The beginning of another week here at the farm, April has come and left us, fond memories and sad ones marks April 2005, we must continue to live in the hope of experiencing more happy moments, sadness will visit us again and again but we must not let it rob us of the abundant life that God has promised. Did some weeding on the plot where Furry rest this morning, tears again.
We had visitors over the last two days. Bro. Teng over with his wife and princess, The apostle came with his girlfriend, brought loads of food again, Bro. Keong came too with his two kids but did not bring his wife as she is taking a rest at home. I thank God for good company, just too bad that they couldn’t stay over longer. Friends are hard to find, a pure form of blessing from God. They ask for nothing but give whatever they can, whenever we can. Somehow I can’t stand the thought of living without friends, living alone, we recalled the times we had during school days. How we used to go casting our nets in remote parts of Langat, catching fishes, ‘pak yue chai’ to feed the tomans we were rearing, eating loads of free chempedak, buying them at the bootloads at cheap prices, durian feast, playing at the streams and waterfalls. We had really good and carefree days, I am glad to have had the privilege of experiencing such great times. Forward now to the present… we now are so called ‘matured’, some with queens that rules with an iron fist, some with noisy kids… but deep inside the child within us lives. Among friends, we could once again laugh, do crazy stuff, talk rubbish without the fear of ridicule, contempt and misunderstanding, we have come far, what really matters is we remain friends. All this got me thinking, have I been a good friend? I must certainly strive to be a good friend to others, to give more than I receive. This farm, after a while will lose its’ novelty and appeal, friends and family will visit only if they experience the love of God here, pure unadulterated kindness, God’s likeness reflected in us. That’s the only reason why I think people will endure the long drive to come here to this ‘wilderness’ to spend time here. I pray that God will set us up here as a light on a hill, radiating His light while we journey on in this confused and fallen world. Oh! If we could only fathom how great the Father’s love is for us. Friends, family, God loves you and I sure do appreciate you, may you forgive me for my shortcomings and weaknesses. Take care and God Bless!
