Happy Father's Day!

It was Sunday.
Woke up to rush down for service.
No time for make-up, the usual girl things... whatever, who cares.
Though it is good to take good care of ourselves, but 1 Pet 3:3-4 emphasizes inward beauty isn't it so?
Therefore, to me and whoever who cares to read this blog, Be secure! :D
Besides, it takes a lot of effort and time to put on make up everyday.
So, just save time and money.

At the bus stop, I spend a really long time waiting for the bus.
Meanwhile, I looked around and saw two couples walking pass the bus stop.
This is the picture of the first one I saw - the old lady having leg pain and limping, while the old man is holding her hands and walking along.



How sweet...
I wonder how many couples last like that until that age.

I think about myself now, and I thank God I can still walk properly.
Can run, can swim, can jump.
If something happen to me, and I started limping, who is going to take care of me?
Unless there is a second Joshua Lim in the world, but he is already taken! Hahaha...

And then, minutes later, I saw an opposite sight.
It was also a couple, but the old man was walking IN FRONT of the old lady, while the old lady and trying her best to walk in front.
Of course, it is not good to judge people at first sight.
But I wonder, why couldn't the old man slow down to walk beside the old lady?
Is it that difficult to slow down and just patiently walk beside her?
Maybe my expectations is too high.
Or maybe I have been seeing too many good examples of good husband in the church, so this has become my first reaction.
I guess my future BF or husband must learn to be a patient person then.

Well, enuf said, I went for service and was reminded of Father's Day.

Had a sudden impulse to wish Michael a Happy Father's Day!
Will be doing that later... hopefully it won't make him feel old suddenly.

Besides Michael, dinner was the real Father's Day dinner with my real earthly father.
We had food at Dian Xiao Er and we took a family photo together.

(I remember the words Shiyan told me last year: Amy, you must take a photo with your father and your loved ones because you never know when they will never be with you anymore.)





It was a simple dinner.
But, I thank God for the many years of sweat and blood that my father put in to bring us up financially.
How he guide me and my sister in some of our decisions, encourage us, and being responsible always to ensure we are really well fed.
Generally, my sister and I had a fairly good life because of father's hard work.
It's been a good 25 years.
It is time he can really shake leg.
In a few years time.





Anyways, it was shopping time after dinner!








Girls, who can resist products on offer?! :D
