May Jesus Christ’s name be uplifted for He is faithful to His promises … that He provides and cares for those who trust and obey Him. James had been having a gout attack for a week prior to the big snow storm this past Monday… We praise God for His perfect timing in restoring his health condition. On Monday, he was able to use the heavy snow blower to remove our long driveway covered with 40 cm high of snow. Not only He did our driveway, he also helped the neighbors and strangers whose car got stuck on our street. How wonderful was Jesus for sustaining us during this snow storm. Even though I have back and knee issues, I had the strength to help out in removing the snow too!! :)) It is in small things of daily life that we see how God is gracious and merciful! How we love You, Lord!!

During our Bible Study meeting last Sunday, my dear brother shared about his chemo experiences and saying that he does not feel that he is suffering at all, God is always provide and ask us be Be strong and courageous. Myself also went through radiation and feeling I was so blessed that so many friends at our church or even around the world pray or comfort me. I totally agreed with my dear brother saying that I was not suffered at all. May our dear God got all the glory and praises.

Lift-Christ-Up…Welcoming Christ as I awake and continue conversing with Him throughout the day.

Lift- Christ- up…for me, it is speaking (out loud) to Him throughout the day, discussing situations that trouble me, asking for direction, confessing as soon as I realize of a wrong thought/ attitude/comment occured. Sometimes I \’argue\’/question Him, but I know that He listens and He will guide and re-direct my thoughts. At the end of the day, I thank Him and praise Him for spending the day with me and ask for a restoring rest .
