Visit to Peacehaven

After an absence of three weeks because of medical appointments, we were back at Peacehaven Nursing Home this morning. What a joy to greet Madam Low Mui Lan the hard working Executive Director. She has boundless energy, excellent administrative skills, a heart of compassion for people. I believe she is here with The Salvation Army for such a time as this.

We saw our daughter Dora Poh Chin at PARTRIDGE Residents' Lounge Area. She was in a wheel chair waiting to have her hair cut. Volunteers were there to cut the hair of the residents. We thank God for the kind hearted ladies who give of their time to bless our residents.

We then made our way to SPARROW Residents' Lounge Area for Chapel Service. We were met by a young lady at the door, one of the students of Nanyang Polytechnic sent to the Home for training. She had a lovely smile, and greeted us warmly. Somehow from her demeanour and brief conversation, I knew she was a good Christian. In response to my enquiry, she told me she belonged to the River Life Church. Miss Chau Man Kam, that's her name, entered wholeheartedly into the chapel service. We were greatly encouraged today and I believe God put her there not only for her training in looking after the residents but for our encouragement. We were truly blessed today.

Today we hear so much about youth, their thoughtlessness and rebelliousness. We see on television screen youth on the rampage. But I believe there are many youths today like Chau Man Kum who really care for others and are doing much for society.
