She Won’t Stop Doing Good
July 6, 2008
On my first job when I worked in a retail store, they had overstock during Christmas. My co-worker let me purchase some items as low as fifty cents. It was perfect because I couldn’t afford to buy nice things for my cousins and relatives with the kind of money I was making.
I bought a lot, but still there was more left. Besides, I didn’t know if my teen cousins would like the things I picked out. So, I called my aunt and she came to the store right away. My co-worker wouldn’t let her enter the room and my aunt insisted on talking to her, herself. My aunt explained that she knows many families she can help if she is allowed to purchase the items. I was surprise when my co-worker agreed with a smile.
As we reached home, a four year old boy who lived across street came over. He had no socks and no jacket on in freezing weather. My aunt pulled out a new pair of socks and put a new jacket on him that she just bought from the retail store. She gave him the full package of socks and said, “Richard, I don’t want to see you without the socks and jacket on when you are playing outside.” By this time, these things were common to see in this home. Moreover, children loved hanging out in my aunt’s house. Sometimes, she had to ask them to go home and she would say, “Go home, you don’t live here.”
If all this was not enough, one day we received a call from the neighbors’ house. Richard’s mother stated that she had to take her husband to the hospital because he had a minor stroke. So she left her three children for my aunt to babysit. My aunt cooked some food and decided to leave it at their house before they returned home. When we entered their house it seemed as if it had never been cleaned. There was garbage everywhere! There was an open loaf of bread on the floor and cat litter next to it.
God’s Love
Love is an expression of God that shows grace and mercy. God’s love transcended through his son, and the love we share is a reflection of our relationship to God and the ones we love.
We have all heard of Eros and Agape type of love. Each one is closely observed throughout our society. God shows grace and mercy, and therefore, we are to share the same to the ones we love. God is merciful because it is totally underserved and graceful because it is freely given. Love is the highest creative force in all relationships. Elizabeth Browning said, “Love, I say, is the energy of life!” Read more »
When I Think About You, Lord
November 14, 2005
When out of nowhere you send so much happiness in my way, it brings tears of joy.
When I am so happy and have no words to express; I only want to praise you.
When you made rainbows in the entire place just to remind me of your promises. August 2005
When you get every person to call me on the same matter what I prayed.
When you give me revelations in Bible and bring the word alive to me.
When you just use anyone to send the message to me.
When you smile and watch the way I act and I am out of control, it must take a lot to get my attention. You still never give up.
When you teach me patience and how to pray with faith.
When you make everything work out just because I went to you first and prayed.
When you remind me of love and how to love everyone; you died on the cross to pay for everyone’s sins.
You are great and I am so glad I am not alone.
