Visiting old friends -4th Day of New Year.

Wednesday, while my wife was at Home League at Bukit Panjang celebrating the Lunar New Year with the ladies, I spent my time doing the laundry, cleaned the house and mopped the floor etc. Then after a quick lunch, I made my way to Bukit Panjang, and together we went to Yishun by bus to visit an elderly lady who is house-bound. Grace belongs to Central Corps (church) and her husband goes to the Chinese Corps (church) That took up practically the whole day.

She was very active in ministry during her younger days particularly in women's work. Although confined to a wheelchair, she displays a lovely spirit and is a blessing to all who visit her. We were blessed as we spent time with her in fellowship and prayer.

The Corps Secretary Terence and his wife Sze Hian had planned to visit us in the evening but Terence could not get away from his work. In the end only Sze Hian came. Life for the average working person is hectic asnd presurised, especially after the long weekend plus Monday and Tuesday being public holidays. We fully understand his position and took the thought for the deed.

Our Singapore known as 'the little red dot'  punches above its weight and to continue doing so makes heavy demands on all its citizens and people who reside here. Well no harm in being busy as long as we do not leave God out of our lives. We cannot live without Him who gives us strength. Yes, we need the Lord at all times.

"Thy shoes shall be iron and brass; as thy days so shall thy strength shall be" Deuteronomy 33: 25 (KJV)

We end the day thanking God for daily strength to do His will in reaching out to others. In ministering to others we have been mightily blessed. Thank You Lord.
