Today is the 8th month old of our baby. How time flies so fast and before I know it he'll be one year old four months from now. Thank you so much Lord for hearing our prayer. We are forever grateful to you. Every time I look at our baby specially when he's sound asleep, I'm still accepting the truth that we really indeed have now our most awaited baby. Thank you so much Lord!..... Thank you Mama Mary!!!
Our Daily Bread for yesterday Mat.20:20-28 has enlightened me. It says, "No one wants to be weak, so we find ways to appear strong. Some of us use the force of our emotions to manipulate people. Others use the force of personality to control people, and some use intellect to intimidate. Although these create an illusion of strength, they are signs of weakness. When we are truly strong, we have the courage to admit our limitations and to acknowledge our dependence on God./This is a hard truth. I prefer the illusion of strength to the reality of weakness. But God wants us to realized that true strength comes when we stop trying to control people and start serving them instead." - Julie Ackerman Link...... Well, this is hard to do but I believe this to be indeed a reality in life.
For today, Mark 7:9-13 says "Jesus rebuked their common practice of dedicating their material possessions to God rather than using their assets to provide for their parents. Their tradition had violated the commandment to honor their father and their mother." It's just now that I realized that it's specifically said in the Bible we are to provide our aging parents.
Providing for our parents' needs
With loving words and selfless deeds
Is what the Lord expects of those
Who try to follow where He leads - Sper
I thank you Lord for giving me the wisdom of your teachings.
