When two hearts are joined together in love,

They’re receiving this endless blessing from above.

God is watching over them from a distance,

Protecting and saving them
in every circumstance.

Everyday is a big challenge for both of them,

Lifting up these troubles to God above all men.

May the Lord grant my employer and her family good health and longevity. I pray that the Lord will bless each one of them. I am thankful for their kindness to me, treating me as part of their family and trusting me. My wish is that their kindness will not change.

  — Jenny Ambrosio

Dream the impossible dreams

There is no war or violence

Peace and love is everywhere.

All families are built by hearts

no matter how small the houses are.

Caring, sharing and loving one another

The world is a global village.

Let it grow, let it grow, O Lord!

Let it grow as we pray for your glory

May its fragrance reach the heaven

Bringing joy to our heart’s satisfaction.

Let it grow, let it grow, O Lord!

Let it grow so white and we will be merry

Devotion to Christ means depending on him every day. When you first begin a relationship with Jesus, you are like the fishermen of Galilee: you are asked to follow him. As you come to know him better, you realise that he is taking you to places where you must trust him completely.

My work usually finishes around 10:00pm and I sleep at 11:30 in the evening. I wake up around 7.00am and I still have enough sleep. But on Saturdays I get up around 8.00am. I fully support the proposal of migrant rights groups for maximum working hours, because as domestic workers we need enough rest and strength for the next day. If we don’t have enough sleep we will get weak and easily get sick.

When we age honestly,

we understand more about love.

When our physical eyesight dimmer,

our spiritual eyesight gets clearer.

As our body weakens,

our mind stays more willing.

After all the denials, the masks, the fears,

Look at the birds: they do not plant seeds,

gather a harvest and put it in barns; yet your 

Father in heaven takes care of them! Aren’t 

you worth much more than birds?” 

(Matthew 6:26)

A myriad of birds day after day

The year 2016 for me was challenging. Among my challenges was losing a job in the midst of big expenses in supporting my two children in college. It is worse to think that the first time I lost my job could be followed by another two consecutive terminations that made me feel empty. Thinking of my children back home, I began crying, asking why God permitted these things to happen to me.

My most wonderful Christmas present received is really precious. 

Raymond was a Filipino student I once taught. He was good at playing the piano and sports. But his sports shoes were torn!

So I told him that I would give him a Christmas present only when he got over 90 marks in his English exam.

And he achieved my goal.
