Prayer is not a magic wand for satisfying our own wishes, but it's an opportunity to work with the LORD in accomplishing HIS purposes. ~Ate Cathy

"5 fingers of prayer"
1. Your thumb is nearer to you, so pray for those who are closest to you.
2. Pointing finger: pray for those who teach, instruct and heal.
3. Tallest finger: pray for our leaders, they need GOD's guidance.
4. Ring finger: weakest finger, so pray for those who are weak, troubled or in need.
5. Little finger: the smallest to remind you to pray for yourself.
~Jannine

JESUS IS ALIVE! ~Ms. Ron

Life is a constant change. Love is the greatest surprise. Friendship is your best defense. Maturity comes with responsibilities. And death is just around the corner. So expect little, assume nothing, learn from your mistakes, listen to your heart, take care of your friends, treasure your family, achieve your goals, cry because of laughter, laugh because of pain, eat your pride and throw up all hatred. And always remember that life is the best gift coz not everyone get the chance to have it. ~Julie Anne

Never get tired of doing little things for others... sometimes those little things occupy the biggest part of their hearts. ~Ms. Sol
