Lately, I have been very busy as there are 2 major celebrations...my father's 80th Birthday and my parent's 52nd Wedding Anniversary celebrations. Finally, today is the DAY. 9.9.17. I really thank God that His grace is truly sufficient for my parents. To see that they now have a chance to walk down the aisle is truly the amazing grace of God. It is so romantic that my father looked at my Mom during the session on Renewal of Vows and then he elegantly looked at the crowd. How I am thankful for my parents for their genuine love and their dedication to us, 4 siblings. My father, who was a salesman then, though travelled regularly did not fail to bring us with him during his outstation trips during school holidays. During those days, there were no MPV nor SUV and hence, all four of us would be "sardined pack "in a sedan car travelling whole of Peninsular Malaysia, but we still find those period of time so memorable and our childhood meaningful. All I want to say is that parenting does not need lots of skills but purely and genuinely spending time with families even while you are working. When you have family in your heart, our words, actions and thoughts will naturally work and think in such a way to enhance the relationships in the family. Hope this will encourage all of us to celebrate FAMILY! In Psalms 128:6, it is stated that one is blessed when one lives to see his or her children's children. Let us do nothing out of selfish ambition or empty pride, but in humility consider others more important than yourselves. Each of us should look not only to our own interests, but also to the interests of others. Let this mind be in us which was also in Christ Jesus… (Philippians 2:3-5). Amen. #family #marriage #wedding #thanksgiving #devotion #blessings #children #parenting https://twitter.com/EstherOngHC
