Take It To The Lord

Last Sunday we visited 小姑姐。心里除了痛还是痛。

My heart ached at the sight of my chair bound aunt. She cried upon seeing us. My eldest & 3rd aunt must have been in pain too.

One fought hard to hold back her tears while trying to give consolations. The latter simply left the room and burst into tears.

Youngest aunt's conditions have deteriorated. Her limbs have now all failed and her slurred, nasal articulations no longer makes much sense to us.

I cannot imagine the kind of misery she is going through - to become impotent, to be wasted away in every sense by some strange illness called Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS).

But take heart! The Lord is in control.

Thank God for aunt's sister-in-law Mei Hua aunty for earnestly taking care of my aunt.

Praise Lord for my obedient & understanding cousin and his cousins, for they all continue to stay strong in Christ.

Rejoice in Christ for Ah Ma who remins faithful & cheerful in the Lord.

May these lovely people continue to reflect Christ in them as they encourage and care for my aunt.

AMEN
