You will know I'm happy when I hang new curtains

I can't think of anything blogworthy today as I cannot gather my scattered thoughts. I'm just trying to post so I can maintain my blog.

Let's see. This morning I just said a simple prayer thanking God for the strength and health I have. Indeed His promise is true and great is His faithfulness that is new every morning. I also agreed with God that today will be a pleasant one and Mum will feel His love thru me.

At four in the afternoon my plan is to accompany Mum to her doc as she is experiencing early signs of colds. She coughs. But at four o'clock she announced we're not going to the doc anymore. She's feeling well she said. I asked Mum if she is sure about it and teased her even that she's just avoiding giving her money to Dr. Ambat again. Mum just won't go. Last night my sister Vi prayed over for her on the phone. The other night my daughter and I prayed for her also. Mum is turning 80 in November, still strong and alert not yet forgetful, never senile. She reads her enormous bible with big letters everyday. My eldest sister says Mum will never be forgetful as her mind is exercised daily by reading God's word.

I'm not really sure why I'm feeling happy this afternoon. I cleaned our window screens and hung new curtains. The curtains were made of white lace. The house was lovely afterwards. We have a wide doorway leading to an extra room to the left of our house and I asked Mum if it will look beautiful if she makes a crocheted curtain for it. Yes, Mum can still crochet. And can she finish it before her birthday? Mum groaned. So I promised to help her beat the deadline. One of these days I will post a pic of Mum's crocheted curtain.

The greatness of God rouses fear within us, but His goodness encourages us not to be afraid of Him. To fear and not to be afraid- that is the paradox of faith.
