the cleaner aunty told me that her children are christians. and they have been asking her to go to church. she said she might go to church after she retires from the job. i hope she goes. and i pray that Lord, you'll keep her healthy.
she said to her that crises brings God so much closer.......
that even with the advances in technology, we still have no control over our lives.
the remedy to tiredness is to start counting one's blessings.
then one will find that there's much more to be thankful about.

help me to trust.
