DEJA VU DECEMBER 26, 2016

Strangest thing happened today... I just finished reading my post on facebook on December 26, 2013 where the lights went off and we ended up with no lights for 17 long hours! Then I realized how precious power is indeed in our lives.

Today, December 26, 2016 AT 10:30 am, our lights went off! Deja vu? I called DTE...no answer...it is a holiday! They took our address and will dispatch the problem. The machine told me to expect the power back on at 1pm. If I am just reporting it, how do they know when it will be fixed? Lights came on at 11:30 am ( Thank you God!). After a few minutes, DTE called that it was an equipment problem and power will be restored by 1 pm. There are around 1700 involved in our area. DTE called 3 more times with different times of power restoration. Wow! DTE is really efficient!
At the same time the power went off here, power also went off in our relatives place in Ontario, Canada. Weird? You bet!

Anyway, I thank God that it was not cold today....in the 50's and that the power was off only for an hour.

Have a great day and may God bless all of us!

ROSARY RALLY 2013, OCTOBER 12, 2013

Rosary Rally Crusade was held yesterday, October 12, 2013 all over the United States.  I was on one of the rallies which was held at a park. The prayer started promptly at 12 noon local time...weather was gorgeous...sunny and a little bit on the cooler side, which was fantastic.  It was a very successful, blessed and happy event shared by the rally attendees. After the rally, we stayed at the park socializing since it was a beautiful day. A wonderful, wonderful event....and I thank all of the rally participants that help me pray and make the rally a very successful one this year. Everyone felt sooo blessed and cannot wait for the rally next year. We hope and pray that we will do it again next year, God willing.

Purpose of the rally was to pray for our beloved country and the whole world, organized by America Needs Fatima organization. There were 11,247 rallies held which exceeded expectations of 10,000. Isn't that amazing?  11,247 rallies praying at the same time for America and the world.  People that joined felt so blessed and happy and knew that in a small way helped pray for our country and the world. We sure need the prayers, don't you all agree? I am sure that God and the Blessed Virgin Mary are so happy for our prayers and I hope and pray that God will continue to bestow His blessings to our dear, beloved country and the world.

May God bless all of us and have a great, blessed and happy day!

LABOR DAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 2013

It is Labor Day, last day for summer activities especially barbecuing ribs, chicken, steak, hamburger, hot dogs, vegetables etc..etc... Excuse me, talk about yourself!  Why? Because I am sure there are many people that barbeque all year round, including us.  That is right! As long as the weather is nice with no snow on the ground, we fire up our barbeque grill and start grilling!  Amen! You can say that again!  Anyway, I am deviating from the subject because I found this very interesting.

Do you know where your food comes from? I thought I knew. The other day, I bought a bottle of apple juice for a recipe I am going to make...thought it was a product of the USA since it has the Meijer's name on the label plus the price is better than the other brands. I guess consumers really look at price first, which I am guilty of.  But who wouldn't, with the sorry state of our economy? Besides, do we not always hear that we should try the store's brand first than the name brand items since it is cheaper, has the same taste, consistency, blah...blah...blah..

Anyway, guess what? When I looked at the label, I found out that it was " distributed by Meijer Distribution Center, Grand Rapids, Michigan."

I looked at the bottle closely, and lo and behold, "Product of China" was on top of the label, on the bottle itself.  It is so easy to miss. Why was it not on the label itself?  Did they do it on purpose so it could be missed very easily?

Why am I rambling about this? First of all, Meijer is in Michigan, originated in Michigan and the corporate headquarters is in Walker, Michigan in the Grand Rapids metropolitan area. Second, did you all know that Michigan ranks 3rd in the nation in apple production!  So, you would think that Michigan has enough to supply Meijer or any place in Michigan?  I do not know about imports and exports, but I just thought it would be nice for our stores to patronize first our local grown products, don't you all think so?  That is all folks, my 2 cents spill about what I bought which surprised me.  Why?  It should not have surprised you since one can rarely see any products made in the USA anymore, is it not?  I rest my case!

Have a safe, happy and blessed Labor Day!! May God bless all of us and let us all pray for world peace!!

In 2009, Red Envelope Day was the largest citizen demonstration since the Vietnam Conflict.
We voiced our concern to about a vehemently Pro-Abortion White House then…
And in 2013, our unified voice MUST make Red Envelope Day a bigger, better,
and even more effective Declaration for Life.
The outcome of this election was difficult… and that is all the more reason for your voice to be heard. Right now, you can send your voice directly to Washington D.C., deep into the Halls of Congress, beyond the marble columns of the Supreme Court, and into the heart of the Oval Office.Send Red Envelope Day Cards here!

January 22, 2013 is the 40th anniversary of Roe v. Wade. Four decades of innocents killing. Four decades of tolerating murder. Four decades of shame upon our nation. That is why we are calling upon you to help us make January 22, 2013Red Envelope Day 2013
The Largest Outcry Against Abortion America Has Ever Heard.
Think of it. Four decades of abortion treated as just any another contraceptive. And through four decades of Democrat and Republican Administrations and Congressional control, the killing has continued.
In 2009, millions of empty red envelopes were delivered directly to the White House – each symbolizing a life not lived, each sending an undeniable message of truth and life.
Now, in 2012 with an even more extraordinary delivery system it couldn’t be easier to make your Pro-Life voice heard. Every single Red Envelope Day Envelope you send for delivery on January 22, 2013 memorializes one child’s life left empty by the scourge of abortion. Those Red Envelope Day Envelopes will be a vivid reminder that you will not tolerate abortion on demand in America.
Don’t miss this urgent call to send 1.2 million Red Envelope Day Envelopes–
– one empty envelope for every child aborted in America every year!
And not only will decision-makers in Washington hear your voice through millions of Red Envelope Day Envelopes, but the success of Red Envelope Day 2013 will also raise up to one million dollars for Pro-Life Organizations who are on the front lines of this life-saving battle. This gives you the double opportunity to have your voice heard and to support the very best Pro-Life warriors in America.

And along the way, you can remind Supreme Court Justice John Roberts and all the Justices that their decisions have life and death consequences.
