A Quiet night

The authorities are building the Hillview MRT station next to our Praisehaven. The workers are now digging even inside our compound. Just in front of us, there is the machinery for grinding granite or stones. The machine is on most of the time and certainly every night. We cannot open our windows because of the noise and dust! It's terrible.

But last night for some reason, the machine stopped. Oh how we enjoyed a night of peaceful sleep and I was able to open our bedroom windows to get some fresh air. Thanks be to God. Then this morning the machine started again. We are grateful for even one night of peace. Thank God for small mercies.

I pray that the Lord will grant us patience. In five years' time the train station will be in operation. How wonderful, we just walk out of the compound and into the station that will connect us to many parts of Singapore. That is - if we are still alive! We may not be around to enjoy the privilege, but never mind others can enjoy the blessing.
