1 Corinthians 13:4-7,13
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres….
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
Norma Ching is a retired teacher. In 1997 she had a major stroke and a brain surgery the year after. With God’s mercy, she got miraculously healed and spiritually empowered.
Through the years the Holy Spirit has given Norma the gift of writing poems. What’s amazing is that her Son, Patrick Ching, got a gift of painting and He was able to make beautiful drawings for Norma’s book that became a perfect illustration for every poem that was written. God had truly orchestrated the whole thing and let this beautiful book to be published.
Every word and every sentence comes straight from the Master’s heart and the whole book is inspired with His love and kindness. The paintings represent local Hawaiian flora and wildlife which makes the book even more charming and uplifting.
You can find this beautiful collection of poems on Amazon and on Patrick Ching’s website along with the gallery of his paintings that are on sale.

I told my friends that I’d catch up with them in a little bit. Continue reading “Walks with God”
Isaiah 64:8
Yet you, Lord, are our Father.
We are the clay, you are the potter;
We are all the work of your hand.
