored and it makes my heart leap!!!! Why? For one thing it is a union of two hearts - a promise of two people! ^^ This excites me so much. ^^
Furthermore, it is a Covenant. What God has united can't be separated. And it's God that binds the two people, it's not just a paper but in heaven, the couple is bonded.
It is the law of God that needs to be obeyed first more than the law of the land.


It is sad though, there are many failed marriages, divorce is rising and broken families are increasing. Perhaps this a good time to stay closer to God more and have reverence to Him.

May the teacher who gave me this invitation be blessed with faith to sustain and an untiring love. Happy Wedding!



Praise the Lord!
God bless you...

Healing and Keeping Prayer

Heavenly Father, I thank you for loving me
I thank you for sending your Son,our Lord Jesus Christ, to set me free. I trust in your power and grace that sustain and restore me.

Loving Father, touch me now with your healing hands. For I believe that your will is for me to be well in mind, body and soul and spirit. Cover me with you precious blood of your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ from the top of my head to the soles of my feet. Cast our anything that should not be in me. Root out any unhealthy and abnormal cells and multiply my healthy cells. Open any blocked arteries or vein and rebuild and replenish any damaged areas. Remove all inflamation and cleanse any infection by the power of Jesus' precious blood. Let the fire of your healing love pass through my entire body to heal and to make new any diseases areas so that my body will function the way you created it to function. Touch also my mind and my emotion, even the deepest recesses of my heart. Saturate my entire being with your presence, love, joy, and peace and draw me ever closer to you every moment of my life.

And Father, fill me with your Holy Spirit and empower me to do your works so that my life wil bring glory and honor to your holy name.

I ask this in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.

I got this prayer once I attended a Healing Mass earlier this year. It was sponsored by the ministry written above. That Holy Mass was a blessing and it's memorable in my heart. All Holy Mass is actually a blessing and a gift!
Hope you'll enjoy praying this.

Prayer

Prayer is an inspiration of the heart, it is a simple glance directed towards heaven, it is a cry of gratitude and love in the midst of trial as well as joy;
finally, it is something great, supernatural, which expands my soul and unites me to Jesus

Straight From The Heart (A Prayer Companion)

This is my second book review.
This book, firstly, was given to me by my church community brothers. We joined the same group at the same time, so this is so meaningful to me. By the way, the community we are atteding was Good Shepherd Community. It's small prayer group composed of 12 members. Sadly, the group was dissolved to due the some conflicts of the schedules and some other reasons.It's sad but I say having known and be involved in that group is one of the best things that ever happened to me in this lifetime.
Praise the Lord for that!

To continue with the book,this is basically a book of compiles prayer. Fr. Mario Jose Ladra, a priest from Laguna compiled this prayers and made this into book. There's a short profile of the priest at the back of the book.


The front cover looks dirty. Sorry for this. I carry this book in my bag, going to the office or just when I want to.





Inside the book, the contents:
-Dawn, Morningn and Night Prayers
-Prayers to Jesus Christ
-Prayers to the Holy Spirit
-The Holy Mass
-Prayers Of Those who served at the Altar of the Lord
-Marian Prayers
-Prayers before the Blessed Sacrament
-Prayers to Saints
-Favorite Psalms
-Prayers for Families
-Prayers for Healing (My personal Favorite)
-Prayers for Personal Needs and Concerns
-Prayers for students
-Prayers for Priests, Religious, Seminarians, and Vocations
-Prayers for Different Professions, and Works
-More Inspiratiional Lines
-Prayers for the Dead
-Tagalog Prayers (Tagalog is the national language of the Philippines)

The bullets above are the actual contents of the book. That is in order.
The book also comes in hard cover. Since this is the present, I don't know how much the book cost. I saw this in St. Paul's Religious Center, if i remember correctly, this is 150 php or less.

This book is all-in-one prayer book. This is handy and covenient to carry.
Yes, I recommend this instead of bringing the small separated chaplets.
Just remember thought that prayer is not the recitation of the words, but a conversation to God. Must be honest and sincere....

Have a good time Praying!


P.S. If you wana a sample of a prayer of any of the bulleted contents, you may leave a comment.
