We have many overseas friends and it is always a joy to meet them for fellowship when they pass through Singapore. Yesterday, we had two friends, Lieut. Colonel Olive Lucas and her daughter Helen who called on us on their way home after visiting Vietnam. It was so kind and thoughtful of them to do so. They travelled all the way from the city by bus.
We worked together with Lieut. Colonel Lucas when she was appointed the Under Secretary for South Asia. She lived not far from us in Beckenham and we had been to each other's homes for meals and fellowship.
We recall many years ago, when she and her husband passed through Singapore. Her husband was a Salvation Army missionary doctor in India at that time. He was promoted to Glory while serving the Lord in India.
The time spent together yesterday passed very quickly. We talked about our many friends in England and in Australia and recalled the happy times spent with them. Thank God for friends who are committed to each other. The time passed very quickly but those were sacred moments when we shared fellowship.
I think of the day we shall meet our loved ones in Heaven. What a day of rejoicing that will be and we shall live in heaven for forever with the Lord. Praise be unto God.
