Friends' blessings

This past weekend, I was superbly blessed by quite a few friends. How so? On Friday, I met a good friend from church and we had a good time catching up and chatting. Then on Saturday, I was invited to dinner by a married couple, both of whom are my good friends. Went to their tastefully furnished abode and was treated to a nice sit-down home-cooked meal. I was really touched by the efforts they had made, and the food was really scrumptious. What can I say? Good food, good company.....sheer bliss. Had a great time catching up with W and C, and really thank God for them. They have been blessings to me in so many ways, and I am truly thankful for them. Chatted with them till quite late, and it was a tad lamentable how time flies when you are enjoying yourself. =)

Come Sunday, apart from the mad rush to church at Expo simply because I overslept, I was actually ministered to during Chinese service. If you know by now, my command of Chinese is purely touch-and-go. I find it weird that as much as I can read the words of the worship songs, the moment the pastors preach in Mandarin, quite a bit of it went over me. But nonetheless, I was really touched by His presence, so I am really thankful. Thereafter, went to meet a long-time buddy from days of yore (in JC) for a movie, and whilst wondering around thereafter, chanced on a travel exhibition. We decided to go in there just to browse around at the travel packages, and ended up plonking down some $$$ for a vacation. If you ask me, I'm way overdue for a long vacation beyond 5-hour flight radius from Singapore. So yup, booked ourselves a trip....totally looking forward to it.

Today, was blessed in another way, well sort of. My buddy called me up and asked me to go for a dinner with him, purely because it's his birthday today. As tired as I was, I went along. And I am glad I did. Caught up quite a bit on each other's lives and all. Truly, this has indeed been a rather fulfilling weekend.
