teething problems???...under the current

ah... finally reached...what do you think? a destination???
my blogspot lah
you wont believe it and may be wont be able to understand it
well i can only say
PLEASE PLEASE be very patient with a slow learner - a L-licence user
ok so what s new?
an occupied week preparing for the children s christmas party
finally the day came and now it s over
God is good- the weather was beautiful considering the fact that it rained every afternoon the few days before! water supply was off that afternoon due to a burst pipe nearby but you know what? beautiful people imported water from home to prepare the drinks!
And we had a wonderful time together with the many children and their parents.

Under the current i see...

* God You are the Lord of the sunshine and You are the Lord of the rain... as the lyrics of one song go... very true in the way of the weather conditions for the day

* You dont need to be perfect You just need to give your best in what you do .... the tambourine dance and the skit .... the people involved young and old.... with all the glitches technical and human..... the directing of a bunch of hyper energy playful kids ooohhh well it was a trying learning time for those involved but you know what ..... there was FUN in both the practices and the final product!

* A cluster of lights shining for God.... faithfully in the various corners...
-the folks who quietly use their creativity and sarongs,tee shirts, towels and the like to dress up the young actors and actresses - very innovative indeed!
-the ones who, weeks before, patiently handle the dance and skit practices - sacrificing time and energy
-the women who don the wok to cook up a simple cuisine and amidst the 'drought' ensure our thirst is quenched
-the ladies who take the wheel of the van and cars to ferry the kids for the occasion
-those who brighten up the place for the party....putting up the decorations.. soaring up to precarious heights to do so .... syabas
-the silent ones lugging chairs and tables to get the physical arrangement in order
-the faithful ones welcoming and registering details of visitors
-the hospitable making the guests [parents] feel at home
-the many many pairs of hands which clear up the place when all is over
and finally but surely......
*The hand of God working through the assortment of hands of His people...Hallelujah!

what a beautiful scene under the current....

role reversal

talk about the old and wise teaching the young
that is the norm right
but yesterday it was the reverse
my daughter helped me start this blog
cant remember exactly how.... whether i carelessly ask if i can blog
then she gave me a special occasion laugh and i said why not??
you know this cyber world mostly the young and IT savvy......
then
mum do you want a blog?
who me? 'the eyes and ears failing her and even her feet' me?
also the 'dont know where to click what' on the computer type of user
me the one who sometimes feels like giving the computer a good spanking when a simple task of checking and replying the mail takes ages
talk about slowness........
so within a minute ' mum, blogspot created can blog now'
now ah? no no nothing cooking yet in my brain cells.... just leave it as it is for the moment

now wondering whether i am sure i want to blog
it s like an open diary right?
maybe mine will become a post-less blog or phantom one????
well my daughter ensures it wont be so
today ' mum, you want to blog now?'....no more excuse so here i am!
anyway thanks my dear daughter for teaching me and being very patient with me
that s why i titled this first entry as 'role reversal'
now is the time the young teaching us the old and supposedly wise and more experienced ones..
well this is the day!
