Hey, Raf, that's a great idea! I was actually thinking of getting one today and just listing "5 things I'm grateful for, 5 people to pray for, 5 things to ask for, and 5 things to praise God for." That's a pretty small number to start with, right? Should be doable!

Jennie: Ya, we have to tell people we love them and not expect anything in return. That was one of the lessons Mama taught me. She always smiled and greeted people and most of them would hurry away. I told her not to do that and she said, "You should be kind to others because that is what Jesus would want you to do, not because you want something back. You've done your part."

A very inspiring post. I do believe in the power of prayer. But unlike my mother who used to pray morning and night, at every meal, and every time anyone leaves the house, I only pray once a day and say grace at dinner time. I pray that you may always feel your mother's and God's presence in your daily life so that you'll always feel secure.

Hi! I read your posts and I feel for your loss. I've never really focused on the day that I'll be losing my mom but your post was so real and raw. Like really hearing it from a daughter. Now I'm scared.

Sending you good vibes..

Please update my link on your blog. :)
I jumped on the PPP bandwagon too.

Hi Fran, I feel for you. Let me just share what I have learned...

Our prayers are never powerful. The power of our prayers does not come from how fervently we pray but in believing in the God that we are praying to. He's the only one who can answer our prayers. Even if we pray but we lack the intimacy with our Father in heaven, then all our prayers are in vain. Praying need not be

I don't know what to say. I have been here twice since you last posted this. My heart breaks for you but I praise God for the hope that you have in your heart. Your mom has left a legacy in you. I love you my friend, and I will keep you in my prayers tlaga. I can only imagine how painful, it must be overwhelming a lot of times. Ako pa nga lang pag naiisip ko naiiyak na ako. Pano pa kayo. I

SusannaC: We are so blessed to have moms who pray. I love your mom already. And I think she is such a beautiful person to raise a lovely girl like you. Your blog is filled with so many exquisite thoughts and images--truly inspirational and moving.

Since losing a treasured friend two years ago,
I use candles when I think of her/talk to her.
There is something incredibly calming about it.

Sending many kind thoughts your way.

"Prayer doesn't change God; it changes me." For a quote from pop culture, that is so dead on and true.

I really do believe in the power of prayer, and I pray each morning. Though I'll confess sometimes I get scattered, and drift off... or back to sleep haha, but I still do it every morning, even when I don't feel like it.

Your mom reminds me of my mother in the way she prayed

Hi Frances, thanks for sharing the candle lighting website. You're right, the act of lighting a candle albeit virtually, is soothing.

May your prayers be answered. Take care :) - ria
