Fathers needed
Last week I see the need of fathers to rise up and take their place in this world. I was reading a book “Tender Warrior” few days back before youth service, and I saw the statistics on how many people out there have actually grow or already grew up without a father in their life.
And how many don’t have a father to look up to during their youth. This could carry on to the next few generation if there’s no one to invest in their lives and to fill in the gap as a father. And this is not right. Everyone deserves a Father.
And on the 27/05/12 Sunday afternoon, the movie Courageous was screened during our youth service. And again i see the need of fathers to rise up. In order for the promise of a Thousand to be fulfil in our Youth Ministry, we need Fathers, Spiritual Fathers, Mentors and Friends. I personally want to fill in this need, and I AM making this a resolution to fill in this need! I can’t do this alone. Won’t you join me?
Where are you, Man of Courage?
Hope you’ve been blessed. (:
My beloved grandma has passed away last week. Its been a tough struggle to accept that she has passed away.
Over the past few days, i am reminded of how grandma would travel down to our home with her domestic helper all the way to pasir ris just cook lunch for me and my little brother before school. These are just the little things grandma used to have done for us when she is still able to walk and see clearly.
My grandma really inspired me to love Jesus more and more everyday. She never fails to pray to Him everyday. And she always tell me to pray everyday. But mama is in good hands now.
Over the past three weeks, its really painful on the inside to see mama trying her very best to keep herself alive to see my youngest aunty for the last time who is at England undergoing chemotherapy.
Whenever i visited mama at the hospital, she would grabbed hold of our hands and refuses to let go. Even till she falls asleep, i thought i could let go my hands. Slowly as i loosen my hands, she would immediately grab our hands even tighter than it was before. I believed she was too afraid to lose any of us. One day, she told this to my dad in cantonese “Francis, im afraid i cant look after you any more, take good care of yourself.” my dad weeped immediately.
Every year after Mass at church we would buy flowers for mama on every Mother’s day. She looks so happy receiving flowers from us every Year. But im not able to give her flowers anymore.
The love God has blessed me with through my grandma is really really amazing. She teaches me how to be faithful in the little things and to love one another uncondtionally since young. There are unending things i can speak of my Grandma down here. But im still thankful that she is in good hands. :)
I love you Mama,
Happy Mother’s Day, Mama! (:
Thank You Lord.
With a grateful heart
With a song of praise
With an outstretch arms
I will bless Your name
No greater love than Yours
How many times have i broken Your heart. Still You forgive even when i dont ask. Now tell me where can i find another love greater than Yours. No where, no where else i can find such a love like Yours.
Ship-like-life
Life is like a ship. The further you are away from land, the tougher the sea state gets. The further you are away from God, the tougher your life gets. Be close to Him.
