Was away on a family trip recently, and also to attend my cousin's wedding in Singapore. It was Mikaela's first time on an airplane. Not sure if she knew she was actually inside and on a plane (just like Nathan on his 1st airplane ride at 1 year and a half) - LOL! - But the kids sure had fun!

We brought them to the S.E.A. Aquarium in Sentosa.
Loved the calm and serenity of the sea and the beautiful life in it. How wonderful God's creations are!
It was rather tiring traveling with two little children, but it was indeed a great and meaningful trip with the whole family - traveling and getting together to be at a relative's special day.
Life on earth has more meaning to it, when you base and back everything on and with reasons - God and Love.
I recently read this testimony, shared by a friend from church.
Dr Gloria Polo was an orthodontist who was struck by lightning and had a near death experience. She wrote her testimony of being judged before God in Spanish and the translation into English can be read in the following link:

Very long read, but worth it. Very insightful and I have learnt so much more from it - especially how much we, as human actually dwell in all the worldly and secular things and activities (Yes, as I have mentioned in previous post about everything 'controlled'. 'They' know what 'they' are doing and the influences 'they' have on the world. 'They' have 'their' plans and the world being ignorant, and continuing to fall into 'their' traps is complimenting 'their' ultimate plan.) There is no use of me saying more. Let us pray.
After reading the testimony and with better understanding that a lot of things we think/do/feel are in fact, sins, which are separating us from God and eternal salvation, (and which we also sometimes try to find reasons to deny them as sins), I feel I have been such horrible person - such hypocrite, who claimed I knew and loved God but have led such pagan lives! I have been chasing all the wrong things. Well, I am still learning. Praise be to God for the chances.
Life on earth is only temporary. It is useless if all we do is fulfill our own desires and wills. For what good are earthly riches which will eventually fade or be eaten by moths or stolen by robbers? What we should really strive for is eternal Life.
"Do not store up riches for yourselves here on earth, where moths and rust destroy, and robbers break in and steal. Instead, store up riches for yourselves in heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy, and robbers cannot break in and steal. For your heart will always be where your riches are."
- Matthew 6:19-21
For the sake of His sorrowful passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world.
God Bless!
