Good Morning America :)

This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it!

What a beautiful morning! Even though the sun is not peeking through the clouds, but I know in my heart it is still shining brightly.  Spring is here, all that seem not to have life, will spring up once the rain showers them and wake them up from their sleep.  Some flowers are already blooming and the birds are back to sing praises to the Lord. 

I woke up this morning with gratitude and smile on my face knowing that I am blessed and my father in heaven has me in His mind and watching over me, my family and the land that I love, America.  I just want to say “THANK YOU” Lord for all that you have done in my life, all the blessings that you have bestowed upon me that when I look back, I can only praise you and thank you because I saw your hands upon the situation and how you provided the way out and bless and carry me through.  As I sit here and ponder about your awesomeness, I can only imagine what you have for me in your mind for my future and the shower of blessings that will come upon me… oh my! Words can’t express it and yes Lord, your thoughts are higher than mine and your ways are higher than mine.  I am just here eagerly waiting to explore the possibilities and where you are taking me 😊

As for you, America! just know that God has you in His hands and His eyes are upon you.  He will not let any harm upon you as He has charged His angels to watch you and station them in the four corners of your land.  God is going to shower His rain of blessings upon you and may you be aware of the things that God is doing in the land, in you and around you.  The shower of rain that brings life to the trees will also bring blessings to you.  He will pour His love upon you. He is pouring His blessings to show His love for you.  God is going to protect your leaders with His shield and if God is for you, who can be against you???

As the Lord commanded, I bless Israel and pray for peace in Jerusalem and Middle East.

Have a blessed week 😊

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

It has been a while since I write for the blog.  Life has been busy.  I thought when the chidren are grown up, life will slow down… I guess not.  Time also has flown faster than I thought. Before we know it, we will welcome 2017 in 6 weeks.

On this day as we celebrate Thanksgiving, while waiting for the turkey to cook to perfection in the oven 🙂   I have time to think about what I am thankful for this year.  Life has its ups and downs, twist and turn, and all the struggles.  But, when I look back to the beginning of the year,  I cannot help but smile and thank God for all His blessings, His presence in our lives, and not to forget the miracles He has given our family.

One of the miracles is my son coming home and living with us for a while. He graduated from college and got a good job.  He asked if he could live in our home for a while.  He said he is homesick as he has been away for college and not eating good.  In other words, he misses home and mama’s cooking 🙂

I remember talking to one of my best friends, about my children wanting to be with their friends more than families.  She said to me not to worry as they will come back.  Well… I guess she is right! One of my son is moving back home.  And the other ones will come home anytime they can.  It makes me happy that my kids want to come home 🙂  I have made a home for them 🙂

As I get older, my priorities change and look at life differently 🙂 I always believe children are blessings from God and they are our inheritance as the Bible says.  We don’t bring our material things that we accumulate to heaven but we will bring our children to heaven with us and yes they will multiply and we are rich 🙂

Not only that my son is home, he also adopted a cat.  Yes, a black cat with yellow eyes 🙂  As a parent, I told him that pet is a commitment and he can’t just dish her out later when he changes his mind.  He said he is aware of the commitment.  He wanted to adopt a black cat because they are the first to be put down as not many people want to adopt black cats.

Well…. Bellatrix (formerly Samara), a domestic short haired cat came to our home last night 🙂 Bella was a pregnant stray cat when she came to the shelter.  She had five kittens and all were adopted except for her.  My son had a choice either Bella or a 4 month old black kitten that five people wanted to adopt.  He chose Bella and I think he made a good choice.  Bella is sweet,  affectionate, and likes to cuddle.  She is not shy and her presence will be known 🙂 She has “I am nice and sweet but don’t mess with me” kinda attitude 🙂  And guess what? I will babysit her until my son comes home from other state.  He basically adopted the cat before moving back home 🙂

As I watch my children interact with Bella.  I can’t stop smiling 🙂 I guess I have done a good job as a mother teaching my children to love and have compassion.  Most of all, we learn that love doesn’t care about being rich or poor.  Look at Bella, she doesn’t care if we are rich or poor.  The most important thing for her is that she finally has a place called home and a family who will love her.  In return, she will pour her love unconditionally to us.  That’s exactly what God does with us.  He pours His unconditional love to us so we can have a place called home with him in heaven and experience His love while we are on earth.  And all He wants from us is a relationship and love like Bella does to our family 🙂

I pray as you read the story, you also will look back to the beginning of the year and feel the same way I feel about Thanksgiving.  We have plenty to be thankful whether it’s big or small, happy or sad, joy or tears.. the most important thing is that… we made it through and for that alone, we should be thankful 🙂  HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

Good Morning America!

I woke up this morning with thankful heart that I am still here enjoying the beauty of God’s creation. Summer is around the corner and yes… there will be a lot of activities!  I enjoy all seasons with its own beauty.  I am in awe of the masterpiece that God created just for us to enjoy.  He is a good God and loving father.  He loves to bless us.  Take time and enjoy His creation.  Most of all, count your blessings because He is always there blessing you  🙂

As I sit in my porch enjoying my morning coffee, I was reminded that I need to pray for the election in November.   So, Lord hear my prayer.  I lift up America to you.  You know everything and nothing is hidden from you.  You know who will be the next president of the United States of America.  I pray you raise up true leaders who have hearts for America and the best interest of her people.  I pray for leaders who believes in betterment of her people.  A leader who will lead with character and integrity.  I also ask for your protection over the candidates who are campaigning for the election that you protect them.  I plead the blood of Jesus over America and no weapons against her shall prosper.  Every evil plot will be thwarted and cancelled in the name of Jesus.  I ask for your angels to be stationed in the four corners of America.  I pray for the spirit of truth and wisdom to be poured over America that the people will choose  the right president.  Open our eyes to see the truth and ears to hear the truth.  Most of all, Lord I pray that your goodness will be poured over America and once again America will turn her heart towards you.  I ask for forgiveness for the things we have done that are not pleasing to you.  I know you love America and she is still the apple of your eyes.  Bless America, God and everything in it in Jesus name, amen.

As The Lord commanded, I bless Israel and pray for peace in Jerusalem and Middle East.

Have a blessed day 🙂

Good Morning America!

Happy Memorial Day!

Today is Memorial Day holiday, a holiday in America to remember the fallen soldiers who have died defending the freedom in America.  These brave men and women defend the freedom not only in America but also in other lands where man’s freedom is threatened.  I watched several videos and listened to some patriotic music this morning.  As I watch the slides on the videos of our brave servicemen/women.  I realized when they sign up to join any armed forces, they are signing off their lives to defend our freedom that we take for granted because we have been living in the country where freedom rings loudly.

My mind starts to think and wander about the families of these brave soldiers who also sacrifice a lot for our freedom.  We tend to forget to say even “thank you” to the soldiers for their services or to the families for letting their loved ones go to the frontlines to defend us so we can sleep soundly at night knowing someone, somewhere is on guard watching over our safety.  We forget there are repercussions of wars.. not only casualty of wars but also the trauma of wars that a lot of our veterans suffer and endure to defend our freedom.  Freedom is not cheap, it costs a lot.  Freedom takes courage, bravery, and sacrifice.  Freedom demands it all so someone can live freely without fear and have peace that you are protected.

Today, I say “THANK YOU” America for the freedom you give me to live in the land of free where I can eat, say, do and have choices without being fearful.  Thank you, America for sharing your goodness with me and most of all, thank you for your unselfish welcome to all who desire freedom.  May I never forget your kindness and goodness towards mankind.  I pray God continue to protect America and put His legions of angels to every corner and city in America to watch and defend you.  May God always keep His eyes on you and bless you with His goodness in Jesus name.

To all servicemen and women,  “THANK YOU” for your service to the great ol’ USA and to us.  Without you and your sacrifice we are not where we are today.  I pray God will hold you in the cup of His hands and protect  you as you defend our beloved country.  May God hide you under His wings as you go and protect what you stand for.. freedom.  God bless you and your families!!!

As The Lord commanded, I bless Israel and pray for peace in Jerusalem and Middle East.

Have a blessed Memorial Day!

Good Morning America!

I woke up this morning with a song singing in my head “blessed the Lord oh my soul, worship His holy name.  It’s a song about God’s blessings and we have 10,000 reasons to sing about His blessings.  There are so many things that I can think of how God bless me, one of them is living in America 🙂

America, today I just want to bless you with God’s blessings.  May His goodness pass you by and His hands will always be upon you to protect you, hide you under His mighty wings.  Lord, I pray you will station angels in every corner of America and expose everything that is plotted, planned against her to destroy her.  May your peace reign in America and grace will abound in her.  I pray protection over the leaders, servicemen/women, people, land, and the candidates who are running to be the next leader of America.  God, you say in your Bible that you promote and demote.  I pray Lord that the next president and leaders of America will be men and women who love America like you do and have heart for her people.  May those who will be elected to lead the next term in America will be men and women of character and integrity who love this country with all their heart and they will do good for the people and betterment of America because God, you still love America and have not turned your face from her.  In fact, your eyes still upon America and your gaze towards her is compassion and mercy.  Thank you, God for everything in Jesus name, amen.

As the Lord commanded, I bless Israel and pray for peace in Jerusalem and Middle East.

Have a blessed day 🙂

Happy Monday!

Spring is here 🙂 weather is getting nicer and warmer!  I am watching the miracles of life once again unfolding before my eyes.  Trees that are leafless, suddenly springing with fresh green leaves.  Bulbs that are dormant for three seasons, pushing its shoots and displaying its splendid colors and fragrance.  The birds are singing praises to the Lord once the sun peaks in the East.  I love  4 seasons with its beauty and uniqueness.  Thank you, America for sharing your beauty with me!

As I sat in my porch spending quiet time with lover of my soul.  I watch the birds flying from one tree to another and chirping, singing a melody to the Lord.  I can’t help myself not to praise and worship Him.  Each day is a miracle from God 🙂 When I woke up this morning  and able to enjoy my cup of coffee, and most of all living in the land of free who has been so generous in giving and sharing her land, fruits, and freedom with me.  I can’t help it and thank God for America!

I pray God that you will bless America, her land, leaders, servicemen/women, people and that you will protect her from the evil one.  I pray for your blood to cover America and no weapons against her shall prosper.  I lift up the coming election, as your word says in Psalm 75:6-7 that promotion only comes from you and yes we have free will to choose because you are a loving God and you will not impose your agenda to us.  I pray Lord, you will raise up president and leaders who have a heart and love for America and for the betterment of America and her people.  I pray you will lead all of us to truth and nothing but the truth as the truth will set us free.  I pray you will hover over America like you did on Genesis 1:1 and pour your spirit of truth, open the ears of the people to hear the truth, unveil our eyes to see clearly.  I know you have plans for America and you love America, the apple of your eyes.  I pray you will pass by America with your goodness, mercy, love, and grace.  Please protect all candidates during this election and may your plan for America prevail because you are an awesome, merciful God, slow to anger and love to bless your children in Jesus name, amen.

Everyday is full of miracles from God 🙂 look around and you will count your blessings and smile 🙂 God loves you and most of all, He knows you by name 🙂

Have a blessed day!

As The Lord commanded, I bless Israel and pray for peace in Jerusalem and Middle East.

Merry Christmas :)

Christmas Is What You Have In Your Heart – Susy Pujiro

Christmas is the season of giving, the season of Joy, the season of peace on earth as a savior was born.  We celebrate the birth of Jesus.   In Matthew 2:11, the three wise men came to see Jesus and brought gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh.   The gifts have some meaning.

Gold represents something precious.  Gold can represent people you love.  Do you only think of your family members or relatives in Christmas season? Do you only visit them in Christmas season?  If people are precious, we should honor and love our family and relatives in every season of our lives.

Frankincense represents praise and perfume.  Your praise and worship are like a sweet smell to the Lord.  Perfume represents something smells good.  So Frankincense represent of how you see people and how people see you too.  Do you have good thoughts then it will be like sweet beautiful smell or it will be stinky like a skunk.  But whatever you think of a person, then it’s the perfume you projects about the person.  The same with other’s view of you.  What fragrance do you project…?

Myrrh represents oil or Holy Spirit.  It represents your heart if it’s oiled by the Holy Spirit or not.  What do you think in your heart? The Bible says in Luke 6:45 “A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth that which is good, and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth that which is evil. For out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks”.  What is in your heart? Do you think of good things or evil things?

Christmas also means a season of love…. We give because we love or we love so we give.  No matter how you want to say it, Love = Give.  You cannot give without love.  Even when you give with a grouchy heart,  you are driven by love.  That’s why you give.

I believe Christmas should be every day and every moment.  If we say we love Jesus and He dwells in our hearts, then our heart should beat with love.  Because the heart has to beat so we can live.  Let it be with every heartbeat, there will be a beat of love.

So let love also be our motivation to live our lives that can be an example to the world, not only by words but also by deed.

I wish you “Merry Christmas and Happy New Year”

May 2015 be a year of good health, love, peace, joy, happiness, dreams come true and prosperity.

May God’s hands will be upon you all days of your life.

May you count your blessings every day whether it’s small or big.

Because miracle happens every day 🙂

Happy Thanksgiving and Happy Hanukkah

No matter what our circumstances are, we are blessed beyond imaginations, knowing this morning we are awake and alive and able to do things by ourselves without any help and any machine are already a huge blessing from God.  Many times we take things for granted and we do not stop to even think of the little things or big things we do until that privilege is taken away from us then we wish we could have it back.

I just found out that we are very blessed to celebrate Thanksgiving and Hanukkah at the same day this year which according to research won’t happen again for another 77,000 years.  In a way, we are a chosen generation, as there are a few events this year that will not repeat for another 100 or 200 years.  Just know, that God plans where you supposed to be, what you supposed to do, who you supposed to be with.  Nothing is a mistake and you are here at the right time and things will start to fall into its place.  Believe and you will see it happen 🙂

As 2014 approaching, I would like to challenge you from today until the end of the year, that you will write a note each day for what you are thankful for the day and put it in the box.  Come, January 1st, you take out the notes and read each one of them.  You will be surprised to see how blessed you are 🙂

As we celebrate Thanksgiving today, I pray you can count all your blessings and be thankful and don’t forget to tell the people you love “I love you” 🙂
