Happy Mothers' Day to All!

grabbed from Facebook

To the greatest woman we have ever known;

to the most caring and endearing lady in our life,

who has mold us to be respectable and noble;

and cared enough to give us the very best.

HAPPY MOTHERS' DAY, MOM!

Powerful Hands

from Mr. Luis Lu's Facebook Status:

 

When our strength gives way, 

there's an arm that never gets tired...

 "God will hold you and won't let you down."

Put God on top of everything 

and let Him take charge of all your plans

 then you will see the reason why.....

Even in pain, we could smile;
Even in sorrow, we could still have joy;
Even in doubts, we could still believe;

Even in betrayal, we could still trust;
Even in fear, we still continue to fight!
Be felt with His love!

Don't Quit!

When things go wrong,

As they sometimes will,

When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,

When the funds are low and the debts are high,

And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,

When care is pressing you down a bit Rest if you must,

but don't you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,

As every one of us sometimes learns,

And many a failure turns about

When he might have won had he stuck it out.

Don't give up though the pace seems slow

You may succeed with another blow.

Success is failure turned inside out

The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,

And you never can tell how close you are,

It may be near when it seems so far ;

So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit

It's when things seem worst that you mustn't quit.

Poem by Shiv Khera

Life Is What You Make It

Fill your  mind with noble thoughts

The light to others bring

Find the good in everyone

The joys of living, sing...

Fill your heart with deep, strong faith

Let hope and peace prevail

O'er the problems that bother you

Trust God without fail...

Fill your days with labor true

Persist till your goal is hit

Within your hands the magic rests

Life is what you make it.

The Essence of a Wife

focus on the family.com

A wife of noble character who can find?

She is worth far more than rubies.

Her husband has full confidence in her

and lacks nothing of value.

She brings him good, not harm,

all the days of her life.

She selects wool and flax

and works with eager hands.

She is like the merchant ships,

bringing her food from afar.

She gets up while it is still night;

she provides food for her family

and portions for her female servants.

She considers a field and buys it;

out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.

She sets about her work vigorously;

her arms are strong for her tasks.

She sees that her trading is profitable,

and her lamp does not go out at night.

In her hand she holds the distaff

and grasps the spindle with her fingers.

She opens her arms to the poor

and extends her hands to the needy.

When it snows, she has no fear for her household;

for all of them are clothed in scarlet.

She makes coverings for her bed;

she is clothed in fine linen and purple.

Her husband is respected at the city gate,

where he takes his seat among the elders of the land.

She makes linen garments and sells them,

and supplies the merchants with sashes.

She is clothed with strength and dignity;

she can laugh at the days to come.

She speaks with wisdom,

and faithful instruction is on her tongue.

She watches over the affairs of her household

and does not eat the bread of idleness.

Her children arise and call her blessed;

her husband also, and he praises her:

“Many women do noble things,

but you surpass them all.”

Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;

but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.

Honor her for all that her hands have done,

and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.
