finally the bulk of my papers are over and i'm left with one more next wed..but can relax slightly now...

believe all of you have heard abt the deaths of the 5 dragonboaters at Cambodia..went down last night to attend the funeral of one of them, Reuben Kee..he was lance's friend back in nyp..i was quite shocked by the huge crowd which was present at the wake... Many were people who have, one way or another, crossed the path of Reuben's life and more importantly, their lives have been touched through Reuben. And they were there to pay their last respects because of the impact which Reuben had placed in their lives. Listening and reading about the many testimonies by loved ones and friends really touched me deeply and I can say he is a greatly respected man of God who had lived his life to his fullest potential, using his life to make a difference to others.

At that moment, I had a personal reflection as I sensed the Lord reminding me of how I had led my life thus far. Have I lived my life to its fullest potential? Am I able to touch more lives and make a difference in more lives? It became clear to me that that was the answer which I was seeking the Lord for. This being my examination period, I was concerned with how my results would turn out. However, the Lord showed me through the life of Reuben just how important it is to be a light for others rather than being boiled down by one's results. One's good results may go to pass one day but a change to a life of another may last a lifetime.

Reuben had lived his life to his fullest potential and I'm sure the spirit he displayed will be passed on and the memories will be remembered by all who had been impacted by him. I'm glad to see the family rest assured in the eternal destiny of Reuben. May the Lord continue to bind the family together in His love....
