This is My Prayerwall

My spiritual bday...

Woke up in the morning, spent my time praying with David. I had a fully recharged day today, with breakfast from Hans, my favourite apple pie (a pity apple crumble was out) and I truly was enjoying my spiritual birthday. I had in mind to spend sometime with God in the evening, praying at my favourite mountain. Mount Emily. Thats where I connect.

Touch Point: "have you ever been to a place where it seems so easy to pray there. Despite all the things that may be happening, or problems we may be carrying, but because we were simply there, it is so easy to connect to God..."

I had to work today, moreover, my colleague Hwee was out for reservist, therefore, i had to double-up and get myself prepared and ready for what i need to do! Had meeting with Boss, discussed about directions of where the dept is going...

Touch Point: "have you ever thought of the difference between leading and managing?"

I realize that we can be leaders in whatever position we are in, but we cant manage anything unless we are given the authority to do it. Had a fruitful meeting, lunch was paid for... and I went back to office.

Touch Point: "Is friendship defined by our own understanding and expectations of friendship or is there a common standard of friendship?"

Went for groceries shopping after prayer... and thats when I head home only waiting to be surprised....

The sisters in my group barged into my house... Banging at my door... and VIOLA! Birthday cake, tiramitsu... and my favourite... SALAD!

Crack Jokes and laugh and laugh till they forgot to share for me...hahahaha! I was so touched.. so touched... so touched.... (the dots... take note of the ...)

Touch Point: Have you ever felt so joyful before in your life to the point that you can't really feel any more? Sounds scary? It's like what's it feel like after being more than happy?

At that point in time, I realized one thing about my life... I have come to accept that:

1) People loves me and there are people who cares for me.
2) These people may not necessarily remember me everyday, or express their love to me everyday.
3) That love is not something conditional, and when others do unto me, they do not expect the same to be returned back to them.
4) And that the day I die, I know that the lesson I have learn in life about love, will be shown by the people and their tears.

Hmm... If grateful is not the word to use to conclude this birthDAY.... I really dont know of any other word!
