Why this mess?

A christian friend shared with me her frustration when she reached home late one night.  Her mother had been throwing too many toilet papers into the toilet bowl and when she told her mother not to do that, she became angry and thought that she did not want her anymore. Most of us can identify with this friend's experience especially when we are rendering care to our elderly.

He confessed that he is a sinner and he wants to believe in Jesus Christ. He also wants his sister and father to believe the Lord Jesus Christ too. Our dear sister asked the Lord to grant her son "easy" breathing because he has difficulties in breathing. Miraculously, at his final hour, he seemed to have gotten some strength to breath better and he managed to sing "Amazing Grace" together with her mother.  Praise the Lord that HE is the GOD of Peace and Comfort. I was wondering that during his last mo
