" Today is the first day of the rest of your life." If my glucose (sugar) count did not rise the other day (452), I could not understand this beautiful poster I saw today. Yup, I forgot to test my glucose (sugar) for the past several months. I forgot that my body is intimately connected to the social, mental, spiritual aspect of my life. If Aida, my wife didn't insist to test it that day ....well it will be all over. Truly you speak in many different ways my friend. I am so grateful.
My friend, I come to you today to ask you to take off my old heavy garments of despair and heaviness. Make me new today. Give me that garment of praise so that I can be a display of Your glory and splendour. Make me an instrument of Your peace and love that they may know You through me. May I decrease so You may increase in me.
My friend, you gave us seeds to plant in our hearts . Seeds if we nourish and help grow would strenghten our faith and trust in you. Seeds we usually reject unknowing you are always close to help. That You are in the shadow, keeping watch over His own. You allow trouble to pursue us, as though You don't care, so we may be brought to the end of ourselves until we discover the treasure of darkness and the immeasurable wealth of tribulation. It maybe that I will only see You once the ordeal is nearly passed, but we must dare to believe that You never leave us alone in our trial. Although your presence is veiled...... the secret of your deeper love is shown.

Be strong, He has not failed you
In all the past,
And will He go and leave you
To sink at last?
No, He said He will hide you
Beneath His wing;
And sweetly there in safety
You then may sing.

It only goes to show that He has other plans for you...and ending it is not in the list. hehehe.
I love you dad and sometimes I dream of the time when I was still your little girl waiting for your car to come in the driveway...I know you bought something for me...you always do.
I hope now, in my own little way, I could repay all the love and joy you and Ma brought to my life. =)
Mwah!

Hello my friend Norie,
I admire your words:
..'Be strong, He has not failed you
In all the past,
And will He go and leave you
To sink at last?..'
Actually He neither leaves anybody to sink or fails any body because we are all His children.
You are a noble soul my friend. you are amongst the chosen few.
God bless.
Thanks surjit my brother and friend. Sometimes we have to run away...not just to create distance.....but to see who cares enough to run behind and pull you back... Thanks for your very encouraging words. May God bless you and your family always.
