Your Grace is Amazing



Sunday morning. I was standing in the midst of the congregation, reflecting on the lyrics of the song flashed on the screen. My heart overflowed with praise and thanksgiving for how the Lord has been so gracious unto me and my family all these years. 

And so from deep within my heart I sing (silently 🤫🤐) …


A Prayer of Praise and Thanksgiving


Father God, oh, how I praise You

Thank You for how You loved me
Truly, how wide, how deep, how great is Your love for me. 


Everyday I fail You,

Everyday I fall, 

I allow my weakness to rule. 

Moment by moment I sin against  Thee

Yet Your amazing grace has never ceased to delight me. 

Unworthy that I am,

Your faithfulness I don’t deserve

You continue pouring Your blessings still. 


When once I dwelt in darkness and sin

Forgiveness I sought

That I may enter Your gates

And behold Your Holy face. 


Once again my lips declare Your goodness for the new life in Christ Thou gavest me. 

Nothing in my hands I bring 

On high I raise them up to honor Thee 

Because strong and mighty is the power of the blood that Christ shed for me. 


Today I stand before Thee in awe 

All thanks and praises to You I bestow. 


Thank You for my family, loved ones and friends, 

Thank You for the bountiful blessings in my life You bring. 

Thank You for filling our table with manna daily, 

That physical strength be ours to serve you everyday. 


I shout Your goodness!

I shout Your mercy!

I shout Your grace! 

I praise and thank You, Father, for these overflowing goodness, mercy and grace! 


On my 63rd…

Pesto Spanish Sardines Pasta: A Remake

There's a saying that goes, "One is enough, two is too much..." Uh uhhh, not for this!!! I'm referring to the Spanish Sardines Pasta which was my welcome post this year. My daughter, Ayana Grace, bought a bottle of pesto from the grocery store last month (she usually does...we seldom run out of pesto sauce in our cupboard) and I just wasn't able to resist making another try of the Pesto Spanish Sardines Pasta so here it is...

Ensaladang Mustasa

It's back to work today, after five days of rest, something I've been looking forward to. As if the  long Christmas holiday vacation was not enough :) Well, days just seem to fly so fast! Thanks to the additional non-working holidays brought about by the Pope's visit to my country, the Philippines. I had time to relax, stay at home, bond with family and yes, sort picture files in my computer. In between social networking, of course, I cooked for my family. With my husband home, there has to be fish and vegetables on the dining table. There was a bunch of mustasa (mustard) leaves left in the vegetable bin. What could be a better and perfect partner to fried fish than Ensaladang Mustasa (Mustard Salad)? Very simple and easy, here's how I did it. Ingredients: 1 bunch of mustasa leaves Rock salt 2 medium-sized tomatoes, sliced 1 small onion, sliced thinly 3 tbsps vinegar Iodized salt, ground pepper and sugar to taste Steps: 1. Cut mus

Ensaladang Alugbati (Malabar Spinach Salad)

This post appeared in my Facebook memories today. I'm glad it did! I featured this salad in my FB page a year ago.  Alugbati  (Malabar Spinach)  Salad (Ensaladang Alugbati). This came up when I received for the first time this bouquet of alugbati from Erik, my officemate. He shares with us fruits and veggies fresh from his garden.
