Magnificent Miracle for You and Me

 Dear Survivor,

Blissful marriage be yours now and forevermore

Do you remember this story of an ambivalent occasion, when you were with your eldest sister who you fondly call as “Mother Hen", a sparkling gem to all of her siblings?

Let your prayers be delivered

You were enroute to the wedding of your niece on February 22, 2020. She was one of the sponsors of the wedding. 

Lift up to HIM your burdens

You called it “ambivalent”  because weddings should be a celebration.

 

How bountiful are HIS blessings

But your eldest sister was carrying a heavy load in her heart due to the fact that one of her sons was in the hospital with a delicate sickness. 

Be at peace with HIS promises

Her son said to her, "Mama, I don't want to die."

The fragrance of HIS creations are like incense to the soul

At the church, your eldest sister was crying while sharing about the situation of your nephew with her friends. You tried to avoid seeing her cry.

HE will never forsake you

On your part, you would usually attend Sunday Service at PICC at "The Feast"  So, one Sunday, you went to the table where you could ask for a prayer request for the healing of your nephew. You approached the lady in charge of the prayer station. She asked you to write on a piece of paper your nephew's name and you told her the situation. 

Forever our gratefulness to HIM

She was really gifted in saying her prayer and during the entire conversation with the Almighty God, tears continuously poured from your eyes! Even as you recall that incident, tears still run from your eyes. After the prayer, you thanked her and went inside the Service Hall.  

How wonderful YOU are to everyone

And, you know, Viczi, today your dearest nephew has regained his health, and as a family you have always been in awe and grateful to a "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious Almighty God!"

Godel Chocolate: A Philippine Brand

 

Godel is a trademark of JCG Marketing Group, Inc. which is  located at KM 19 East Service Road, Brgy. San Martin de Porres Paranaque City,Philippines. I and fellow on line media had an invitation to tour in July 6, 2021 Godel Chocolate Factory thru Dr Ver Garcia (Phd) as members of Bloggers Association of the Philippines. Ms. Marie of Godel Chocolate and their staff welcomed us warmly upon arrival at the site. A brief orientation about safety and health protocol was conducted.

Head and shoe covers were handed out before ushering us to the main factory. Ascending the staircase the chocolate fragrance filled the air triggering a sweet feeling in me. Traditional Tsokolate made of Tablea was offered before beginning the proper tour. The tablea drink perks up the start of the viewing of the entire process of production of cacao bean to the finished choco bar.

South Cotabato Organic fermented cacao beans are manually sorted out to separate the good cacao that is to be used, then it passes through different equipment and technology such as roasting, cracking, winnowing in the feeding machine, refining, conching, colloid mill, nut butter grinder, refiner, ball mill melanger, tempering, dosing moulding, cooling in the chiller, retarder proofer, cooling tunnel, demoulding then finally to packing. Which by the way, all these line of equipment for chocolate makers from sorting to packaging are all available for sale at Godel Solutions.

After the very infomative, interesting and enjoyable viewing of  bean-to-Bar Chocolate production, comes the much awaited part of all, unboxing and tasting of the finished products of Godel Chocolate: 

Hot Chocolate Bomb with Marshmallows- pouring the hot water in the egg shaped choco emerges a handful of white marshmallows.

70% Chocolate Bar

50% Chocolate Bar

50% Chocolate Bar

Cacao Tea 

Salted Caramel Chocolate

Chocolate with whole almonds

Chocolate with coco jam filling-which to me is the "star" of the buffet choco tasting, it really pleasured my taste buds and healthy eating diet.

A Happy Chocolatey Day Everyone!
