I am reminded…

I had a great reunion with some wonderful friends…

We knew each other when we were in our teens. We were single, not married, no kids…leading a carefree life. After those years, we went on our own ways. Some got married young, some much older. We had kids, we started our families, we travelled, we returned…we were reunited. What an amazing journey. In that few hours, we shared about what had happened in our lives for the past 20 to 30 odd years. One of the mamas talked about how her 18yo girl came to with her boy-girl issues. What a great mum and daughter relationship.  Through the sharing, I was reminded that both my kids are miracles from God. They came about through God's intervention, I am just God's steward. I hope I will always be their friend.

Believe it, we are mothers to 2 or 3…still feeling young. Kids, mums don't just nag, mums just want to have fun too!

Teach me oh, Lord

Matthew 5:13, 14 - You are the salt of the earth... You are the light of the world.

Christians are called to influence the world by living and showcasing the radical Kingdom lifestyle, which is counter-cultural.

Charles Spurgeon: The great guide of the world is fashion and its god is respectability - two phantoms at which brave men laugh! How many of you look around on society to know what to do? You watch the general current and then float upon it! You study the popular breeze and shift your sails to suit it. True men do not so! You ask, "Is it fashionable, it must be done." Fashion is the law of multitudes, but it is nothing more than the common consent of fools." The Christian lifestyle is counter-cultural!

Oh pl…easssse dress appropriately

I was at a school open house today and was so shocked to see parents coming in bermudas, tees and crocs. One boy was even in singlet. OMG! No, I am not an atas person. I do not look down on people who do not dress well. I am not a branded person. I am not asking them to wear LV or Coach or Armani. Neither am I asking them to wear suit and gown. All I am asking is that everyone should learn to dress for the occasion. You are meeting educators, school principal, students. You do not wear singlet. Some of these students were in their NCC uniform, St John's uniform. The least we could do is to be neat and tidy. Jeans and tees and a pair of casual shoes are enough.

It is simple basic manners.
