I was on my way to work this morning when I got a call from my very good friend, Corry, who has been like a second mom to me. She asked me if I was okay. I was kinda lost for a while and then she said she read or heard a news that the Philippines was hit by a strong earthquake. I was surprised because I didn't hear that from the news and I didn't find that in the newspapers either. Hmm... I'm quite sure I didn't feel anything. In other words, I didn't know there was an earthquake here had I not received a call from Corry and checked it on the internet. Thank God there were no casualties. Later on, I've read that it measured 6.8 on the Richter scale. It rocked the northern part of the Philippines and the southern part of Taiwan. Lord, thank you for sparing us. Another dear blogger friend of mine, Enid, emailed me weeks ago also asking if I was okay because she heard that China was struck by a strong earthquake too and she thought I was from there. Thank God I wasn't.
I feel truly blessed to have friends (even those I haven't personally met yet) who cared sincerely. God bless their good hearts. Thank you for your concern and prayers.

Yes, friends are like glittering stars in the darkness of the night. They illuminate our way towards the dawn of deliverance. Thanks for the post. God bless you and your loved ones always my friend.
Glad to know you are ok. Yes, friends are a blessing!
P/s: Sorry to hear you didn't take in the pup. Dogs are a joy to have, plus all the frustrations too :-) You are right not to take it if you didn't feel you have the time for it.
friends cheer us up when we are down, Happy when we are happy, sad when we are sad. If it's the other way, I tell you..Beware..

I am thankful for the faithful friends I have in life. It's not the numbers that matter but the quality of friendships.
