God's will

"This, then, is how you should pray: 'Our Father in Heaven, hallowed be Your name, Your Kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven'" (Matthew 6:9-10).

Our burdens sometimes seem so overwhelming and we think that we are unable to bear. Jesus knew his destiny on the cross and accepted the path he had to take. Should we do any less ? It seems easy to say, but what ever each of us face in our daily lives, we know the weight that we bear. God also knows and has promised that we will not face more then we can bear.

When it seems darkest, we need to give thanks for without the darkness, we cannot appreciate the light and the blessings that God gives us. So in that darkest moment, give thanks for the trials and the weight placed upon you so that you can recognize the light and blessings given to you.

Of thoughts and dreams

Sometimes watching all the talent shows like American Idol, Americas Got Talent and so forth, I do wonder do we strive to gain acceptance and fame from everyone or are we happy to be who we were made to be ?
I sure God had a plan for each and every one of us from the beginning and we need to figure this out. But sometimes the plan is not clear for us and we go every where to find it. Is this the way we should go. Is this part of the plan ? Some of us are made to be famous and to use the fame to do God's work. Some of us need to play the support role in the background. But how do we find out which role are we ?


This is a challenging question that we all need to find our own answer. But we should remember that we should give thanks for the gifts that we have been given and ensure that we use them to our fullest ability. For if we do not, then we are not fulfilling the plan that has been laid for us.

Earthquake in Indonesia

Todays news of the earthquake in Indonesia reminds us how fragile our earth is and how our life is not our own. Everything is in Gods plan. An earthquake is neither good or evil . It is just an event to shake us from our complacentcy and to remind us that we do not control everything in our lives.

In today's Daily Wisdom reading which I get in the mail, it has an appropriate message in Not To Give Up. No matter what the circumstances are, the trials and tribulations, there is a reason for this. God knows our limits and in his greater plan has plotted our path for us. So let us renew our faith and work daily to renew our relationship with God and have faith in his plans for us.

Ode to my Lord - EASTER RESURRECTION

On this Easter Day 

I remember the sacrifice of our Lord

Who sent his one and only son

Jesus Christ to Earth

To be crucified

And risen up again

By his grace 

To provide salvation for you and me

On this Easter day 

I renew my pledge 

And seek God's help and guidance

To be inspired and have the knowledge

To grow this blog 

To spread his love

To share his grace

Across the land

As Christ has risen

I dedicate the resurrection of this blog to him

Amen

Escape from Haiti

We just learned that our cousin and his family has been air lifted out from Haiti and is now safe out from the disaster area. Thank God.



God has been gracious and kind to spare our family from this disaster but we still take the time to remember the families still in Haiti and the angels God has sent to help them. With miracles still happening in Haiti with another survivor found today, we pray that the food and water as well as all the help that Haiti needs to heal her self will be quickly distributed.


Amen

Our thoughts and our prayers go out to those who have been affected and may the grace of God cover them

May he send his angels to comfort and help those who are in need.

Amen.

Another year gone ...what have you done ?

Words from a familiar song as the first day of the new decade is over. It bears a thought of what we have achieved over the last year. Did we spare a thought for the blessings we received through out the year ?

We may need to take a look back to recall the blessings that were provided for us, from the small ones to the enormous blessings that changed our lives.

Think back and give thanks, so that we can strengthened and move on and make this a GREAT year.
