My Daily Nourishment

Hello folks! The first week of December is finally here. Its seems that I am quite busy with some things that needs to be done. I need to finish packing my baggage for a trip to Spain. Tonight I will be going to a party and need to prepare some food. Tomorrow will also be a busy be. Me and friends will be watching a movie.

The past weeks, we have been thinking of a business plan. There are things that we need to consider about that. The plan is to open a restaurant or a food kiosk. If this plan will materialize we surely need some kitchen equipments and furniture. There are used restaurant equipment for sale that I saw online. It is not expensive and are still presentable. For a start, I believed it is a good idea. Besides buying it will save us some money. We hope that the plan will materialize. If not here in Europe, maybe in my home country.

Happy weekend everyone!

Daniel is perplexed and disturbed by his vision of a fourth kingdom that is terrible to behold, devours the whole earth and makes war with the saints of God. This could point to a future persecution of the church as often prophesied in the Scriptures — that before Jesus returns, there will be a great persecution of Christians and many will be martyred for their faith. Of course, in many lands, Christians already suffer greatly for their faith and have to be strong in the face of much opposition. Let us seek to be faithful to the Lord at this time so that when persecution comes we may stand strong and not deny our Lord.

Daniel 7:15-27

15 I, Daniel, found my spirit anguished within its covering of flesh, and I was terrified by the visions of my mind. 16 I approached one of those present and asked him what all this meant in truth; in answer, he made known to me the meaning of the things: 17 “These four great beasts stand for four kingdoms which shall arise on the earth. 18 But the holy ones of the Most High shall receive the kingship, to possess it forever and ever.” 19 But I wished to make certain about the fourth beast, so very terrible and different from the others, devouring and crushing with its iron teeth and bronze claws, and trampling with its feet what was left; 20 about the ten horns on its head, and the other one that sprang up, before which three horns fell; about the horn with the eyes and the mouth that spoke arrogantly, which appeared greater than its fellows. 21 For, as I watched, that horn made war against the holy ones and was victorious 22 until the Ancient One arrived; judgment was pronounced in favor of the holy ones of the Most High, and the time came when the holy ones possessed the kingdom. 23 He answered me thus: “The fourth beast shall be a fourth kingdom on earth, different from all the others; It shall devour the whole earth, beat it down, and crush it. 24 The ten horns shall be ten kings rising out of that kingdom; another shall rise up after them, different from those before him, who shall lay low three kings. 25 He shall speak against the Most High and oppress the holy ones of the Most High, thinking to change the feast days and the law. They shall be handed over to him for a year, two years, and a half-year. 26 But when the court is convened, and his power is taken away by final and absolute destruction, 27 then the kingship and dominion and majesty of all the kingdoms under the heavens shall be given to the holy people of the Most High, whose kingdom shall be everlasting: all dominions shall serve and obey him.”

Patience is a gift and I always admire people who have a lot of patience. It depends on the situation, I can have a lot of patience also. I also admit that sometimes, I can’t also hold my patience. Sometimes when I am using my old desktop, I amd losing my patience because it is processing very slow. Good to know that last year, I ordered one of the discount desktops I found online. I am quite happy and satisfied with it. It is processing faster and I can do a lot of stuffs online especially when blogging.

I just hope that I can have more patience in me so that I can continue to understand people and happenings around me. Peace to everyone!

The Prophet Isaiah is aware of the people’s infidelities and unfaithfulness to God, yet he hopes in the goodness and mercy of God to deliver and save them. We see from this text that even repentance and conversion are God’s gifts to us. We are helpless and totally lost without God’s help. We should never lose hope in God for He is our Father who tenderly watches over us, His children, lest we stray too far.

Isaiah 63:16-17, 19; 64:2-7

16 You, LORD, are our father, our redeemer you are named forever. 17 Why do you let us wander, O LORD, from your ways, and harden our hearts so that we fear you not? Return for the sake of your servants, the tribes of your heritage. 19 Oh, that you would rend the heavens and come down,
with the mountains quaking before you, 64: 2 while you wrought awesome deeds we could not hope for, 3 such as they had not heard of from of old.No ear has ever heard, no eye ever seen, any God but you doing such deeds for those who wait for him. 4 Would that you might meet us doing right, that we were mindful of you in our ways! Behold, you are angry, and we are sinful; 5 all of us have become like unclean men, all our good deeds are like polluted rags; we have all withered like leaves, and our guilt carries us away like the wind. 6 There is none who calls upon your name, who rouses himself to cling to you; for you have hidden your face from us and have delivered us up to our guilt. 7 Yet, O LORD, you are our father; we are the clay and you the potter we are all the work of your hands.

I believed everyone wants to always look beautiful especially on how we dress and look. I believed almost women want it too. There is nothing wrong with it..I mean staying well-groomed and presentable all the time. In fact, there are beauty products that will make you more beautiful. For example, others are using eyelash growth products to make their lashes look longer and attractive. I am using it too especially during special occasions. I went this morning to a department store to buy one of the beauty products they are selling there. It is a kind of face powder that I am love to use and I am quuite satisfied with it.

You always have to remember, the true beauty is what’s inside you and if you are beautiful inside and out, then you are almost perfect. Take care folks!

Advent is a time for us to reassess our lives of discipleship and to make necessary changes. The priests wear purple vestments to symbolize that this is a season of conversion. Am I alert and attentive to the action and voice of the Holy Spirit in my life? Am I growing in love of God and my neighbor? Am I becoming more sensitive or less sensitive to sin in my life? These questions can help us take stock and see how we are advancing in our spiritual walk. Let us use this season of Advent to renew our spiritual vigor and love for God.

Mark 13:33-37

33 Jesus said to his disciples: “Be watchful! Be alert! You do not know when the time will come. 34 It is like a man traveling abroad. He leaves home and places his servants in charge, each with his work, and orders the gatekeeper to be on the watch. 35 Watch, therefore; you do not know when the lord of the house is coming, whether in the evening, or at midnight, or at cockcrow, or in the morning. 36 May he not come suddenly and find you sleeping. 37 What I say to you, I say to all: ‘Watch!’ ”

my reflections
t h i n k : Let us use this season of Advent to take stock and see how we are advancing in our spiritual walk.

It is always nice to remember the beautiful and interesting trips we had in life. It is a journey of knowing new country, its people and its culture. Our trip to Turkey two months ago was a wonderful one. One of the hotels we stayed in was located in Sarimsakli. I can’t remember at this moment the exact name of that hotel restaurant. The food were great. I belived it is because of its good Restaurant System. I felt in love with the beauty of Turkey. It is a land that can also offer a lot to every tourist and visitor.

Sarimsakli is actually a town in the Ayvalik District of Balikesir Province in Western Turkey. Due to its considerable production of the Alliaceae plant, its is called as the “land of garlic” which Sarimsakli really means.

Here is the lobby of the hotel we stayed in.

This is the time of the year that we need to wear warm clothes. Winter is around the corner and outside is already freezing cold. As we were cleaning and arranging our attic last Wednesday, I am very happy because I finally found my leather winter boots. Not the same with the justin boots but it is enough to keep your feet warm when walking outside during winter. Imagine I am trying to find it for almost 5 years. It still looks good and I am really happy.My friend was telling me last time that I am a shoes collector. She saw a lot of winter boots and shoes with different styles, colors, textures and materials in our house. I don’t really need a new one this winter. I believed ss I have enough. What do you think with fifteen pairs of winter shoes?

I am ready for winter. All my winter clothes, jackets, gloves, caps and hats and other winter accessories are very ready now. How about you? Keep warm in this cold weather peeps!
