$6, A Maroon Brolly & Baby's Nails

Today I went to volunteer at the women's shelter. When I was reaching, it rained rather heavily. As I do not have the habit of putting an umbrella in my bag, I thought I could purchase an umbrella at the minimart when I alighted. 

Upon reaching the minimart, I searched for the umbrella. After finding the umbrella, I looked around at the cashier's counter for payment method. My heart sank when I saw, "Cash Only". Thinking that I do not have enough cash, I enquired about the price of the umbrella. When the cashier told me it was $6, I was surprised and thankful. I didn't know that a big umbrella would cost this cheap! I searched for $6 and was doubtful as I only had coins. Amazingly, I had coins that made up $6. I'm so grateful to God for watching over me. (I would be late if I had not enough cash!)

I was a little anxious volunteering today because I am the only volunteer helping to care for the babies. When I knew that I was going to be the only one there the night before, I prayed for God to be with me so that I could serve.

When I reached, I was tasked to play, help baby sleep and cut finger nails. I had lots of trouble cutting Mendell's nails but when the baby slept in my arms, I had no trouble doing it at all! It was such a great accomplishment! ☺

My heart is so full thinking about how God partnered me so that I could serve. I'm immensely thankful.

Love,
Pam

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; #...

Personal Perspective on CHC Fiasco

My personal perspective on the City Harvest Church fiasco: #1. God is omnipresent (present everywhere), omnipotent (all powerful), omniscient (all knowing) and God knew about this episode. I believe God is watching.; #2. The CAD does not charge without concrete evidence (they have taken sufficient time to investigate - 2 years). May justice prevail.; #3. It is unavoidable for members of the public with little information about Christianity to judge.  It is also one of my weaknesses to be quick to judge/form negative impression about others, which is unhealthy.; #4. I believe to a certain extent, the message of giving and tithing is relatively strong in City Harvest Church - I may be wrong.  (fyi, I have visited the church a couple of times) My personal belief is that it is important to give to God because God is the creator of everything that exists. He owns everything and we are simply stewards of what we have been entrusted with.  Though I h...

Outlier

It is always amazing meeting outliers. One who respectfully defies what ageing means in recent decades.  It is awesome to encounter a senior (almost twice my age) who is fitter than me. So inspiring! She embodies the example of good stewardship and living well in the last trimester of life 🧓🏻💛
