Thanks for your phone calls, sms, facebook message..... I am alright from last night's car accident.

Last night after having dinner with S, I took her back to college. On the way there I was hit by a 4WD from behind.

I was stationary at the junction of Old Prospect Rd trying to turn left into Cumberland Highway when a 4WD suddenly hit my car from behind. The impact was so large, my glasses fell off and I bit my tongue. Both S and I were so shocked.

I quickly hopped out of the car to see the extent of the damage and called honey. I asked S to take all the details of the "at fault" driver while I spoke to an independent witness (He was so nice, he stopped, offered help and even volunteered to be my independent witness).

It was quite dark to see the extent of the crash. I only knew it was quite bad. The 4WD had no dent at all. Thank God that he protected both S and I. I would feel so guilty if S was hurt.

From hindsight, I believe I could have avoided the accident, because had I been alone, I would have driven off, as the oncoming cars only began to accelerate from the traffic light, so I would have time to turn, but because I had a passenger on board, I was extra careful and stopped at the junction. 

Nevertheless, it proves one thing, no matter how careful we drive, we can never avoid other cars from hitting us.

Thank God that honey,  Hei Hei and Val weren't in the car. Thank God that both S and I were not hurt.

Again, thanks for all your concerns and care!

As for S, do you dare to be my passenger again? haha:)

Honey will be joining Dream for a short term mission to Canberra. Our whole family will be supporting her and we will all go down to Canberra together from Thursday to Sunday. Honey will be performing while my role for this trip is babysitter. It's the best role for this short term mission trip. Really looking forward to it:)

Cannot believe I havent been to Canberra for 10 years. My last trip was back in 1998 to see tulips with Honey (our first date outside Sydney). Now, with the grace of God, we are going back there again with 2 children on a mission. God is so amazing!!

Anyway, please pray for the STM trip. Please pray for the Dream team. Please pray that God will prepare the hearts of the non-believers that they will accept the precious gift of God.

Without Him, we cannot do anything!!

When I was small, I loved attending birthday parties. Probably because I never had my own birthday parties and so had to settled with attending other people's birthday parties.

When I was married, I loved attending weddings. Probably because I can see the best of everyone.

Now I would rather attend funerals. Not that I am getting older. But because the joy of attending birthday parties or wedding is temporary and rarely would I reflect on life in those events. But attending funeral is different. It gives me a time to reflect on life and see the true reality of who I am, just a mortal being.

The world teaches us to strive for everything. The world encourages us to find a beautiful wife, buy a large house, buy a luxurious car. But a beautiful wife will one day grow old and "ugly", and when we farewell this world, we cannot bring with us the large house or expensive car.

The world teaches us to invest, but it only teaches us to invest in this world. We dont have to leave this world to lose everything, just a global financial crisis and we are all crying.... But the bible says our life on earth is short compared to eternity. If we are wise we would invest in eternity, where there will never be any loss or bad returns.

Funerals allow us to reflect on our lives. Only when we are confronted with death do we start to realise how to live. Someone once said "We learn to live, when we learn to die"

Death is inevitable and everyone will experience it. If death was the end, then we can do what we please on earth. But unfortunately, death is not the end, it is merely a departure from this world to the next. The bible says that everyone will die, and after death there is judgement. One day, God will judge everyone of us and we must give an account of what we did on earth.

No one will be innocent. We all know that. We are all sinners (we may deny it, but deep down we know we do and think bad things). Everyone will be punished to hell. However, because of love, Jesus Christ was willing to pay this price and he died on our behalf, whoever believes in him will not die, but have eternal life.

My friends, God loves you. he doesnt want to see you get punished. Are you willing to accept him and receive this wonderful gift of life? Its very easy to get it. All we have to do is to confess we are a sinner, accept him as our saviour and lord.

The funeral I attended today, we were told that brother P's greatest wish was all his friends and relatives accept this gift of eternal life so that one day we will meet again. This is the promise of God.

Which would you rather attend? birthday party, wedding or funeral?

We dont know how long we will live, but we do know God has given us an opportunity to accept him. This opportunity will cease when we depart this world. Then it will be too late!!!

Have you invested in eternity yet?
