Wayne MI Chapter : Feast Video Recap Nov. 15

Glory to God to the following feasters that  attended the Feast Video; Melanie, Jaemel, Naty, Gary, Maricel, Ynah, Rocky, Nina, and Pk. I pray that the other members who didn't make it will be able to give it a try next time. As for the topic that we listened and shared with "Thank God I'm Filipino TGIF" was inspired from the book of Nehemiah 2:1-6.

Nehemiah’s Prayer Answered

2 And it came about in the month Nisan, in the twentieth year of KingArtaxerxes, that wine was before him, and I took up the wine and gave it to the king. Now I had not been sad in his presence. 2 So the king said to me, “Why is your face sad though you are not sick? This is nothing but sadness of heart.” Then I was very much afraid. 3 I said to the king, “Let the king live forever. Why should my face not be sad when the city, the place of my fathers’ tombs, lies desolate and its gates have been consumed by fire?”4 Then the king said to me, “What would you request?” So I prayed to the God of heaven. 5 I said to the king, “If it please the king, and if your servant has found favor before you, send me to Judah, to the city of my fathers’ tombs, that I may rebuild it.” 6 Then the king said to me, the queen sitting beside him, “How long will your journey be, and when will you return?” So it pleased the king to send me, and I gave him a definite time.

The talk was all about giving and sharing. That true joy, real happiness only comes from a Big Heart. To be truly happy, a person must forget himself. In order to do this, there are 3 things that a person must do; 1. Choose people with Big heart as Heroes. 2.  Hang out with people with Big Heart. 3. Hug other people's pain, suffering, and hunger. The Feast video ended with a sharing on "If you have a few million pesos, what would you do?  Greatness is measured not by what you have but by what you give. Greatness is innate in every Filipino.

Pass the WORD: Preacher in Blue Jeans " To Whom Do You Go"

Normally, to keep the body hydrated a person has to drink at least eight (8) glasses of water a day. Likewise, I thought of hydrating my spiritual needs regularly and one way is a regular dose of everyday spirituality from "Preacher in Blue Jeans". As the talks presented in the video uplifted and inspired me I pray that it will do the same way to you who will give time to click and watch the video.

Have a Good Day!

I finished my first plate and put it on the side and after a couple of minutes a waitress approached our table and placed the receipt tray with fortune cookies, she smiled and said “Have a Good Day!” and left. 

 “What!!?!!? “ I uttered and start laughing out loud.  I just seated for about 20mins and this waitress thought I am already done. Let me tell you what happened.

After listening to one of Bo Sanchez’ talk series The Biggest Winner I started having fruits as my breakfast and I am pretty much doing a good job following that routine.  I had my doctor’s follow up appointment today and finished almost at lunchtime. So, we head down to Hibachi buffet restaurant and I told to myself that I will start with fruits and will rest for 30 minutes before I take the main meal. When it comes to dishes I am not really fond of eating meats, I would only go more on veggies, fish, and seafood.

We got our seat and walked to the food aisle to get the first plate. As I was saying a while ago, I chose fruits for my first plate. I did enjoy every bite of the fruits I had and after that I placed my plate on the side. Well you know how it works in a buffet, right?  I don’t know what got into this waitress, probably thinking that I already had fruits, she thought that I am finished eating and had the dessert.  She approached our table and placed the receipt tray with fortune cookies and said “Have a good day.” I started laughing out loud and uttered with a surprised “What?!? I just had my first plate and that’s only fruits.” I do not know if she understands why we started laughing but I am hoping she got the message when I walk to the food aisle again and go for my main dish. 

Sounds funny, isn’t it? Normally, we eat fruits after eating our meal; it is usually serve as dessert.  I have been told that fruits should be eaten with empty stomach. Fruits digest faster. Compare to bread or meat, a slice of fruit digest quickly and is ready to go straight to the stomach and into the intestines. It is said that if you eat fruits and bread or with any meal together only produce gas.

Fruits digest quickly are blocked by bread or other meal that is taking longer to digest. The meal ferments and turns into acid. Thus, when the fruits come in contact with the food in the stomach and digestive juices, it just makes the entire mass of food to spoil. That is why it is best to have fruits for breakfast.  If a fruit is to be eaten like this, it will help to detoxify our body system and will supply us with a great deal of energy for weight loss and other life activities.

Friends, frutify your breakfast!
