we are the reason
here goes my first week of holidays. what did i accomplish during this first week of holidays lehx? nothing much too. catch up with my sleep. but some how still lack of sleep.Christmas Christmas Christmas. have to chiong Christmas card or not really not enough time.
Saturday, nandy, pc and i was out at orchard road. not for shopping but for CCIS. we are to start a conversation with someone and HB distributor. starting a conversation was really not so easy when all the people was like rushing from 1 place to another. but really thank God, at least 1 person is able to hear the Christmas story from me and it makes a lot of different. so was really really thankful, cos i got 3. hahax. and yes, my line dat night goes like this " merry Christmas! free programme handbook and postcard!" before i even finish my line, the person walks off. morning the line was" hi, are you free to spare me 5mins of your time to do a survey?"
what a day, on the streets- full of rejection.
pc and i went to see the stage performance when our duty almost end. since it is so near. hahax. was super touch with the song that they sing. cos it is full of meaning.
the first Christmas happened 2000 years ago at the town of Bethlehem. Christmas is a time of giving and receiving, is a time where we celebrate Jesus Christ birth.
if this will be the shape of a Christmas tree... how great will that be. every year during Christmas everybody will remember what Christmas means when they look at the Christmas trees.
As little children we would dream of Christmas morn
Of all the gifts and toys we knew we'd find
But we never realized a baby born one blessed night
Gave us the greatest gift of our lives
We were the reason that He gave His life
We were the reason that He suffered and died
To a world that was lost
He gave all He could give
To show us the reason to live
As the years went by we learned more about gifts
The giving of ourselves and what that means
On a dark and cloudy day a man hung crying in the rain
All because of love
All because of love
We were the reason that He gave His life
We were the reason that He suffered and died
To a world that was lost
He gave all He could give
To show us the reason to live
I finally found the reason for living
It's in giving every part of my heart to Him (every part to him)
And all that I do every word that i say (you know I'll be saying)
I'll be giving my all just for Him,
For Him (everything for Him)
We are the reason that He gave His life
We are the reason that he suffered and died
To a world that was lost he gave all he could give,
to show us the reason to live
[He is the reason to live]
(don't you know do you know the reason that he came,
oh he came to save us when he gave his life for us)
he suffered and died
To a world that was lost
He gave everything (everything that He had He gave)
To show us the reason to live
i stood still and looked at the crowd of people. some was super excited, taking photos, buying the mini Christmas cap to clip on their hair.....
my heart aches a little....
there is a old auntie that i met yesterday during saturation. she speak dialect only and my dialect was not very good. but still can understand what she said. she keep telling me that she is very sad. cos she cant walk and so she have to depend on a wooden cane to move around at home. she said she cant go out of house and i can feel that she really feels very lonely. and the hospital cant help her with her leg, and she heard that our church tradition Chinese medicine clinic was good. she hopes to consult the doctor too. my heart really aches for her. there is so many old folks in our community that is like this old auntie that need helps. i really don mind to just go and sit down with them and listen to them talk and make them happy.
dear God, You are the healer. may Your healing power rest upon their body right now and remove all the pain and illness and all the works of the devil. let them see You, the light and the truth.
