ISAIAH 6:8 "Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying "Whom shall I send? And who will go for us? And I said, "Here am I. Send me!"

Let your neighborhood, your office, your home, your city know the Good News-- that God cares for us, that He sent His son to take us to heaven, that there is forgiveness for our sins and failures, and that there is help for our despair and hopelessness. Don't wait until you hear the voice of an angel before you think about the message God wants you to deliver. You're His spokesperson.

The camera you are looking at the picture is my belated birthday gift from my son in law, Manny, the husband of Mayette. Now with new camera, I can always take pictures unlike before when I would just borrow my daugthers' cameras.


This blouse is my belated birthday gift from my daughter, Love. She and her family just arrived from Malaysia and they gave me this beautiful Bossini blouse.



This beautiful sleeping gown was given to me by my niece, Grace (Amazing Grace). Actually, she just knew my birthday through my blog that is why she bought the gift late. She told me she will continue the legacy of her mother, Purie (my sister) to always remember my birthday. Please read my post, My dear Sister.

These are all my belated birthday gifts, though they're late but worth it.

This was taken on January 2005 when we sent off my daughter, Love and her daughter,Tricia for Singapore. Their departure flight to Singapore was from Cebu so we spent some days in Cebu for sightseeing before their departure. In this picture is Mayette, Love and Tricia in front of the monument of Lapulapu where the place is named after. After Love and Tricia boarded their flight for Singapore, Mayette, Manny and I sailed a boat for Cagayan de Oro on the same night. This was the time when there were no cheap flights from Cagayan de Oro to Cebu yet, so the passengers had to take a boat going to and fro the places.

Last October 31, 2009 was my sister's (Marcela) birthday. Her children gave a party for the occasion. She is already 83 years old and still strong for her age. She is blessed because her children are successful in their businesses and have high position in their works. One of her daughters is renting our commercial building in Tinao, a 15 minutes ride from the city proper for a Car Wash business.
It was a joyful celebration because all of her children, niece, nephews and other relatives was there to greet her. My other sisters was there too to gave her warm greetings.

My prayer for my sister is that, may God to continue to bless her with good health and more years to celebrate her natal day. She told me that she is ready to meet the Lord in heaven after her favorite grandchild becomes a registered nurse. Her grandchild, Checky is now busy in her review classes for her nursing board this coming end of November this year. May God continue to grant the desires of her heart. God bless my sister!
