Jesus,
I want to move to a new place
but all things are in your mind.
So if you want me to continue to be in the old place, I will;
if you want me to go, I will.
I want to follow you,
not to follow my self.
Jesus, you are my shepherd, I lack nothing.
You make me lie down in green pastures.
You lead me beside quiet waters.
Surely your goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord
forever. (Psalm 23)
Amen.
PTH
Jesus,
I have only one hour to clean our kitchen before the home repairmen come.
I have only me.
I also don’t know where to start cleaning up and how to do it.
Give me a hand.
…
Wow, we have done.
We are a good team.
Wishing we are always a good team.
Amen.
PTH
Jesus,
I will sign a big contract this afternoon,
but from early morning to noon, I cling to you
by learning by heart one psalm in English,
then humming it and other psalms.
Yes, whatever comes to me, I only want to focus on you,
because you are my refuge and strength.
So please listen to my petition.
Help me be still always
so that I can know that you are God, my God.
Amen.
PTH
Jesus,
You give me the great gift to bear fruit –
the Holy Spirit.
“And the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. (Galatians 5:22-23)
Help me bear much of this fruit for you.
Amen.
PTH
Jesus,
When I am humming Psalm 46 that I have just learned by heart this morning, this part shines suddenly in my mind:
“There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,
the holy place where the Most High dwells.
God is within her, she will not fall;
God will help her at break of day.” Continue reading Prayer 768

Dear Brothers and Sisters,
How’s it going? What makes you happy?
There are many things that make me happy. One of them is going for a walk around Sapa Lake.
Sapa Lake is in downtown Sapa. It takes about 15 mins to walk around the lakefront. There is a small island in the lake that is home to many kinds of birds. Continue reading What makes you happy?

Hello brothers and sisters,
I’m Vietnam terminalia catappa, people also call me tropical almond but I like terminalia catappa better. I’m seven and a half months old. Thanks to sunshine, rain, wind… and chị Hương’s care and love, my leaves are green and my stems are strong. I’ll be taller and bigger than that, to bring joy and happiness to people. I’m so happy now.
I have several brothers and sisters too. All of us come from the seeds chị Hương found under a Flamboyant tree and a Libidibia ferrea tree, probably brought there by the squirrels from the huge old terminalia catappa trees across the street. Continue reading “Who am I?” – part 2
Dear brothers and sisters,
If I have a opportunity to share with students in a 7th grade class about “What your future could be? And how to prepare to achieve that future?”, I will talk to them about one thing – Serve other people.
I will start to talk to them like this.
Hi everyone,
I’m happy for coming here and sharing with you about an important thing for your life. That is “What your future could be? And how to prepare to achieve that future?” Continue reading Telling the youths: Serve other people

I’m a bus traveller, in or outside of Vietnam wherever I’ve lived. I’ve commuted by bus since I was a highschool girl. Many people keep asking me how can I survive without a motorbike in a country of tens of millions motorbike like Vietnam, where big cities of Saigon and Hanoi are constantly packed with traffic jam.
I simply don’t enjoy driving. Yes, that’s the fact. Driving makes me tired. Though, from time to time I do have to combine both buses and Grabbike when I do not have enough time to get where I need to be. Commuting by bus gives me rest, even if I got stuck in heavy traffic, it is still way better than sitting on a motorbike “eating” terrible smoke discharged from the vehicles. You surely know that once you’ve experienced crazy traffic in Vietnam. If you want to know how crazy is that craziness, simply do Google > Image for “traffic in Vietnam”. Continue reading What do I see on the bus?
Jesus,
I need to clean this floor,
so please help me.
Show me small stains on the floor
and help me to clean the stains.
We’ve been clean the floor during 2 hours but the floor is still not clean.

I love you.
You are always with me.
I love you.
Aen.

Textile stocks have been on a temporary upswing thanks to the recent ratification of the EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA) but textile enterprises still face difficulties due to heavy dependence on imported raw materials and machinery as well as reduced demand worldwide.
