*~...bells are ringing...~*

December came ringing with many bells...

1. ring ring : My friend Sel got her coveted ring last nite !! Here's the 2-days-before-Christmas-story : (retold fr Luke 2 : 9 - 56)

a

9-10 And, lo, the angel came upon us by sms saying, "Behold, i bring you good tidings of joy. For unto you shall witness this day the engagement of Sel, our beloved friend"

15 The kpc friends said to one another, "let us now go even unto Ps Mal's house (there's a gp of carolers already there), and see this thing which is come to pass"

ps Mal's house

16 And they came with haste, and found Gavin on a guitar and stool. "you said i hardly display public affection, here's one for u" expressed the courtier to his beloved. And so a love sonet sang he.

17 And they circled around the courtier and courted, screamed and took pictures.

a

19 But Sel pondered "why are u so happy, it's jst a song"...

a

53 And so a turquoise paper bag took him out and presented to his beloved. She was all smiles. (who wouldn't? it's Tiffany's). Into the bag went her hands, and found her a ring box. *scruffle scruffle*

a

54 and lo and behold there was nothing in the box. not a ring to be found.

a

55 "sigh" said she, thinking it was one of those bachelor's joke.

a

56 Then.... he got down on his knees....and said a bunch of stuffs nobody except sel can rmb... and she exclaimed "yes". not one but 3,4,5 times? jumping up and down... and history was made.

2. Belle : My friend Eliza gave birth to a belle, 5pm, 23rd of December. Beatrice is her name. I've not seen her yet, but mummy said she's pweety.

3. Ding : Sent my car for service yesterday. Gone's my macro lens dream. Can't sing Merry Christmas. Maybe silent night will do.
a
4. Dong : My friend's kelissa got hijacked. It's a classic story of being hit from the back of the car, she got out of the car, and a man in office attire went to inspect the damage and ran off with her car.
a
I felt really sorry for her. She still has one year of car-loan to pay. I'm not sure whether asking "why" would help. God sends rain to both the wicked and good (Mat 5: 45), at the same time he also allows us to experience the rot of the society.
a
But God's mercy & providence has never failed to echo through the ages. God commanded the farmers to leave behind a portion of the field unharvested (Lev 19:9-10). Like a special lane for the the less. I thought we could come together to patch up for the lost. The love guide chapter teaches us that "love covers all things" (1 Cor 13:7). Perhaps by sharing God's love we can weave up what has been tore... it can be made new...
