KNEELING BEFORE YOUR PRESENCE
My soul inflamed with the fire of love.
I feel immersed like a drop of water in the ocean.
I desire to blossom like a flower in Your garden.
Dear Lord! I humbly kneel before Your presence.
I offer You my fresh and beautiful dreams.
Filling my restless heart with hope and aspirations.
My lips sing endless songs of praise to glorify Your name.
Dear Lord! I humbly kneel before Your presence.
With confidence, I pray to You.
With Your grace to face challenges.
Journeying through a demand of life,
Dear Lord! I humbly kneel before Your presence
Everyday I offer my daily worship, and adore You
You're the source of all blessings,
I am forever grateful for Your unconditional love.
********
Autumn eventide on a peaceful peak.
Clusters of clouds are floating,
The moon tilted in thin shadows.
The rustling sound of the leaves
and the flock of bluebirds
are a source of entertainment.
A family deer is enjoying eating acorn nuts,
Under an oak tree.
The South wind is rattling.
Howling on the mountaintop,
Sitting alone, I contemplate God's grandeur.
Feeling God's love manifest,
While having a good conversation with Him.
Gradually, He set my mind at peace.
Casting away all my illegitimate fear,
And the anxiety slowly disappears.
In God, I trust.
Jesus Christ my good shepherd.
The climate is unbearably hot and humid
Imagine sitting under an unending waterfall
Feeling surrounded by God's presence and providence.
Our souls are dry, and parched,
Our hearts are heavy, lukewarm, and distracted.
We are being deceived, and seduced by sin,
Our emotions are filled with shame, revenge
anger, fear, envy, pride, reluctance, indifferent, etc....
We are hooked on many idols and addictions
We need Your guidance to overcome these obstacles.
Please, cleanse our bodies, spirits, and souls
Under the clear and cool waterfall.
Renewing our lives
Show us how to sustain and remain in You.
Oh Jesus, our savior.

Spring of 2024
Spring of 2024
SPRING BLISS
Spring has arrived two weeks early this year.
The peach trees bloomed beautifully with pastel pink flowers.
The plum tree has pure white dazzling flowers.
The vibrant red tulips illuminate the whole landscape.
The bees are happily pollination without being pesticide.
And I am excited to harvest the dandelion flowers.
Somehow, the flowers bloom longer on a gloomy day.
They made good remedies and sweet tea.
And provide health benefits.
Create glowing skin, heal canker sore, and also ease the pain.

The Fireflies
As a child, I was always amazed by the glowing bugs that flew around at night. I later learned that there are over 150 species of fireflies living on Earth. One of the most adorable ones is the blinking beetle that appears in the twilight. People used to catch them and put them in jars as lanterns. Fireflies thrive in beautiful forests with an abundance of trees. Unfortunately, their lifespan is very short - it takes them two years to develop, but they only live for a month. They usually come out in the summer, from June to September. Have you ever seen a thousand of them glowing green like nylon? It's truly a wonder to behold. It's a shame that we now rely so much on electricity and artificial lighting that children in towns and suburbs rarely get to see them anymore.
