My 21 month old niece, Angel, who was suffering from cancer, went to be with the Lord this morning. She was battling cancer for about 6 months now. Cancer was first detected in her liver but later they found cancel cells in her lungs and finally in her brain too. She received chemotherapy at CMC, Vellore. It is sad that she is no more with us but at the same time we know that we will meet her one day. (2Sa 12:23 But now he is dead, … I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me.) Also though we do not understand everything that happens in our lives we know that “all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose” (Rom 8:28). Also Isa 55:8 & 9 says, “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. “

God also provided them wisdom and ability to move all things safely. Praises be to His name alone!

Though legally we are now free to vacate just like that, verbally we have given indication to the house owner that we wish to stay on. Due to some reasons we had an idea to move to Chrish’s father’s place (the tenants were supposed to move out by end December and after some refurbishments we wanted to move in next year). However the tenants moved out by November and hence Chrish’s father was insisting that we not renew this agreement. More...
