Rainbow - Promise of blessing

During the day today

we have had rough weather with strong wind and rain and thunders.

In some parts of our area hails have tallen.



Toward the evening the weater improved, a big ranibow has appeared !

This has been shown soon after the Israel team returned safely in the new year of our church.

I will hold on to the promise of blessing !

Hakuba Camp

We have been to Hakuba in Nagano prepecture!

We had rainy days there but that brought us a relief from heat.



We have had lots of blessings!





We have many programs in our church camp and one of them is Gospel competition where selected gospel groups of our church group throughout the country gather together.

It was amazing! God's anointing was there!

I was so strengthened and refreshed.

I give thanks to the Lord for this opportunity to participate in the camp.

To Shimane 2

We have come to the church our mother attends.

This church is an important cultural property!!




The average age of the church members is over 80!

The pastor is sill young and active; he once attended the UNESCO or World Associations conference.

He also got an invitation to speak at a church in NY.




The pastor kindly has given us a tour of the church and up to its spire.

We have had a chance to pray for each other there. Grateful.

My husband has prayed for blessing on the church as well as a marriage for the pastor without being asked. :)

To Shimane

I have been to the home town of my husband's.

I really enjoyed the 8-hour train trip against my expectation!





Come to think of it, Japan is mountainous.

I got attracted by the beauty of fresh greens of the mountains.


Surprisingly enough, it went up to as high as 35℃

though it is located in the deep mountain area.


My mother-in-law is still in good shape!


My brother-in-law who doesn't believe God yet have given us a prayer request.

I am thankful for his heart to ask us for prayer and

we keep praying for his salvation.

Safe arrival at Tokyo

(At the gate of Air Canada in Newark Airport)

On boarding the plane, we have found out somehow our seats were not on isle.

Also, we got to know now the requesting seats would be charged.

However, we have had our seats switched on the isle side at the counter without a fee!

Thank God for that. It makes a big difference on a long-hour flight.


In Tokyo I have seen my mom who looked much better than last year!

I am thankful to God, feeling many of my prayer got answered:

ease of jet-lag, protection from intense heat, etc.

Double Rainbow

Today's weather forecast was unusual; there would be a tornado in the northern New York.

In the evening it suddenly got dark and started pouring.


At 7:55 pm when I was getting ready to attend online the first service of Tokyo Antioch Church,

it suddenly became bright outside. There was a rainbow!




I rushed out of the apartment and took some shots of the rainbow!





Once I returned home and looked outside from the window,

the rainbow became brighter and clearer! I went out again.






After all, the double rainbow had appeared and stayed for about 20 minutes!

I gave thanks to God for Revival!!

Trip to Boston

We visited Boston the capitol of State of Massachusetts.

Boston is the European-like beautiful compact city.



It is my first visit and asked as many as 10 people for directions;

all the people I have asked were very kind,

which is so different from New York, though there are some kind people in NY as well.



I just can't believe that terror attack happened in such a beautiful relaxed city as this with full of kind people.



We sang praises on the hill of the central park, praising God's victory♪♪♪



Then we headed for a market.



Clam chowder was so tasty！

It looks like a simple hot dog, but inside is robuster meat! It was best!



In spite of the rainy forecast, it turned out to be very fine.

We have been completely protected throughout the visit.

I felt the prayer of some people I had asked to pray for us.

Thank God and their prayers!

Visiting Dr. W

We visited Dr. W who used to be my husband's ear doctor, now retired;

he looked very well.

To our surprise, he tells us that he had a surgery of implanting a pacemaker the previous week.


Now he can speak loud and he is as well as he used to be, working as a doctor!


He says that right before the operation, he felt powerless and relied on Almighty God;

and that he is glad to have got the operation, now without shortness of breath.


We have been praying for him in case he might have a surgery.

I give thanks to God for the successful operation and the good condition he is in now!

Blessing of Thanksgiving

The sky today looks as picturesque as if it was painted on the canvas.


By the way, my husband is in a bad mood when he wakes up in the morning.

I don't like him around me in his bad temper,

but that has changed!

maybe it began to happen more clearly after he participated in the Christian gathering

called Thank, Praise & Revival Camp held in Los Angeles every March.



Since then he has begun to seek in giving thanks in all circumstance;

when he wakes up, he sings a praise song called "The Kingdom Song:"

♪ When you wake up in the morning, the first thing you wanna do is to thank God

Life is a gift from heaven, you can't stop singing from your heart ♪



Not only in the morning, he is less and less grumpy throughout the day.

He himself notices his heart has been greatly changed for better.

It is miraculous in my eyes! I give thanks and praise to the Lord!!
