It's always a wonderful blessed day at Peacehaven ministering to the sick, the disabled and the needy. The Lord has given us 16 years of ministry at this nursing Home where our youngest daughter is one of the residents. She will be 44 years old next month and still unable to care for herself and even talk.
But she is wonderfully cared for by the staff and nurses and certainly the chaplain Jimi who visits her and sings to her. What a beautiful sight to see our chaplain Jimi Tan sitting beside her and playing his guitar and singing to her and the other residents.
Earlier on we were conducting chapel service in another area of the Home.
Most of the residents want to talk not that I mind listening the same story every time. Today I was detained by a man confined to a wheel chair, a Mr. Yu who related his story. He is now 78. At the age of 13 he suffered from polio and became paralysed. Then his father died during the Japanese occupation and his widowed mother brought up the three children. They were too poor to go to school.
Later they moved to Singapore. After his mother's death, his younger brother cared for him. They had to employ a maid. God in a wonderful way, opened the way for him to attend the Peacehaven Bedok Day Care centre and now he is living at our Peacehaven Nursing Home. He knows the Lord, there is no word of complaint but full of praise and thanksgiving to the Lord who still provides.
The morning passed very quickly as moved from one Living area to another chatting and praying with the folk. In blessing others we have been truly blessed. We thank God for health and strength to work for Him.
