Visit to Orphanage


I went to an orphanage with my church members. The children there are happy. We went there with some stationary as gift and sing song and play game with them. They are very friendly to stranger as us. I feel they desire being loved very much as they like to lie on our body during game session.

I saw a big scar on the leg of one of the child. Probably it is a mark of abuse. Thanks to the hard work of the orphanage worker, the children though abused before, now live happily and healthy.

During the time when we were going to leave, one of the child is sad to leave. She keep hugging every one of us, and waving when we leave. I really feel like to come visit them regularly to accompany them for their childhood. I do tell some of them Jesus love them, but can I show them what I said?

(Matthew 25:40) The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'

Renewal Badminton Session


Last Tuesday I went to play badminton with my colleague. It is really a wonderful badminton session. I win most of the game and very motivated to win. This is unusual for me. Normally, I take everything easy. Winning or losing does not make any different to me. That is the reason I am always the loser. And this make my life miserable. The consequence of this attitude is loss hope, because I do not hope at all.

It is just a badminton session trigger my inner desire to be a victor. The feeling of victory are so wonderful that I miss for many years. The second lesson learned is victory only come with some tactic.

(Isaiah 57:10) You were wearied by all your ways, but you would not say, 'It is hopeless.' You found renewal of your strength, and so you did not faint.
