Miss Jha (right) is my mother 's friend and
occasionally attends our church too.
She has been a teacher and headmistress of the Methodist School
since the past 28 years.
She is past retirement age but continues to
work.
On Friday was her birthday, so we invited
her for dinner. Her family lives
far away in a neighbouring state.
Miss Jha is a very godly and wise lady.
Its been a tradition in her
family to dedicate the first born
male children for the Lord 's service.
I baked her a cake
Mixed vegetable soup
(counter wise from the top)
cucumber salad, idlis (South Indian Rice cakes),
Spaghetti , dosas (South Indian stuffed crepes)
coconut chutney, hot lentils called sambar.
The South Indian food
I ordered from a restaurant.
Please pray for Miss Jha.
Her school is undergoing changes
and her job is at stake.
She is looking for new options.
May she find a good job and
a safe place to live.
Psalm 68:6
God sets the lonely in families (BIBLE)
12 Fertilize my soul:
I will gladly pray for her. I'm so glad that God cares for us and is able to meet all our needs!
Your meal looks delicious Amrita. I hope you had a wonderful visit.
Dear Amrita,
How sweet of you to honor Miss Jha with a great birthday treatment.
Your are indeed such a lovely person, caring for so many who need attention.
I will pray for Miss Jha, that the mission who she has served for so many years, also must feel responsible and find her a good retirement position.
It will be unworthy not to do that, especially for a Christian Church.
May the Lord bless you all this "silent week".
From Felisol
For elder people it is difficult to change even small things in life. I will pray for her.
I will Amrita, and God bless you as well.
Thank you for your prayers for Miss Jha. Her desire is to keep on working till she is physically fit. She lives very frugally. She doesn 't have a fridge and cooks her simple meals on a kerosene stove.
Dear Fekisol, I like the way you named Holy Week - silent week.
We have evening prayer meetings in different church homes. Last night we had our turn.
On Thurs there is communion in church , then Good Fri morning service.
May God's love and peace continually surround Miss Jha as she lives each day.
What a lovely birthday celebration you gave her and the food all looks delicious, making me want to look up some Indian recipes online.
I love your header picture. Just beautiful, it touches my heart.

its wonderful you were able to honor her in such a way on her birthday..and yes, its difficult for older folks especially to find work, We have the same problem in this country..I will be praying that the Lord leads her to the right place..I know He will...hugs
it sounds like you all had sweet fellowship - along with good food!
What a lovely birthday lunch. Adding Miss Jha to my prayer list. Somewhere there is someone praying for an employee like her. Take good care!
What a lovely thing to do for your friend. God bless her that she is still working...God will care for her and provide for her certainly.
Dear Amrita,
I've given you the Kreativ Blogger Award!
