A MISSED CALL IS:
- when you are in the middle of something and so you missed the call
- when you save on your cellphone load …”don’t get that call, a missed call means I am on my way.”
- when you want to send your number or save a number from someone, a missed call makes it easier
- when you simply want to connect and let them know you are just around, make them feel you care and miss them (or as we simply put it in the vernacular, “paramdam.”)
As a father, I usually lead the prayer most especially before meals. Sometimes I also let my children lead so they will learn the habit of giving thanks to God and remember to pray before they take their meals wherever they may be, whether in school with friends, or in their grandparents’ house or in restaurants.
One day when my kids got home from school, tired and exhausted, my wife cooked for them their favorite dish. I called them to prepare for dinner, washed their hands and set the table.
When I was about to pray, I thought of letting my youngest daughter to lead instead. She took a deep breath covering her face with her tiny hands and started to pray.
It was a short prayer, fast and almost like a whisper, we barely heard it. It sounded just like a buzz of a bee that passed-by. I teased her and asked, “Do you think Jesus heard you?” and then we all laughed. Her sister teased her even more when she said, “para ka lang nag-missed call kay Lord, ha? (it was just like you gave our Lord a missed call). And we laughed all the more.
God listens to all our prayers. Whether it seems just like a “missed call,” He looks at the heart and He answers all our prayers according to His will.
Don’t forget to give him a call today. It’s TOLL FREE, anyway.
Matthew 14:18 Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves.

Bible Reading Matthew 14:13-21
13When Jesus heard what had happened, he withdrew by boat privately to a solitary place. Hearing of this, the crowds followed him on foot from the towns. 14When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them and healed their sick.
15As evening approached, the disciples came to him and said, "This is a remote place, and it's already getting late. Send the crowds away, so they can go to the villages and buy themselves some food."
16Jesus replied, "They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat."
17"We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish," they answered.
18"Bring them here to me," he said. 19And he directed the people to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people. 20They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over. 21The number of those who ate was about five thousand men, besides women and children.
Meaning: Jesus knows how to give thanks to His Father
Character of Jesus: Jesus is prayerful and always remembers to thank his Father
HAHA :D

Hi Ezar .. this is a cul site .. sharing the good news of the LORD is always a thumbs-up .. I like that you educate your kids to “pray” regardless of the location .. few people I see doing this in restaurants and each time I see a family praying, it does put a smile on my face .. I am thankful to the ALMIGHTY my bestfriend (LotLot) married a guy like YOU .. I admire the choices she made in her life .. H A D
ReplyDeletePerhaps a heartfelt prayer to God is when we are most quiet having nothing more to say or complain about and start listening to what He will say to us .. 'de ba?
