The rain finally stopped pouring right now. I want to work in our garden for an hour or two. I will see later. Anyway, could you imagine having a thousand mails in your inbox in which around 35 percent of those are still unread. That is only for one mail account and I have around four email accounts. I guess I am just always busy with a lot of things that I don’t have the chance to open and read it one by one. Beside that I am still looking for best wrinkle cream, plus the house renovation that we are having right now and the garden that is waiting for me to be cleaned everyday and the household chores that I do everyday, what else can you expect from me? I also apologize to all my blogger friends especially to those who left some comments in my blogs, I will visit you as soon as I can. Please be patient with me. I hope to also clean my inbox soon. Have a great day!

We need to be concerned more about our own salvation than the salvation of others. Yes, we should do all that we can to help others in their faith journey, but we cannot give what we do not have. Discipleship is a 24/7 calling. Let us pray for the grace to be faithful so as to affect and inspire others.
John 21:20-25
20 Peter turned and saw the disciple following whom Jesus loved, the one who had also reclined upon his chest during the supper and had said, “Master, who is the one who will betray you?” 21 When Peter saw him, he said to Jesus, “Lord, what about him?” 22 Jesus said to him, “What if I want him to remain until I come? What concern is it of yours? You follow me.” 23 So the word spread among the brothers that that disciple would not die. But Jesus had not told him that he would not die, just “What if I want him to remain until I come? What concern is it of yours?” 24 It is this disciple who testifies to these things and has written them, and we know that his testimony is true. 25 There are also many other things that Jesus did, but if these were to be described individually, I do not think the whole world would contain the books that would be written.
my reflections
t h i n k : W e should do all that we can to help others in their faith journey, but we cannot give what we do not have.

I had a good chat with my sisters yesterday from the Philippines. It’s been quite a long time since I did not hear from them. I guess for more than a month now. One of my sister told me that she likes the watch I gave her. It is made in Germany. She said that she don’t experience allergy while wearing it. She is asking again for another watch. I guess I need a small shipping box if I will sent the watches to the Philippines. I gathered again some watches as presence for our next vacation there. For sure, they will be happy to have it. I am happy to hear again from my sisters and some news about our family. I miss you all and hope to see you again next year.

Acts 28:16-20, 30-31
16 When he entered Rome, Paul was allowed to live by himself, with the soldier who was guarding him. 17 Three days later he called together the leaders of the Jews. When they had gathered he said to them, “My brothers, although I had done nothing against our people or our ancestral customs, I was handed over to the Romans as a prisoner from Jerusalem. 18 After trying my case the Romans wanted to release me, because they found nothing against me deserving the death penalty. 19 But when the Jews objected, I was obliged to appeal to Caesar, even though I had no accusation to make against my own nation. 20 This is the reason, then, I have requested to see you and to speak with you, for it is on account of the hope of Israel that I wear these chains.” 30 He remained for two full years in his lodgings. He received all who came to him, 31 and with complete assurance and without hindrance he proclaimed the kingdom of God and taught about the Lord Jesus Christ.

Hello folks! I am here again for a little update. It is about my forgetfulness sometimes. and yes, sometimes we just tend to forget some things. Last week, I was looking for my house key. I was not able to find it for some days. I am thankful that we have another extra key for our front door aside from hubby’s key. Last weekend, as I washed my jacket, I found that it was inside the pocket. I do really forget things sometimes. I hope not to forget looking for top gifts for father’s day. Time is running so fast now. Next week comes the month of June already. I can’t wait till the summer comes. It would be another great time….in God’s will!

Good morning folks! It seems that the sky is crying again. No chance to work today in our garden. I better share this picture taken in Neumarkt in the Upper Palatinate of Bavaria. If I am not mistaken this is the St. Johannes or St. John’s Church. You can see a fountain near this church. It is also located near the City Hall. I have been to this city for more than a hundred times already. I wish you all a wonderful day!

Jesus is aware that the path in front of Him is going to involve suffering; He also knows that it is going to be similar for those who choose to follow Him. He makes sure His disciples are aware of this. That there have been thousands of martyrs for the faith tells us that many have considered the price of suffering and even death a small one to pay in exchange for the gift of eternal life.
John 15:26-16:4a
26 Jesus said to his disciples: “When the Advocate comes whom I will send you from the Father, the Spirit of truth that proceeds from the Father, he will testify to me. 27 And you also testify, because you have been with me from the beginning. 16: 1 “I have told you this so that you may not fall away. 2 They will expel you from the synagogues; in fact, the hour is coming when everyone who kills you will think he is offering worship to God. 3 They will do this because they have not known either the Father or me. 4 I have told you this so that when their hour comes you may remember that I told you.”

First of all, I would like to greet all Fathers around the world. Germany is celebrating fathers’ day today. I am not so sure with other countries. Happy fathers day and congratulations for being good fathers to your children. Special thanks to my dear father for being the greatest father in the world. Congratulations also to my husband for being a good father. What is the happy surprise I read last night? I was surprised as I opened hubby’s inbox last night. I know he don’t really like having a credit card but during emergencies, it is very useful. His credit limit was doubled now. I believed this is due to his being a good payer. It is like having good business credit reports when you are a businessman or company owner. When you have a good credit report, you don’t have a big difficulty when applying a loan in a bank to expand your business. In fact, I just forced HB to get a credit card because sometimes, it is really needed in times of emergency. For now, we don’t need it. I am happy that we are quite living a simple life with all the basic things we need. Having financial freedom gives us peace of mind. I hope you too! have a wonderful day to all!
