Today&#39;s devotion is about believing in the greatness and goodness of God to fight our battles. God is great!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;TODAY’S SCRIPTURE&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“And David said to his son Solomon, ‘Be strong and of good courage, and do it; do not fear nor be dismayed, for the LORD God — my God — will be with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you, until you have finished all the work for the service of the house of the LORD’ ”
(1 Chronicles 28:20, NKJV)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;Is there something you’ve been believing for, something you’ve been hoping for that’s taking longer than you expected? You might be tempted to just accept things the way they are. You might be tempted to think it’s never going to happen. If that’s you today, be encouraged because God is a finisher! He will complete what He’s started in you!

Your part is to believe. Your part is to keep your eyes on Him. When you believe, you have the Creator of the universe fighting your battles, arranging things in your favor, going before you, moving the wrong people out of the way. Don’t be intimidated by the size of a problem or the size of your dream! Don’t let circumstances convince you to stop believing. “Jehovah Jireh, the Lord our Provider, is still on the throne. One touch of God’s favor and you’ll go from barely getting by to having more than enough! Begin to thank Him and declare that God is at work. Declare that He is perfecting what concerns you. Declare that He will complete everything He’s started in your life!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A PRAYER FOR TODAY&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Father God, I thank You for completing every good work that You have started in my life. I choose to believe Your Word, even when things look impossible. I choose to believe that You are working behind the scenes and that You will bring victory and breakthrough to every area of my life in Jesus’ name! Amen.

It is like a beacon of light zero-ing on us. It is not the blessings and grace  that fall short...it is us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here&#39;s a wonderful devotional about blessings from Joel and Victoria Osteen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TODAY’S SCRIPTURE&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I know that when I come to you, I will come in the full measure of the blessing of Christ”&lt;br /&gt;(Romans 15:29, NIV)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As believers in Jesus, we have what the Scripture calls “the blessing.” It’s God’s empowerment, His divine enablement to accomplish the dreams He’s given us. The blessing is simply God’s favor on your life. It’s when He’s breathing in your direction. When you walk in the blessing, you make good decisions. You see supernatural opportunities. The right people come across your path. You realize it’s not your own strength or ability; it’s the blessing of God on your life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We’ve all experienced a measure of this blessing. We’ve seen a measure of God’s favor. But I believe there is a level of blessing that God wants to release in your life like nothing you’ve ever seen before. He wants you to experience the fullness of His blessing. That word “fullness” means “to the highest degree and the greatest measure.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today, I encourage you to open up your heart and mind up to receive the fullness, the highest and greatest measure, of His favor and blessing. Don’t settle where you are. Instead, look for ways to yield yourself more to Him and allow Him to work in your life to a greater degree. Through faith and patience, you will inherit His promises and enjoy the abundant life He has prepared for you!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A PRAYER FOR TODAY&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Father God, thank You for Your goodness and faithfulness. Thank You for increasing in me as I yield myself to You. Help me to be more like You, full of Your love and goodness as I receive Your favor and blessing upon my life today. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;— Joel &amp; Victoria Osteen</description><link>http://shower-of-manna.blogspot.com/2011/07/fullness-of-blessing.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><thr:total>1</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341702617441156518.post-6560239492278690510</guid><pubDate>Sat, 23 Apr 2011 00:07:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-04-23T08:09:01.150+08:00</atom:updated><title>Happy Easter!</title><description>&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Easter has always been a special part of our family&#39;s observance of Holy Week. Sunrise Service or Worship has been an integral part of my childhood &quot;religious&quot; experience. I have no idea back then as to the meaning of Easter Sunday, but since everyone in the family went to Sunrise Service, I tagged along.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Easter early morning service was always set at 5:00 A.M. For the longest time during my childhood days, the sound of the Hallelujah Chorus by Handel woke me up at around 4:00 A.M. It was my Tiya Viring (Aunt) who took it to herself to wake up the whole household (and our neighbors) with the loud &quot;singing&quot; of the record player.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sunrise Service has always been &quot;fun&quot; as our church was creative enough to set the worship service outdoors. It was nice to attend church sitting on the grass or on mats spread on rocky terrain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Years passed and the &quot;tradition&quot; of Holy Week went on. As I grew older and started a family, the tradition lived on. There was one glaring difference though. I now know the true meaning of Holy Week. I know that our Lord Jesus Christ died on the cross to save us from sins and give us everlasting life. I now know that death did not defeat Christ as in the third day he arose from the grave and ascend to heaven. I now know that traditions will not save us but repenting for our sins and accepting Jesus Christ as our personal Savior will.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No one is perfect. No one is sinless. But the good news is, we have a loving and gracious Father in heaven that is ready to forgive if we seek for forgiveness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;Happy Easter! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://shower-of-manna.blogspot.com/2011/04/happy-easter.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><thr:total>5</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341702617441156518.post-169573816612014172</guid><pubDate>Wed, 23 Mar 2011 01:25:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-03-23T09:45:36.914+08:00</atom:updated><title>Of Doctors, Nurses and Nannies</title><description>&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;There is a growing &quot;conspiracy&quot; here in Manila for middle and upper class mommies to &quot;dress&quot; their children&#39;s nannies in &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.blueskyscrubs.com/categories/Scrubs/Scrubs-for-Women/&quot;&gt;nursing scrubs&lt;/a&gt;! Most spas and health centers also choose to have their staff dressed in &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.blueskyscrubs.com/&quot;&gt;cheap scrubs&lt;/a&gt; too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Where is the problem then? Well, now it is hard to figure out the nannies and spa attendants from nurses and doctors. They all wear scrubs! Go to a mall where there is a proliferation of young families with nannies in tow. These nannies are easy to spot for they wear the usual plain pants and colorful printed tops &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.blueskyscrubs.com/categories/Scrubs/Scrubs-for-Women/Original-Scrubs/&quot;&gt;nursing uniforms&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There should not be a problem here as surely anyone is free to wear what he/she wants to wear. The problem is in the fact that doctors, dentists and nurses wear scrub suits too. D1 is a doctor while D3 is a dentist. They wear scrubs. One time we all met at ATC for dinner. Since they both came from work they were still wearing their scrubs. Ethan was with us and he chanced upon one of his classmates and his family. The young family had a baby and nanny with them. When they left, we all burst out laughing as the nanny was wearing the exact shade of scrubs that D1, the anesthesiologist, was wearing! &lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://shower-of-manna.blogspot.com/2011/03/of-doctors-nurses-and-nannies.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341702617441156518.post-2294004382845976591</guid><pubDate>Tue, 08 Mar 2011 10:40:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-03-08T18:43:23.570+08:00</atom:updated><title>Reflection for Today</title><description>What God Calls You&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TODAY’S SCRIPTURE&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“And the angel of the LORD appeared to him and said to him, ‘The LORD is with you, O mighty man of valor’ ”&lt;br /&gt;(Judges 6:12, ESV)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In scripture, God called Gideon a mighty man of fearless courage. Now Gideon looked around and said, “God couldn’t be talking about me. I come from the poorest family. I’m the least one in my father’s house.” Gideon saw himself as weak, defeated, and not able. But God saw him as strong, confident, and being more than a conqueror.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The question is are we going to believe what God says about us, or are we going to believe what we feel, what we think, or what the circumstances look like? You may feel weak today, but God calls you strong. You may feel like a victim, but God calls you a victor. You may be afraid, but God calls you confident. You may be in debt, God calls you prosperous. You may be sick, God calls you well. You may be addicted, God calls you free. You may feel inadequate, but God calls you well able.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today, get into agreement with God. No matter what the circumstances look like, you’ve got to dig your heels in and say, “God, I agree with what You call me. I’m free, forgiven and healed in Jesus’ Name!”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A PRAYER FOR TODAY&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Father God, thank You for loving me and calling me Your own.

Eros connotes to sensual love. Phileo connotes to brotherly love. Agape has always been associated to God&#39;s love. But, do you know that apostle Paul put a spin into the meaning of the word Agape?  Paul defined it in a different context. Agape links you to God and is all about giving you the strength to love your enemies and the unlovable. It can make you reach out across the distance that separates you from them. Agape love is empowering. It makes you a strong person,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Loving an enemy is hard. It should be a step-by-step process. First, forgive your enemy. Next, &quot;un-hate&quot; your enemy. Loving your enemy might not be easy.  How can you love someone who continuous to oppress you? Be not troubled. At least now, you don&#39;t hate your enemies.  The Lord does wonders. Wait.</description><link>http://shower-of-manna.blogspot.com/2011/02/un-hate-your-enemy.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341702617441156518.post-2035925719749073104</guid><pubDate>Tue, 25 Jan 2011 14:35:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-01-25T22:43:06.644+08:00</atom:updated><title>Idolatry</title><description>&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8QMwyPnRrLTcgcCcLHUNJ0LDA2Nvxv91nI-i6EYDSYN6RWcX04WNEdLc5yztXo1ilMf4NT-shJQ45PEgwYohtCO4Ojx2yeh8A1B3rM6-7_fJa8d3wb7deOVK2a1l9O0TGahTkUMVXXn4/s1600/166359_10150125195256488_654911487_8338960_5776304_n.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 242px;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8QMwyPnRrLTcgcCcLHUNJ0LDA2Nvxv91nI-i6EYDSYN6RWcX04WNEdLc5yztXo1ilMf4NT-shJQ45PEgwYohtCO4Ojx2yeh8A1B3rM6-7_fJa8d3wb7deOVK2a1l9O0TGahTkUMVXXn4/s320/166359_10150125195256488_654911487_8338960_5776304_n.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5566132327238719778&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Idolatry is not all about the &quot;veneration&quot; of statues of saints and religious objects.

What have you learned all through 2010? Did you become a better person? Were you able to learn something out of your experiences? Is your heart hardened and now believes that God has let you down?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Everything happens for a reason. God is perfect and His plan for us is perfect too. All we need to do is trust God. It is sometimes hard to completely surrender to God&#39;s will as we tend to use our own intelligence which is just human nature.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This new year, let us all be more aware that God has a perfect plan for us. Let us all strive to be a better person. If someone had hurt us or has done us wrong, now is the time to forgive. Getting &quot;even&quot; is not an option. Putting one over someone is not an option too. I have repeatedly told my children to honest in everything they do for I believe that deceit or stealing, however small they are, are still abominable in God&#39;s eyes. My girls and I tend to be overly loud when &quot;fighting&quot; for what we believe in. We believe that fair is fair. I have taught my children to voice out their opinion but often, this characteristic is often misunderstood as being rude and disrespectful.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Integrity and honesty are important aspect of our lives. I have repeatedly drummed into my kids that they should respect the elderly but not to the point where their personal values and opinion are compromised. I have repeatedly told my children that education is important and that their quest to succeed should not be at the expense of other people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have received numerous reports that there are certain persons who are intent on ruining our reputation by spreading lies about us. There are some persons who feel that we have trodden on them all because the truth has been shielded and twisted. To these persons, let it be known that the truth will prevail in the end. However, I and my children have already gathered together in prayer to forgive those who have offended and hurt us. May the persons who we have offended and hurt find it in their hearts to forgive us too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No one is perfect. It is only Jesus Christ, as man, who was/is perfect. In essence, this means that we all make mistakes and in the process, sin. But! God is so gracious that when we seek repentance, He forgives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;May the Lord&#39;s blessings be upon you. Jehovah Jireh! May the Lord be your great provider. Jehovah Rophi! May the Lord heal you physically, emotionally and spiritually. Jehovah Rohi! May the Lord truly be your Shepherd.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold; color: rgb(102, 0, 204);font-size:130%;&quot; &gt;Happy New Year&lt;/span&gt;!&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://shower-of-manna.blogspot.com/2010/12/new-year-reflections.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><thr:total>1</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341702617441156518.post-5799617724200064805</guid><pubDate>Fri, 24 Dec 2010 23:24:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-12-25T07:25:45.489+08:00</atom:updated><title>Happy Christmas!</title><description>&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Merry Christmas!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;May the Lord continue to richly bless you&lt;br /&gt;with things that really matter.&lt;br /&gt;May you be GIFTED with good health,&lt;br /&gt;A Happy and Peaceful Home,&lt;br /&gt;and answer to your needs...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:180%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;J&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;font-size:180%;&quot; &gt;esus is the reason for the season!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://shower-of-manna.blogspot.com/2010/12/happy-christmas.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><thr:total>1</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341702617441156518.post-2801503864461327853</guid><pubDate>Mon, 13 Dec 2010 23:41:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-12-14T07:46:13.978+08:00</atom:updated><title>The Nativity</title><description>The Reason for the Season is the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. It pains me to see that the true meaning of Christmas is set aside to make way for the commercialism of the occasion. True, the birth of Christ did not happen on December 25 but the essence and significance of His glorious birth is celebrated on the said day. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is Christmas?

The grace of God is like a ray of light that is always on us. It never wavers. It never goes away.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let us praise God for all the mighty things that He has done. Let us all cling to His wonderful promise of Victory in our daily struggles.

His grace continues to pour on us like a beacon of light. Sometimes it feels like that the grace of God is not on us but believe that His grace and blessings continue and it is us who step out of the circle of grace and blessings. The Lord is faithful and sometimes one can&#39;t help but cry because of the God&#39;s manifestations of love and grace.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here I share Today&#39;s Word with Joel and Victoria Osteen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just Imagine&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TODAY&#39;S SCRIPTURE&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;No one can know a person&#39;s thoughts except that person&#39;s own spirit, and no one can know God&#39;s thoughts except God&#39;s own Spirit&quot;&lt;br /&gt;(Ephesians 3:20, NIV)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TODAY&#39;S WORD from Joel and Victoria&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When was the last time you imagined God doing something supernatural in your life? Is there a relationship that needs restoration? Is there a business you&#39;ve wanted to start, but you are holding back? If there were no limitations on your life, if anything were possible, what would you be willing to imagine?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Friend, the only limits on your life are the limits you have in your mind, and God wants to do exceedingly more than you can even imagine today! He wants to overwhelm you with His goodness and amaze you with His faithfulness. But in order for Him to exceed what you&#39;ve imagined, you have to at least be imagining something! Why don&#39;t you take a step of faith today and let your imagination come to life? Begin to see in your mind all the possibilities for your future. Meditate on the amazing things God has done throughout history. Let that seed of faith take root in your heart. Hold on to His promises because He is faithful. He is able to exceed your expectations and go beyond what you can imagine today!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A PRAYER FOR TODAY&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Father God, thank You for Your goodness and faithfulness in my life. Today I submit my imagination to You. Help me to see what You see for my future. Help me to take the limits off my thinking so I can receive everything You have in store for me. In Jesus&#39; Name. Amen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Joel &amp; Victoria Osteen</description><link>http://shower-of-manna.blogspot.com/2010/09/gods-grace-is-limitless.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341702617441156518.post-245533105313402076</guid><pubDate>Mon, 02 Aug 2010 11:15:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-08-02T19:16:09.178+08:00</atom:updated><title>The Right Connections</title><description>What a wonderful reminder from the Lord. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TODAY&#39;S SCRIPTURE&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother&quot;&lt;br /&gt;(Proverbs 18:24, NIV).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TODAY&#39;S WORD from Joel and Victoria&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you know how important it is to be connected to the right people? Your destiny is too big to accomplish on your own. But God has already arranged for certain people to speak faith into you. He has already placed in your path people who will inspire you, challenge you and help you accomplish your dreams. But the reason some people never reach their highest potential is because they never get away from the wrong people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Recognize today that not everyone can go where God is taking you. You&#39;ve got to connect with people who understand your destiny and can call forth your seeds of greatness. You don&#39;t have time to spend on people who are always pushing you down, telling you what you can&#39;t do, or never giving you their approval no matter how hard you try. Friend, life is too short to drag people along. If you will get the wrong people out of your life, then God will bring in the right people so you can fulfill the destiny He has in store for you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A PRAYER FOR TODAY&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Father in heaven, thank You for placing the right people in my life. Help me to discern the right connections You have for me. Give me strength to release the wrong relationships so I have room in my life for the people You have chosen to connect with me. In Jesus&#39; Name. Amen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Joel &amp; Victoria Osteen</description><link>http://shower-of-manna.blogspot.com/2010/08/right-connections.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341702617441156518.post-5024896219869124028</guid><pubDate>Wed, 21 Jul 2010 08:48:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-07-21T16:49:29.516+08:00</atom:updated><title>Finding Strength</title><description>Today&#39;s Devotion courtesy of Joel and Victoria Osteen&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TODAY&#39;S SCRIPTURE&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint&quot;&lt;br /&gt;(Isaiah 40:31, NIV).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TODAY&#39;S WORD from Joel and Victoria&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you need your strength renewed today? The scripture tells us that when we hope in the Lord, that&#39;s exactly what will happen—our strength will be renewed. If you&#39;ve grown weary and tired, overwhelmed by the cares of this world, it&#39;s a clear sign that you need to change what you&#39;re putting your hope in. Are you putting your hope in your job? The government? The economy? Another person? Those are all things that will change. But when you hope in the Lord, you are investing in the Rock of Ages! He never changes! He is the only solid foundation for your soul.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today, find strength by simply putting your hope in Him. Start by declaring out loud, &quot;God, I place my hope in You. I trust that You are working behind the scenes in my life. I choose to rest in You.&quot; Then, feed your hope and faith by meditating daily on the scriptures. As you renew your mind with the Word of God, you&#39;ll find strength, you&#39;ll find hope, and you&#39;ll find His victory all the days of your life!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A PRAYER FOR TODAY&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Father God, thank You for renewing my strength as I put my hope in You. I declare today that I love You and trust You. I know that You are working behind the scenes in my life. Fill me with Your peace and joy as I wait on You. In Jesus&#39; Name.

You may be facing challenges. You may look around you and see impossible circumstances. In the natural, it may look like things won’t ever change, but God is saying today, “Quit looking at your circumstances and look up! Lift up your eyes of faith and look beyond where you are because there is victory as far as the eye can see!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your enemies may have some power today, but remember, our God is All Powerful! There’s no foe that can stand against Him. Those things you are facing are temporary, but God Almighty is eternal. He’s the God who flung the stars into space. He’s the God who spoke the world into existence. When He said, “Let there be light,” light came at 186,000 miles per second. That’s power and that’s the God we serve.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I encourage you to stand strong today. Keep believing because He is working behind the scenes on your behalf. As you lift your eyes to Him, as you focus on His goodness, He will guide you and direct you in the path of victory in every area of your life!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A PRAYER FOR TODAY&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Heavenly Father, today I choose to lift up my eyes of faith toward You. Thank You for surrounding me with Your goodness and mercy. Thank You for believing in me and for preparing a good future for me. Fill my heart with Your peace and confidence as I continue to trust You in every area of my life. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.</description><link>http://shower-of-manna.blogspot.com/2010/04/thoughts-for-today.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341702617441156518.post-8292325566328360028</guid><pubDate>Mon, 22 Mar 2010 10:27:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-03-22T18:50:17.958+08:00</atom:updated><title>Imprinted Promo Products</title><description>&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Daughter #1 has been busy attending drug company conferences and symposium. One of the perks of attending such conferences are the freebies that are given away from leading drug companies. We have at our disposal several duffel bag, ballpens, drinking bottles with carabiner, folders and more -all with imprints of  different drug company logos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am quite impressed with the imprinted products. Since hubby&#39;s family business give out freebies come Christmas I thought that maybe, just maybe, there are &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.imprinted.com/&quot;&gt;imprinted promotional product&lt;/a&gt; that are affordable. I browsed the internet for such products and stumbled on www.imprinted.com. The site offers varied products that can be imprinted. Some of the products that really caught my attention are the tool gadgets that can be imprinted. Since hubby&#39;s family business is a machine shop handy tools like: screwdrivers, tape measures, tire gauges, flashlights and multi-tools are just perfect! A promotional pocket screw driver cost a mere $0.76! Order more and you can get it for less.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.imprinted.com/ceramic-mug-imprinted.html&quot;&gt;imprinted mugs &lt;/a&gt;and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.imprinted.com/carabiner-keychain-imprinted.html&quot;&gt;promotional key chain&lt;/a&gt; are popular products too. The promotional mugs are not the ordinary mugs as you can choose from a variety of shot glasses, travel mugs, ceramic mug, plastic sports bottle and more. Imprinted dot com has all the answer for your company or personal promotional product.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://shower-of-manna.blogspot.com/2010/03/imprinted-promo-products.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341702617441156518.post-5187412383900101347</guid><pubDate>Thu, 04 Feb 2010 22:54:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-02-05T07:16:12.967+08:00</atom:updated><title>Renovations!</title><description>&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;There are some minor renovations that are ongoing in my house right now. It all started when the refrigerator short-circuited which in turn burnt the unit. There was nothing really wrong with the electric wiring in the house. What went wrong was the cord was bitten by a mouse which in turn exposed the wire thereby causing it spark that eventually burn the unit. By the time I was aware of what was happening one wall of the kitchen was already on fire.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The fire was put out. The ref was a total wreck that I needed  to buy a new one. Refrigerators are quite expensive and the choices are so varied it&#39;s hard to choose which one was best for the house. In times like this, it would have been  a great help if I had some &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.savings.com/m-Home-Depot-coupons.html&quot;&gt;Savings Home Depot coupons&lt;/a&gt;. I would have saved a  bunch if  I had &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.savings.com/m-Home-Depot-coupons.html&quot;&gt;coupons for Home Depot&lt;/a&gt;. So I bought the refrigerator and it is now sitting mighty proud in its repainted corner.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The kitchen was looking so nice and fresh with its new paint and new refrigerator. I felt the urge to repaint the utility room too and then the basement. The minor repainting has not stopped for now I want to get some new odds and ends at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.target.com/&quot;&gt;Target&lt;/a&gt;. I wonder how many &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.savings.com/m-Target-coupons.html&quot;&gt;coupons at Target&lt;/a&gt; I need to get a major discount on a LCD TV.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://shower-of-manna.blogspot.com/2010/02/renovations.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><thr:total>1</thr:total></item></channel></rss>
