thanksgiving
i'm blessed by the little thing in life, such as:
the people around me; my family, lifegroup, district, friends, & many more :')
the blessings God has gracefully given; a sanctified life!
i'm indeed privileged to be serving my King!
i hope as you are reading my stories, you will be encouraged, and soften your
hearts towards Jesus
i've a lot on mind, but i'll add them on as day passes by!
breakfast with love :-)!
" 要有爱心, 才会开心. ”
just want to thank God for showing me so much in this activity of serving in the community.
my first time serving in breakfast with love, i am sure to say that it was an extraordinary experience compared to the normal CIP in school and stuffs.
truth to be told, at first i was reluctant to go because it was like 730AM, and i had to wake up at 5/6AM which is like HUH, because even schooldays i wake up at 650, let alone a saturday rainy MORNING...
but at the end i think the spirit really prompted me to go, and indeed it was refreshing for me. what happened was, i was serving as an usher with the other peeps, welcoming, the elderlies, communicating with them and serving them food.
as far as i thought( at that point of time ) elderlies always have a 臭臭脸(?) haha.
but as i interact with them, i felt a struggle inside my heart, that i was taking so many things for granted. it was definitely worth it waking up at 5/6AM after seeing the smiles on their faces :-).
after bwl, those elderlies came to the cc to collect a box of daily needs back home, so some of us paired up and helped them to carry back home.
so me and haoyar paired up and helped this uncle carry home his package, and because he was walking very slowly as he was on crutches and quite a long dist from cc to his house.
on our way to his house, this ah gong so genuinely pour out his life to us. he told us about his past, what occupation he had and stuffs. then i asked some questions which his answers really led me to think a lot,
qn: " 你家里有谁?"
ans: " 没有啦, 我自己一个人住.. "
as i heard his reply, the first tear rolled down my cheeks, 80+ y/o, living by his own, with no children.
qn: ” 你在家里做什么, 看电视阿 ☺️? "
ans: " 什么电视, 都没有钱, 家里只有, 一个床, 两个椅子, 一张小桌子 "
i was thinking, huh... i can't possibly live with no tv at home, i asked him why and it's because he only get $450 a month from the welfare, this money is only enough for him to pay his rent, bills and food.
no companion, no entertainment, i can't possibly live my daily life without this, but yet at times i complain, i 嫌弃.
taking so many things for granted.... and yet he didn't, and yet he's thankful and contended for the things he have..
this really taught me when it means to be thankful.
God, i just really want to thank You for this experience, and the things You've blessed me with. God may you just bless this uncle, that he may walk with more ease... in Jesus name, amen.
