my first 100k blessing

Last Thurs, while working, someone called me from behind, and as I turned around, I saw Uncle Nelson Lam, whose on his motorised wheelchair.

Uncle Lam, a 60 yr old retiree...friend who is physically challenged with post-polio..

I got to know Uncle Lam two years plus back in Jurong Point, when I rented a pushcart there during Christmas season... He stays in Boon Lay with his elderly parent.. So in order to keep a active lifestyle, he goes out daily to shopping centres and such to hang around. He made friends with retailers and he has become a familiar side to the shop owners in JP... So when i was in JP, i see him so often and I made friend with him.

He was actually one of the 23 founders of Handicaps Welfare Association (HWA) - http://www.hwa.org.sg/ some 40 years ago. this was my first company that i worked at few years back.

Uncle Lam's a friendly old guy who is very easy to chat with and he knows my family members too. When my mum was working alone at JP then, there were times when she needs to go to the loo, so Uncle Lam will help to take care of the pushcart when she is not around. my dad knows him too..

Back to the story, Uncle Lam knows i work in Suntec so he came by to find me, and left a short while later. later, he smsed me soemthing and end off with a " God bless you." I was surprised as i tot he's not a Christian.. So i asked him..

He just simply replied" trying to .."

So i figured he must be interested to find out more about the faih. U can imagined my excitement as its so CRYSTAL CLEAR that he is near, and God is using me and this season to reach out to him.

So the next day, i went to JP to find him at KFC and have a good chat with him. And in the conversation , he mentioned about how he appreciate God for blessing him repeatedly. Yet, its clear that he has not believed in God.

He seems so near, yet i was not convicted that i should just proclaimed God's kingdom upon his life.

I think God used the time to 'return' me to a state of patience and love for ppl, and not just a hit-n-run relationship.

As i go along, there's a natural tendency for me to just share a John 3:16 and push the faith on someone who showed a whiff of hint of being near to God's kingdom. But God showed and impressed on me that that's should not always bethe case... as every situation is unqiue.

It seems to me that God is more interested in teaching me to love someone with a heart, His heart.
Praise God!
So i just showed him the 12 blessings, and he asked for health. and i prayed for him that.

Surprisingly, he is moving house with his parent this june/july... Guess where is he moving to?

Sengkang!

So much nearer and thus easier for me to reach out to him!

This revelation showed me that this meeting is divinely set-up by God.

And i bless him in prayer with a smooth transition too..

And i stopped there with a prayer of blessings. in this case, i think God's more interested in me taking a more patient , loving manner of blessin Uncle Lam instead of just sharing for the sake of sharing.

Something is just different, don't know how to put it.
Anyway, i do think its better this way.

Thank God for this opportunity. its God send... and its has been my prayer for long to reach out to uncle Lam, and God has make it possible. Praise God, i look forward to the day when Uncle Lam come to know the Lord.

Hallelujah!

This is so exciting!
