Remind me.
Lord,
I know that the season of abundance is already mine, and that I shall see it very soon. I trust it as the rising Sun. This is merely a request for you to remind me of today, when the answers to my prayers reach me , on that day!
Remind me, on that day when I will have table full of various dishes, cooked, baked, made, and a refrigerator full of a fresh stock of all kinds of healthy eats and drinks, of this day when I have a plate of food carefully made by my wonderful scrupulous mother, making sure we eat just the right amount so that we will save some for the next morning, and a refrigerator almost empty except maybe some eggs and tomatoes.
Remind me, on that day when I will have comfortable shoes, sandals and socks to wear, adequately for myself and also to give away, of this day how my mom and I wear the same old sandals to all the outfits we own, making sure our accessories and attitude match our contentment and peace.
Remind me, on that day when I will always have a full tank of gas, and could drive off to anywhere I wish, of this day when I limited my outings in car only to Church and back. [I'm thankful for my car, Father. Such a blessing she is to my family and my friends! Thank you!]
Remind me on that day when I will confidently live out each day as an act of pure worship to You and Your Purpose for my marriage, with my wise, succulent, God-fearing husband, of this day when You are strongly teaching me preparing me for that confidence, and that role of selfless love, humility and partnership by showing me how to be submissive to You and Your will.
Remind me, on that day when I can finally say, "Thank you Ammee, for all you've done. Now, let me take care of you.", of today, how my Mom and I strive and sweat each and every day to put food on our table still with a smile on our faces, and how I feel bad about not being able to provide for her completely.
Remind me, Father, on that day, when You tenderly would give me away to the man You have been preparing me for, of today, when I hold Your hand for protection, provision, security and strength, knowing that You and You alone, are unchanging, and that a "three fold cord does not break easily"
Remind me, on that day, when I would be living my kingdom-dreams, of the present, when I woke and spoke every day of your visions for my life..the very ones You have weaved into the fabric of my heart when You knitted me in my mother's womb.
Remind me , my Lord God, on that day when my entire family, ALL of them, would serve You and Your Kingdom, ardently, passionately , and regularly, of today, when all alone-sometimes feeling lonely- during my alone time with You, making sure my mother won't get agitated or disturbed, when my sister is away on missions, my brother is away studying, I proclaimed Your promise to me, and that "as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord!"
Remind me , on that day when acquaintances will be far too many to count, of today, when You, my courageous mother, and the few precious friends You have blessed me , were the ONLY ones who understood, helped, and stood with me in the storms.
Remind me , my magnificent Jesus, on that day when I will look back and see You have carried me through all life's hurdles and hardships, of today, when I bow down before You, trusting You, believing , that it is merely one day closer to "that day" :)
Yours for eternity,
