The ragged pieces of ideas and thoughts of my attempt to live a life as a contemporary monastic in the urban city of Singapore..
I ate a Navel orange on my way to work this morning. If orange cannot be easily segmented and its one whole lump when the skin is peeled, it would have been messy and I wouldn't have enjoyed that nice Navel orange. So with orange created so wonderfully, how can God not be real ?
I'm thinking of all the great things that God is doing and I have very little to think about. Upon some persistence, I remembered how God did an amazing work in the children's service last Sunday where I saw the kids worship like never before. I also remember some testimonies of Mag's counselling successes. Even so, I still pray that I will have the mind of God so that I can fathom more of the wonder of God.
Some of the reasons why people don't count their blessings because they cannot remember their blessings, or they don't know what it is ? or maybe they are just poor in math. Some will say its just a figure of speech, don't be silly and move on, it's ridiculous to count them one by one.
Well as ridiculous as it may sound, I did just that a while ago and I got myself 5 pages of blessings written down given the time for me to write. If I had more time, it could be more. So its worthwhile sitting down and do it. I think it'll mean so much to our soul if we just do ridiculous activities like counting our blessings.
