The effects of life

I never realised the effects of the tsunami when I went to Phuket, the very place where the tsunami hit just 2 months ago.. Watching tsunami the aftermath on HBO and my heart broke.. I would never be able to understand the fears and the devastating hope that they have if they lose their family.. Lord, bless the people who helped, bless them Lord... In this movie, its real, its not the fictional movies, where they will definitely save the people at the end of it. Its different from the movies, it will not end with a happy ending, only a story of how they will remain strong and courageous to move on in life. Life is the truth like that... We need to know that life carries on, we need to treasure the people around. We need to...

Amen...

Spring Cleaning my home

Today I had one day of leave, think I was too ambitious, wanted to do lots of things.. Sigh kind of regretted it. Cos Darling got to do lots of things.. And he got very upset, cos he had lots of things to clear too.. But I understood one thing from here, that I am ready to settle down with him, no matter how much he is upset with me, he still loves me and helps me with everything. He will never walk out of me.. Lots of bills to settle and lots of things to do, but somehow, with him around and after the sermon on tentmakers, I feel very safe and secured. I had a good talk with my family today too, about future plans, I think its wonderful... But tired, tomorrow is a long day at work too, wanna settle all my work and get ready pipe line for January.

Lots of things on my mind, need to work hard...

May God bless my home.

Amen

Old Folks Home

Today I had an experience of a life time... Its been a long time since I last felt this way.
I remember when I was younger and attended all the mission events i told myself that when I grow up I
will make a difference to the people around me. I saw the old folks today... and it makes me feel so sad, that
these people have no body to care for them, that their loved ones actually placed them there to just spend their entire
old age there being lonely.. What do they need money for? They need love, and I do not know how to explain to them about
love in their dialect.. How do you do that? Can there be more people to love and care, can these people's children come back and love them??

I pray that God will use me greatly to minister to these people around me, that I can make a difference, I do not know how,
but Lord guide me... teach me... help me to guide them to know you, that they will not be empty...

Amen
