Today at around 6.45 AM as I was driving to church, this beautiful song came on the radio. One of those songs that will touch your soul. Perhaps it was the quiet of the early hour, or the anticipation of worship, but every word resonated, filling me with a sense of peace and purpose. Those are the moments you cherish, when a simple melody transcends and reminds you of God's or someone you love's presence, even before you've stepped through the church door, or walked out into the sunshine.
Have a listen.
Happy Sunday.

PENTECOST SUNDAY
Today is Pentecost Sunday, which is the celebration of the "birthday of the Church." The Holy Spirit descended upon the Apostles and Mary in the Upper Room in the form of tongues of fire and a mighty wind, fifty days after Jesus' Resurrection. This empowered them to boldly proclaim the Gospel, beginning with Peter's sermon, which led to 3,000 baptisms that day.

The story of a girl born to a young woman with remarkable beauty. A few days after her birth, her Grandfather, a high school headmaster, went to register her birth.
However, the registrar misspelt the child's surname on the document.When her parents discovered the error, they asked the grandfather to change it. He refused, saying, "Leave it as it is spelt in the document. The child is set apart from the rest." The girl's mother was saddened as it was her first child. However, the grandfather was the head and authority of the household, and everyone listened to him.
In a dramatic turn, the car they travelled in met with a terrible accident. Miraculously, the family survived. The child died and was brought back to life. An Angel of God rescued her.
