For there's no other way
This comes from a Lutheran hymn I haven't sung since we came to KL (it's a bit old fashioned *smile*) but today I am reminded of it. We had an event planned with the kids from Rumah Hope at a park so we could play some games and let them run around a bit. When we got up though it was raining and it stayed that way until we got there. We started calling each other to see what alternatives we could put in place but there were not many at late notice.
Then as we arrived at the park we saw the sun peeking through
So we had hope and started some games
The kids enjoyed trying to stone the dragons tail
Uncle Keat Lim did a great job of leading them
Everybody wanted a turn
And the worm was just as popular as it busily swallowed children
During refreshments we were surprised by a clown ( who is it ?)
the kids were rapt
smiles were plentiful
There was plenty of fun about
And we couldn't have wished for a better gang of God's children
So why trust and obey ? he made the rain to make things cool, he stopped it when we were ready to start, he left us with joy......
this is a great picture-movie-storyboard-like report. I love it ... how about posting it on BLC's blog as well ... it will automatically get sent to the respective emails (for those who are not into blogging culture yet *yet*)
I was indeed doing two things when I woke up seeing it drizzle heavily. One, prayed - and checking with God about his sense of humor (perhaps) and lessons he's possibly teaching us. Two, allowed my mind to roam for alternatives (just in case).
But, frankly .. there was a small voice that said ... it will be ok ... and it was more than ok .. it was good and great! All praise to the one who created the park, and the nature in which rain and sunshine is part of ... and most important of all the Rumah Hope kids, BLC Kids, Shell Kids ... some people who passed by and struck a conversation (I remember a Father taking his son I presume whom I could see had learning disabilities) - precious moments.
