What you are about to read is not a recipe for fruit salad, although it won’t hurt to try this one. Since I got sick, my home became busy with visitors: co-workers, friends, relatives, brethren from my home church, fellowship groups from other churches, and neighbors. When they come they usually bring something with them: flowers, biscuits, fruit juices and fruits. Wow! mango,atis, pomelo, banana, apple, sampaloc, ponkan, papaya, pineapple, longgan, rambutan and lanzones. I love to eat all of them but there’s a slight problem. On my own I can’t. I’m not able to open, peel, scoop or cut these succulent fruits. That’s when I realized the truth that no man is an island. One needs another to be able to appreciate all the good things God provides. We must be grateful of the people around us. Oops, before I forget, about the seedless grapes , I enjoy them a lot because they need only to be washed and just pop them in your mouth. If you will ask , “where’s the challenge in that?” Then you must have learned something from this story.
Little bird in the sky,
Dropped a poopoo in my eye,
I didn’t scream I didn’t cry,
I just thanked God
Carabaos don’t fly!

Thank you May for inviting me to be part of your blog circle. You've
only had a few entries, but your faith and trust in Jesus is so evident
in your words. They have encouraged my heart. Thank you my friend.
Today, may Jesus continue to fill your heart with His joy. I'm praying
for you. Take care.
Instead of baulking and shutting in to nurse self pities, you choose to write your inner thoughts and share the "God rescued" escapades you presently are encountering. .what a brave and unselfish soul you are to allow us access to your private journals..this is your ministry to glorify the Lord through your sunshine filled days and yes even the cloud filled ones..both blesses me just the same! what a wonderful privelege you share..thank you May! God bless you each day and may he give you lots and lots of wonderful thoughts to write about...
I read the comments in your blog,I've gotten into the bad habit of not signing my name after a message,sorry about that, you mistook me for Irma he he he poor Irma her messages are few but big ones and makes much more sense.. this is Malu
we often take for granted the little everyday things- peeling fruits, walking to the loo... we are so self-indulgent and complain about the most mundane of things- traffic, unexpected showers, spilled milk. but there's so much more to life. thank you, ate may, for making us see the rose in the thorns. the silver lining in the cloud. that life is more than the sum-total of basic body functions... that there's more to life than eating, working, and sleeping. may the Lord continue to fulfill His work in you as you inspire others to really LIVE.
