Devotion on Childbirth

Listened to my favourite radio station and had a short time of devotion through the website.

Read the full article here.  It totally spoke to me, since I am currently in the season of planning to start a family. Literally weeping while reading this.

"I realized that though I hadn’t yet seen into this baby’s eyes God already had, long ago when He first conceived to create the world, He had already looked into this baby’s eyes and known him. I decided as hard as it would be I’d try to take joy in every minute I had with the baby in my belly, to marvel at his movement and smile at my own physical discomfort because it was all time I got to spend with the wonderful, miraculous gift inside of me. And in a very real way I connected with this baby long before I ever looked into his eyes and knew him that way."

God may I bring you honour in everything that I do.  Thank you God for being so real to me.  I know You are here and You absolutely understand how I feel.  Let me never forget Thy faithfulness all the days of my life.

Love,
Pam

Grandfather Lee: YOUR vision, not mine!

Here is an article from New Nation, an online magazine I read. Former MM Lee Kuan Yew: The Singapore vision is your vision, not my vision. Pam Petite

Acquaintances with Benefits

When I was young (in upper primary), my birthday wishes were similar.  It was to have many friends.  That could be due to the fact that I am an only child and may feel lonely at times.  Thanks to my best friends (you know who you are), I seldom feel lonely.  I can easily identify who my best friends are.  They are people I would ask for opinions on important decisions I have to make, meet relatively regularly (at least bimonthly, quarterly) for chit-chat and my life would have been very different without them. According to Robin Dunbar , in order to maintain stable social relationships where an individual knows who each person is, and how each person relates to every other person.  Friends are essentially different from acquaintances.  Acquaintances are typically: #1. People whom you may have only met a few times at an event/function; #2. Classmates/schoolmates/coursemates you have encountered casually; #...

Love is Kind

So I went jogging and insisted on continuing even when the heavens gave me clue that it'll pour anytime soon.  It rained and I was drenched.  Since it was getting late, I had to walked on by to get home.  While I was at the traffic junction, a contruction worker sheltered me with his umbrella for a short distance.  I was really touched by his kindness.  Thank you, Lord for showing your love through the people around me.
