Remembering

What makes this year's  Father's Day a special occasion is that it also falls on my birth-date.

It is with a very mixed feeling that I am celebrating my birthday together with Father's Day today. For dad, it will be just like any other day. No special feast, no going out and he will be just as contented.

For me, I have come a milestone in my journey in life. Am feeling melancholic because recent events have taught me to re-evaluate my priorities in life - not that any major crisis had happened. I do not wish to remember God only when I'm in trouble, stuck, hurt, confused and worrying and needed Him to come rescue me from whatever tight spot that I'm in.

God is good and has always been good to me even on those tough and hard days when I'd forget Him and complain, whine, wail - forgetting that He is faithfully watching over me.

I'm learning to remember God daily; to know His presence and to feel His peace.
