This morning, my wife shared with me a news article which featured my former lecturer in Singapore Bible College. He won an ExtraOrdinary Caretaker Giver award. As I read his story, I could not help but crying and felt emotional in the inside.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
He is one of the person that I admire and respect. Not because of his charm, or intellect, or influence, or help. But merely because he went through a lot, and despite all those, he is still joyful and dedicated teacher. He threw his ambition to get a PhD in Theological studies, despite his brilliant knowledge. He also didn’t go very far in academic proffession, but he is one of the most dedicated and hardworking lecturer I had.<\/p>\n
Reading through the report, I just could not imagine how much he and his wife had went through all these years. It must be extremely tough if not impossible.<\/p>\n
And yet, his closing testimony was remarkable. I quoted here:<\/p>\n
“Learn to take one day at a time. We make plans and hold them tentatively. In crisis situations, learn to expect nothing, and anything else you get can be seen as a bonus and cause for rejoicing.<\/em>”<\/p>\n If there’s one thing his life model and inspire and affirm, I would think that suffering molds a person better than anything else. Character that went through suffering, would emerge beautiful, like the Lord Jesus.<\/p>\n Here the full story:<\/p>\n
