Recently I agreed to help a friend to install/fix a DVD player for her. This is not my first choice of helping her as I know next to nothing about these types of gadgets-let alone fixing one. But due to situations/circumstances that do not permit other help, I offered to try. So I asked my son to 'teach/show' me how to fix my DVD player into my TV. To him, it seems so easy.
After getting a new DVD player, we proceeded to her house. But I did confess to her that I might not be able to do it. So another friend said."Let's commit this to God" And we gathered together to pray and ask the Lord to be our helper.
I tried at first to fix it onto the TV in the hall. Nothing!!! So I brought it into the room and fix it onto that TV. Nothing!!! Lord, please help. So I brought the DVD player to fix in onto the TV in the hall once again. This time I pressed a bar and something happened. Viola! It worked. Praise the LORD. All glory to him. I am very happy to be able to help this friend who bought the DVD player for her aged father who is house-bound. God knows and meets each of our needs. Hallelujah!

ALWAYS GIVE THANKS
Be thankful that you don't already have everything you desire
If you did, what would there be to look forward to?
Be thankful when you don't know something,
for it gives you the opportunity to learn
Be thankful for the difficult times. During those times you grow.
Be thankful for your limitations,
because they give you opportunities for improvement.
Be thankful for each new challenge,
because it will build your strength and character.
Be thankful for your mistakes. They will teach you valuable lessons.
Be thankful when you're tired and weary,
because it means you've made a difference.
It's easy to be thankful for the good things.
A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who
are also thankful for the setbacks.
Gratitude can turn a negative into a positive.
Find a way to be thankful for your troubles,
and they can become your blessings.

God Answers my questions!
2 days ago I was reading Revelation Chapter 7 and was very puzzled. I know of the 12 tribes during Moses' time, but do not understand why in Revelation, 2 tribes are missing - instead replaced by the tribes of Joseph and Levi.
So I asked God about this puzzle and wrote the question in my journal. Incredible. Today while doing a bible study on the internet, the speaker explains very clearly this question that I asked God 2 days ago. In fact, I could have got the answer the day before, but as the computer was not available to me, I could only access it today.
God is really so amazing. Praise the Lord. He is indeed to be worshipped.Hallelujah!

Thorn in the flesh
For 3 generations, the clock had stood in the same corner, faithfully ticking off the minutes and hours. Each day, the clock's owner grasped the chain and pulled up the heavy weight to keep the clock running.
Then a new owner appeared and concluded that the clock should not have to bear so heavy a load. Gently, he removed the weight and immediately the old clock stopped ticking.
"Why did you remove my weight?" the clock asked.
"I wanted to lighten your load," replied the man.
"That doesn't help," the clock responded. "Please put the weight back on the chain. That weight is what keeps me going."
The moral of this little fable is obvious. A life without burdens isn't necessarily a triumphant life. Often burdens "keep us going" and help us mature. That is cause for thanksgiving and hope.
