When I was in Taiwan, sitting in my room in front of my laptop computer, one time I had a chat with a friend on Yahoo messenger, I asked her, “how old are your parents?” Then she told me how old are her parents. And I suddenly realized that my parents are already reached 60. My father even almost reached 70, he is 67 now, and my mother is 63.
They have been working for more than 35 years but after all these time, they never enjoyed the money they have earned. My father my father has already been to China once, on 1985. But my mother never went abroad. I have a book that called My Dream Book. And since one of my dream is to take my parents to travel around the world, including to China in October 2007, so then I put that wish in my dream book together with their big-size picture. Come on that way I also pray to God, hope that He may answer my prayer. I always try to visualize every dream I have on that book, write them clearly, coz I believe that it is can also be considered as a way to help me to fulfill my dream. And do you know the prestigious miracle that I got? On March' 07, I really step my feet on the china mainland, and this time my parents are also with me, as well as my aunty. Even though I still haven't had the chance to use my own money to pay for their trip, but I still thank the Lord for all of His kindness so that I could have passed my precious moments in china with my parents. What The Lord has planned in my life is always been amazing for me. We visited Hong Kong, Macao, and Beijing. When we visited the Great wall in Beijing, this what I called the second miracle, since everybody said that there wouldn't be anymore snow during march, so I really couldn't believe that we finally had the chance to see, touch, and feel how soft the snow is. Those happy faces will always attach in my heart and will never been forgotten for the rest of my life. The snow might mean nothing, but the feeling that you've got when you saw your parents' face while they were showing such a very big smile, that is called Lord's blessing. We live in the country that will never given us a chance to see snow, coz there is no snow in Indonesia. But there's nobody can deny His fantastic plan for our lives. He knows everything, He knows what we need. Even though what He gives sometimes seems to be very far from what do we want, but always try to keep the faith that "Whatever He gives to us is never ever without meaning" Thanks so much Lord. ![]() Fendi Heri Yanto Holy Breakfast |

Thanks for that message and I thank God that you are able to take your parents around. It brought tears to my eyes as I remember when I was young and I took my mother to so many places in Europe, UK and all around Canada. Those are the memories that you will cherish forever.
God Bless. Oh and by the way if you want to see snow...... come to Canada.... We can accomodate.LOL
