It was an opportunity for me personally to celebrate the goodness of God in so many ways over these years. The most important of those ways being that as I look back, I can see that I am growing in my journey with the Lord. Thank you for the wonderful messages on the cards and for the gift (rechargeable lamp) see photo below. I was very happy when I opened it at home. We started using the gift right away! Recently, I was considering buying this kind of lamp for our home due to constant electricity outage. So it is a very timely and useful gift. As I was reflecting upon my years with SIL and looking at the farewell gift, it reminded me of one of my favourite verses in Matthew 5:13 "You are a light of the world - like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father" This certainly a very significant gift.
Special thank you to each one of you because of the wonderful impact you have made in my life as we serve together.
