Peacehaven

Good to be able to visit Peacehaven again after absence of three weeks because of the HINI virus. Pleased to see our Poh Chin again. She was in the swimming pool with Anthony Yeo having her hydrotherapy. She was walking in water with Anthony Yeo, salvationist of Changi Corps. What a sight to behold. I watched from the upstairs window and thank God again for Peacehaven and the many carers. I could hear the Lord saying once again to these wonderful caring people "I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers (and sisters) of mine, you did it for me."

We conducted two chapel services. You should be there to hear the singing from some of the elderly. Perhaps not quite in tune, but the radiance on their faces, told us they were certainly in tune with God. And that is all that matters! The message was given in Cantonese, Hokkien and English. So many have come to know the Lord Jesus since coming to the Home.

We joined the staff for lunch. The cook Patrick a wonderful Christian gave us all a treat to celebrate his son David's first birthday. It must cost him a lot personally to provide for so many people but he said, "Never mind" he said, "the Lord has been good to us and we want to share His blessings." Patrick is always beaming with joy and it's great to see him. To cook for 400 residents plus staff is no easy task, but it is always service with smile. The joy of the Lord is our strength.

We go to Peacehaven to minister, instead we are always being ministered to by the staff, nurses and residents. God always provide us with opportunities to share His blessings with others.
