i'm juz so excited about what mummy was telling her friend over the phone before i started listening to the online sermon.
she was talking to one of her good friend and she began to encourage her friend to go to church and for her kids to attend our children church.
her is what she said:
there is so much peace and love whenever i went into the church. the people there are so caring and loving. very different from yhe others. the kids from our children church are taught to be well-behaved and obedient. and the list goes on...
but the very sad part was...
i used to go every week with my kids until i got too busy and have to work to provide for the family.
and that was in e days when i was in children church. the thing so special abt that time was that my parents had just got divorced. it was a time of pain and heartache for her. so thank God for the people that have reached out to her kids which ended up ministering mum as well.
since then, she joined me for service intermittently but yet still no wanting to commit. it kinda moved and saddened me to see how the weight and cares of this world actually prevents ppl frm making that decision towards God. but yet all in all, that is e purpose of christians in their lives, to love them with God's agape love, impacting and loving them.
felt that i made a good decision in staying home today. although i sort of compromised on Geraldine (but thank God for Peiyi) which i feel abit 'why didnt i be there'. but yet as i made the decision to stay home and spend time w ma and 'obey' her, it did bring many smiles to her face. she really told me that she was so happy that i'm home with her. although i have spent split moments with her throughout the week, it juz seemed that it made a whole world of difference to her. it felt awesome as i told mummy that i love her, and i truly did.
today's sermon was on how to handle anger. was just so WOW.
for me, there are times that i really need to learn to love the people dat have hurt or rejected me EVEN IF they may not love me back. i need to be totally commited in loving the people in my life even if they may not meet my needs or caused me innumerous heartaches. PC313, e141 and my family, i am going to pour myself out unto you and love at all times. i want to be a testimony to 1 Cor 13:4-7!
overflowing with the agape love...
