Lead the way

Dear brothers and sisters,

Here is the song from the animated film “Raya and the Last Dragon”, released in 2021.

The film was inspired by the Southeast Asian cultures of 11 countries: Brunei, Singapore, Laos, Thailand, East Timor, Cambodia, Vietnam, Myanmar, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines, creating the story that takes place in the fictional country of Kumandra.

The song was composed by James Newton Howard and performed by Jhené Aiko.

Enjoy and have a nice day. Continue reading Lead the way

Chapters 13 to 17 contain Jesus’ teachings during the Last Supper,
which took place on Thursday, now celebrated as Holy Thursday.

16 “All this I have told you so that you will not fall away. They will put you out of the synagogue; in fact, the time is coming when anyone who kills you will think they are offering a service to God. They will do such things because they have not known the Father or me. I have told you this, so that when their time comes you will remember that I warned you about them. I did not tell you this from the beginning because I was with you, but now I am going to him who sent me. None of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’ Rather, you are filled with grief because I have said these things. But very truly I tell you, it is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. When he comes, he will prove the world to be in the wrong about sin and righteousness and judgment: about sin, because people do not believe in me; 10 about righteousness, because I am going to the Father, where you can see me no longer; 11 and about judgment, because the prince of this world now stands condemned.

Phép lạ hằng ngày 51

Chào anh chị em,

Con gái mình học lớp 1. Hôm qua, mình ngồi ôn bài cho bé nhà mình, bé sắp kiểm tra một môn trên trường. Đợt này bài cần ôn khá nhiều. Đang ôn, mình có nói với bé: “Còn nhiều bài quá An ơi, ba sợ ôn không kịp!”

Bé liền quay lại nhìn mình và cười vui vẻ nói: “Có gì đâu mà ba phải lo lắng. Cứ làm bài hết sức. Bài nào làm không được thì thôi.” Mình vừa giật mình, vừa buồn cười. Nghĩ trong lòng: “Ừ ha, tự nhiên mình lo lắng chi vậy, cứ cố gắng ôn cho nó, được từng nào hay từng đó.”

Mình biết đó là Chúa muốn nói với mình thông qua miệng của con mình, nhắc mình luôn có Chúa bên cạnh và giữ lòng tĩnh lặng, vui vẻ. Sự bên cạnh và nhắc nhở kịp thời đó là phép lạ của Chúa với mình.

In Christ,

Nguyễn Bảo Ngọc
