Dicey days ahead

I realize I suck at human relationships.  My alien uncle coming to Singapore and wanted to stay with me.  But his daughter now lives in Singapore and she has a spare room and welcomes him.  He prefers to stay with me.  My own family thinks it's not right, plus they worry for me since I stay alone and he has been mentally unstable in recent years.  I would prefer if he spent some time with his daughter and granddaughter - that's the right thing to do.  For all my emailing/SMSing, I fail.  He's still going to be in my hair.

This morning I prayed for patience and tolerance.  The next 2 weeks are going to be rough - it's a first for me in my new pad.  As Michelle puts it, I can't strut naked around.  Not that I do, but then I caught myself doing that, thought of Michelle's words and had to laugh out loud.

After my early morning conf call, I listened to Hillsongs for a bit before going to work.  And today's readings from Psalm 145 :

I will extol you, my God and king;

I will bless your name forever and ever.

Every day I will bless you;

I will praise your name forever and ever.

Great is the LORD and worthy of much praise,

whose grandeur is beyond understanding.

One generation praises your deeds to the next

and proclaims your mighty works.

They speak of the splendor of your majestic glory,

tell of your wonderful deeds.

They speak of the power of your awesome acts

and recount your great deeds.

They celebrate your abounding goodness

and joyfully sing of your justice.

The LORD is gracious and merciful,

slow to anger and abounding in mercy.

The LORD is good to all,

compassionate toward all your works.

All your works give you thanks, LORD

and your faithful bless you.

They speak of the glory of your reign

and tell of your mighty works,

Making known to the sons of men your mighty acts,

the majestic glory of your rule.

Your reign is a reign for all ages,

your dominion for all generations.

The LORD is trustworthy in all his words,

and loving in all his works.

The LORD supports all who are falling

and raises up all who are bowed down.

The eyes of all look hopefully to you;

you give them their food in due season.

You open wide your hand

and satisfy the desire of every living thing.

The LORD is just in all his ways,

merciful in all his works.

The LORD is near to all who call upon him,

to all who call upon him in truth.

He fulfills the desire of those who fear him;

he hears their cry and saves them.

The LORD watches over all who love him,

but all the wicked he destroys.

My mouth will speak the praises of the LORD;

all flesh will bless his holy name forever and ever.
