 | Welcome to The Charioteer's Page! | Sep 10, 2005 |
Welcome to my site! I'm just starting out so please bear with me. SPECIAL GROCERY LIST
Louise Redden, a poorly dressed lady with a look of defeat on her face, walked into a grocery store.
She approached the owner of the store in a most humble manner and asked if he would let her charge a few groceries.
She softly explained that her husband was very ill and unable to work, they had seven children and they needed food..
John Longhouse, the grocer, scoffed at her and requested that she
leave his store at once.
Visualizing the family needs, she said:
'Please, sir! I will bring you the money just as soon as I can.'
John told her he could not give her credit, since she did not have a charge account at his store.
Standing
beside the counter was a customer who overheard the conversation
between the two. The customer walked forward and told the grocer that
he would stand good for whatever she needed for her family. The grocer
said in a very reluctant voice, 'Do you have a grocery list?'
Louise
replied, 'Yes sir.' 'O.K' he said, 'put your grocery list on the scales
and whatever your grocery list weighs, I will give you that amount in
groceries.'
Louise hesitated a moment with a bowed head, then
she reached into her purse and took out a piece of paper and scribbled
something on it. She then laid the piece of paper on the scale
carefully with her head still bowed.
The eyes of the grocer and the customer showed amazement when the scales went down and stayed
down.
The grocer, staring at the scales, turned slowly to the customer and said begrudgingly, 'I can't believe it.'
The
customer smiled and the grocer started putting the groceries on the
other side of the scales. The scale did not balance so he continued to
put more and more groceries on them until the scales would hold no
more.
The grocer stood there in utter disgust. Finally, he
grabbed the piece of paper from the scales and looked at it with
greater amazement.
It was not a grocery list, it was a prayer, which said:
'Dear Lord, you know my needs and I am leaving this in your hands.'
The grocer gave her the groceries that he had
gathered
and stood in stunned silence.
Louise
thanked him and left the store.. The other customer handed a
fifty-dollar bill to the grocer and said; 'It was worth every penny of
it. Only God Knows how much a prayer weighs..'
THE POWER: When you receive this, say a prayer. That's all you have to do.
Just
stop right now, and say a prayer of thanks for your own good fortune.
Then please send this to all your friends and relatives.
I
believe if you will send this testimony out with prayer in faith, you
will receive what you need God to do in your and your families' life .
So dear heart, trust God to heal the sick, provide food for the hungry,
clothes and shelter for those that don't have as we do. Amen & Amen
Prayer is one of the best free gifts we receive.
There is no cost but a lot of rewards. God Bless!

I got this from an email and now would like to share it with you:
Dear Lord, I thank You for this day,
I thank You for my being able to see
and to hear this morning.
I'm blessed because You are
a forgiving God and
an understanding God.
You have done so much for me
and You keep on blessing me.
Forgive me this day for everything
I have done, said or thought,
that was not pleasing to you.
I ask now for Your forgiveness.
Please keep me safe
from all danger and harm.
Help me to start this day
with a new attitude and plenty of gratitude.
Let me make the best of each and every day,
to clear my mind so that I can hear from You.
Please broaden my mind
that I can accept all
things.
Let me not whine and whimper
over things I have no control over.
And give me the best response
when I'm pushed beyond my limits.
I know that when I can't pray,
You listen to my heart.
Continue to use me to do Your will.
Continue to bless me that I may be
a blessing to others.
Keep me strong that I may help the weak...
Keep me uplifted that I may have
words of encouragement for others.
I pray for those that are lost
and can't find their way.
I pray for those that are misjudged
and misunderstood.
I pray for those who
don't know You intimately.
I pray for those that will delete this
without sharing it with others
I pray for those that don't believe.
But I thank You that I believe
that God changes people and
God changes things.
I pray for all my sisters and
brothers.
For each and every family member
in their households.
I pray for peace, love and joy
in their homes; that they are out of debt
and all their needs are met.
I pray that every eye that reads this
knows there is no problem, circumstance,
or situation greater than God.
Every battle is in Your hands for You to fight.
I pray that these words be received
into the hearts of every eye that sees it
in Jesus' name. Amen!
If you prayed this prayer,
Please share with as many people as you can...
God Bless ! ! ! ! !

It was like hearing about the passing of a superhero..only now its for real. I just attended the wake of a good friend..Nonoy/Manny Distor was a lot of different things to many people, and rightly so. After the shock and disbelief upon hearing the news, I remembered some things about Manny and what he was like. He was a good friend. And beneath the occasional goofiness there was a depth of spirituality that speaks of his sincere love for God. You can see this in his relationships and the way he dealt with the people around him.
But most of all, without getting too weird or over spiritual, he was one of the few guys I knew to truly understand and live out some overused yet misunderstood words:
1. Cross (I believe he knew its true meaning and power, That's why many people tag him religious; yet he enjoyed life like everyone else..a somewaht offseting combination to some..nice one manny.)
2. Life (he lived and loved to the fullest- spirit, soul and body. always has an encouraging word from this guy.)
3. Passion (100% or more in almost everything he did. He went out doing the things he loved the most.)
4. Rest (He put his hope and trust in God; and even shared his faith with others).
Farewell buddy. We know you are now walking by sight and having a mighty good time with the Lord.
We will miss you.

This year he turned ******* years old (I'm not sure how this information is classified so if you want, please ask him yourself). And yeah, I think he liked the cake too. :-)
Happy birthday bro. |

Speaking of good things happening..here's yet another nice story to share I found in the web:
Being nice is contagious
Submitted By: CDOG
Date Submitted: 8/25/2007
I live in a very over populated beach community in the Los Angeles area, and I love it here! But sometimes it’s easy to loose your cool. Today was a day I wish I did not get out of bed. I mean that if I did not have to wake up and deal with all the things that we deal with on a daily basis, it would have been wonderful. How ridiculous? Anyways, when I didn’t expect anyone to actually pay attention to me "CDOG" it happened! So what happened? I had a cup of joe in the morning and that was my meal for the AM, not healthy I know. Anyways, ol CDOG`s belly was grumbling like a concrete truck on an off day. So, I jumped in my car and decided to grab some food. So, I was inline at Taco Bell and the line is like SIX FLAGS ON LABOR DAY!!!!! So, finally I get to the mic to place my order and wouldn’t you know, this women in a nice sedan pulls in and is stuck in such a way that unless I moved for her, she wouldn’t be able to get out. So I backed up and waved her into my spot in the front of the line. To my surprise, this young gal did not wave to say thanks, I was cool with it because I thought to myself that I had done something nice for a change. After the gal received her food and pulled away, I pulled into the ordering spot, not mad, but hungry, and the employee said, "Dude, that girl just paid for your food." That taco and burrito were the most satisfying nourishment my body and mind had ever absorbed!!!!!! If Just by chance you are that person who bought my food- Thank you! We can change this world one person at a time.

Please watch Hollywood Bootcamp every Monday 8:30pm on QTV starting August 13, 2007. A true Hollywood experience!
 GOD is GOOD and FAITHFUL! Araneta Coliseum was packed to the rafters as the VCF Metro Manila churches converged for this event which happens but thrice a year. And what a celebration it was! Pastor Steve delivered another stirring message which possibly had the longest title ever -"Purpose Driven Prison Break for your Best Life Now" . Long title, short message, but greatly impactful and inspiring. Talents Inc. led in showcasing the talents of VCF artists in the concert that followed. Now everyone is looking forward to the eagerly anticipated EN07 World Conference in July. Here are some photos of the convergence thru the lens of Senor Marco Pajo. Do check out the Pageman's Convergence Highlights and more photos from mi hermano marco's blogsite. Muchas Gracias!
Single and dateless on Valentine's Day? No problem...
Without exact, specific and topnotch directions it might take you a while before
getting to this humble basement boutique in Makati Avenue - the ILoveYouStore.
But last Valentine's day I discovered the reason for all the hoopla...and I have to conclude that there is no tinge of hype when they say that its the best value for money you can squeeze out of twenty bucks on this side of the literary universe.
From Vanni Liwang's random ramblings, to Syke's beat -driven political commentaries to Wawi Navarrosa's carefully chosen ballads and tracks ...it was poetry, song, rap, movement and stand-up humour all blended into one sonorous evening to define the meaning of love..not the least on a valentine's day.
If you have something to say through poetry, dance or song or if you have a listenong ear looking for raw truth expressed in various media..I
say bring it on and go to the next OpenSpoken...its an open mic affair and they even let you sign the tarpaulin if its your first time to perform.
As the say.. love is best served..open and spoken.
GOD IS GOOD!
A very heartfelt thanks for all your prayers and support!
My mother Lorna is now out of the hospital after a very successful quintiple heart bypass operation! Already up and about and fast recovering at home, she also wants to convey her heart-felt gratitude to everyone who prayed, visited, donated -blood, contributed money and to those who are about to make and fulfill pledges..all making this possible.
Our sincerest thanks to YOU our dear friends and spiritual family!
Special mention to our dear Pastors: Paolo and Jen Punzalan, Steve and Deborah Murrell, Robert and Mylene Hern,
Ferdie and Judy Cabiling, Julius and Aileen Fabregas, Bernard Marquez, Neil Bernardino, Ariel Marquez, Mark and Weena Tusoy, Rico and Kitty Ricafort, Jonathan Bocobo., Nixon Ng, Caloy and Belle Antonio, Joey and Marie Bonifacio, Jun Escosar, Jap Paderes, LA and Macy Mumar, William and Tanya Alcantara and many others who helped us like those from KIDSCHURCH , FortSingles, TalentsInc, VCF-Fort, VCF-Galleria,VCF-Taft, VCF-QC, VCF-Alabang, PeopleSupport, Accenture, Adamson Alumni, Makati Medical, Maxicare, MorningStar-NY c/o Evelyn Juan, Donita Villarama and many other friends, brothers and sisters.
As of today, 65 percent of the original amount to be raised has been settled..So do keep it coming :-)
May the Lord bless you a hundred and a thousand-fold!
GLORY TO GOD!
