More Thanksgiving Points

Yesterday, a cab-driver who has been sending a resident to school daily bought a packet of pau for me from Alexandra road. I was pleasantly surprised! I remember the first day she came, she was all flustered and said that she lost her way. Overtime, we have build a rapport with each other and everyday when she comes, she will feedback to me about the child and in recent weeks, asked me about my work. I thank God for this angel in disguise and it makes me realise that it is important not to dismiss someone due to a bad first impression. Probably that person was having a bad day? Perhaps something rubbed us the wrong way? I thank God for this auntie who has a big heart to bless.

Thanksgiving point: An angel in disguise

As I look back at the months that have passed,  I thank God how he planned my schedule in such an amazing way. In the month of october (right after my intense mth of lessons in Sept), I have 5 new admissions in total, which means a lot of work, yes. Cos each new admission requires me to do the initial work (orientation, admin, report, court hearings etc). Being a planner, I tend to want to be in control by planning things in advance so I dun stress myself at the last minute but God has His plans, and I can safely trust in Him. I thank God that the admissions did not come in Sept. Trust in the Lord and lean not on your own understanding and He will straighten your paths.

Jinghe's Birthday Celebration @ District 10

Happy 29th Birthday to you, Jinghe! One more year to the big 3 :)

If I were a tree...

If I were a tree, which one will I be? What starts out as a common or strange-looking seed will eventually bloom into a beautiful tree, reflecting its purpose. With the right climate and the right amount of rain and sunlight that is. Regardless, in its timing, the identity will be shown clearer with increasing growth.

Evergreen trees:

Trees where its leaves are always green despite the climatic condition of the season. They include; pine, cedar and the spruce trees.

Flowering trees

They produce flowers which create a pleasing scenery from the different colours of flowers. They include; pawpaw, cheery, mimosa tree among others.

Willow trees

They grow in moist areas like river banks and grow very fast. Their leaves provide food for wild animals while others are used in making ornaments. Its wood is also used for different purposes. They have male and female flowers which lack sepals and petals.

Shade trees

They are commonly known to provide shade and protection from direct sunlight. They have big leaves and many branches that are close to each other which enable the trees provide a good shade.

"So whatever the type of tree you choose to plant, you should look at the climate that will favour it

according to its characteristics"

Thanksgiving Point #9: DMM Treat @ Cosy Place

Cupids (from left to right): Jiayan, Zhiyong and Weiwei :P

Our second DMM- thks Zhiyong for the treat. It is indeed a LOVEly place with figurines of cupids all around though they are not cheap, if you look closer at the price tag tied to it. I particularly liked the little bookmarks that says, "Touched by an angel". They are so nice.

More importantly, it was a night of 'blessing sharing' and I was indeed encouraged. Zhiyong shared that 6 of his colleagues/friends asked him about his faith and which church he is from, after the previous pre-evax seminar, which has never happened before. One of them even came down to our church to visit last Sunday and he is inviting another friend to visit our church. Weiwei shared that she got an extra portion of chicken rice for lunch and she felt really blessed.
