(1 Peter 5.5)
Since Im in charge of Christian Fellowship Club activity this week and since Chinese New Year is just around the corner, I decided that we should visit the old folks home and pray for the elderly. We also collected donations for them. Our activity started with giving away angpau(s) which contains money that are collected from the CF members. I also did small notes written Wishing You A Happy And Healthy Chinese New Year and slipped them into the angpau (s). Then we went around singing worship songs and talking to the old folks. They open out to us and cried their problems out. Its sad to see that most of their only wish is to spend Chinese New Year with their kids and grandchildren.
While singing, I have no idea why I noticed this man and decided to approach him. It must be Gods will cause he started crying and telling me that he wished to see his children. I too couldnt take the pain and cried with him.
Before going home, we prayed for those who wanted to be prayed for as most of them were Buddhist.
Im glad that God was there to touch the old folks and may God continue to bless them. I would also like to encourage other Recess Revolutionist to plan activities like this as it is important for us to reach out to our community. But remember, everything we do, we give God the glory!
