I just keep trusting my Lord

Dearest God, Our Creator, we praise you. I thank you for my handsome boys. Please grant them your wisdom. Let the meditations of their heart, their thoughts and their actions be pleasing to you, O Lord. Let them love you above all like they used to when they were small children. Please be with my precious children always and be their inner voice speaking to them and directing them in the right path. Please help them behave in such a way that their character reflects that they are the children of God. We thank you for all the beautiful things you have given us in this world. Amen.

Dearest Albert and Alfred,
Your mommy loves you very very much. Please take care of yourself and your brother. Be good moral support to each other. Please study well, eat healthy, take part in games and sports and make good friends. Please honor and respect God in everything you do.

If each one of us chooses to live the right way in our thoughts, words and actions, reflecting we are children of God, the world will automatically become a better place to live.

Carefully watch little babies. They are so happy, so innocent, so cute. All the people in this world started out like that very happy, very innocent and too sweet.

It is our choices that determine our destiny, even the smallest choice. Always try to make choices that are pleasing to God. Reading the Holy Books will help guide you in the right direction. When I was a child, I would read the Holy Bible - Gospels, Book of Proverbs, Book of Psalms, etc every night. Do you remember your mommy used to read the Holy Bible to you in the night. You would read the Children's bible too. (When I returned to our New Jersey home and was shocked to see it was empty, I found your Children's Bible, which I will give you when God reunites us.)

When you make the right choices, your destiny will be good and God's blessings will always be upon you.
Sometimes when it is difficult to know what the right choice is,  reflect and see what your inner voice tells you and seek the guidance of people who are wise and morally good.
When you make the wrong choices on purpose (even on small things), you will eventually damage your destiny.

Always make the right choices. Always go on the path of truth and love. Refuse to do anything wrong. God will surely send good people to correct any wrong that has been done to you, when you are helpless. I have seen it happen. God abundantly bless all the good people who have come into my life.

"Some people come in your life as blessing. Some people come in your life as lessons" - Mother Teresa

God will test us like gold is tested in fire to see if we are pure as per the Holy Bible.

Proverbs 17:3 Gold and silver are tested by fire and a person's heart is tested by the Lord.

We need to try to pass these tests.

" I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death." - Thomas Paine

Research good and evil people in history and present times. You will find what Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King said are absolutely true.

"... all through history the way of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants and murderers and for a time they seem invincible, but in the end they always fall, think of it, Always." - Mahatma Gandhi

"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy" - Martin Luther King Jr

Please live a life of righteousness doing good for yourself and humanity. Let us make God, our heavenly father, happy by making the right choices in life and thereby honoring Him and making Him happy that we are His children.

I just keep trusting my Lord.

I will always love you. I will always pray for you. I will always bless you. God who is our father and the supreme judge, who saw the truth, will surely grant us justice and reunite us.

We love you God, our Heavenly Father.

With lots of love, prayers and blessings,
Your loving mommy,
Bindu Philips

God bless my precious children

Dear God, please bless my precious children. Dear God, let your grace be on my sons. Dear God, please bestow wisdom, happiness, good health, intelligence, love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control on my precious children. Dear God, be with my children at all times and guide them in the path of righteousness.
 
Your mommy loves you very much. You are my beloved sons. You are my brilliant sun, the luminous moon and my shining stars. Do you remember your mommy used to call you Suraj (sun) and Chanda (moon) sometimes.
 
Hindi song - Chanda hai tu mera suraj hai tu
 
Dear God, our heavenly father, my precious children and I love you very much.

This little shining light of mine

Dearest God,
We love you so much. Thank you for the shining light you placed in all of us. Help us to make the shining light you placed in us reflect that you are our Heavenly Father and we your beloved children. Dearest God, please be with my precious children every moment of their life. Please protect them from evil. Let them know that you are in them and let their little shining lights shine brightly to glorify you. Dearest God, bless my beloved twin boys with wisdom to distinguish between right and wrong and guide them to make the right choices in every step of their life, as I am not beside them to guide them in Your ways.
Dearest God, bless my precious sons and all the children in this world.
Amen.

I love everything about my school - my school principals, my teachers, my friends, my school. Most of all, I love my school principals and teachers for instilling in us as children - faith in God and discipline.
I love my parents - the God's we see with our eyes, my very first teachers.

On our 10th grade/standard graduation ceremony day, all the 10th standard students were wearing white dresses and were seated on the stage in our school's auditorium. All the students looked like beautiful angels. At the end of the graduation ceremony, our high school principal would give each one of us a brightly lit white candle, one by one, as we walked to her at the center of the stage and proceeded to walk down the hall of the auditorium. At this time, the school choir,  the lower grade/standard children and all of us sang the song "This little shining light of mine, I am going to let it shine." I thought this was beautiful. It symbolized that we were leaving our well protected convent environment and going into the world and we would continue to shine our shining light in the world.

This little shining light of mine, I am going to let it shine


Lyrics
This little shining light of mine, I am going to let it shine (3)
Let it shine, all the time, let it shine.
Hide it under a bushel - Oh No, I am going to let it shine (3)
Let it shine, all the time, let it shine.
Don't let evil blow it out, I am going to let shine (3)
Let it shine, all the time. let it shine.
Everywhere I go, I am going to let it shine (3)
Let it shine, all the time. let it shine.
This little shining light of mine, I am going to let it shine (3)
Let it shine, all the time, let it shine.


My dearest children, every single person in this world goes through days of happiness and days of sadness. Sometimes, sadness may be caused by the someone else  unexpectedly deceiving us.
My dearest children, whatever be the situation, we will make the shining light within us shine brightly for God by honoring God, by obeying God's Commandments and by living as children as God, which is reflected from our thoughts, our words and our actions.

Your mother's love and blessings are always with you. God bless my precious children.
