Appreciate It?

On February the 4th, a sister in the Lord texted me this message that encouraged my heart. I was glad about one thing, after I read her note: That indeed someone was reading my websites or blogs, and appreciating it in some way! (Those of you who blog will understand what I am thinking here: Blogging can be very time-consuming indeed!!) So, readers, if you are reading my blogs, it would be nice if you can drop me a line or two!

Let me write out our text conversation as follows, so I can preserve it, hopefully for the benefits of some people. (For your info, these exchanges took place in the context of a dear brother and pastor who recently WENT on to be with the Lord. He served God faithfully for many years. Being obese was one of his challenges. Said by some to have been called to be with the Lord, we both kind of agreed that he could have served longer, had he been more careful with his diet):

Ray, 2305Hr:
Many thanks sis. God is great & worthy to be praised & Served at all times! Blessed be e Name of e Lord God! He’s Almighty!!> Even then, I feel His hands are tied when we r not walking in His wisdom. Good nite & hv a wonderful renewing rest!

Thank God, a pastor narrowly escaped death (given 3 months to live). Had it not been 4 his dear and WISE wife, he would have been dead by now. (Thank e Lord for wise women! Wise people are v rare these days. You might want to meet up w her one of these days. ??? Can introduce u, if u like? U’ll be uplifted and blessed. V nice woman!) Pastor has gone out of danger now, and recuperating. Such scenarios as e above, unfortunately, are quite hard to come by. Instead, I hear of pastors weakening or even perishing well before their time.



Hope the above short (but lopsided!! He!He!He!) conversation has been helpful to you. If you like it, forward it to your friends.

Bye, Ray Chee
