Dinner For A Cause

Me and my husband are attending this dinner tomorrow, the Pastor who spearheads this ministry is our Pastor so we are all there to support. proceeds for this will go to sick children of the PGH. If you're in Manila and you want to help, you might want to dine in and help. This will be held in Makati Parks and Garden tomorrow at 7:00 PM. There will also be a mini concert and my husband will be playing the base guitar for the first time. :)

Hospital Visitation

Our church went to the hospital last Saturday for gift giving and visitation. PGH (Philippine General Hospital) is a a government owned hospital. And what can you expect from a government hospital? People who can not afford to go to a better hospital cramped there. And it is a very depressing sight. As I have said in my post below, I cried and Rudolf ended up consoling me. I cried that millions of people here in the Philippines are deprived of good health care service. I cried that a boy as young as 12 years was amputated and even cried more that despite of his situation, he was in high spirit and smiling. God bless his heart.

It's there where I realized and told my husband that we will never be rich in this life, we will never be someone who have hundreds of thousand of monies in the bank because we know in our heart we will be giving it away. For I can not fathom how our government officials are given millions as salaries and yet our hospitals are as poor as that. How can someone worry about not having an iphone with iphone warranty or with not having that flat screen tv, or with not having a car? I am not that insensitive. And I do not write this just to brag that I am good because I am not, but really I just do not understand why people complain so much when they do not even know the plight of the poor.

at least we have a play area for the children

This has been an emotional post. Sorry but I can't help it. The scene from the hospital is still here in my heart. It was my second time to visit and I hope I'll not be immune on my future visits. I still want to feel their heart, in that way , I will not lose the compassion to serve the poor as mandated by the Lord.

Hospital Ministry

Hi everyone! I'm back from a short vacation and will be away again tomorrow. How's your Christmas? Hope you all had fun and enjoyed the day with your loved ones. It's been a busy month for us here, personally and also with the ministry. I have loads of stuff to blog but I'm doing the hospital ministry first because this was the sort of launching of this ministry. One of our Pastor had a burdened in helping sick and poor kids/families in the hospital and so last week we went to distribute some goods and most of all we went to minister and pray for them. It was a very humbling experience.

That is me trying to cheer up this beautiful young girl who just had her operation days ago

looks like I needed a CONCERTA Adult ADHD Medication here :)

Praying for the sick, praying for healing and miracles

It was such a blessing not only for them but for us also :)
