Last week was a tiring week, especially when most of my colleagues are out overseas, leaving Justin & me running the whole show. In addition to that, we had to burn overtime (24 hours) on saturday. Naturally both of us were very very tired today. For my case, I was like having headaches all day long. However, God knows as He is Omnipotent. He has long planned for today to have us going back from work 3 hours early. I thank my Father.
Nothing much today, as per daily routine, just that I initiated a family dinner with my parents. We hardly have one - either one not free or another. It was actually a prompting, nothing of my own thoughts. It was quite sudden. While waiting for a bus, sudden a voice spoke, "Though King David sets a good example, though he was close to God and knowledgeable about His word, yet he did not handle his family well." Then a reply came, "What good am I if I know His word and yet have my family handled well. Have I not dishonored God?" Instantly, I smsed my Dad and my Mum.
Sadly, I did not manage to get my sister down for dinner. She is a studyaholic. Kiasu I would say. Even my mum gave a funny reply telling me that what happened when she informed my sister about today's dinner, saying, "Your sister is crazy! Study non-stop." At that moment, I nearly burst into laughter. Then during dinner, not much words were talked but I believe this is a stepping stone that God provided.
May I not be like King David, whom follows the Lord but yet did not handle his family well as was commanded in Corinthians, "Honor your parents." Nonetheless, God is good.
