My Daily Nourishment

I read these beautiful words of a former classmate in facebook this morning. I am also sharing it for you to read. I know there are a lot of uncertainties and not so good experiences we have especially when we lost our love ones. Always remember to think of the goodness we received and experienced in our daily life, for sure all the negative ones will be covered.

Sunshine is finally here now after the rain we had the whole morning. I am also slowly back to my regular daily routines after an almost three weeks trip in Europe. I need to organize and arrange a lot of messy things in the house especially in my computer room. I also need to find a good document management system to store all the necessary files not only in my PC room but also the files in my computer. In fact, I am starting to clean-up hubby’s laptop now. My desktop will be the next one to be cleaned. I hope I can do everything before the end of the week. I also did some house cleaning this morning. Both offline and online responsibilities must be done on time. I guess, there is nothing to worry about all these stuffs because I have all the time to do it. Slowly by slowly, I can accomplished everything. Have a great day to all!

Jesus is the only one who has descended from heaven and thus is the only one who can authoritatively reveal to us the Father. In the Old Testament, people ascend to heaven but no one ever comes from heaven with knowledge of the Father. Jesus reveals to us the life of God, the true nature of our humanity (by being a man) and how we are destined for a life of glory in union with the Trinity.

John 16:23b-28
23 Jesus said to his disciples: “Amen, amen, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in my name he will give you. 24 Until now you have not asked anything in my name; ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be complete. 25 “I have told you this in figures of speech. The hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figures but I will tell you clearly about the Father. 26 On that day you will ask in my name, and I do not tell you that I will ask the Father for you. 27 For the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me and have come to believe that I came from God. 28 I came from the Father and have come into the world. Now I am leaving the world and going back to the Father.”

t h i n k : W e cannot afford to fight with one another as this is a complete and utter waste of our energies.

Owning a car also means having some responsibilities. If you own a car especially if you live in Europe, United States or any other countries in the world having a car insurance is always a must. Sometimes there are companies who are offering competitive car insurance quotes. It is always better to be always be prepared in times of emergencies. Thus, owning a car insurance is always an advantage. It is very easy to find car insurance quotes now due to the help of computer and internet. If you are looking for one, feel free to browse online. I am quite sure, you will find one that will fit your needs and budget. Good luck and drive safely too!

The Gospel of salvation is good news for all men and women. Many reject it when they hear it but it simply means that we who believe have to work a little harder to help them understand that the Gospel is for them as well as us. Isaiah prophesies that even the most unlikely of people will be made priests and Levites. We should expect the unexpected when we know we are dealing with God.

Isaiah 66:18-21
18 Thus says the LORD: I know their works and their thoughts, and I come to gather nations of every language; they shall come and see my glory. 19 I will set a sign among them; from them I will send fugitives to the nations to Tarshish, Put and Lud, Mosoch, Tubal and Javan, to the distant coastlands that have never heard of my fame, or seen my glory; and they shall proclaim my glory among the nations. 20 They shall bring all your brethren from all the nations as an offering to the LORD, on horses and in chariots, in carts, upon mules and dromedaries, to Jerusalem, my holy mountain, says the LORD, just as the Israelites bring their offering to the house of the LORD in clean vessels. 21 Some of these I will take as priests and Levites, says the LORD.

The summer sale fever is starting right now in our place. This is the best time to go shopping because most products in the departments store and show are quite cheaper. I also did some shopping since the past days with my friend from America. She has been complaining that shopping in Europe is quite expensive as in the U.S. but she also ended up buying some clothes. She always asked for a receipt printer, I mean a printed receipt because she is planning to refund the taxes everytime when she is done with her shopping. Are you in the mood for shopping this time? Yes, I am! I love stuffs that are on sale! Happy shopping! More updates next time!

What a way to go! Having one’s head severed simply because a young girl has pleased the king with a dance must go down as one of the most frivolous reasons ever for beheading someone. Yet, this is the nature of sin even up to now — pleasure winning out over the pursuit of righteousness and holiness. We have to be the ones to put a stop to it. And the only way to do this is to live the life of the Gospel without compromise.

Matthew 14:1-12
1 Herod the tetrarch heard of the reputation of Jesus 2 and said to his servants, “This man is John the Baptist. He has been raised from the dead; that is why mighty powers are at work in him.” 3 Now Herod had arrested John, bound him, and put him in prison on account of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip, 4 for John had said to him, “It is not lawful for you to have her.” 5 Although he wanted to kill him, he feared the people, for they regarded him as a prophet. 6 But at a birthday celebration for Herod, the daughter of Herodias performed a dance before the guests and delighted Herod 7 so much that he swore to give her whatever she might ask for. 8 Prompted by her mother, she said, “Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist.” 9 The king was distressed, but because of his oaths and the guests who were present, he ordered that it be given, 10 and he had John beheaded in the prison. 11 His head was brought in on a platter and given to the girl, who took it to her mother. 12 His disciples came and took away the corpse and buried him; and they went and told Jesus.

t h i n k : W e must speak up against injustice and sin.

Verse 16 is a sign of the work of the Lord — at least they spare Jeremiah’s life. They have not chosen to repent, yet, but at least they are not going to multiply their sins and take the life of an innocent man. It is not the same for Jesus. There will always be enemies of the truth in the world. There will always be people who seek to enrich themselves at the cost of others’ lives. We cannot remain silent as disciples of Jesus. We must speak up against injustice and sin.

Jeremiah 26:11-16, 24
11 The priests and prophets said to the princes and to all the people, “This man deserves death; he has prophesied against this city, as you have heard with your own ears.” 12 Jeremiah gave this answer to the princes and all the people, “It was the LORD who sent me to prophesy against this house and city all that you have heard. 13 Now, therefore, reform your ways and your deeds; listen to the voice of the LORD your God, so that the LORD will repent of the evil with which he threatens you. 14 As for me, I am in your hands; do with me what you think good and right. 15 But mark well: if you put me to death, it is innocent blood you bring on yourselves, on this city and its citizens. For in truth it was the LORD who sent me to you, to speak all these things for you to hear.” 16 Thereupon the princes and all the people said to the priests and the prophets, “This man does not deserve death; it is in the name of the LORD, our God, that he speaks to us.” 24 So Ahikam, son of Shaphan, protected Jeremiah, so that he was not handed over to the people to be put to death.

Hello folks! how are you doing? I hope everything is doing well to all of you. I am doing great today. In fact very happy! I will share it later on my next post here. Back to my title; I believed all of us are paying bills of different kinds in a month. From water bills to electric bills, telephone bills, insurance and a lot more, all of these need to be paid on time or else we will be in trouble. I am thankful that I have a cheap car insurance now compared to the last three years. In fact, we saved around 30% for this year’s insurance for my car. Saving around four hundred Euros in a year is already a huge amount especially that I am jobless. I am thankful that even I don’t go to work we still manage things especially on financial matters. Sometimes we just need to tighten our belts to cope up with everything. How about you?
