Last week, I had a chance to see men working in our church building. I am impressed with their strength and hard work. I realized how important clamps are. It really made their work much easier. It is mostly impossible to obtain the quality of work you really want by simply holding the something by hand. It is good that there are a lot of tools that made the carpenters do their job effectively.

It was one of the group contests we had in our church. We grouped ourselves into 5 groups. The dynamic of the game, the group who consumed the watermelon first will be the winner. It was really fun. Look at the watermelon aftermath… =)

Today in church, I didn’t help my tears from coming out. It was tears of joy and relief. I have an aunt who went away and left her family for a while. We were worried for their family. I felt the hurts her children feel about the situation. I personally was praying for her that God will touch her heart and to come back home. Two weeks ago she went back home for good. It made us all so happy. Today the whole family rendered a special song in the church entitled “Sheltered in the arms of God”. I just didn’t understand myself why my tears kept on coming out while listening to them. I felt so happy for them. I was so touched and I pray that they will continue to serve the Lord as a family. I was not the only one who cried but I think almost everyone in the congregation cried too. Tears of joy. To God be the glory.

Today I went to the church. I found the sermon very interesting and it is really a practical one. The pastor talked about the the structuure of a family. It emphasized how important family is as a basic unit in the community. The parents are the authorities in the family over the children not reverse. The bible reminded us that parents should train up the child the he should go so when he is old he will not depart from it. Children should obey their parents for this the right thing to do.
