More Blessings...

Seems like everyone has been very busy. No one has been posting on the blog page. Yeah, it's SA1 time, no wonder. I myself have been laden with students' last minute revisions. Why last minute? Because everyone has been falling ill due to the pressure! One of my P4 boys have been having stomach flu and have been vomiting and leaving school early almost everyday for the past 3.5 weeks! I'm not at all envious of the kids these days... I largely leave my kids alone. They refuse to acknowledge my authority as a teacher and refuse to do any assessments for me. I'm not too worried except for their attitude. After all Nathanial is coping very well and Natalie is not one to be pushed too hard.

Neighbour's Taiwanese wife is 2 months pregnant. Absolutely beat, retching all day and have no energy to take care of her 3yo son or cook for him. Started to provide him with lunch and dinner to take a load off the couple's mind. I feel really blessed that I have the means to help, to be able to help, and that my offer to help is being accepted. Beginning to understand what it means by giving is more fortunate than receiving, 施比受更有福!

Feel also very much blessed that after much praying and 'scheming', finally got Brother Kok Yew to set up the first study with my father-in-law this Friday evening. Really looking forward to Friday approaching. Please pray for us for my father-in-law to be open and receptive to the biblical teachings, so that he may soon join us in God's kingdom.

Love you all,
Carol

Dear Sis, you are always such an inspiration. There's so much for me to learn from your sharing.

Certainly keeping your father-in-law in prayer.

Luv,
