Looking at 2 books at the moment.
1. Her sister's Keeper
About a younger sister conceived to save the elder sister with leukemia
2. The diving Bell and the butterfly
A 43 year old french editor who wrote the book after he was permanantly paralyzed communicating by blinking his left eye.
You wake up every morning saying your thanks and then wondering why are you talking about your miniute problem with Him. Being human, our miniute problem is still a 'big' problem to us. But you know deep down, you are blessed and you then say a prayer for all those who are in need of Him.

Why I was absent the last month.
The last 5 weeks has been a busy busy time with so much to squeeze in to so 'short' hours(I won't say few hours as I find it lengthy to explain to others why a retiree has fewer hours than others).
As Au started 4th semester last week, it involves even more movement and less manpower to help in the home chores.
Ed has been so tired over his last posting and we had been making weekly family trips to Seremban to give him moral, spiritual and physical support.
The new treadmill came in last Saturday and I couldn't wait to go back to my walking regime again. That means another hour needed.
With Sunday's worshipping, (and we have been attending FGA, ACTS Summit and ACTS Nilai), Sunday is also shortened by half a day.
But am I complaining? NO, I am definitely not. I never truly understood what it meant to have the ability to do things until now. What it meant to say
'Iam glad I am breathing today so that I can do the endless things on my to-do list.
I am glad I have the emotional and physical health to do all the chores of the home.
It is wonderful to hear the snores of the guy next to me though it mean I can sleep the night thro.
My muscles are aching but I am thankful my chidren are near enough and appreciative enough for me to cook for them.
I feel so blessed that I can afford to bring things to the home.
I don't get all worked up when the neighbour dirties my floor with his jet washing and painting cuz I am glad I have the strength and has a washing machine to help me.'
And much much more.
I also can't help smiling when a paster said he can't explain why some people are more blessed than others. I now know what he said was right. While he is blessed all through, I know now I definitely need to go into the house of the Lord and proclaim before I am blessed! : )
I need to declare He works in mysterious ways and I know now there is no need to question why.I am taking baby steps in so many things but I am learning. Blessings comes in so many ways and channels and they also includes friends like KP, G, JL who feels I am important enough to share their life decisions, TW, AZ and PW who said the right words to bring the spirits high when I am low. And the best part is that all things was only possible through His grace.
