Two Plus One = A fragment of blessing

Image
  Deuteronomy 16:17 : "Every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of the Lord your God which He has given you."   Today, this verse's application came to life earlier this morning as I went to the market to buy fresh food in preparation to the food I am about to prepare for lunch time.  At one of the corners of the marketplace, there is a parked jeepney where "Manong" and his wife sell their Local product called Banana  (lakatan and saba). After I got all the major food supplies needed for the two weeks ECQ, found myself left with an exact amount to buy two large pieces of saba which is just the right amount for today's  meal called Pochero. To my surprise, "Manong" proactively asked "Bakit dalawa lang?" Then I said, this is enough for me. He then reached out to the pile of banana and then gave me another piece, then jokingly said. There! That's three , for I - Love- you . I smiled and thanked "Manong" w...

                                           OUR COVID-19  ZOOM CELEBRATION Take a peek of the Sally's Tribute here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPPAArUZVHU At exactly 30 days before November 14th , I started thinking of a project that would make your 60th birthday special amidst our distance.

A BEAUTIFUL THING: Daily devotion in the middle of COVID-19

As this outbreak started to paralyze my daily routine starting March 17th of 2020, I was entoiled while catching up with my 20+  daily devotion back logs. Then on my 66th day, I came across this devotion entitled : A Beautiful Thing . wherein it sums up all the Beautiful things that happened to Moses and the Israelites (Old Testament) and Jesus' Crucifixion ( new testament) .  These stories are an epitome of Irony as the Israelites were given the Ten Commandments out of God's love while the people, instead of enjoying it, lived a life of indirection for 40 long years. Likewise when Jesus was about to be crucified, a woman poured an expensive perfume over His head. Doing so fulfills the anointing Jesus' body for burial ahead of time.  While these two are glaring example of two different perception of Beautiful, I was left with two reflective questions: What is the meaning of beautiful in the Lord's eyes? and What is the meaning of beautiful in a human perspect...
