“For all Your goodness, I will keep on singing. Ten thousand reasons for my heart to find.” – Matt Redman 🗞 ️ Dear blessed beneficiary, The year is coming to an end. It’s time we follow the trend, wherein people look back to the year’s blessings and look forward to new beginnings. Before we face the new year, let’s look back and praise and thank God for the good things He has done for the world this year. This is a joint late Thanksgiving and early New Year's Eve celebration post. The Bible reading for this entry is the beginning of Psalm 103 where it tells us not to forget the benefits we get from the Lord. Psalm 103:1-5 (NKJV) Bless the Lord, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless His holy name! 2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits: 3 Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases, 4 Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies, 5 Who satisfies your mouth with good thing...

“I’ll sing forever for You. I’ll sing forever. My life is my song for You. I’ll live forever.” – Celina 🎶 Dear soundless sulker, Got no reason to smile? Haven’t hummed in a while? Waiting for a spring on your step? Tired of that frown you timelessly kept? I myself am not a cheerful person, but I have found the joy that makes me sing. As my confidence grew, I’ve become the singer-songwriter-Youtuber I never thought I’d be. My source of delight is none other than the God whom the Israelites sang to after He delivered them from Egypt’s oppression. Exodus 15:1-11 (HCSB) Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song to the Lord. They said: I will sing to the Lord, for He is highly exalted; He has thrown the horse and its rider into the sea. 2 The Lord is my strength and my song; He has become my salvation. This is my God, and I will praise Him, my father’s God, and I will exalt Him. 3 The Lord is a warrior; Yahweh is His name. 4 He threw Pharaoh’s chariots and his army into the sea; the...

 “I see a world of wonders! There’s so much more to explore…” – Celina :D Dear pandemic-ridden pessimist, I may be writing to myself, for at times I am like you. Being stuck at home has made me blue. Thank God for the vaccines! We'll return to experiencing public scenes. Since for now it’s still not best to go outside, let’s just read a wild ride, an adventure in words painted about this expanse we’re existing in that God created. Psalm 104:1-13 (Celina’s Version) Dear soul, bless the Lord! Dear Lord, how great You are, Robed with honor and in majestic art! The sunshine’s your garment. The heavens stretched as Your tent. The oceans are where Your palace is found. You travel the wind with the clouds. The winds are Your messengers. The flames are Your ministers. You set the earth on a firm foundation; It can never be shaken by any commotion. You blanketed it with waters That stood above the mountains. At Your rebuke, the waters fled. At Your thunder, flew away the fountains. Over the...
