God’s Faithfulness
It was another lovely morning. As I set myself to jog in this nature-like park where we always go, I gazed at the horizon (I love doing this every time I am here). The sea shone like crystals where it met the clear sky with a few cotton-like clouds. It was indeed a magnificent view.…
