The Life as it is now
Yes
I am thankful to God in many ways for His gift of this life. I am thankful to Him for I am able to breathe
and walk and sit and sleep and eat and could digest food. I am thankful to Him for I can still desire
some things and can afford to buy them for my comfort. I am thankful to God for I am able to think
and remember things still. I am thankful to God for I am able to relate with
people and could talk to them intelligently.
I am thankful to God for my sight is still good and could read the
books, newspaper and listen to the tv program. Without much strain on my brain. I am able to
give my testimony in the TV programs. I t am thankful to God for there are
people who are still loving me and shedding tears in my sorrows. I thank God
for these dear friends who think of me in gentle manner and pray for me.
Recently I
started to thank God for the Alzheimer of my dear mother who is invalid and could not
remember many details of life. She used to ask me about my daughter’s children,
and used to enquire of my son’s married life and about the offspring
issue. When I was telling her that he doesn’t
have any ep, she used to tell me better he should have. But recently when he visited her she
completely forgot that he was married, and started to say better he get marry soon. She chose a girl telling him that she should
be born-again experienced girl in the Lord and should be fair and
charming. I never heard her speaking
these things in this manner, and it was my turn to be utterly astonished to
listen to her voice which was recorded by john on his mobile. It look like she
resembled as the old patriarch Jacob who was blessing his children with many
issues of the future unfolding. Shouldn’t I be heart fully thank full to God
for this? I was just worried a little
about my mother how she would take the recent calamity occurred in my
family. I see now Alzheimer is not a disease
but its blessing to us in old age to be detached to this world step by semtep. Wonder How god in His great mercy would
pattern everything so beautifully for our good.
I often remember
the keldoscopia where we put different colored glass bangle pieces to look at
the various designs it would patterned for our astonishment and amusement. I
used to spend hours together with this little self-made instrument in my
childhood, one eye peeping into the instrument and one ey closely shut out.
This is the way how God makes our lives, we think our beautiful bangles
were shattered down and only pieces are with us. But when we allow God to put
them into this keldoscopia he will make
our life beautiful to be astonished by
foes and amusement for our friends.
