Lord's Widow: For A Good Cause

My mother is active in the church activity as well as other social gatherings for seniors. This picture was taken during the 18th Anniversary Celebration of the Lord's Widows held in Cagayan de Oro City, Philippines.They have a Beauty Search during this time and most of the proceeds will benefit the victims of a calamity in the nearby towns. I told myself, I will support my mom at the same time give it for a cause. I sent an amount that would make her win the title. But, a friend needed financial help at that moment. My mother asked me if she could split the money and help a friend. I told her, it's her decision. She won first runner-up for few pesos difference. But, all of us were satisfied because we help the cause and most of all we extended help for a friend in need.

Thank You Lord

This is my favorite religious song and I want to share with you the meaningful lyrics of Thank You Lord. This picture was taken after a storm an hour ago. No traces of dark clouds and bad weather only the fascinating blue skies.

Thank you, Lord,
for the trials that come my way.
In that way I can grow each day
as I let you lead,
And thank you, Lord,
for the patience those trials bring.
In that process of growing,
I can learn to care.

But it goes against the way
I am to put my human nature down
and let the Spirit take control of all I do.

'Cause when those trials come,
my human nature shouts the thing to do;
and God's soft prompting
can be easily ignored.


I thank you, Lord,
with each trial I feel inside,
that you're there to help,
lead and guide me away from wrong.
'Cause you promised, Lord,
that with every testing,
that your way of escaping is easier to bear.

But it goes against the way
I am to put my human nature down
and let the Spirit take control of all I do.

'Cause when those trials come,
my human nature shouts the thing to do;
and God's soft prompting
can be easily ignored.


I thank you, Lord,
for the victory that growing brings.
In surrender of everything
life is so worth while.
And I thank you, Lord,
that when everything's put in place,
out in front I can see your face,
and it's there you belong.
