This week, what started as a big boo boo when i dropped the holy communion elements in church has turned out well after all. Although i learnt that my pastor said it was the first time in his 20 over years as a pastor for anyone to drop these elements in his church,the week has turned out well after all.
The first good thing happened to me when i sent this patient home for the first time. It was so refreshing to see a patient's family member come out to greet the patient and to tell and smile at you with a warm thank you.....It was really refreshing. Though it is not expected that anyone should say thank you and demonstrate appreciation, it really warmed my heart.
Today, thursday again i was assigned to send 2 patients for the first time. It was truly a wonderful sight to behold, as i smiled from ear to ear. I cannot believe the effort and speed one patient went forward for another. Whilst i noticed their friendship in the Day care, with Madam Tan Loy taking food for Madam Chin who needed a walking frame to move around, it was truly a delight to see how quickly again she went forward as she alighted from her side of the car, to quickly open Madam Chin's gate and house door with keys given to her. I was totally at awe at what i saw. What friendship,what beauty and what service above self!.
This evening i invited my pastor out for dinner and it was a good meeting/chat. i must say all that i wanted addressed was addressed. i left the dinner satisfied that i shared things and burden in my heart quite openly and concerns in the most tactful way. My meeting achieved what i wanted for it to do.
I was reminded that what i was experiencing was a phase, perhaps God's prompting for me to intercede for others, for me to experience how His heart grieved when He sees things that aches His heart. All i know is whilst i was trying to understand why i am experiencing and responding the way that i am, i learn that this is a phase of my growth. I pray that the good Lord will continue to allow me to draw closer to Him as i seek His heart and face. I learn that when i am frustrated why a fellow believer does not respond the way that would be pleasing to God, i learn that i should just turn these over to Him who knows all, and to ask Him for wisdom and guidance.
It has been a good week by far, refreshing experiences and a little more understanding how to handle whatever i am experiencing......
Praise God indeed.....
