The Messianic Banquet

Human life is a remarkable mixture of that famous "smile and a tear." We all have our ups and downs in life. We attend both weddings and funerals. Parents witness graduation and often the failures of their children as well. Married life can be like the smell of roses and turn into a nightmare. Young people are successful todayand can be turned down tomorrow. Friends may disappoint us and we may witness infidelity not only in our government but even in our church. All these may leave us confused and downcast. What are we to do. Are we to give up our faith in God? This is yesterday's reflection from the church my dear friends. I know that most of us are so busy with our daily lives trying to meet both ends meet that sometimes we forget our Sunday obligation of going to Church. But it doesn't mean that we don't really have time for God. For me it's not really important that we go to Church regularly as long as we believe that in our lives there's GOD. Prayer for me is the most important, because you can do it even at work or wherever you are. Just don't forget to include a minute of your time to talk to HIM if possible!

Laughter

They always say that laughter is the best medicine... Do you believe in this? I DO! It also a great exercise for our face especially our jaw. Laughing increases oxygen intake, thereby replenishing and invigorating cells.

Nothing is more important than happiness - it has a global effect on all areas of your life including success and even health. Here's just one of many findings about the benefits: researchers at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, found that people who laughed the least were 40 per cent more likely to suffer from heart disease than people who laughed more frequently.

^Laughing engages almost every major part of your body.

^When you laugh, you lose muscular control (fall over, bend over or wet yourself).

^Laughter exercises your diaphragm. The diaphragm separates your chest cavity and your abdomen.

^When you laugh, it convulses and gives your organs a much-needed massage, stimulating circulation and enhancing general wellbeing.

^When you laugh, your heart rate and blood pressure increase, dilating your cardiovascular system. When you stop, they decrease to below normal. Laughing ultimately lowers heart rate and blood pressure.Laughing increases oxygen intake.

^When we laugh, we gulp in air. Because the cardiovascular system is already dilated, the oxygen moves a lot faster to already relaxed muscles. This is one reason why you feel so good afterwards.

^Laughing balances the brain. During normal beta activity, the left and right sides of your brain look different under a PET (positron emission tomography) scan. When you laugh, both sides look almost identical.

^Laughing releases the body's natural opiates and pain reliever; beta-endorphins.

^When you laugh, your head and your facial muscles move. These muscles are connected to your thymus gland, which in turn is responsible for your immune system. The more you laugh, the better your immune system.The results of this are a release of tension, extreme relaxation, bonding with fellow laughers and, very often, the end of conflict and enough mental space to work out a resolution

Laugh often, long and loud.And if you have a friend who makes you laugh,spend lots and lots of time with them.

A Candle of Life

One of our close friend back in the States has been diagnosed with uterus cancer and will have a surgery soon. Please help me pray for her safe operation and fast recovery. She sent me this prayer and I hope that you can share a little time to stop by and read this and hopefully let this circulate in the blog sphere.

Dear God, I pray for the cure of cancer. Amen. All you are asked to do is keep this circulating, even if it's to one more person. In memory of anyone you know that has been struck down by cancer or is still living with it. A Candle Loses Nothing by Lighting Another Candle. Please Keep This Candle Going!There will be a cure soon. Thank you. Gaile Seevers.

YAKISOBA

I woke up early this morning so I can grab some opps while the kids are still asleep and I got lucky to have one. After I got done and submitted it, I started preparing the ingredients I need for our breakfast. I was in the middle when everything came off.. Oh my, I totally forgot about the power outage today. Not a good situation during summer, whew! But anyhow, I told my kids if they would like to go to the Gym so we can play while the electric is out. They like the idea so we head out there and played for about two hours and then came back home. When the power resumed, I cooked our suppose to be breakfast YAKISOBA and ate it for brunch. Masarap na pansit mga kababayan! Miss ko na kasi ang pansit hehehe..

Smile

Smile makes us look younger. When you wear a smile everyday it creates a lovely and stress free atmosphere. It also encourages other people to do the same. Its a cost-less way of making our appearance look young and happy.. It wont cost even a single penny to smile, so why not do ti everytime right?

KEEP SMILING EVERYONE!
