N 年的回忆

During our youth days, 5 of us went on a short mission trip, visiting a few churches and para organization in Selangor and Perak. The people whom we visited were blessed and needless to mention that it left a long lasting impact in our walk in Christ. 3 of ended up serving the Lord full-time and the other 2 were faithful members in the church.

Years later, when I was looking for a school for Victor, I remembered a wonderful place we stopped by during the meaningful trip. The place that left a great impact on my memory is Bethany Home. The application for Victor to study in Bethany Home was successful and he has been there for the last 9 years.

Little do I know that this mission trip during my young and adventurous days has brought lasting memories, strength to my faith and connected my family to a wonderful place for Victor. Praise the Lord.

非凡的一天

睡觉睡到自然醒是一件很幸福的事。但是在身负重任的今早肯定不敢去渴望这样的幸福吧！

今早的出殡仪式设定在10点，所以说好9点30分就开始聚合。昨晚也跟诗琴与莉珊约好9点在教会会面然后一起过去吉英姐妹的家。昨晚在追思礼，触动心情的时刻很多，回到家后，迟迟都不能入睡。经验谈，明天大可能会有身体不适的状况出现。通常在6点多，Andrew 和 Vincent 起身时，我都醒过来。但是昨晚，不敢轻心，自己调好8点的闹钟避免有误。

今早，打开眼睛，望一望时钟，喔……是8点50分。镇定！镇定！先打个电话给莉珊，叫他们先过去，起码丧家看到有教会的人来会比较安心。然后我就赶快洗涮，在9点5分赶出门。一路顺风，9点25分抵达。9点30分吉英姐妹的孩子，孙子都还在屋内，没人出来。9点40分一些亲戚走进来。再过5分钟，吉英姐妹的大女婿与两个男孙从加影赶到。心想，他们不会以为是10点才聚合吧！经过一番的招集，大家终于坐好，看看时钟……大概10点了！在主里的时刻他使万物美好。呵呵，看来，我是没有迟到。

我一直在想，为何没听到Andrew 和 Vincent起床、出门的声音？为何8点钟的闹钟响我一点感觉都没有？不会是没响吧！自己能沉睡到这么“聋”的情况实在是少之又少。

从早上到现在，我还是很精神。在外一整天了，一丝头痛的感觉都没有。嗯……我深信早上多睡的一个多小时就是这一整天感觉良好的关键。在身负重任时还可以睡觉睡到自然醒真是很幸福的事。阿爸父的贴心安排，让我感到很温馨，甜美。
