Letter to the Herald: In thanksgiving

11/22/2013 by Hawaii Catholic Herald

Sometimes relaxing in the lanai on the top of our building, I could see the sky, the mountains and water below. Also most especially people and vegetation and other living things of nature (God’s creation).

I am so thankful for being born and experiencing the gift of life in this place and time in the history of the world. I am amazed at the beauty of God’s creation, even if I cannot truly comprehend or understand or even imagine the mystery and power of God.

It gives me the courage and trust to praise God, and the wisdom and grace to live fully every moment of life.

I thank and praise God forever.

Silvestre R. Lim
