David will be turning 50 tomorrow - in a few mintues time!
Wow, what a milestone, what amazing grace! Looking back at the journey, especially the "valley & mountain experience" last 6 years, I could only think of God's love and faithfulness. Oh, what amazing grace!
It is a time for celebration! And we did. We started celebrating since 31Jan when a dear friend of Daivd from KL came to Singapore with his family. They even gathered greetings from other KL friends to bless David. These were friends whom David knew for almost 30 years and they were praying for us during our times of trials.
Another wonderful celebration was last Sunday 07Feb's surprise celebration with families and friends from Singapore. David had no idea at all that I had planned with many of our friends, families and cell members to throw a surprise party for him. It was amazing that so many of us managed to keep it a secret and the plan to "trick" him to the party venue to "ambush" him was successfully carried out. I am sure he was overwhelmed by the love and blessings of everyone present. We had great fun and the event was made especially memorable by the slide shows our dear friend Bang had helped put together. It was such a blessed event that I believe David and our family will remember it for a long long time to come. We experienced God's love through his wonderful people once again and are deeply moved by His love and grace.
May we be spreading his love in every possible way as it is written in 1 John 4: 10,11: "This is love" not that we love God but that He loved us and sent His Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, since God so loved us we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us."
The celebration will continue because God is love and He is alive! Every good and perfect gift is from Him and I am truly thankful to Him for my dear husband. May he continue to shine for Jesus and bless and impact many lives for many years to come. Truly, we have and will continue to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living (Psalm 27:13,14).
Love & blessings!
