an enjoyable Sunday
My wife shared the Word of God to the deaf faith fellowship. The numbers have stabilized to 40 plus after a year or so of fluctuating attendance due to a key leader leaving rather abruptly and unhappily, thus affecting other deaf members. Most times when someone else preaches in the main service, I try to visit one of the other services running concurrently, to do some preaching or just to sit through and get an idea of how they are doing. In this case it was to preach on the text John 10:10 and I took the context and explained the first part of the text, “The thief comes to steal, kill and destroy….†and I pass it to Jen to talk about the second part,â€â€¦but I am come that you might have life, and have it more abundantly.†I could see she was real calm and clear as she shared some principles illustrated with her life stories and I could see from the deaf members’ faces that they were encouraged. Then we prayed for those who responded and God was there to “rest†them.
Then we had a pleasant lunch with my godchildren, Jonathan and Eunice, and Joyce Leong their mum, over at my place, hearing their stories and updates. I must say they have matured and grown into independent and resourceful young adults, one passionate about his design course in Royal Melbourne Institute of Technolgy, the other running a budding business dealing with leather-bound journals (click here) being sold on-line as well as in a store. I notice that both of them have entrepreneur dreams and aspirations for the future, something most Singaporeans would find foreign, as they would rather take the safer route of being a “salarymanâ€. I think if they had stayed in Singapore they’d be just like one of us.
Is it the air in Australia or the vast opportunities it represents?
Is it too comfortable, stuffy or competitive in Singapore?
