REAL FRIEND.................

How many friends do you have? A friend is there for you in good times and bad times. I want to share this inspirational words for a all my friends and visitors.

A simple friend, when visiting, acts like a guest.
A real friend opens your refrigerator and helps himself and doesn't feel even the least bit weird shutting your 'beer/Pepsi drawer' with her foot!

A simple friend has never seen you cry.
A real friend shoulder is soggy from your tears..

A simple friend doesn't know your parents' first names.
A real friend has their phone numbers in his address book.

A simple friend brings a bottle of wine to your party.
A real friend comes early to help you cook and stays late to help you clean.

A simple friend hates it when you call after they've gone to bed.
A real friend asks you why you took so long to call.

A simple friend seeks to talk with you about your problems.
A real friend seeks to help you with your problems.

A simple friend wonders about your romantic history.
A real friend could blackmail you with it!

A simple friend thinks the friendship is over when you have an argument.
A real friend calls you after you had a fight.

A simple friend expects you to always be there for them.
A real friend expects to always be there for you!

A simple friend reads this e-mail and deletes it.
A real friend passes it on and sends it back to you!

'Never frown, even when you are sad, because you never know who is falling in love with your smile. '

The task ahead of you, is never as great as the power behind you.

YOU ARE MY FRIEND AND I AM HONORED...

F - Few
R - Relationships
I - In
E - Earth
N - Never
D - Die

Happiness is like a butterfly. The more you chase it, the more it will elude you. But if you turn your attention to other things, it comes softly and sits on your shoulder...

God answers Prayers!

I just thought of sharing this story that send from a friend and i know you will like it. When i read this story i cried because I am touch of the story. We have lots of problem financially and i know something happened to help us. But anyway here is the story.


A young man had been to Wednesday Night Bible Study. The Pastor had shared about listening to God and obeying the Lord's voice. The young man couldn't help but wonder, "Does God still speak to people?" After service, he went out with some friends for coffee and pie and they discussed the message. Several different ones talked about how God had led them in different ways.

It was about ten o'clock when the young man started driving home. Sitting in his car, he just began to pray, "God...If you still speak to people, speak to me. I will listen. I will do my best to obey." As he drove down the main street of his town, he had the strangest thought to stop and buy a gallon of milk. He shook his head and said out loud, "God is that you?" He didn't get a reply and started on toward home. But again, the thought, buy a gallon of milk. The young man thought about Samuel and how he didn't recognize the voice of God, and how little Samuel ran to Eli. "Okay, God, in case that is you, I will buy the milk." It didn't seem like too hard a test of obedience. He could always use the milk. He stopped and purchased the gallon of milk and started off toward home. As he passed Seventh Street, he again felt the urge, "Turn Down that street." This is crazy he thought, and drove on past the intersection.

Again, he felt that he should turn down Seventh Street. At the next intersection, he turned back and headed down Seventh. Half jokingly, he said out loud, "Okay, God, I will." He drove several blocks, when suddenly, he felt like he should stop. He pulled over to the curb and looked around. He was in a semi- commercial area of town. It wasn't the best but it wasn't the worst of neighborhoods either.
The businesses were closed and most of the houses looked dark like the people were already in bed.

Again, he sensed something, "Go and give the milk to the people in the house across the street." The young man looked at the house. It was dark and it looked like the people were either gone or they were already asleep. He started to open the door and then sat back in the car seat. "Lord, this is insane. Those people are asleep and if I wake them up, they are going to be mad and I will look stupid." Again, he felt like he should go and give the milk. Finally, he opened the door, "Okay God, if this is you, I will go to the door and I will give them the milk. If you want me to look like a crazy person, okay. I want to be obedient. I guess that will count for something, but if they don't answer right away, I am out of here."

He walked across the street and rang the bell. He could hear some noise inside. A man's voice yelled
out, "Who is it? What do you want?" Then the door opened before the young man could get away. The man was standing there in his jeans and T-shirt. He looked like he just got out of bed. He had a strange look on his face and he didn't seem too happy to have some stranger standing on his doorstep. "What is it?" The young man thrust out the gallon of milk, "Here, I brought this to you." The man took the milk and rushed down a hallway. Then from down the hall came a woman carrying the milk toward the kitchen. The man was following her holding a baby. The baby was crying. The man had tears streaming down his face.

The man began speaking and half crying, "We were just praying. We had
some big bills this month and we ran out of money. We didn't have any milk for our baby. I was just praying and asking God to show me how to get some milk."His wife in the kitchen yelled out, "I ask him to send an Angel with some. Are you an Angel?" The young man reached into his wallet and pulled out all the money he had on him and put in the man's hand. He turned and walked back toward his car and the tears were streaming down his face. He knew that God still answers prayers.

Blueberry Harvest

Starting this week until July I am very busy helping my hubby working in our farm. Our blueberries needs to be picked. Yesterday we only have very little berries picked because we do not have enough pickers. We are hoping today that pickers will show up and the berries will be picked. There are still many berries coming and they are starting to look great. We thank God for this blessings and hoping that the price is not very low just like what happened last year. Don't you know that blueberries can help so many diseases? According to the research group of New Jersey the " identified compounds in blueberries called proanthocyanidins that promote urinary tract health and reduce the risk of infection by preventing bacteria from adhering to the cells that line the walls of the urinary tract." You can read the research by clicking here.

Thank you guys for coming here and look around maybe you can find something interesting. Have a nice day to all.

Greeting Cards In My Etsy Store

Since high school until my college days I used to love making cards to sell and give some to my friends and family. I remembered my Science teacher in high school that taught us how to make a greeting card by using a crayon and a candle. You just light up the candle and burn the crayon after that blow it into the card but you need to do that carefully to form something on that paper card. When I was in college I always making cards and give it to my friends and my boss. Anyway, I just remembered all that because I make some cards to sell online. I will try if it will sell in my Etsy store. They are pretty and unique cards and I know if you send that to someone he/she will like it. Simple but heartily given to someone special. Here are the pictures just click to enlarge...

Thank you cards & Forever Friends Cards

Food For Thought

So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded. You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised. Hebrews 10:35-36

For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope. May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you a spirit of unity among yourselves as you follow Christ Jesus. Romans 15:4-5

but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40:31

Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us. Romans 5:3-5

Learn How To drive

Driving is very dangerous thing specially if you do not know how to obey the rules in the highway. Yesterday hubby tried to teach me how to drive since I have already my learners permit. I got nervous of course I am not used to it. In our country we did not own a vehicle and we just have a public transportation bring us where we want to go. When I started to drive yesterday I got really scared. I drive around our farm but I am afraid when I am close to the ditch. The ditch was besides the road and in the other side was our blueberry bushes. I hit the bushes and not the ditch but hubby got upset why I hit the bushes that loaded with fruits. I felt sorry and tried my best not to run some bushes. I started to have a confident after few round in our property. Driving really is scary at first but when you are already doing it many times then you got confidence. How many of you do not have driver's license? Hubby told me that there are maybe 98-99% of Americans that have driver's license. Driving is a must in US and if you do not know how to drive then you are stock inside your house. I hope I will learn more this year and have a license. Have a wonderful day. Oh maybe starting next week I am busy because we are going to harvest our blueberry. See you around.

A Note To God - Charice Pempengco

This morning after fixing hubby's lunch box for the farm I am dropping my EC and found some interesting post. I am one of Charice Pempengco's fan so when I saw her performance and sing that song "A Note To God" I am meditating about what the lyrics of the song was. It touches my heart and my eyes begun to cry. It is true if only i can send a note to God this problem we have in our family will be resolved now. But I will not complain because God has a reasons why He let all this thing happened to us. Sometimes I wonder those people who do not have the anything even food to eat, house to live, and money to buy clothes if what they think right now. Are they complain? Are you complaining? I am complaining sometimes but I just simply say a prayer so that it will bring peace it my heart and mind. I know God listens and there is a purpose for everything and a reason to wait. I hope you will like this song and listen to your hearts say about it. Have a wonderful day to all.

Reflections

Today I am sharing some thoughts about our life's reflection. As I remembered the past of my life I realized many things change and form a good things in my life. How about you do you reflect your life now and remembered the past? How it goes? I hope you can share those things to us. Thank you for coming I hope you have a good day. Take care.

"Who am I today?" I ask..
And I wonder if I even know.
I know the past has shaped me now,
Even though the past was long ago.

The little moments form a blur,
The times both happy and sad,
All the people I once knew,
And the things I used to have.

They all helped me to become
Where, what and who I am now,
Because everything has influenced me,
I'm not sure exactly how.

But I'm thankful for the memories,
Even of the people I've never really met,
For the people I miss, the people I love,
And even the people I'd like to forget.

For these memories have helped me grow,
They've made me calm, yet strong,
And now there's a story to my life,
That they've been writing all along.

So, thank you for the memories.
Without them, I don't know who I'd be -
Because somewhere among these memories
Are the things that define me.

"So if you faithfully obey the commands I am giving you today—to love the LORD your God and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul- then I will send rain on your land in its season, both autumn and spring rains, so that you may gather in your grain, new wine and oil. I will provide grass in the fields for your cattle, and you will eat and be satisfied." Deuteronomy 11:13-15

"Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves. Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Share with God's people who are in need. Practice hospitality." Romans 12:10; 11-13

Entrecard Problems

Since this morning I am surprised about my EC I even ask some of my friends. Is there any problem about Entrecard? I am wondering why the drops in my account did not listed. In my toolbar it said I already dropped 150 sites but when I looked at my quick statistics I saw zero. I am confused what happened. Last night I am more confuse why my drops back to zero again. The time was 10pm and it should be back to zero after 12:00 midnight. I look at my inbox and I found 15 drops from other bloggers but mine is zero meaning I did not drop. I am confuse somebody can explain about this thing? Do you gave also the same problem just like mine? I am already tired of dropping because I have 7 blogs that have Entrecard. I plan to drop this one day but I will not tell when yet. I hope this will resolve and back to normal. It seems that the system is not working great this time. If ever I did not drop you I am sorry but I drop already almost 200 blogs. Have a wonderful day to all.....
