A blessed Christmas everyone!

For the elderly :)

Tomorrow will be our Christmas party for the elderly at the Home for the Aged. We are so blessed that many  responded  for this project. Here are few of the items (personal hygiene)  that we will be giving them.

I am particularly happy how our scholars/youth worked very hard for this. This is their very first "pay it forward" project and they chose the abandoned elderly as recipients. I pray that they will learn to  love to do this and that compassion will flow from their heart even when they aren't with us anymore.

Pray for the Philippines

As we are challenged once again by this typhoon with International Name Hagupit and locally named here Ruby. Heading towards Visayas region but is so wide it could affect some areas in Mindanao and Luzon areas. It has strong winds too, initially it was "super typhoon" but just this afternoon it was downgraded to typhoon but just the same a typhoon is a typhoon. So we should all prepare for it and be ready just in case.

Charge your mobile phone batteries, get candles or torch in case electricity is cut off and of course stock on food. I myself experienced that "no food during typhoon" and it's quite hard.   Don't forget to secure your pets too, check EntirelyPets blog and find some tips there and cute videos too :)

Most of all, please do not forget t pray. Prayer is the most powerful weapon we can have.

Be safe everyone!

Be strong and courageous!

Going through my facebook feeds this morning, I saw a lot are in need of prayers and encouragement, there is this lady who just got married this year and is pregnant, lost her husband to cancer two weeks ago and yesterday she found out there is a problem with her baby and that she has to undergo operation once she's out and that she may not wait for full term and might have an emergency CS.

I think it's too much for a newlywed, new wife and new mom. But who are we to question's God' plan. I know that GOD is good and will always be good even if our situations are bad.

I posted this verse on her wall, praying that she will be encouraged somehow, praying she'll be more stronger  to face another bout of trial.

I am praying also that whoever is reading and needs prayer and encouragement  will also be  encourage by this verse. Please know that God is not leaving your side. All through your trials and testing..He is right there beside you and I  know He will help you go through it. Blessings everyone!
