fellowship - impt or not?

really thank God it's sat again & of cos, for YF. was glad to have dn gideon & auntie irene share their testimonies with us. as dn gideon spoke of the old YF days, i couldn't help but envy the youths of his time. he shared abt how they used to come so eagerly for YF, how they played sports after each meeting, sometimes gng to the reservoir together for a run, and then gng for dinner together at west coast hawker centre & tt each YFer really looked forward to every sat to have fellowship with fellow brothers & sisters-in-Christ. i guess tt's something tt youths of our time has taken for granted. very few ppl would look forward to seeing their church friends, much less look forward to YF on a sat afternoon, esp when it's a day they can spend with other friends somewhere else, having fun. it's sad tt the kinda spirit tt used to exist during the old YF times no longer lives in ours. but m still very thankful to God for each YFer, esp the younger ones, who make it a point to come for YF each sat afternoon. i must say tt tho i don't get to talk to all of them a lot, i really appreciate their presence & their presence never fails to encourage me. whether or not to come for YF? it's really a tough choice but ultimately, still a choice we all have to make. how often we turn up or, rather, the effort put in to make it a point (and not out of convenience), in a way, actually reflects how much we treasure the opportunity to meet our friends at YF.

i thank God for today's time of thanksgiving & prayer with the girls. i felt tt today's was more heart-to-heart sharing & i pray tt we'll always be willing to testify of the Lord's goodness to us.

thank God also for a wonderful time spent with josiah, jonathan & darrell over dinner. cool huh...haa...siblings dinner. we didn't have any problem looking for seats this evening since there were only 4 of us and dinner ended so early we could even go to cafe galilee's for drinks. but of cos...i look forward to having a huge group at dinner again soon : )
