Blessed to be a blessing

People ask God .... Why I do not get this? God why when I pray you do not answer..

I do not profess to know the answer, but personally I believe if we ask for things that will impact our lives greatly, the Lord will know when is the right time and whether our heart and attitude is right and ready to receive the things we ask for.

If we have the attitude of asking God to bless us so tha we can be a blessing to others, I believe we will end up praying prayers that get answered more often.

Only a relationship with God has power. Rituals has no power.

Dumplings

Ah....my friend from China just emailed me his dinner.....i think it looks so clear and tranquil.....it sort of give you the feeling of calmness looking at the dumplings floating on the water...

The cut chilli with light soya sauce is indeed something that pairs nicely with the dumpling.

Roasted Pork Neck

It was raining when I returned home....my wife had already put in the pork neck roast that I marinated in the morning. Hmmmm....the aroma of roast meat is always a welcome sign for a hungry man.

The roast turned out better then we expected. The meat was tender and juicy. The kids had second helpings of the mash potatoes and roasted pork.

It was indeed a great meal. Once again, we are Blessed cos everyone was Done on the Cross. Thank you Jesus!

Sold Sold Sold

Well, today marks the second time I have sold second hand baby products on the net. The first was a breast milk pump that wasn't necessary anymore. Today, I just sold a Mclaren Double Stroller.

Thank you Daddy God, it was indeed a year of restful increase. I placed the ad, on the web, a few calls came in, amounted to nothing but inquiries.

Today, the buyer was really genuine. Came and paid for the stroller on-time. Thank you Jesus!

Actually, this was a really needed sale cos my store room is full to the brim as 3 bicycles were added :-) Only my Daddy God knows when is the time to sell the stroller...no point getting anxious in the heart, all things will work out well at the right time. This brings me to this verse:


Philippians 4:6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. ⁷And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.


Bye Bye Mclaren......
You have served us well.....we have survived numerous countries together and you never broke down or gave up on us! We will not miss you.

Oven Roasted Pork Shoulder

Its funny that this morning my colleague said that he smells "Char Siew Rice" in the office at 9.30am......oppsie...i think it was me.

My fingers still has the lingering aroma of bbq sauce, spices, herbs, garlic ......I marinated the pork shoulder this morning before coming to office....going to roast it for dinner....can't wait.

Wow, I did not realise that a something so small could be so strong.....I believe it is the garlic that's leaving the office smelling like Char Siew rice.



Thinking about it, although we are so small compared to God, I think we have a very BIG impact on HIM. Otherwise, why would Daddy God send His Son, His Only Son to die on the cross as a sacrifice for me? Wow, I really feel awed that I am so important to God....thank you so much for loving me Daddy God and Brother Jesus!

Update on Naan...we made it!

Remember I said earlier that we were going to make Naan for dinner....well, in my enthusiasm, I made double portions and ended up with so many Naans.....

Ha ha ha, oh well, those that we could not finish went into the freezer.....I must say, they tasted pretty good when we ate them the next day.

Naan I must say is such a simple yet delicious and healty food. I like it with the curry, as you can see below :-)

Definitely will make them again...the garlic ones are very aromatic.
