Orange and Purple

Ecc 3:1 For everything there is a season, 
and a time for every matter under heaven... 

In Tagaytay, it is a time to bloom... 
everywhere plants are in full array. 
















For me, it is a time to step back...
a time for silence and study, 
and a time to sing and worship;
a time to disconnect from the cold,
a time to reconnect to the warm;
a time for uncertainty,
yet also a time of profound peace.


Lord, I don't know the details of the plans
you have for me, but I know 
they are plans to prosper 
and not to harm me, 
plans to give me a future full of hope.
Grant me the grace to follow your lead. 
Guide me to the right decisions. 
Bless the work of my hands. 
This I ask in Jesus' name. Amen.

Cherubim Red

Psalm 99:1 
The LORD is king; let the peoples tremble! 
He sits enthroned upon the cherubim; let the earth quake!


Lord, God of hosts,
we worship you alone.
Have mercy on your people.
Let not the earth tremble anymore. 
Provide food and water to those in need.
Comfort those who have lost loved ones.
Grant eternal rest unto those who passed.
Build up what has been devastated. 
This we ask in Jesus' name. Amen.

Brown. Green.

All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful,
The Lord God made them all.
