Masarap, Masustansya at Kayang-kaya

Chinese-Style Pinadapang Magnolia Chicken sa Dahon ng Kalamansi is a mouthful name for a recipe that is simple and easy-to-make. Chinese-style Pinadapang Magnolia Chicken sa Dahon ng Kalamansi is a personal rendition of Filipino-dish Pinaupong manok with a twist - chinese style.

What I like most about SMPC products like Magnolia Chicken is that it is guaranteed clean, safe, and fresh. Plus, SMPC products also have the right and proper labels like Manufacturing date and Best Before date. Making dishes are fun and healthy with SMPC!

 

Chinese-Style Pinadapang Magnolia Chicken sa Dahon ng Kalamansi is real easy to make. You can even personalize the dish by adding up more ingredients that you could put inside the cavity of the chicken before steaming. The calamansi leaves give this dish the citrusy aroma.

Scrumptious.

The Promise of Resurrection

He Will Call 

(Job 14:13-15)

1. Life, like a mist, appears for just a day,

Then disappears tomorrow.

All that we are can quickly fade away,

Replaced with tears and sorrow.

If a man should die, can he live again?

Hear the promise God has made:

He will call; The dead will answer.

They shall live at his command.

For he will have a longing

For the work of his own hand.

So have faith, and do not wonder,

For our God can make us stand.

And we shall live forever,

As the work of his own hand.

2. Friends of our God, though they may pass away,

Will never be forsaken.

All those asleep who in God’s mem’ry stay,

From death he will awaken.

Then we’ll come to see all that life can be:

Paradise eternally.

He will call; The dead will answer.

They shall live at his command.

For he will have a longing

For the work of his own hand.

So have faith, and do not wonder,

For our God can make us stand.

And we shall live forever,

As the work of his own hand.
