Its Chap Goh Meh, the 15th day of the first lunar month in the chinese almanac. I sit at my beloved patio, with background praise and soothing songs and music. The lights are on at de patio, the fan is blowing and God gave some showers of blessings a few hours ago, so the temperature has dropped a notch.
What i recall and want to share about The Chinese New Year.....This little fellow has elevated my status of aunty to God Grand Ma! Yes, Jayden is my first born's god son, so i happily adopted this "title" GGM!!! Nice twist eh.......Is he gorgeous and yummy or not? The internet is taking super super slow time to download Jayden's photo, so i guess i will just proceed with text.
It was loads of hardwork, and wanting things to be to a T, i did more than i should, moving furniture out to d'patio etc. Praise God i did not go overboard with what food i was contributing. It was great to display and share the few varieties of cookies i made. I must say it was not bad the peanut cookie and pineapple tarts, but the rolled mini crisps was a DISASTER.
It was good as i remember that i am a christian above being chinese, so first day or not, i used the broom to clean especially the kitchen. Thank you Lord for the opportunity to make maggie mee for my brother, to add the fried egg and chilli padi and serving it at the dining table. I am glad i allowed my spirit to rule and not be petty as Eddie and i are not the best of siblings. Praise God for giving me the opportunity. Praise God also for giving me a discerning spirit. Thank you Lord that i went to speak with Jeffrey and thereafter arranging a home cooked lunch with My Princess and first born, just to eat and fellowship there.
I thank God that i had work to do, and in fact for the past week i have been working more than i have in months. I thank you Lord as i believe Judy will buy the sri kasturina. I thank God that He has created a door for me to talk in a civil way with Chon. Thank you Lord which ever way you do and how ever you do. Thank you Lord that he is open to the possibility of Carolyn leaving Bangsar as her home.
Thank you Lord for giving me time to reflect and ponder. Thank you Lord for the Valentine day fun eat out with Ken and Bee as Carol and Michelle joined in. Thank you Lord for watching over my children. Thank you for today's revelation. To be your disciple i need firstly to DENYING MY self, taking the cross and following after Jesus. I googled to understand deeper what is meant by taking one's cross and i think if i understand it correctly is demonstration of LOVE ie carrying someone else's thorn in the flesh.
I thank you Lord that as i do not involve myself in too many things, i am seeing things differently. I thank you as it was a first time in many years i ever asked another opinion, so when i wrote to Chon and asked for his opinion on the tradition of Carol's wedding, it was as if it was shared the burden or responsibility. It felt different. I thank you that we will work JOYOUSLY in the planning of the wedding. I pray Lord you give us favour in all our plans and beautiful weather both for 18th and 19th June.
Lord, you are faithful and i cannot thank you enough. I now pause as i think where i should go for bible study. I hope people will be encouraged as i start pockets of prayer in different places. I praise you Lord for who you are, for the love you are, and i long to emulate you.....I bless your name and may you be magnified and all glory and honour to you............In Jesus name.
