I heard my daughter asking her grandma: “who taught us to lie down when sleeping? why isn’t the right position is running or standing?” I did not hear my mom answering her but it made me realize hmmmm kids questions really are never ending. hehehe

I think they are so cute when they ask so many innocent questions that even adults are dumbfounded and can’t find the answers right away. :)

Oh i wish am back to being child again. hehehe

When Sickness Strikes a Friend

“If a friend gets sick, remember that he or she still needs your friendship.
When you reach out him or her, not only will it be encouraging for the sick,
but also you will feel better.“

I hope we remember our friends who are sick today. Not just the easy cold sickness but those who are terminally ill. I can’t help to mention a friend who had a cyst on the breast which was not surgically taken cared of thinking that it will be gone with herbal meds, but now it has spread. Her operation schedule is tomorrow. We hope and pray that the result will be negative of cancer cells.

Do You Tithe?

All these years, I do. But at times off and on especially those times i was abroad. Although i give offerings when i get to church. But the faithful tithing, i just forget about it and thinking back about it, i felt guilty.

Last night, i picked up my earnings and the first thing i set aside was the amount for tithes. 10% of your income (whatever income you had). So the bigger your income gets, the bigger the 10% becomes. But if ever you do that and say it’s for the Lord – then put away the money and really really forget about it. Don’t try to think how big it is because you will have the tendence to get back at it and use it.

Well, there is the saying, the more you give the more you receive. That\s the same thing with the Lord. We can just imagine how much blessed we are so He deserves very much deserves our love through actions – in tithes and offerings.

I come across this article in a humor book and thought of sharing it with you all –

“I want to tithe,” a man told his pastor. “I want to give 10 percent of my income to my church. When my income was $50 week, I gave $5 to the church every Sunday. When I was successful in business and my weekly income rose to $500 a week, i gave $50 to my church every Sunday. But now my income has gone to $5,000 a week, and I just can’t bring myself to give $500 to the church every week.”

The pastor said, “Why don’t we pray over this?” The pastor began to
pray, “Dear God, please make this man’s weekly income $500 so that he can
tithe…”

I really wonder what did the man say after this prayer. heheeh

on waiting

are you good at waiting? can you wait for someone or anyone for an hour or two and still all smiiles and feeling good when the person arrives. or you can still smile but your inside is burning with anger and your blood pressure shooted up silently. hehehe

well, if i have to answer that, i can say it depends on the person i am waiting for. there are different people that come to our lives and we can meet different people anytime of the day. let me enumerate the following type of people who will let me wait and see my reaction. i know each one of has have different patience level so my patience level will also vary on the people who let me wait.

1. my sweetheart or bf – if he lets me wait and hour and i will “feel” it was unintentional, pwes! when he comes, he can’t find me on the spot anymore. am off to the mall or maybe off to home. LOL! but if he lets me wait in an airport – i would wait the whole day if i knew he made the flight and he contacted me that i should not leave the airport even if i have to wait 5 hrs or more.

2. my daughter/son – i would wait. i would smile. even an hour will do but the sermon will be endless. hahahahaha.

3. my mom – i would wait until she comes. without complaining out loud. i will do my complaining just in my thoughts.

4. my father – i would leave as soon as i get bored. hahahaha. he is already big and very much able to find his way. except maybe if i am gonna wait on him in a bus terminal or airport in a foreign place.

3. work related persons – incase am told to meet an official visitor at the terminal or airport and has not come in an hour or two, well, i don’t have to complain because am paid being there. hahaha. but if the place is not a nice place for waiting like being crowded and people smokes – haiii i would surely complain inside me.

4. friend – i would leave after an hour or two or it depends on the place. now that texting is available, i won’t wait that long it depends if he or she really asked me to wait for that long.

5. bus/plane/vehicle – long time before, i find myself complaining for delayed trip schedules. but as i get older, i tend to be patient. i would like to think that the time is now my own. it is God’s property. So i have to depend on him. Who knows a delay will prevent me from an accident. Who knows a delay will cause me to meet the future love of my life. Who knows a delay will enable me to help a person who really needs help. right?

and you? are you that patient or are you also impulsive at times, like me?

Realizing His Will

Last Saturday morning, I was watching the story of Esther in a movie. Esther’s story is one of my favorite Bible stories. She’s like Cinderalla in the Bible setting. Now i realized that reading the story in the Bible and even in the colored Bible stories made me conclude that watching it in the movie looks more real and yeah there’s abit contradiction to the word for word description in the Bible.

In the movie, it was shown how did King come up to the decision to find a new queen – just because Queen Vashti disobeyed his orders to see him. The queen was not busy that day but I guess she jst was not in the mood to see the King. She did not realized that her simple lazy mood would mean the the detaching of the title “queen”from her and also the fact that she has to be sent away from the kingdom. There was not a struggle in Vashti’s part because she simply knew that disobeying the king was really a taboo in the Kingdom. It does not mean that since she is the Queen she can disobey king’s orders anytime.

For a long time, I thought that finding VAshti’s replacement was done nicely, like announcements were placed in the right places and all girls in the kingdom have the freedom to join, but in the movie it was shown that the girls were dragged from their homes. Esther was hidden by Mordecai because he was scared that Eshther will also be taken away, but even then, Esther was found and the goodbye was teary that i also ended up in tears.

When Esther found a favor in the King’s eyes, i can really see that VAshti’s disobedience was of God’s will so that Esther can be Queen to save the life of the Jews in the whole Kingdom as Haman plotted to kill all the Jews because Mordecai is a pain in his ass.
It’s really true that there may be some things that we cannot understand at the present which in the end, we can fully realized it is of God’s plan.

Sudden Horrible Thought

As i was going through the comments left for my first entry at Camera Critters the more I felt missing our lost kitty. Am sure that it was not long after I took this photo that golding miming got lost.

Before he (the yellow one) got lost, weeks back, we also lost 1 of his siblings we really do not have an idea why they are gone and where have they gone. Then suddenly I just thought that a big bad kitty have drag these kitties out of our front lawn and then brought them to secluded places and killed them. I can imagine they are screaming (meaowing) for help. As i said i hate cats but because of these critters i was made to realize that indeed they are also lovable or pettable (what a word!) not just dogs. These kitties meaows so loud that you can’t help to give them your attention. When they were stillyounger, once the front door opens, they like to sneak inside. Now that they have become bigger, they usually spend time at our back door area and meaow so loud when they are hungry – thinking that everytime we go out we are carrying food. It seems I have a way of talking out with them. I talk with them like they are also persons and they look up to my eyes and sort of telling me they understood. hehehehe

Ohhh i miss them. My heart starts to palpate when i imagined they are screaming for help because some bad men are beating him and killed him. huhuhu
