What a joy it was to visit our good friend and long time Salvationist - Sister Lim Kim Lui at her Ang Mo Kio home on her 90th birthday today. I went there to pray with her on this special day. At 90 she is still very alert although somewhat frail physically, but she is well able to look after herself and her own needs.
She lives with Joy, her very filial daughter and also faithful Salvationist. Both of them never miss a meeting at Central Corps on Sunday. I first met Joy when I was sent to Malacca as a cadet to do our field training way back in 1954. She is still faithfully serving the Lord. Praise be to God.
We talked about the good old days; we recalled many names of old friends who have gone to be with the Lord. As we talked we thank and bless the Lord for His wonderful grace and mercy.
When a good friend walks beside us
On the road that we must keep,
Our burdens seem less heavy
And the hills are not so steep.
The weariest miles pass swiftly,
Taken in a joyous stride.
Amd all the world seems brighter
When a friend walks by your side.
We thank God for our many friends in Singapore and overseas. E C Burke says,
"Of all the joys we bring into our lives, there is none so joyous as that which comes to us as a result of caring for others and brightening sad lives."
