Marriage of our daughter(s)

I was completed inspired by the joy of Sandy who is seeing her lovely daughter, Renee to marriage with Daniel, a faithful brother in the church in next Wednesday.

There is always excitement for many occasion occures the first time in our lives. Don't you remember your first time to go to kindergarten, to stand and speak up in the class, to sit in the examination, to purchase your first snack with your own pocket money, to go out alone with your schoolmates, to date, to get married, to give birth to your first baby.........now to become mother-in-law of someone.

Above all, the most joy and gratefullness from Sandy I heard was to seeing her daughter to get marry with a disciple in the church. She looks at her son-in-law's faithfulness in loving and serving God. Sandy feels this is the most valuable quality that her daughter could rely on.

Amen!

SunFlower - Elsie/Feb 2007

Today Elsie looked more familiar with me. After we settled down at the UCC Coffee inside UNY department store, Elsie ordered a strawberry crepe and I ordered a cinnamon french toast.

I led the prayer in thanks God for the food and letting me to be friend of Elsie without so called generation gap. I also grateful for God's leading in our life and be His follower during our fresh life on the Earth.

Elsie told me that she and her classmates made a water rocker in the school which orginally should be a F4 project. Since she touched this subject, I asked her intention in taking arts or science in her high school. She replied quite firmly of science. I, then explained to her how the science subject will be divided in to Physics, Chemistry and Biology when she goes to F4. In order to let her be more conscious in awaring the natural science in her daily life, I asked what she can see and she can hear. We discussed the subject of infra-red, microwave, radio frequence and X-ray.

Elsie further told me that she has visited 綠田園 with her school in last Thursday. She learned how to prepare fertilizer using peanuts, seaweed and etc. What a co-incident event with my visit to my mom's hometown where I managed to have an opportunity to hire a farm land for organic farming experiment. Elsie showed her interest in observing plants growing. I was excited to find a young 知音.

She took a picture of the strawberry crepe for preparing her power point journal about our meetings. What a fun to get along with a young girl, in particular being trusted by her to be her faithful friend in Christ.

Godly wise, she told me that her school friends theathened her of 絕交 if she will join the group who has bullied their group when making the water rocket. I, then asked Elsie what she will do in handling this kind of situation.

Elsie said, "I should not be angry with my classmates because it does not do good to any party."

"Well, what does it mean to you?" Bonnie curiously asked.

"To forgive them." I can observed Elsie is having God in her heart as core value.

"Awesone, Elsie. You are right if we forgive people, God will lead the rest to happen. When time comes, may be this so called angry or 絕交 is no more important in bothering your life." Bonnie praised Elsie with championship.
