Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirableâ€â€if anything is excellent or praiseworthyâ€â€think about such things. Philippians 4:8
Sure there are a lot of worries I could very well dwell on, but I choose to look at these wonderful things:
-
Lord, thank you that everyday I receive good reports from the girls that I disciple, despite their struggles. It took us a while to get where we are and it makes my heart glad that most of them are doing better at dealing with things.
-
Lord, thank you for our family’s good health. Our little guy will be done taking his medications for Primary Complex very very soon. I have had several health issues for as long as I can remember. And dealing with a friend who has Thyroid Cancer and a member from our church who has Ovarian Cancer, makes us all realize how life is but like a breath.
“Show me, O LORD, my life’s end and the number of my days; let me know how fleeting is my life. You have made my days a mere handbreadth; the span of my years is as nothing before you. Each man’s life is but a breath. Psalm 39:4-5

Lord thank you for leading us to Aling Beka. She is a 64 year old woman, who was once a neighbor of MIL. She is now diligently taking care of our Uncle who is mentally challenged. Another uncle used to take care of him, but he has to leave for the States early this month and my mother is also in America. There are only but a few of us in the younger generation that are around and we really need her assistance to take care of him.
