knowing he has been reconciled with his daughter.
knowing that he'll be in heaven when he goes home.
that's the most comforting.
he's back in hospital again.
for passing out black blood in his motion.
he doesn't want to sign the papers.
to undergo a procedure to check what's wrong.
maybe he's scared.

a fruit of the spirit is self-control.
knowing our limits.
knowing when enough is enough.
thank God for friends who know your stand.
and help you stick with your stand and not fall into peer pressure.
always helps to have one with the same conviction as you.
in a place where it's easy to go along with the crowd.

celebrating birthdays.

i need more time with You Lord.
