Today is the 2nd anniversary since my dad moved to heaven. I miss him but have lots happy memories of him. He graduated from Pui Ching Middle School in H.K. and was a proud alumnus. His school has a rich Christian background therefore he was familiar with many traditional hymns, one of which was Amazing Grace. The lyrics of Amazing Grace are based on: “Then King David went in and sat before the Lord, and he said: “Who am I, Lord God, and what is my family, that you have brought me this far? And as if this were not enough in your sight, my God, you have spoken about the future of the house of your servant. You, Lord God, have looked on me as though I were the most exalted of men.” 1 Chronicles‬ ‭17‬:‭16‬-‭17‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Please share a Bible verse that is speaking to you these days?

Ephesians 5 17  So don’t be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is.  18  And don’t get drunk with wine, which leads to reckless living, but be filled by the Spirit:  19  speaking to one another in psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing and making music with your heart to the Lord,  20  giving thanks always for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,  21  submitting to one another in the fear of Christ.
