The two nights of carolling have been really nice. Thank God for the opportunity to sing praises to God and share the Joy of Jesus especially in this season.
I thought Chris and Yesh did very well in their solo parts, it always stunned the people, every time when they came up to sing people kept looking back kind of like asking, who's that singing. Good job girls. And of course to Li Ern who conducted the whole thing, making sure everyone knew what line came next in Silent Night among other things. And of course to everyone who made it on time or sort of on time and gave their voices and hands to carry the instruments and to bless others. To people like simon behind the scenes working, for pastor and aunty mei for their support and effort. Not forgetting other who came to show support and take pictures. ;)
It was a time where the girls looked their best, where they guys forgot the lyrics and looked silly just mouthing words. It was a time to relax and enjoy the season of good tiding to all men as we commemorate the birth of Jesus Christ.
Doing the interview for the Christmas service, we asked a few people on the street what they thought about Christmas and got a variety of responses but the one that really struck me was one where mdn. Agnes was saying, when we remember great people, we don't necessary celebrate the day they were born but rather their achievements and their accomplishments. Think of Christopher Columbus, or Thomas Edison, you don't have any memory of how they would have looked like when they were babies but rather we remember that for Chris, he discovered America and for Tom, sound.
Why don't we remember the greatness of Jesus in what He did and not how cute he was. Not to belittle the birth of Jesus, but for a change. Why not?
I feel so honoured to be part of the team, and I thank God for all the opportunities to be a blessing.
