Birthday!
Just turned another year older a few days ago; and by the grace of God, hopefully wiser as well!
Thanks to many for the kind words and gifts and songs and cakes and chocolates on both Saturday and Sunday… I really appreciate them all!
During one of the services, just as I was about to lead the prayer meeting, one of our leaders came up to me and encouraged me with some very heart-felt words. She said that many people are with me and they are assured of how God is leading through me! She was so honest and sincere. That’s a real encouragement to me!
Then later in the day, I had some one-on-one time with a leader. He said very similar things to me as well.
That encouraged me a lot. I know that if I had done anything good, it must have been God working through me. It strengthened me to know that I am not alone; God and many others are walking with me in this journey of extending His rule and reign together.
Once again, thanks and I really appreciate you all!

Happy belated birthday Pastor Jeff =D
hi eve, great to hear from you. how are things in down under?
Thanks YA!
Hey Andrew, hope you are doing well in your new job :)
PJ, happy birthday. Its true, many are behind you.
See you at the end of the race.
Why do people always tend to give cakes and chocolates on birthdays? So unhealthy, especially for people above a certain age.
Gifts given with good intentions but undesirable outcome is something we should hold in deeper thought.
I have no tangible birthday gift for you, Ps Jeff! But a healthy "food for thought" instead.
Happy philosophical birthhday!
