Older and wiser

I've just turned 47, and I thank GOD for all these years. I'm older, yes, wiser, yes, yes! Just three years ago, I wouldn't say I was wise enough as a woman, wife and mother. But after being born again in early 2013, I could say that because of the wisdom that GOD has given me, I have gained a lot more knowledge, not of wordly things, but of the more essential, "heavenly" things. GOD opened my eyes to what I'd been doing wrong, mostly with regard the role that I play as a wife. And by the LORD's grace, I'm changing, one step at a time, becoming better with each day as I surrender myself to Him. I'm still not perfect, never will I be while in this present life, but I'm thankful to GOD for my better self as a woman of faith and I'm excited about the even better life that He has in store for me. 

This, I know because the LORD is so good and He loves me, just as He loves you. 

Thank you, Father, for 47 years of a blessed life!

McDonald's' Shake Shake Fries is back!

Love flavored fries? I absolutely do! I'm not really fond of fries when it's plain and in fact I could eat only a few strands but when it comes in barbecue flavor, I could finish a large order! And boy, was I glad to see on TV that the Shake Shake Fries was back at McDonald's! I wasted no time and at once had it last Saturday for merienda before going to church. I learned there's a new flavor, the Cheesy-Tomato Pizza but I still went for my old favorite - barbecue. It went perfectly well with my Filet-o-Fish sandwich and a cup of cappuccino.

I guess I'll be visiting McDonald's more frequently these days. :)

Today's Word: Psalm 150:1

Do you worship God not just in prayer but also in songs? If you haven't tried it, I urge you to do it as part of your "quiet time", in addition to praying and reading the Bible. If you're having a bad day and are feeling low or discouraged, I strongly urge you to worship the Lord by singing to Him. You will feel instantly uplifted and your troubles will just slip away. It is said that 
God inhabits the praises of His people. 

Psalm 150:1 says: "Praise the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens". Oh, He is worthy to be praised for all the good things He gives us everyday - food on our table, our family, His protection, everything that we have! Praise and thank the Lord! Feel the Spirit move you as you worship! Lift up your hands and sing a Christian song and feel  a well stirring up, filling you with a good, loving feeling. God loves His people praising Him and singing songs to Him. Feel Him bless you as you worship Him today.
