our 1st YF meeting
praise the Lord for a really blessed time of fellowship among the youths this afternoon...it was really heartwarming to see so many 'new' faces...like keith & kevin liang, alicia ng, magdalene simon, stephanie...i really thank God for moving the hearts of those who came today : )
thank God also for the creativity, time & effort of darrell & lydia, with the help of annabel in games-planning...i must say i really enjoyed myself playing the games! it's been a long time since the older youths like me, dear or ss could actually sit back and be participants of the games...thank God tt the younger youths are now taking over these responsibilities!
the wacko game-with-a-twist we played today actually made me see something in us humans. in this game, 2 circles are formed - an inner circle & an outer one. only the names of the ppl in the inner circle will be called. the duty of the ppl on the outer circle, who will be standing behind each person on the inner circle, is to be the voice of the one sitting down. so when the person's name is called, he/she cannot call for anor name. the person behind him/her will have to do it...so if the person is slow, too bad for the one who has been wacked.
now...this game actually makes u see how we as humans are so used to just defending, or protecting ourselves. we are quick to defend (and in the case of wacko, call out anor person's name) ourselves...but when it comes to doing it for others, we tend to be less on the alert. there's this, you know, selfish nature in us?
but i must also highlight what ss did during the game. i was pretty surprised actually. when youren's name was being called, ss was not fast enough in calling out anor person's name...but before the person with the stick could wack youren, ss actually moved quickly to block the person from hitting youren, and as a result got wacked himself. i hate to admit this (cos it's ss!!! argggghhh! haharz), but yeah, i tot tt act was pretty selfless : ) isn't this what we as Christians should be like? anyway...m a making sense? haa...but anyway, just thank God for this really small but impt lesson i got from the game...
had a really crazy refreshment session...all the junk food...and the ice-cream was the worst! we got a tub of ice cream and kept squeezing hershey's chocolate topping all over it...after eating the top layer, we'd add anor layer...haa...how 'sinful'!
anyway...just wanna once again, thank God for the wonderful time i had with my fellow brothers/sisters-in-Christ today...Hallelujah!
