He is like a tree planted by streams of water which yields its fruit in
season and whose leaf does not wither, whatever he does prospers.
Psalms 1:3
Plants are very essential for us. They exhale Oxygen that is a
necessity for all the living creatures. Plants that are deep rooted in the
soil produce a lot of fruits and give shades to others. Even the rain,
flood, or wind won't uproot the plant. A man who is deep rooted in Jesus
is like the house that the wise man built upon the rock. The rain, flood,
or the wind cannot destroy his foundation. And that foundation and the
rock is our lord JESUS CHRIST.
Let JESUS CHRIST be our foundation, that even when problems come to our
life, we won't fall and we will be like the tree planted by the water,
does not wither away, yield fruits for others, and prosper in every thing
we do.
- Johnson Yohannan

Jesus said, "I am the resurrection and life"

true believer, the courage of every martyr, the theme of every sermon and the
power of every Evangelist.

resurrection.

MOTHER'S DAY - SECOND SUNDAY OF MAY
The 2nd Sunday of May is celebrated as Mother's day in the United States. The
first time Mother's day was celebrated as a Church service for mothers in
Philadelphia in 1907.This celebration spread throughout the United States. In
1914 President Mr. Woodrow Wilson ordered all the Public buildings to have
American flag flown on this day and the celebration of Mothers day became
official in 1915.
Can you tell who is the most important person in your life? "
Mother". This is the spontaneous answer because nobody else has ever loved,
cared and cradled as your mother has. Mothers start loving their children from
the very moment they are aware of their pregnancy. They have to go through lot
of agonies to achieve the long lasting motherhood. All the mothers will give
sincere love and affection to their children. Children's character formation
mainly depends upon how much love and affection they get from their mother.
-Dr. Thampi P. Daniel.
