Elene bake me a chocolate banana mouse cake for me for my birthday. A wonderful gift, though the cake perish after it has been eaten but her gift of love I will remember for life.
Another gift that i recieved is the birthday song that caleb and cheryl sang to me over the phone and a birthday present that is yet to be recieved. But the gesture of remembering and the song is enough to warm my heart.
I dislike birthday celebration partly because i don't like the attention to be on me as i felt that it's so self-centered and the world emphasise so much on birthday celebration.However, God taught me to take birthday celebration as a time of fellowship and catching up with one another. As i go for dinner with shuling, dawn, huishan, fion, guichan and philiana today, i really enjoyed the time spent together to catch up and the friendship that we have.
I was wondering will we have such time of catching up when we're in our 50's or 60's? Or maybe by that time we'll be attending each other funeral.Ha..ha..
Another lesson that god taught me is that i used to think who is my best friend? Do i have a best friend? But why am i so stubborn in wanting to pursure after an exclusive friendship or a special relationship? I think it's the desire to be loved and wanting to be special in someone eye. However, isn't it wonderful to learn to build friendship and cherish every friend that God place in my life. Simple enjoy the friendship and love with one another. God does place people in my life to love me and to be loved by me.
God, i'm thankful for all the blessing and love that you gave me.The friendships that i have and the family love that you gave to me.
