Happy Boxing Day 2008

Instead of Merry Christmas, I wanna wish everyone Happy Boxing Day. If you'd opened all your presents, I hope you like them all.


This year I'd spent more on Christmas presents than usual, but I am so happy to give them all away. I now can really understand why Jesus said it is more blessed to give than to receive. As I looked at all the presents I'd prepared, the best present is actually something intangible.


I gave someone an apology last week.


I'd been struggling with some painful memories and felt the Lord spoke to me. He said I need to apologize and ask for forgiveness. It was mid-week Wednesday afternoon, and I absolutely couldn't concentrate on my work. I decided once office hours is over I will call the person.


Little did I know, the person is also struggling with the same issue. I realised he wants to be forgiven more than I do. Although he did not say "I'm sorry, please forgive me", I told him that he is forgiven.


God knows best, and the timing was right. Instead of an apology, I'd given an even better present - forgiveness.


I always know God put him in my life to teach me how to love. And now, how to forgive.

Giving responsibly

Christmas is coming again! Time flies when you’re having fun and enjoying the time of your life.

Are you planning to give someone a pet? Or wish you will have one by Christmas? If you are, please remember that every life is precious in the Lord’s eye. Don’t buy/ask on impulse! You are responsible for the rest of ITS life!

You can always visit the SPCA to adopt. Or approach me for one of my lovely hamsters (remember I have five).

This is the season of giving! Give these animals a home!
