Yesterday we were pleased to have a number of visitors at our church and among them were some 'old girls' as we often refer to them. There was Lily Chan and her friend Gina. And there was Kum Fan whom we had not seen for a long time. We first knew her in the 70's; she was one of our young people at Central Corps. She met Russell Officer who was at that time attached with the New Zealand Armed Forces Band. Later they got married and are now settled in New Zealand. It was good to see her and her two grown up daughters at the meeting.
Of course folk like Wee Choo, Wee Cheng and Toh Soon were all very excited to see Kum Fan and Lily. It was a great reunion yesterday. And the talked and talked and talked! It was like old times - for Major Pascoe and us!
It makes me think how wonderful when one day we shall all meet in heaven for the grand reunion. I can imagine Jim Webb getting all these folk to have a musical in heaven, this time accompanied by angels playing harps. And picture Brian Corfied coming out with the drum. Yes, and many more of our folk who have already gone there. And they shall come from the east and the west and sit down at the kingdom of heaven.
