thankful..

This day we started in a happy note because of a major excitement we received today. Dave had an unexpected phone call from Singapore saying they have already arranged for him to go to India and be the main speaker during nightly and day sessions of their youth camp there. Before they even informed him of this good news, his visa has been taken cared of, all expenses paid, round trip ticket from phil. - singapore, from Singapore to india and of all surprises, five star hotel accomodations. I know he has long been praying that somehow God would open opportunities for him to be able to travel and minister to countries in Asia.... but not this soon! Surely God is already at work with regards to this heavy burden burning within him to work with the youths in these countries........ it is shaping and starting to be actually materialized.

as i listened to my boy, disclosing how excited he is, i too feel a number of emotions, i just can`t help thinking how amazing our God is. Biro mo, kung kami ang gagastos, siguro kulang kulang a hundred thousand ang kakailanganin. India is not in his iterinary this year, i know he`s going back to Malaysia on December, but this India thing is sooner than that because that is to be on September, a month ago from now. When God says GO, then go that is!!

Even in this sin cursed world that we are in, God`s love abound. And today I choose to be thankful.

- i am thankful that our God is faithful, never leaving us.

- i am thankful for His grace that gets me through each day.

- i am thankful for good health and sound mind.

- i am thankful that He is bigger than any temptations, trials and hardships that we face in our everyday lives.

- i am thankful for a loving husband that loves me unconditionally.

- i am thankful for the children He has given me, and for keeping them in His will, keeping them under the protection of His precious blood.

- i am thankful for His church that He has entrusted us to lead, and the loving fellowship of the brethren.

- i am thankful for another day to breath, live, to serve God and others.

- i am thankful for the promises of God that gives hope, joy and peace that passes all understanding.

- thankful for my family (pattsclan) and its heritage that we are keeping and pass on to our children and this family`s generation to come.

Thank you Jesus!!
