Frozen Amaryllis

What a beautiful Spring! The weather has been gorgeous lately. The trees have new leaves and the grass turned green again like a magic. It amazes me that nature is always faithful whether the previous winter was harshly cold or not. I have had a pot of amaryllis for several years. It blooms regardless if we were in Bloomington, IN or in Richmond Hill. However, I totally forgot to put the pot insede during this last bitter winter. It seemed totally dried and frozen dead when I found it last month. I felt guilty that I neglected it. After we came back from our spring break trip to Indiana, Joanne screamed out loud "Mom!

How can I even close to understand the love? However, I am honored, I am blessed, and I got the victory through Jesus my Savior. It is a true grace that a sinner like me got to get the eternal life because His grace! In my home church in Korea used to go out to spread the Gospel on Easter Sunday right after the services. We brought bulletin written for evangelism to the people. I was shy sometimes, could not go to say a word to tell them about my Jesus. However, I did try give the bulletin at least and say "Jesus loves you and please accept Jesus as your Savior." Whether we are six years old or eighty years old, we all went to outside right after Easter service. It was our tradition of Easter. I miss t
