Making a difference

This year marks a new beginning in the way I relate to my parents. It all started from an idea that was birthed after I heard Huiyin mentioned that she brought her grandma and mother to buy new year clothes.

I purposed in my heart to get something for my dad this new year since its the pig year and he is a 'pig' (meaning born in the year of a pig). So I went to Suntec and ordered a 'golden pig' from Singapore Mint.

Last weekend, my dad came home and it was also time for me to collect the 'golden pig'. Plus my mum demanded that we go out and eat (cos its her birthday in a few days time: a yearly ritual). So I made my stand that we should eat at Suntec. Well, we had a good lunch. Tried out korean food and my mum loves it. (Good! Now we can have a different variety of food when we go out and eat in future.)

I collected the 'golden pig' and just at that moment, my parents came up the escalator and they saw it. So I just told my dad that it was for him. (At the back of my mind, I am thinking how I can prevent my mum from being jealous cos this is the first time I get something for my parents, other than treating dinner + that 'pig' isn't cheap!)

Well, somehow, my dad struck lottery that day. It made his day though I wonder if the SA TAN tried to hook my dad to believing that pig idol brought him luck.

To cut the long story short. I also told my mum that I want to get her new year clothes. And this morning, I paid for her skirt that she wanted to get.

Dear friends, I am starting to believe that something good will come out from my obedience to show my love to my parents in this manner and I pray that I will continue to be a good testimony for them starting from this year. God willing, He will save them.

Let's believe that God will deliver our parents.

Your testimonies about your family really encourages. Let's trust God together.
