A Letter to My Son.

Your daddy and I left our house to visit Tito Jerahmeel before he goes to Japan the next day. We didn't bring you with us for the reason that we'll go straight ahead to church to prepare for the camp's fundraising.
In fact, we left the church late at night. Your daddy and I were exhausted but Jesus truly sustained us, son. We arrived home and you were sleeping soundly with Nanay Monet. We kissed and cuddled you carefully that we didn't want to wake you up. You seemed so peaceful son. I envy you! :)

Church day! Your daddy and I left the house early in the morning to attend the 1st worship service. We needed to prepare for the fundraising after the service. 
And while I was selling books outside the church, with my two big eyes, I saw you with Nanay Monet and Ate Tina! Oh what a joy! You three looked great! Then I hurriedly embraced you and carried you! Until the rest of our church mates willingly took care of you while Mama was busy selling.


My dearest son Asher David,

          I really wanted to say SORRY for the time your daddy and I missed over the weekend. I felt incomplete knowing I didn't spend most of my time with you on Saturday. I know you're just a baby (and you will always be MY baby!) assuming that everything's fine with you, that you can't understand our situation yet because you're just a baby. But as your mother, I can deeply sense our lack of time with you these past weeks. I am sorry anak.

         By the time you are accountable with all these emotions, responses, I want you to know that as early as now, I recognize what you feel son. It may not be clear yet though, but as your mother, I can sense it.  And I just want to say I am sorry and I really hope and pray that we can make it up to you. So we can make bawi. That we can also bring you with us on weekends in church. It is tiring son. But by the grace and power of Jesus, we are sustained and renewed daily. 

        Many are looking forward for you to play drums and sing songs for Jesus! and I want you to know that your daddy and I are your number one fan! :)


     Love, 
Mama

Lessons from the Lord’s Prayer

When Jesus taught His disciples the Lord’s Prayer, he was not giving them a prayer to memorize and recite every time they prayed.   He was giving them a model for their own prayers.   As you study the model prayer that Jesus gave, compare it with the prayers you offer to God.   What can you learn from the way Jesus prayed that can help you to be more effective in your own praying? (I am sharing material from my devotional book The Experience Day-by-Day with God by Henry and Richard Blackaby) God bless as you read.... Our Father This is how you should pray: “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name.” -Matthew 6:9            Everyone wants to be loved.   God designed the family to be a source of love and encouragement.   If you have a family that loves you and that is in your corner, you can take on life with confidence.   But what is that is not your experience? What if, to you, family means cr...

Fast Delivery!

    photo at debragrayelliott.blogspot.com HATE LATE? This slogan of an ad must be familiar to you. You might not be patient to wait for something to fill in your stomach. How about in the concept of PRAYING? Do you pray and always wanting to be answered immediately? or you still pray even if there's no answer yet? They say when you pray, God will only respond in 3 ways: YES, NO, and WAIT. HATE LATE when it comes to prayer? God has never been late in answering our prayers. He wants us to WAIT for He will answer in His own terms, in His beautiful and perfect time. What are you thankful for? "I thank God for His perfect delivery in my prayer!" Let me share you my story... C ouple of weeks ago, I was sending resume to different media companies. I am still employed up to this time, but I still dream that one day, I could work in a media company. As you know, I am an English teacher for Korean students. I am capable of teaching but I am not a licensed tea...

IKAW BA SI GALING?

Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God. -Matthew 19:17 A person who is a good person is an individual of lofty ideals, noble purposes, strong character, reliable conduct and trustworthy integrity. The only one who truly embodies all of those characteristics is Jesus Christ. We come to understand the word goodness as we it alongside the word righteousness. Someone has said that justice is what God gives to us that we deserve. Goodness goes beyond that and is that which God gives us beyond what we deserve. The great characteristic of goodness as it is found in relationship with righteousness is generosity. It is what a person gets that isn’t deserved. It is what God gives to a person that could never be earned. Goodness in its relationship to righteousness teaches us about generosity. You don’t have to be rich to be generous. But what do you do with what you have? We need to take a good long look at our lives and ask God how our attitudes have been to the ...
