This family of four came to the Care Home to spend time with the boys again. The previous day, they had requested us to prepare two things for this morning programme. When Grace began her story telling session and asked Joseph to wear the garbage bag, she was referring to our situations without Jesus. We felt ourselves stupid, abandoned, useless, etc.
When later, Joseph removed the filthy rag and put on the white blanket, it signified that we were given a new identity by God through His Son Jesus Christ. In these new garments, we had become precious children of God to love one another.
Not only the children,
we adults were also touched by the story, thinking of how we were before we followed Jesus and how God had transformed us since we began to commit our lives into His mighty hands.
At the end of the session, Peter and Grace opened the altar for the CCH children. The boys went forward one by one to be prayed for. The couple also gave a prophesy on each of them.
It was such a spiritual moment that I saw tears in Paul, Albert and Peter T's eyes.
Later, we also sat down to discuss shortly how to improve the Care Home, before heading to George's open house for lunch.
After that, we said goodbye to our Singaporean brothers and sisters in Christ who looked forward to visiting CCH again to see good changes.
Of course, we attended the important Christmas service at CLA in the evening to enjoy a beautiful musical
and tasty refreshments. I was glad that my blog friend Vince had turned up for the second time.
And I was very excited to have a new lovely foster "son" David, whose smiles and giggles often reminded me of myself.
Surrounded by big and small angels of CCH, this Christmas was indeed a very meaningful one to me.
