GOD, I send up a prayer request for financial blessing for not only the person who sent this to me, but for me and all that I have forwarded this message on to. And that the power of joined prayer by those who believe and trust in you is more powerful than anything.! I thank you in Advance for your blessings.

Time in a Bottle

This is the title of my favorite songs. It is a song originally sung by Jim Croce. I also love Jim Croce's all time favorite love songs which include "I'll Have to Say I Love You in a Song" and "Photographs and Memories". Jim playing the guitar here is very adorable and I guess this made me fall for his songs.

I love the song so badly, this started when my brother taught me how to play the guitar and he too loved Jim Croce's music. This was way back in my high school days. Now I want to share the song to all of you with lyrics.

So there's the lyrics:

If I could save time in a bottle
The first thing that Id like to do
Is to save every day
Till eternity passes away
Just to spend them with you

If I could make days last forever
If words could make wishes come true
Id save every day like a treasure and then,
Again, I would spend them with you

But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do
Once you find them
Ive looked around enough to know
That youre the one I want to go
Through time with

If I had a box just for wishes
And dreams that had never come true
The box would be empty
Except for the memory
Of how they were answered by you

But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do
Once you find them
Ive looked around enough to know
That youre the one I want to go
Through time with

And the song from youtube:



One of my best responses in MYLOT:

If I could save time in a bottle, the first thing that I'd like to do, is to save it everyday the day when my mother was as healthy as before. My mother actually had a stroke last May 2007 and she had a hard time now moving her right body. Although she is in the process of recovering, it is still very difficult for me to see her struggling so hard.

I know that those who are close to their mothers can relate with me. My mother is actually my source of strength at home. But when she suffered stroke this year, I always have this painful heart. I am just thankful for the Lord who is keeping me up.

My strength are all from my Lord. I know that He will heal my mother completely in the soonest time. Please include my mother's recovery in your prayers. Thanks and God bless!

Seder Meal Experience: "A Taste of Heaven"

When I was a child, I have been to several Lord's Day Celebrations. I actually did not cared about it that much. I just looked around the people around me, while I was playing with some other kids with me. I know they have prepared something to eat, that's why I come along with my lola.

My lola (grandmother), is not catholic, but a protestant pastor. She used to bring me to protestant gatherings and celebrations. Including "Lord's Day". I loved accompanying her most of the time, I know I have to eat later. I love eating.

Eating with the Lord, during the celebration of "Lord's Day" was something I learned later. I realize that man does not live with bread alone, as the bible says. I even envy the homes who does this every Saturday night.

When I joined KSD (Kahayag sa Diyos) Community, I appreciated the celebration more and more. We first had it while we were preparing for the baptism. I recalled my childhood, the times when I don't understand it at all. I realized I am not only matured numerically but spiritually at that time.

This year's holy Thursday, was my first Seder Meal experience. Since am still single, together with other 2, we joined the married couples with their families at Balulang to celebrate the SEDER MEAL. We were adopted by the married couples, it means the singles were sparred from bringing something. But each family brought something to eat, including utensils and wine glasses.

Seder Meals are done every holy thursday, similar to Lord's Day, but this time plenty food and drinks are offered. Some kids played, but most of the children present were sitting in the tables with their parents. I admired each family for being there not just to serve but to worship with their family. We get to know each one including the helps some families have. We eat sharing foods and stories.

I was still the child who loves to eat. But this time, I played no more but felt the presence of everyone. I was with the members who were so great in serving God and the community.It was like a taste of heaven. I have seen happy faces and it was like we were in cloud9. Thus, reading today's reflection in Didache, I became so excited to share with you one of my "Taste of Heaven".
