It’s not an easy thing for me (naturally) to give thanks on any of the hard days. \"\"<\/p>\n

It’s been a long day from 5.30 am this morning, with meal only abt 1 pm.<\/p>\n

Yet, was reminded yesterday \"\", to give thanks … to be grateful \"\"<\/p>\n

And there’re many things I could be grateful for:<\/p>\n

1. Last nite had a wonderful praying and singing time with my dear lil’ lady \"\". It’s wonderful. Haven’t done so for quite some times. And last nite my heart just burst out with songs n thanksgivings to the Lord. For indeed, He’s marvelous and wonderful. In this chaotic and confusing world, He’s a sure anchor and solid rock.<\/p>\n

2. The move back to our home for mum, including the new care-giver (replacing the\u00a0previous very expensive care-giver). With the move back, there’re more new things we can look forward to. And hope will bring good to mum’s recovery as well.<\/p>\n

3. This morning as I brought her to physiotherapy in RKZ hospital, really thank God for ai CH that drove us there and continued to be there for moral support with her funny remarks. And later i knew she had genuine concern and care for mum. Thank God for such friend. And tomorrow hopefully we all can join the Christmas service. Furthermore, as answer to my prayer, the person who did the phsio was good as well. We spent 2 hours there instead the usual 1 hour therapy. The Lord really look after all these well for sure.<\/p>\n

4. This afternoon meeting was proven to bring some consolation to our family also. As unexpectedly i received last-minute call (mysteriously prompted to make the first phone call yesterday), which later brought in some amount of money. Unexpected…and kind consolation as Christmas surprise. \"\"<\/p>\n

There are still plenty things concern me. And long list of prayer needs to be raised up to the Lord. Not little questions I have…and wondering whether I have enough strength to persevere in this walk. Only keep me Lord Jesus. Align me always with You.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
