...when was the last time we thanked GOD?"




An 87 year old woman said, "I am glad that I am able to celebrate thanksgiving again." According to her, thanksgiving is a time to be thankful to God for the gift of her life. She also told me, "we need to ask ourselves, when was the last time we thanked GOD?" She concluded, "it is also good to be alone and to meditate and to reflect God's goodness."

Hi, I attended a recelection for Youth recently (actually yesterday). And Fr. Jalius shared some of his experiences about the Holy Spirit. And that very day I realised that I was not lonely in my journey up to this day...I know that someone is watching over me...GOD. When I was down, He was there but I never realised it. One miracle happened when I reached Sandakan (I was posted to Sandakan), I never wanted to be in Sandakan (actually) and my mom called me the day I arrived and I cried...I did not know why but I kind of missed everything back home. After hung up, I prayed...I remembered asking God's help and I felt He was there beside me. The next morning, I went for my Orientation at that school, it turned out that the school is fine, everyone is like a family...what more can I ask from God other than being able to be His' hands to help students at that school. Praise the Lord!
