Things that really matter It was Lee and Rachel's farewell party, we had really nice food and great fun together (look at how we laughed in the photos!). However,maybe I was too busy in the past few weeks, maybe my mind was all set on organising the party or preparing for the gifts and games, only until now, when the party is finished, when I lied down on my bed quietly, I just started to realize, that they are really leaving, and what it means to me. I started to know, for the past more than a year's time, we have been serving together in the core group of this church, we emailed each other so frequently to discuss the issues in church, we meet every week in cell group and Sunday service, we had team meeting almost once a month to make various decisions together, to work out problems and find solution, to pray together...We've done lots of things together, but now this is the end: They are leaving this country forever, the only time in our life, when God has put us serving together has passed, we will never get a chance to serve together so closely in a same church, we will have our life and serving in the different places in the world... So what? All the things we have dealt with together have passed, I can hardly remember the details, but it doesn't matter.. The relationship is still there, and I believe it will be lasting for life time. That is what really matters. That is why God has put us together. It makes little difference, in a short period of time, how we have made a decision or how we organised an event. But what really matters, is how we have loved each other, valued each other as a body in Christ, considered each other better than ourselves. Even I was told about this many times in teachings or bible studies, I only realized it deep in my heart, from this moment. Sometimes it is too easy for me, to get too busy dealing with the issues, decisions, tasks, but forgot to respect other's feeling or what they really need in the process. At times, I forgot to show enough care and love for one another, because I tended to see how the things is dealt with, how the target is achieved, more than how the person is loved. In our life, we have lots of things to do with different people. We meet a lot of people who did or will walk with us for part of the journey, some long, some short. At the end of the journey, they will all leave, includes our parents or partners. Then, what's left? You won't remember every single details of the journey, you won't be any more proud of how you have completed a task successfully, but what you will remember, is the love, the affection, the care you have showed for each other during the process, because that is the reason why God has put us together, that is what God value most. I pray, that in every single journey ahead of my life, I will enjoy the process and appreciate the people who have walked or are walking with me, because you are all the very precious gifts from God. God bless you, Rachel and Lee,thank you, for the wonderful journey, we have walked together. Comments (7)
