THANK YOU

Mea e ‘ai e tatau ma le aso
“It is good to say thank you to the Lord, to sing praises to the God who is above all gods. Every morning tell him, “Thank you for your kindness,” and every evening rejoice in all his faithfulness.” (Psalm 92:1-2)

Thankfulness ought to be a major ingredient in all our relationships from the time that we wake to when we go to sleep.  During his trials and especially upon the arrival of our son Tuito’o, we focused on our blessings and express our gratitude to God for His gift to us as parents, protecting and guiding our children safely home.

We also realize that thanks should be on our lips every day for the blessings He so freely bestow upon us daily.  The blessings He gives so unselfishly in different ways and forms we sometimes forget to recognize and acknowledge.

Thus, we can never say thank you enough to our families, friends, our readers and especially to our Heavenly Father, for your intercessory prayers for our son.  Although “Thanks Giving Day” is an event celebrated annually worldwide, we want to count our blessings everyday and give thanks to our Heavenly Father for the gift of life, liberty and the loving gift of Salvation.

When thanksgiving became an integral part of our lives, we found that our attitude toward life has changed.  We became more positive, gracious, loving, and humbled.  “Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises,  that by these we might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world…” (2Peter 1:4)

I hope and pray that you, our precious readers will lovingly understand if I take some time-off from writing the “Daily Manna” blog.    That we may concentrate fully our time and effort, on the care of our son.   That the loving grace of God our loving Father, may restore to him his health.

When time permits God willing, I will on occasions, write about our experiences dealing with this ordeal for the benefit of those who are going through similar experiences.  Until then, may God richly bless each and every one of you in His Name.  For…”we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to [his] purpose.” (Romans 8:28)
