A Glimpse of Me

The Lord was pleased that Solomon had asked for wisdom. So God replied, “Because you have asked for wisdom in governing my people with justice and have not asked for a long life or wealth or the death of your enemies—I will give you what you asked for! I will give you a wise and understanding heart such as no one else has had or ever will have! And I will also give you what you did not ask for—riches and fame! No other king in all the world will be compared to you for the rest of your life!”

1 Kings 3:10–13

A loud and cheerful greeting early in the morning
will be taken as a curse!

Proverbs 27:14

Encouragement for Today

There’s a communication principle here: regardless of intent, your timing and delivery should always take into account the recipient’s state and needs. A neighbor doesn’t want to hear your loud greeting in the morning; to him or her, it’s as obnoxious as a curse. Focus your attention on the other person when you attempt to communicate.

Father’s Day is coming soon. It’s time to think of ideas on what to do on Father’s day for my dear husband. I usually make a video presentation for him and I show it to him the first thing in the morning. So he would actually start off his day feeling on top of the world with all the mushy mushy words I have written for him, in behalf of my kids. This year, I wonder what to do. Doing video presentation every year could be a bit boring too.

Probably, we just go and shop for casual shirts for him. He has run out of casual shirts already… too old to be used. But the only thing is, when it’s nearing holiday time, all the malls will be full of people. I hate shopping through a crowded place. It irritates me. Sometimes, we have to stand in the long queue just to pay for the things we have shopped. But we have to do it because there’s a lot of offers especially when it’s holiday time.

I was actually browsing thru the net if I can do shopping online. It’s easy, convenient and fast, I guess. Here’s what I found: there’s this black friday sale that is available online. I have read about good reports from buying through this and the best part is, not only it’s cheap but you don’t need to stand in queue just to pay for your shopped goods. And another good part is, there’s a lot of branded goods that are available. Amazing.
