.: Lets work while it is still day :.
Just got a news from My G12 mother that one of my g12 sister's dad passed away, and was sudden. When I saw that sms, I was stun, shocked! The first thing that came to my mind was definitely is she ok? I was just with her less then 4h ago and things then was still ok. Even as I went to watch the show "World Trade Centre" 3 days ago, the same question also struck me. We will never know what is going to happen just the next sec, the next min. With different lives illustrated in the show, it really shows that they went about their daily things that day as usual, but to find out just few hours into the morning, they will have ended themselves up lying in the ruins, struggling to stay alive. It was also then where they started to realised what they have not done, wat they should have done and how important the people around them were. Just like I only saw my sister just a while ago, and now I hear the news of her dad. I believe to her it will definitely be something more shocking, but it made me realised the reality of the urgency of the time. I mean every sec makes a difference, especially for someone struggling to live. Most importantly, if we have be able to share of the knowldege of the Lord Jesus Christ to him? Thankfully here, my sis's dad is a believer and she at least can take heart to know that she will be able to see him in heaven. It made me realise the urgency to share the gospel to my family members. Just a while ago, there once again was a 'war' in the house, dad was not happy with my sis as she did not make an effort to make full use of her time in revision. Actually this has been a common thing for argument in the house during this season, since my sis O levels are round the conner. For me, I just do not like it when voices get raised at home, and when my dad gets angry. I always try to ease the tension and in a way try to make things better during these times. However at times, I will just stay in the room and cry out to the Lord in prayer. I do not like all these, I do not understand how best I can help, but each time when these happen, all I know is that my parents need to know God. However for the matter just now, I actually got rather heated up and got a little mad over why my dad has to get angry over this and then come and nag at me, as if I am in the wrong. I knew I should not have got mad and guess it just adds on to the things that my dad is unhappy about with me. I know I need to be of a good testimony at home, such that they can see the God in me. I did try many times, and every time when tought time hits, it is really not easy! Even as I come to realise all these, I repented and just come at the feet of Jesus and really tell God I do not know what is best I can do to win my family, to let them know you, and I know time is ticking by...... God I really want my family to be save and I believe the best thing I can do is to pray and trust in you! Lets work while it is still day and not wait for night to come, as in the night we cant work already and it will be too late then!
