Today is a special day for us. We have been married 55 years. We thank God for bringing us together and enabling us to love and serve Him and minister in His name. To Him be the glory.
We met at The Salvation Army Youth Group. In those days we called the members Torchbearers.
So we were Torchbearers.
Our grand daughter Cheryl has posted on Face Book the article written by Clarissa Oon of the Sunday Times under the captain "Oasis in the City" featuring the House of Tan Yoke Nee at the junction of Penang Road and Clemenceau Avenue.
We were married in this building on Saturday 7th June 1958. We lived there for a short while when I was pastoring the church at Martaban Road.
Then as a married couple we moved to Penang and served in West and East Malaysia for 10 years before returning to Singapore to run the Central Corps (church) for four years followed by administrative work till the end of 1982. In January 1983, we were transferred to Hong Kong.
In Hong Kong we celebrated our Silver Wedding Anniversary! Five years ago as retired officers we celebrated our Golden anniversary.
Now in our old age, we look back and thank the Lord for these 55 years together. There has been no regrets but praise and thanksgiving to God for blessing us all these years. Will we live to celebrate our Diamond Anniversary? Only God knows but whatever happens we know we are in His hands.
We thank our many friends, local and overseas who have sent us greetings and their best wishes. God has blessed us with three children and six grand children. God has been good to us.
