The Greatest Teacher

The Greatest Teacher in the world must be Jesus Christ for whose teachings can endure the testing of time both now and eternity. Last Saturday, we have the privilege of having Dr Tan Siang Yang with us to preach the word. He expound on the Book of Matthew 28:16-20 on The Great Commission, a very familiar passage that speaks volume of God love for his disciples and his heart for missions.

Having a "T" profile, I like such thought-provoking message... somehow it leaves a lasting impression in my mind. I'm challenged to turn up at my "Galilee" to meet with Jesus and be opened to share my true thoughts and feelings with Him whether it reflects my own inadequacy, fears, weakness etc... He knows them anyway. It is me who needs to hear from Him to be transformed.

Like many people, sometimes I do battle with the "I'm-not-good-enough" thoughts... I've drifted far away from where I should be.... instead of being found at the feet of Jesus, I'm found on my bed sleeping, going about the daily routines, weekend ministry, daydreaming..... and the list goes on and on. Sometimes I wonder... whether I'll make it to Heaven one day... and how am I going to account to God for the things I have done and many things I have yet to do. It's a scary thought but one that I want to remind myself always that life on earth is temporal... I need to make wise choices now that will determine my eternal rewards.

Back on the family front, like what John has shared, we are eagerly and earnestly waiting for Tricia's arrival.... 39 weeks and Tricia is still happily enjoying herself in her private swimming pool. Trevor arrived at around 37.5weeks and we anticipated Tricia to arrive around that time as well but lo and behold, she chose to stay in a bit longer.

On one hand, I long to meet her face-to-face and cuddle her in my arms and whisper "I love you" into her ears.... yet on the other hand, I really don't know whether we can cope.... Trevor has been seeking my attention lately wanting me to spend time with him reading his favourite books, watching Elmo videoclips, feeding him the milk, bathing him.... I do enjoy doing these activities with him yet I'm not sure how he will feel when the day comes and I can't spend these precious moments with him for a season. I pray God will help him in the transition.

It's 1st Sept today.... Thank You to my Saviour and Teacher... Jesus Christ!
