Praise Lord for the blessings. I'm satisfied, I'm contented and that's more than enough. But Christy and Zachery are both down with severe fever and cough Help them Lord, give them strength. Thank you Father, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
I'm going to the church for morning service. Will be visiting the orphanage and have to do some planning of church's charity event to help the victims of the Sichuan earthquake. Everyday, I see and hear about the touching yet heart wrenching stories. We are the fortunate ones, and we ought to help them with all we can.
Just like yesterday, it reported that a mother used her body to protect her 3 month old daughter from the collapsed wall by kneeling down and sheltering the little girl. She couldn't breathe, she left the world earlier than she should. They found this phone beside her body, stating something like.. "Daughter, if you manage to live on, remember that mommy always love you". Roughly this message. (My Mandarin suck, what more do you expect?) It was indeed touching, and Mal's mom was moved to tears.
Mothers are the greatest. They sacrifices without asking anything in return, they rather suffer themselves then to watch their child suffer. May God have mercy on each soul and bless all the other victims and their family. It's been almost a week, chances are slim, but I believe there are still chances of survival if they persevere on. Lord, bless them once again.
