St. Augustine's Mom
A moving story of St Augustine and his mother.

Matthew 7:11 If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!
If you have a family member who has yet to receive Christ, be persistent in your prayers because God is all-wise and He gives us whatever we desire that is according to His will. Not forgetting too, to be consistent in our faith and actions, to glorify God in everything we do, cos that's our responsibility as soldiers of Christ.
From Sunday's sermon:
To grab hold of God's promises, you need: 100% prayer +100% responsibility
May you once again be renewed with hope in the power of prayer, in the power of God!
Also, just like Augustine, we may think that our parents rob us of our freedom, but rmb! No parent would want to see their child go wayward and do nothing! I hope you see that just like Augustine’s mom, our parents are probably doing the same for us, if only we care to notice. Be thankful!:)
