Tea Talk Time #52

1. I'm having... Water, coffee, soda, you name it (any liquid at home except for alcohol!) :) The kids with DH and I are having a "drinking" feast here, haha.

2. I'm feeling... Happy, joyful, and hopeful for the coming new year 2011. I have also completed 52 weeks of joining Tea Talk Time and I thank my friend, Ruth for hosting this wonderful meme. I shall be joining her other memes this time, in my other site, Stories From My Garden, and hope to see you there too.

3. On my mind... More blessings from the Lord, and more time with my family. :)

...(He) loves us
and has freed us
from our sins by his blood...
Revelation 1:5
Thanks Ruth for the refreshing Tea/Coffee Break! God bless you more, my friend!

Music Monday #44 ~ Nightbird

Thanks to Shawntele of Saved by Grace, for this wonderful meme.

Although a lot of other MM ladies like me are sad because Shawntele has ended Music Monday today...

She will be undergoing "renovations" in her blog, and I know that God has many plans for her and her family. We will all miss MM, but at the same time we are happy because we know that our friend is directed by our great God in whatever decisions she has made for her and her family.

I will still continue posting a video for today, for it is our 14th wedding anniversary and I am sharing one very special song which DH and I liked very much when we were still going out as a couple...

I thank you, God, for 14 years with DH... for two beautiful and intelligent children... and for great Christian friends along the way...



Fly on through the night wind take a star to her for me
Please wisper i love her make her wait for me
Here it seems so cold now how i wish her arms around me
Soar nightbird of love tell her wait for me

Cause you have wings you know i let you go
Almost every night
But lonliness can dull the shine
Of even the bright moon light

Night bird fly on, fly on
Night bird, sing her my song

Oh before you leave take this band of gold with you
And if you can find her tell her i am true

Cause you have wings you know i let you go
Almost every night
But lonliness can dull the shine
Of even the bright moon light

Night bird fly on, fly on
Night bird sing her my song

Tea Talk Time #51

1. I'm having... Plain, purified water from Crystal Jade La Mian Xiao Long Bao in Greenhills.

2. I'm feeling... Happy. We just had lunch to celebrate my in-laws's 54th wedding anniversary. 54 years! And like I said, we are 40 years their junior on Dec. 27th! (My not so good Math skills says that's 14, haha)

3. On my mind... More blessings from our Lord for 2011! MERRY CHRISTMAS and a BLESSED NEW YEAR, Everyone!!!

In the same way, faith by itself,
if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.
James 2:17
Thanks Ruth for the refreshing Tea/Coffee Break! God bless you more, my friend!

Music Monday #43 ~ Mary Did You Know

Thanks to Shawntele of Saved by Grace, for this wonderful meme. There won't be Monday blues for me again because my week starter will be filled with melodies for the Lord!

May we all be inspired by this beautiful song. Merry Christmas to all! Let us all welcome the blessings of the coming New Year as we all remember the Reason for the Season. Thank You, Jesus, for your everlasting love.

MERRY CHRISTMAS and a BLESSED NEW YEAR, Everyone!!!



Mary, did you know
that your Baby Boy would one day walk on water?
Mary, did you know
that your Baby Boy would save our sons and daughters?
Did you know
that your Baby Boy has come to make you new?
This Child that you delivered will soon deliver you.

Mary, did you know
that your Baby Boy will give sight to a blind man?
Mary, did you know
that your Baby Boy will calm the storm with His hand?
Did you know
that your Baby Boy has walked where angels trod?
When you kiss your little Baby you kissed the face of God?

Mary did you know.. Ooo Ooo Ooo

The blind will see.
The deaf will hear.
The dead will live again.
The lame will leap.
The dumb will speak
The praises of The Lamb.

Mary, did you know
that your Baby Boy is Lord of all creation?
Mary, did you know
that your Baby Boy would one day rule the nations?
Did you know
that your Baby Boy is heaven's perfect Lamb?
The sleeping Child you're holding is the Great, I Am.

Tea Talk Time #50

1. I'm having... Black coffee with Splenda. Gotta keep my mind awake for this afternoon's meeting with my students' parents.

2. I'm feeling... Excited to discuss the grades of my students to their parents. Today is our school's Parent-Student-Teacher Conference! :)

3. On my mind... A successful meeting with the parents, and my prayer that my adolescent students will strive harder for next year's 3rd (and last) Trimester.

The LORD is my strength and my defense;
he has become my salvation.
He is my God, and I will praise him,
my father’s God, and I will exalt him.
Exodus 15:2
Thanks Ruth for the refreshing Tea/Coffee Break! God bless you more, my friend!

Music Monday #42 ~ El Shaddai

Thanks to Shawntele of Saved by Grace, for this wonderful meme. There won't be Monday blues for me again because my week starter will be filled with melodies for the Lord!

This is one classic worship song that speaks of how great our loving God is...



El Shaddai, El Shaddai,
El-Elyon na Adonia,
Age to age You're still the same,
By the power of the name.
El Shaddai, El Shaddai,
Erkamka na Adonai,
We will praise and lift You high,
El Shaddai.

Through your love and through the ram,
You saved the son of Abraham;
Through the power of your hand,
Turned the sea into dry land.
To the outcast on her knees,
You were the God who really sees,
And by Your might,
You set Your children free.

El Shaddai, El Shaddai,
El-Elyon na Adonia,
Age to age You're still the same,
By the power of the name.
El Shaddai, El Shaddai,
Erkamka na Adonai,
We will praise and lift You high,
El Shaddai.

Through the years You've made it clear,
That the time of Christ was near,
Though the people couldn't see
What Messiah ought to be.
Though Your Word contained the plan,
They just could not understand
Your most awesome work was done
Through the frailty of Your Son.

El Shaddai, El Shaddai,
El-Elyon na Adonai,
Age to age You're still the same,
By the power of the name.
El Shaddai, El Shaddai,
Erkamka na Adonai,
I will praise and lift You high,
El Shaddai.

El Shaddai, El Shaddai,
El-Elyon na Adonai,
Age to age You're still the same,
By the power of the name.
El Shaddai, El Shaddai,
Erkamka na Adonai,
I will praise and lift You high,
El Shaddai.

Tea Talk Time #49

1. I'm having... Plain water...

2. I'm feeling... A bit in a rush -- finishing lessons for next week's Parent-Student-Teacher Conference in school...

3. On my mind... One of my student's failing grades... :(

The unfolding of your words gives light;
it gives understanding to the simple.
Psalm 119:130
Thanks Ruth for the refreshing Tea/Coffee Break! God bless you more, my friend!

Music Monday #41 ~ Lifesong

Thanks to Shawntele of Saved by Grace, for this wonderful meme. There won't be Monday blues for me again because my week starter will be filled with melodies for the Lord!

Praise You, oh God, for all the things You are giving us... May we be a living testimony of Your never-ending love and faithfulness...



Empty hands held high
Such small sacrifice
If not joined with my life
I sing in vain tonight

May the words I say
And the things I do
Make my lifesong sing
Bring a smile to You

Let my lifesong sing to You
Let my lifesong sing to You
I want to sign Your name to the end of this day
Knowing that my heart was true
Let my lifesong sing to You

Lord I give my life
A living sacrifice
To reach a world in need
To be Your hands and feet

So may the words I say
And the things I do
Make my lifesong sing
Bring a smile to You

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Let my lifesong sing to You

Tea Talk Time #48

1. I'm having... Lemon Green Tea...

2. I'm feeling... Excited for tomorrow's field trip with my students...

3. On my mind... Christmas which is fast approaching! :)

These have come so that your faith--
of greater worth than gold, which
perishes even though refined by fire--
may be proved genuine and may result in praise,
glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.
1 Peter 1:7
Thanks Ruth for the refreshing Tea/Coffee Break! God bless you more, my friend!
