My thoughts on this year, the Lunar year of Goat, is a hope for redeeming grace to be abound in our lives. This sounds a bit like deep philosophy but after what we went through in 2014, the year of Horse, which was supposed to be my Zodiac Year (golden horse, mind you), well, sad to say it did not end well last year. I and many others are still haunted by the tragic endings of not one, not two but three planes affliliated with Malaysia. That is enough bad news to keep us miserable for a life time !
There is a shadow of doubt within us, a dark shade in our mind, a fear in our heart, that this is just the beginning of the end for worse to come. Grieving takes time to heal and it takes moments to rebuild, to gather up strength to carry out.
Last year, with great anticipation, we welcomed into this world a beautiful baby girl into our home group couple, dear friends of ours, little did we expect that she would only live 15 days on earth, in those 15 days gave her parents much anxiety and worries, it was a big blow to our faith and belief. That God will allow suffering to little babies like Grace.
How does one come to terms with the after myth of all these tragic losses, how does one heart search for peace that supposed to surpass the grief, how to build a life with a bridge that runs over troubled water and not be affected, how to have peace that is everlasting and man cannot understand ? How Lord ?
