New Year Reflections and Ramblings (3)

Family

Thank God for family. I am glad we make it a point to celebrate birthdays together! The kids are so adorable and they are growing up fine (must continue to pray for them to grow in wisdom and in stature, in favour with God and men just like Jesus re: Luke 2:52).






Friends
Thank God for friends (and teachers and students) too!

I still try to keep in touch with my school friends from primary school to secondary school to JC to Uni and NIE! God is truly good - He has provided for good friends all through my life.

And I also keep in touch with a few of my secondary school teachers. I think teachers are important people in the lives of their students. I endeavour to play my role as a teacher well.

And I do have students that I keep in touch with. Thanks to Facebook too!


Concluding thoughts

This life is temporal. I must attend to things that have eternal significance. This became more apparent especially when a few people in my life had medical conditions, some of which could be considered a struggle between life and death. I was reminded not to sweat the small stuff... Money can always be earned back. Work will not end. People will always be entitled to their own opinions etc etc.

May 2010 be another year filled with God's blessings!
May there always be love, joy, peace, comfort, hope, loads of laughter, good friends and good health!

Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which GOD, through Christ Jesus, is calling us. Phil 3:13-14
