I Was There…

I was there on the day you were born,
And I gave you special gifts to last a lifetime.

I touched you, made you smile, helped you grow
And watched you take your first steps.

I even reassured you that everything would be okay
When you lost your first tooth.

I saw you off on your first day of school
And I lingered by your side the whole day.

I was there to console you everytime you cried,
And I held you everytime you fell and scraped your knees.

I was there everyday all through the years,
And I always strived to give you direction.

I helped you every step of the way into adulthood,
Bringing you daily gifts of inspiration, hope and love

And I gave you trials so you could grow
Into the warm and beautiful person you are…
But I never abandoned you to them.

I’ve never, not for a single second
Turned my back on you when you needed me---
Even when you thought that you didn’t need me.

I heard you everytime you spoke and I answered every prayer---
Though sometimes, for your best interest,
I didn’t answer them the way you hoped I would.

I’m still with you through your joys, your hope, your tears, your dreams…
Through the bad days, the good days---through everyday of your life.

And I will be there in the end to give you comfort and to see you safely home
Where you’ll sit beside me in all the glory of heaven.

---Love God

I hope you'll remember today that God is there, giving you His love and care. He's lending you His strength, sending many blessings your way, and giving you the gift of a bright new day.

A Recent Miracle In Egypt

A Muslim man in Egypt killed his wife because she was reading the Bible and then buried her with their infant baby and an 8-year old daughter. The girls were buried alive! He then reported to the police that an uncle killed the kids. 15 days later, another family member died. When they went to bury him,they found the 2 little girls under the sand - ALIVE! The country is outraged over the incident, and the man will be executed. The older girl was asked how she had survived and she says:- "A man wearing shiny white clothes, with bleeding wounds in his hands, came every day to feed us. He woke up my mom so she could nurse my sister," she said. She was interviewed on Egyptian national TV, by availed Muslim woman news anchor. She said on public TV, "This was none other than Jesus, because nobody else does things like this!" Jesus would do this, but the wounds mean He really was crucified, and it's clear also that He is alive! But, it's also clear that the chi

The Ant And The Contact Lens: a true story

Image
Brenda was almost halfway to the top of the tremendous granite cliff. She was standing on a ledge where she was taking a breather during this, her first rock climb. As she rested there, the safety rope snapped against her eye and knocked out her contact lens . 'Great', she thought. 'Here I am on a rock ledge, hundreds of feet from the bottom and hundreds of feet to the top of this cliff, and now my sight is blurry.' She looked and looked, hoping that somehow it had landed on the ledge. But it just wasn't there. She felt the panic rising in her, so she began praying.. She prayed for calm, and she prayed that she may find her contact lens. When she got to the top, a friend examined her eye and her clothing for the lens, but it was not to be found. Although she was calm now that she was at the top, she was saddened because she could not clearly see across the range of mountains. She thought of the bible verse 'The eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whol

The Power Of Prayer

Image
My hubby requested to our pastor that he would like to preach in our church before we leave Texas for the Philippines. So my hubby got to preach Wednesday night. His message was about PRAYER. Before he started his message, he told the congregation how the good Lord has answered our prayers. For many months, we've been praying to the good Lord that we can sell our house and give us the means so we can go back to the Philippines. My hubby even set a goal that he would like to go to the Philippines by the end of this year. I told him it's impossible because it's not easy to sell a house these days. It was already October and still we didn't have a buyer. But then, we kept on praying and believing that God will answer our prayers in His time and He did. God sent us a buyer of our house on the 1st week of November. Now we're getting ready to go back to the Philippines. It's really amazing how the good Lord answers prayers. If you pray, believe that you will receive i
