I blogged a similar entry in my blog.. and i thot that i wanna share this here too!
August is a special month...
Not my birthday.. but it's National Day.. Special place in my heart.. cos i'm Singaporean.. Was juz watching a program.. how Singapore became a nation..
Special mention about the parade in 1968.. how it rained on the day of the celebration.. but everyone was already at attention.. and awaiting the arrival of the PM and President. Interestingly, everyone juz stood in the rain.. including spectators.. PM came out of his limo and walked steadily to his seat and joined the rest of the ministers in the rain..
It was heart warming to see how everyone was determined not to let the rain get to them.. children included as the choir sang the national anthem in the rain.. a simple parade.. not like the parades of these years.. but the Singaporean spirit no doubt was evident!
Today, we also celebrated the 20th anniversary of FCBC..
Even as i was watching the program, how Singapore became a nation after we were 'cut off' by Malaysia, it dawned upon me a certain revelation.. and drew the parallel with how FCBC was started when my pastor was 'disowned' by his previous church...
And i was pleasantly surprised at how much blessings have been poured on us.. as a nation and as a church.. May God continue to bless us even more!
