Mom is loved by Father,
When she forgot to turn off the stove in the kitchen one time and left it for 12 hours, the house didn't burn down, and the stew that she was cooking was not burnt.
Mom is loved by Father,
When she left the garage door remote on top of the car trunk one time and drove all the way to work. It was still sitting on top of the car trunk when she found it after work.
Mom is loved by Father,
When her biggest wish during this trip was to see snowfall, (because she's never seen snowfall in her entire life), she saw snowfall, at the end of March, for 2 hours, in a 40 degree, sunny day.
Mom is loved by Father,
When she lost her cell phone yesterday and was convinced that she had only put it in her jacket pocket and that it must have slipped off when we had our road trip the day before... I thought, this time, there couldn't be another miracle, could it?
Mom went to church that morning with us. She couldn't understand English very well, so she just sat in the sanctuary, praying quietly the whole time. She was worried, I know. She regretted not being more careful. She hated herself for being so forgetful all the time.
She was asking for a miracle, from Father.
When we came back home, we searched the house a bit more.
After giving up on the search, we went upstairs. Suddenly, we heard her screamed, "I found it!" Quickly, we ran downstairs in disbelieve.
Her phone was sitting at the very bottom of her suitcase, which she didn't open or touch the whole day before. She was shocked, we were shocked.
Father showed her another miracle, I thought. She didn't deserve it, just like we don't deserve anything our Father gives us, but He always does.
This Father is our God. Father, Jesus, Holy Spirit 3 in 1.
He is love.
We are saved by Him and loved by Him.

Mom
It's different to see mom this time. She got older, and so did I. I can take care of her now as an adult.
I drove her to places she's never been before.
I showed her things that she's never seen before.
I bought her foods she's never tasted before.
It was good to spend time with mom again. Occasionally I looked at her and wondered about the fact that I came out of this woman. I love her. She's my mommy! She loves God, she loves people, and she loves me especially.
My photography site has lots of pictures of mom. Cheers to weekend!

Life In Boston
After two weeks of being back in Boston, I finally feel comfortable again in my own house. Instead of the word "comfortable", maybe "numb" is more suitable for the description. It's a strange feeling, having to leave family to be simply lonely again. Sometimes I wonder why we do this to ourselves? I heard people who went to see the movie Avatar 16 times, and they couldn't get enough of Pandora, the world where we're one with nature, where community, family bonds are of the utmost importance. Until, of course, the humans invaded them, and then it's all about MONEY again...
1 Timothy 6:10 says, "For the love of MONEY is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for MONEY, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs. "
2 Timothy 3:2 says, "People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of MONEY, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,"
Hebrew 13:5 says, "Keep your lives free from the love of MONEY and be content with what you have, because God has said, 'Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.'"
What has our world become?
Because of MONEY, people got exploited, nature got exploited, families got divided. Children are growing up without parents ever being home. People are suing one another. Companies are suing one another, countries are against one another. Then weapons are made to destroy one another. People are turning to alcohol, drugs, work, (oh yeah, work is an addiction too). Even Mother-nature is giving up on us. Soon, we're going to have no ozone layer, and the glaciers will all melt away, we're all going to run out of oil in the ground, the ocean will be filled with our toxic wastes, animals will extinct one species at a time, and the world is going to lose its natural balance, then what...
Everybody already knows all these knowledge and far more, but as long as the big bucks are still with the giant corporations of the world, we're all heading for doom. Bible is right in the end. Money IS the source of all evil.
So why can't we just move to be closer to our family? Yes, it's because of work, our jobs, where we can make MONEY. Without the security of it, we cannot just relocate, even if it is to be with our family. This is our world, our cruel, cruel world.
Some people say, there is no God, because if there is God, why would God let all this evil to happen in the world?
... ...
Well, that is because humans think they're God, and that they're capable of running this world they call home. So far they've only brought damage and destruction onto it.
God, where is He? He is waiting for us to turn back to Him... anytime.

Pictures Finally
So I promised to post pictures of my birthday. Here they are.
This is a fruit tart Tim bought for me as my birthday cake. My favorite. Um..um..um....yummy!
These orchids have a story. So the on Thursday night, the day before my birthday, Tim took me to Aquitaine for a fancy dinner to celebrate an early birthday. Because on Friday night, my actually birthday, he was taking me to the Lion King Broadway musical, and so we weren't going have comfortable amount of time to eat a nice dinner and then get to the opera house, let along the fact that I still had to take the train to get to the city to find him after work. Well, so then back to the French restaurant scene. I waited for him in the shopping plaza where the restaurant was just to kill time before his train would come in. He called me and found out the store I was in, ran to the car where I parked, and hid the bouquet in the trunk. When he met me inside the store, he pretended that nothing happened. After dinner, he finally gave me the bouquet as we got into the car to go home. He told me that he was going to tell the waiter of Aquitaine to put it on our table before I go in, but the restaurant wasn't open yet when he first got there, that was why he had no other choice but to hide it in the car.
Then on Saturday, we went to the White Mountains in New Hampshire for some outdoor picnic. Pictures are found in my picture blog.
There you go, the whole weekend celebration of my birthday. I cannot thank God enough.
