one good thing to look forward to is the raya holidays ! I've got one week break !! interminable rest...

another great news was that our church collected ~3k to send our pastor n wife on a vacation !!! his 40th birthday gift !
fdfd
At cg, when we were throwing ideas for ps Mal's birthday gift. The cruise/trip idea burgeoned, more like a romantic whim than something we ratiocinate over --> the proposal emailed to other shepherds --> money being collected fr cgs --> an envelope passed around during Sun service (the contents soon outgrew the envelope [the size reflects ones faith/expectency hur]. Anne replaced it with a paper bag) --> opening the bag to find it filled with 10s and 50s...(really exciting here)--> discussions on how to convert the cash to trip ==> gift certificate to hard rock bali (4D/3N) for two ! (uncle swa really poured his heart out to design the cert !)

woo hoo...
f
The irony was that the church-wide collection was borne out of miscommunication. Our cg tot we'd to come out with a gift on behalf of the church ! supposed to be on behalf of our cg only. So there, we boxed out of the box ! There were some misunderstanding in the process due to that, but in the end, ppl were being really supportive lah...
f
The surprising thing was that the amount far-exceeded our expectations ! initially some of us were questioning the magnanimity of ourselves...bargaining the ideas of cruise or trip down to gift vouchers or even a meal for two (ya, some ppl. rub rub)...
d
The amazing thing was seeing the At'son's droped (jaws) and leaped when it was announced ! Heard the last trip they went as a couple was their honeymoon in S'pore... Uma said she was praying for a trip for some time...

i'm glad...

a little girl less than schooling age made my final great story for the day. She brought a RM10 note to church to put it into the offering bag. Told me it was her birthday gift (she called it b'day ang pow) given by her gong gong... (her dad wasn't even aware of it)... melt melt....
f
generosity, like cornflakes pouring down
