Family, I seems to be struggling to be with all of them, and realised how Dad feels, helpless but on the other hand, hopes, like today's meeting, where none, except Annabel came.
Frustration there is certainly.

Struggles, and pains in the family, makes joy something that I really treasure more and more. Well, maybe pain is something that makes us feels alive. Well, like now.
While I am writing my devotions, my younger sister is complaining to me, how come her boyfriend is not saying encouraging things to her. Well, on my side, most probably she doesn't know that her boyfriend is trying his best to provide her the ebst way in studies, maybe a bit too practical but I do see the heart of his boyfriend, always wanting the best for the gal he loves. :)
Well, she was crying after I explained to her. On the other hand, I will do the same if I am the guy. Well, my gal didn't tell me what she wants though I need to be sensitive.

It, more or less, hurts me, but I believe, she has to work it out something, especially times when she feels moody, like just a moment.
The joy of the family gathering together is important, and I am committed to the family, not letting it break by anyone, otherwise, I will target that person to practise my tongue skills. Like what Dad has always said, never let gossips spreads in the family, even though they are indeed what they are. Rather, pray hard, and do you need to do as a brother, as a christian. Best, help to correct her, because if you did use a serious tone, sure he will listen, because after all, we are still siblins.

A family is like music, a band. One musical instrument, doesnt make a great difference. One musical instrument sounds lonely. It can make difference but it still face its physical limits. It will be different if they are together.
A group of instruments makes life. A group of instruments doesn't only enhance the music, it also enhance any individual instrument, just by working it out. It's like a family.
On the other hand, it must always be harmonised, so make things smooth, and makes music, worth listening. :)

As I was looking for something to teach the kids tomorrow, the chapter of "Tent of meeting" comes to me. God is using the tent to talk to me eventually every sunday. The kids, and of course there are something for me to repent. REally, thank God for this time. It certainly enlightening what to teach them for tomorrow. :)
The Tent of meeting refers to lots of thing, like Fear of the Lord and Moses's holy and righteousness. Every sunday I realised I am talking to God, whether is in Gkids or during service, really thanks God.

14But their minds were made dull, for to this day the same veil remains when the old covenant is read. It has not been removed, because only in Christ is it taken away. 2 Corinthians 14.
I have always ask myself this question, have I worked on my salvation to see the Glory of Christ?
15Even to this day when Moses is read, a veil covers their hearts. 16But whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. 17Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 18And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect[a] the Lord's glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.
Feel the freedom that He has given to you, because there is true freedom. The Tent of Meeting Him is always everywhere we are going. That salvation that I have been working and running after, has given me the freedom in this world by Him, as we're working to be like Him, let this Tent of Meeting brought into the place of my home and those who are around me. :)

There is power in His Name!
After all, all the frustrations and struggles is worth it. :)

Thank God and PRaise God. :)
