The Fifth Year and still going!
August 2 is the Anniversary Date of this blog. Though today is already the 6th. But a great day! Today, the 6th of August is the birth date of my bff (best friend forever) as long been termed for lasting friendship. A golden friendship. Yes! to my counting, 51 years!
So, Happy Birthday Hermie!
Hopeffully with God's blessing, the same lasting friendship I'll have with you, my readers, through this blog. Well, of course, it depends on Blogger of Google. HaHa. Let's pray and hope for the best.
First, I want to thank you all, those who still keeps on following or maybe peeping on, once in a while in this blog. As long as you are there, The Pen lives. You are the breath, so to speak.
To celebrate the Fifth Year, let me share with you my "Secret" as described by Ralph Spaulding. This is the version I have noted and copied way long ago. If you google his name, you'll find the most updated, but here, these lines have been "my secret":
SECRET
By Ralph Spaulding
I meet God in the morning
When my day was at its best;
And His presence came like sunrise,
Like glory in my breast.
All day long His presence lingered,
All day long He stayed with me;
And we sailed in perfect calmness,
O'er a very troubled sea.
So I think I knew the secret,
Learned from many a troubled way;
You must seek Him in the morning,
If you want Him through the day.
There it is. Finally posted in my blog.
Above all, seek and find GOD first. Without God, nothing is possible nor impossible.
Jesus himself urged to ask, as it is said in Matthew Chapter 7: 7,8:
"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks,the door will be opened."
Here more, I share the words of Henry Kaiser:
"First, decide what you want to do. Then have the courage to start toward your goal
no matter how impossible it looks."
More from Frances de Sales:
"Whatsoever happens, abide steadfast in a determination to cling simply to God."
Last, but not the least, Simple-Me's slogan from Oliver Goldsmith:
"Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall."
There they are, my dear readers, some lines I could share with you. May all these
comes at the right moment and time in your live's space.
God blessings, guidance and protection to All, and to The Pen.
More Coming From The Pen. Stay Tuned!😊💝
