Ocean garbage: where do they travel?

     The small plastic bottle covers or even the tiny hairpin that we nonchalantly throw down the rivers and ocean bays. The plastic bags that we leave behind at the beach after a fun-filled picnic. Or even the tampoons and straws and every plastic, tin trash that we think the vastness of the ocean can contain, because it's just a "little harmless thing" anyway, so we, without guilt, just throw them while no one is watching..  Where do these garbage travel  anyway?  Where do the waves and current take them?

     Below is a heart breaking video that shows proof of the harmful effects of ocean garbage.  Maybe after watching this video, we can be more mindful of the effects of throwing non-biodegradable objects anywhere. What we think is harmless at our end may cost the life of beautiful creatures co-existing with us in this planet.

The livelihood promise

 Deuteronomy 28:8 is one of God's promises in the Bible which I hold on so dearly.  Personally, I apply this verse in my area of livelihood.  I believe that if we don't get weary in doing  that which pleases God especially in our area of livelihood, no matter how strong the temptation to do otherwise, God will bless our finances, work and home.  Be encouraged. To the fathers, mothers, single parents who work so hard to set up their families, and shun unrighteous money making activities, even though how tempting they maybe, continue doing what you have started.  To those who fear and trust God for their provision, do not worry. God will establish you and your family.  To those who are into morally questionable livelihood, it's never too late to straighten things out.  Humbly ask God to forgive and help you. Believe that God will pull you out from the pit.  Stay in God's will and course.  If you do this, you will never regret your decision.  God will pour out his favor upon you.

Read God's Word today.  It is all in that book called "Bible" and believe in his promises.  You won't regret it.

Fun at TJFM Children Christmas Party

There's no better fun than fun!

"No better fun than fun" would best describe the TJFM (The Jesus Family Ministries, Butuan City) Children Christmas Party 2014  held at its Streams Auditorium from 2-4 pm., Dec. 6, 2014.  Being a yearly wholesome treat for the TJFM English and Cebuano service sunday schoolers, the event was attended by 60 children and 40 adults (parents/guardians & volunteers included).

The party's program consisted of singing of Christmas carols, group games and prizes, exchanging of gifts and of course, yummy snacks prepared and cooked by the ever skillful and cheerful Abigail Sy.

The event was highlighted by a dance showdown of Transformers robot mascots courtesy of Aika's Balloons.  Adults and children alike enjoyed the photoshoot traffic with these Transformers robots.

"Ka bibo sa party! (The party was fun!)", said one child who regularly attends TJFM's Sunday School Intermediate class while showing off her treats, prizes and gift.
