DIVINE PATIENCE

Life has its ups and downs and for me, it even takes a long turn.

After more than six months of medical examination, I was able to obtain a Canadian Visitor's Visa to visit my two children who are both settled there. The trip was my memorable first because it was my first time time to travel by plane and also my first time to be out of the country. How thrilling it was!

But having just started to get adjusted to everyday routine and weather, a call to come back home has urgent and painful. My husband had a stroke and complications worsen because of his long-time lingering disease.....diabetes.

Fear, resentment and loneliness were the mixed feelings that numbed my whole being. But holding on to my Christian faith, a started to weigh all things and tried to figure out the necessary adjustment I have to take.

Yes, I thank God for my peaceful acceptance of everything. Each day, I pray for divine patience to strengthen me to be able to joyfully carry on my work as a wife, a trying-hard nurse and a home-grown dietitian.

In my prayers, I am certain in always hearing His voice giving me that assurance He is always by my side, helping and telling me to entrust everything to Him.

Thank You Lord!
