Love is Sacrifice
Thank God for:

Reinforcing the message "Love is Sacrifice" which I learnt over Xmas this morning when I was at canteen duty with choir

Showing me that Love is Sacrifice, and willing me to make sacrifices

Bringing me home at the right time this evening

Giving me the wisdom and courage to follow His will and take a first step out of the ordinary

My dad prompting me to join in the conflict resolution

My not disobeying dad out of irritation, biasness and pride

My dad calling and cautioning my aunts on the importance of the meeting

My willingness to 'sacrifice' by not avoiding but confronting and stepping into the pile of deep mess and sh*t

Your being very much present with my aunts, mom and myself as we headed to older bro's place, and discussed our opinions and approach to take for the 'confrontation'

Enlightening and empowering us, esp my aunts, with the right perspective, attitude, wisdom, compassion, love, and charity in speaking the exact right words at the right time to them

My aunts' deep sharing of their own trials in their marriage lives

My mom having the wisdom and ability to keep her cool and listen

Showing all of us how fortunate and blessed we are in the current 'dismal' situation

Showing him the problem exisiting, and optimism in the midst of trial

Guiding her to a sense of hope and commitment to change

My plucking up the courage to give my 2 cents worth I hope could be of help to them

Overcoming my decade-long barrier, embarrassment and pride, and opening the gate to expressing my suppressed love for them

Realising that my 'sacrifice' became a reward to myself

Each of us coming out of the 'negotiation' as better people

Showing all of us hope, faith and love amidst complete darkness

Emptying us of inhibitions and appearances, and allowing the experience of real liberation and the joy that comes with it

My aunt confirming and letting me know the impt role I can play in this situation

My aunt being Your light and spreading Your word

Joining us all in prayers

Giving us a new beginning in 2008
