Teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain a heart of wisdom (Psalm 90:12)
I have counted the days and today is my sister birthday. God has showered me with many blessings through her since the day she was born. I have learned about humility and standing strong through the humiliation since the day I knew her. I have learned how to love and to let go since God introduced her in my life.
And here I am, counting my days and her days, counting all the blessings and tears. Actually every time I feel sad and I cry, whenever I remember how God has blessed me for giving me the privilege to be your sister, the tears are changed to smile and thanksgiving.
So in this special day, though we are oceans and continent apart, I feel that I have you beside me when I enjoyed the noodle that I prepared for you. And when everything seems up side down in your life, I pray that you will always feel His hands holding your heart. And whenever you feel blue and the world is turning his back on you and you can’t even see His face, I pray you will know His promise to never leave you is always true. And even when the gloomy days seem to be with no end, His promise that in everything He works for the good for those who love Him, is still true.
Those people that ever come to your life will leave their special marks in you, but whether sweet memories or deep scar is never too great that they are beyond His reach to always remind you that He is the best in your life.
I don’t know if you know how to count your days, I don’t know if you ever count His blessings, but I know our God is big enough to save us.
Thank You, Jesus for my sister. Thank You that I have the assurance that though I am far, I have You who love her more than I love her. I thank You for having the chance to talk to You about her, to lift her up to You in my prayer. And many days when I feel I don’t want to live anymore, You remind me of one among many reasons that I can keep on living with the love to share to her.
I love you (thank You for teaching me to love her)
and whatever Your plan is, I pray that all will be done in her life (and let this prayer be the same prayer for a friend of mine who share the same birthday with my sister: let Your will be done in their lives)
