Then Sings My Soul Saturdays: Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone)

It is by His grace that I am set free!



Happy weekend!

Then Sings My Soul Saturdays: With All I Am

Jesus you are the reason that I believe... you are the reason that I sing.

WFW - Psalm 121:1-2

(source)

The Lord is the maker of heaven and earth.
He knows what is happening to our world.
He cares about us.
He loves us.

So when we can't see the goodness out of a situation in our life,

let us choose to trust in Him and in His goodness.

You Are Inspirational, Gentle Hands

Gentle Hands is a Christian social welfare agency located in Metro Manila. They rescue children who are abandoned, abused, or malnourished. They are also a licensed foster/adoption agency. To learn more about it, go to http://www.gentlehands.org/

Here are some of the recent "rescues" and "adoptions" as shown in the Gentle Hands FB page.

I am inspired that Gentle Hands is run by non-Filipino missionaries who are called by God to work here in the Philippines, to help this specific group of people. They bring hope to some of the most depressed families and children in our society.

Most of the time, we Filipinos, don't have much time to help out in our community, much more these abandoned children. As a blogger, I have realized that we don't need to stay behind our blogs, but we can actually start to go beyond blogging. Maybe we can start to donate, or help them buy some of their needs.

Then Sings My Soul Saturdays: Still

With the recent Japan earthquake... It reminds us that God is always in control of everything. No matter what happens, we know that we can trust and rely on God. In times of uncertainties, I will be still and know that God is in control!
