October is coming – the rainy season is coming.
The first rains always make Snail feel a little joy. The first rains are often showers. People say, if it showers on the first date, that couple will get married. “Funny”, Snail smiles, although she keeps on believing in that legend.
Usually each shower lasts for a short time. Though only for a little time, earth and heaven seem closer than they are. Continue reading Just watching the rain

Let’s sew a hook and an eye.

Funny. Continue reading Prayer 531

Mưa trên lá tre gầy.
Mưa trên rãnh nước.
Mưa trên sân xi-măng cứng.
Mưa trên đất mềm trong vườn và chậu cây. Continue reading Lời cầu nguyện 22

How can I have a sincere voice?
Amen.

You ate with tax collectors and sinners.*
How could you talk to them?
Perhaps they didn’t talk positively like you.
How could you listen and talk to them?

you saw everything the same way,
while being still at all times.
Amen.
PTH

Em nhớ Jesus từng nói [với các môn đệ],
“Thầy biết thầy từ đâu đến và thầy sẽ đi đâu.”

Những lời này gợi em nhớ
em được sinh ra từ tay Chúa.
Chúa tạo ra em. Continue reading Lời cầu nguyện 26
