Today is a special day for our grandson Daryn Emmanuel. He starts his national service as all young men are expected to do. Singapore is a small country and cannot afford a large standing army, so all young men have to serve in this way and later continue with reservist training. As citizens we enjoy the privileges of our country, and it is right we carry our out responsibilities.
He completed is IB course at ACS (Independent) then did his internship at the Ministry of Law for two months. He worked right up to yesterday. We give thanks to God for our grandson who works very hard in his studies. He is very focussed in all that he does. He loves the Lord.
The family went to Tekong to see the barracks. We were not able to see him off, but we have been thinking and praying for him.
Daily we thank God for our family. Every morning when I wake up the first people I pray for are our children and grandchildren. We do not pray for them to be rich, clever or successful. We pray that they will love the Lord and seek first God's Kingdom. For when we seek first God's kingdom all other things will be added to us.
