I thank God for all the trials I've been through because I became closer to Him. He is my strength when I am weak and I offer to Him my life. Lord, I know you are always there to carry me through. I won't give up on you and I will still serve you Lord. You still have a plan for me and my hubby and we will continue serving you. I love you Lord.

From time to time, I share here those forwarded e-mails that made me laugh. I received quite a few everyday but I just chose to read those interesting or funny ones. Here's one of them.
With all the new technology regarding fertility recently, a 65-year-old friend of mine was able to give birth. When she was discharged from the hospital and went home, I went to visit.
'May I see the new baby?' I asked
'Not yet,' she said 'I'll make coffee and we can visit for a while first.'
Thirty minutes had passed and I asked, 'May I see the new baby now?'
'No, not yet,' she said.
After another few minutes had elapsed, I asked again, 'May I see the baby now?'
'Nooooo, not yet,' replied my friend.
Growing very impatient, I asked, 'Well, when can I see the baby?'
'WHEN HE CRIES!' she told me.
'WHEN HE CRIES?' I demanded. 'Why do I have to wait until he cries?
'BECAUSE...... I FORGOT WHERE I PUT HIM..... OKAY?!!'
We went to Burnham Park this afternoon with hubby, my sis-in-law, her baby and my cousin Mylyn. We were surprised to see a bunch of people there. That park was crowded with people and it was so hard to walk in a crowded place like that. We planned to walk and roam around but we changed our minds when saw the people there. We just took some photos, and when we saw a vacant bench, we sat down and just gazed at the pond where many people were boating. Hubby sat down and he just watched people passing by. Others were just sitting there and having a picnic. When a kid came to sing a carol song and asked for money and an old woman came to ask money, we decided to leave. We proceeded to the store where Mylyn bought a pair of blue jeans and a sandal. After that we waited for a taxi and went home.
It's a rainy morning here in our place. According to the news, it's typhoon signal #2 and so my 2 nephews and their helper have no classes today. Yap, it's Monday, first day of the week but no classes. I bet the kids love it but the people who lives in the place where the center of the typhoon hits are so worried right now. Most haven't recovered yet from the devastating effect of the typhoon and flood last year and here comes another one. Lord, please stop the typhoon and spare the people from calamity. I praise your name Lord and thank you for answering my prayer.
