It's been a while since my last post. Many things have happened... Too busy wit work, removing of wisdom tooth plus a death in my somewhat related family.
Last week was Valentine's Day week. I'm glad it's over. It was hardwork trying to put the stuff together. Ambitious? Yeah... I thank God for those who came down to help. It was wonderful of you peeps! :)
And then, this week, I had 2 of my wisdom tooth removed. Don't know whether to say I regret it or not. Oh well, it's for the better in the long term. And now, I'm on a 5 day MC. Woohoo... but I still have to work from home, compiling AGM reports and blah blah blah... :)
It's also a good thing I'm at home. Last few weeks, my brother's mum-in-law had a stroke plus a heart failure and she has been surviving on machine's then. My heart goes out to them. It's in times like these when you feel so helpless like there's nothing much you can do. Well, she went home to be with the Lord yesterday morning.
I saw her father yesterday and I could feel his sadness. I guess they anticipated this to happen but they were also hoping for her to be healed, just like how I was hoping for the Lord to heal my dad. But I have come to a point where it is, "not my will but Your's be done." So even while I was praying for them, as much as I wanted her to be healed. I know if it is the Lord's will, it's for the better.
Lord, I pray for them today, that during this time of grieving that they will find the peace and their hope will always lie in You. Lord, I pray for extra strength and extra understanding to be among them. Instead of getting angry or annoyed, I pray that they will exercise patience and love to one another. Lord, only you know how they are feeling deep inside.
I especially pray for the dad. I can see how much he needs his children at this point of time. Lord, I pray that they will understand that the dad is grieving too in fact even more cause he has known their mum for a longer time and the bond is stronger. He is just trying to help out as much as he can. Lord. I pray for the brother, I know that he is an emotional guy and Lord, I pray for your love and your peace to fill his heart today. That Lord, he will indeed be strengthened by you. I pray for Jie Jie Joyce that she may look strong on the outside but inside, I know that she is grieving as well. Lord, I pray for for strength to be upon my brother and her that even as they prepare the stuff for the funeral, they will see Your hands upon their lives. And during the funeral and wake, may Your presence be there so strongly and comfort those who mourn especially the grandmother and through all these things, may Your name be honoured and glorified. In Jesus name I pray, Amen!
