Our Wedding Silver Jubilee!

Twenty five years! Wow! How the Lord guided our marriage through storms and weather and we are grateful that we survived. Without the Lord we are just tossed to and fro by the wind and waves of life.

We joined the FGA Serdang 7th Anniversary celebration on 29th May though our actual wedding annivearsary falls on 30th May. It's "双喜临门＂． The church gave a buffet lunch. As you can see we also ordered a large heart-shaped cake. Of course its strawberry eating time as well!

Later in the evening we had a dinner at Janbo with my sister and cousin sister and their family.

Thank you Lord!

Lik Xiang's Birthday

It's Lik Xiang's Birthday celebration at Janbo. His actual BD falls on 26th May though. 

BCM OPEN DAY

On May 12, Bible College of Malaysia had an Open Day with Jumble Sale and Food and Funfare. Mary baked some chiffon cakes and I cooked spghetti, my signature cooking. It was fun though we were really tired in the afternoon after the sale. Though the Open Day was supposed to be from 9:00 a.m. to 2.00 p.m. All the cakes and spaghetti were sold out at noon. 

SOLITUDE

My son, Pauleon wrote in his blog:

"i dunno.. i just enjoy being alone sometimes. yet, i recharge with being talkative and boisterous, being the centre of attention in a group. in fact, sometimes i crave alone time if i spend too much time with people around. like, the fact i prefer to have my own room to do my own things at night. kinda also a "recharging time" back home... yet, i also crave to just hang and chill with people, talk talk talk. hehh was thinking who else is like this and quanwei came to mind. "

This is absolutely our spiritual yearning. It is in quietness and alone that God can recharge us! The Lord Jesus practised this often. He often withdrew from the crowd to be alone with God the Father. (Mk. 1:35; Lk. 4:42; Mk. 6:31-32, 46) We all need this time of solitude! While we are alone, not to idle our minds but to contemplate and think about God and His goodness, and perhaps also what He would like us to do.
