Valentine's day Memories

Jeff
It’s seven days to go and it’s Valentine’s Day again. Valentine’s Day brings rich memories to me – the day I announced to my friends in church my relationship with my girlfriend, Jennie, who is now my wife. It was twelve years ago (this Valentine’s day), February 14, 2008 and I remember so well, we attended a concert of Ron Kenoly and we were with our peers in church.

Since then, I have always tried my best to make Valentine’s Day exciting for my wife by always coming up with surprises. Of course, there have been times when I have not been successful, but most of the time, my wife liked what I did for her.

This afternoon, I went to a blogger's event organized by Nomnonclub.com and Red Ribbon where they launched their special Valentine's Day Cake, Roses and Kisses. Together with other bloggers, we got a preview of their cake which can now be ordered (February 1-9, 2010). Orders made during this period can have their cakes personalized, meaning, the name of the recipient and the giver can be placed (up to 14 characters). The cake ordered will be available on February 12-14, 2010.

The Ability to Produce Wealth

Jeff
In a previous blog entry I mentioned how this year’s start has been a good one in terms of online opportunities. Income has been more steady online and we have paid off all our debts within the two years that we have been earning from blogging.



It took us that long, almost two years, because that’s how deep we were in debt. But, the beginning of 2010 is a complete turn around. As debts have been paid off since the third quarter of last year, we have began to aggressively save money. There are a few things that we are saving for and the most important of all is our son’s educational expenses for the next school year. He will be finishing his pre-school level by March and will be moving on to the reading program of the School of Tomorrow system (we are homeschooling him, by the way).



The other things are a secret major purchase that we are praying for (you’ll know it when it happens) and other things that my wife and I like. I personally want to make a visit to a good hardware store similar to Baldwin hardware and invest on some electric tools that will make woodworking easier for me.

But, even as we experience this pouring out of blessings we do not forget that it is God who gives us the ability to produce wealth (Deuteronomy 8:18) so we are putting our hope in Him and not on anything He is using to bless us. To Him be the glory!
