My soul glorifies the Lord

"...My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for the Mighty One has done great things for me— holy is His name."

[Luke 1:46-47, 49 NIV]

Quack!

Traffic came to a standstill at a roundabout..I was trying to figure out why all the cars stopped & looked around to find all the drivers taking out their phones to take a photo of a brood of ducks hurriedly crossing the roundabout.. I scrambled for mine as well to take a snapshot of this rare momentous occasion!

"Pang ilan ka sa magkakapatid?"

Here are some funny & interesting answers I got from friends:

James: in what order where you born amongst your siblings? dumugo ilong ko ate...
Jonelyn: In what birth order are you amongst your siblings?
Ava: Are you the youngest among your siblings??..... hahaha! Puede ring ... are you the only child??
Thok: You are victim number? What?
titaPurita: Chronologically, where is your place among your siblings?
Eichelle: Are you the first one out? No? Second? Third?
sirRyan: Your from number what among your brotherhood? Ambot! Si Jimmy Santos makakasagot niyan.
ateMyrna: What's your "order", sir! Ma'am?
ateMia: Here, i just always start with "how many siblings do you have." Pretty much from the answer ill know but if need be, then I'll just follow it with "are you the youngest?" People always want to hear that about them. Lol. It's a conversation. It doesn't have to be perfect. ;-D
Leo: Ahhhh....next question please?
Mervin: Ahhh ano yan e ahhhh pass! my sinat pla ako

THANK YOU EVERYONE for your efforts to try & translate this one! I had lots of laughs! Nosebleed din ako kakaisip ano nga ba at sa aking pagsasaliksik, the closest & most accurate translation would be “What is your birth order among your siblings?”

"Since we have a Kingdom nothing can destroy, let us please God by serving him with thankful hearts and with holy fear and awe. For our God is a consuming fire."

Simple Faith and Plain Truth

"The first thing I want you to do is pray. Pray every way you know how, for everyone you know. Pray especially for rulers and their governments to rule well so we can be quietly about our business of living simply, in humble contemplation. This is the way our Savior God wants us to live.

He wants not only us but everyone saved, you know, everyone to get to know the truth we’ve learned: that there’s one God and only one, and one Priest-Mediator between God and us—Jesus, who offered himself in exchange for everyone held captive by sin, to set them all free. Eventually the news is going to get out. This and this only has been my appointed work: getting this news to those who have never heard of God, and explaining how it works by simple faith and plain truth." [1 Timothy 2:1-7 MSG]
