celebrated daddy's birthday at kuishinbo yesterday. took funny pictures and decided to post them. gave us quite a good laugh. haha.
garage was awesome. kudos to the performing arts ministry man. the band was great, the singing was captivating and the sharing by marcus just wraps it all up. i'm so glad that i was there. wouldnt want to be anywhere else at that moment. not even at fusion. for a cause like this, nothing else can compare.
it's easy
to think about love
to talk about love
to wish for love
but it's not easy
to recognise love
love is everywhere, whether you like it or not. be it bgr, family or simply love between friends. the fact that you would give up your seat, lend a helping hand, help someone up or even shake hands with your opponent after a game reveals love.
no matter the form of love, we have to admit that love can sometimes disappoint, or even fail. that's because human love is imperfect. as hard as we try to search for it, to keep it, to secure it with all we have, human love is imperfect. that's the cold hard truth that's sometimes so hard for us to face because we all long for love. is there really no hope for a love that will never fail? is there really such a thing as everlasting love?
"out of ten songs about love, five have sad endings. for the rest of them, they have no endings at all."
"Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends."
this song reminded me of the fragility of love, if not made perfect in Christ. the story of 5 men who gave all they had, beyond the gates of splendour.
No Greater Love-Steven Curtis Chapman
Man of courage with your message of peace
What is that look in your eyes?
Why have you come to this faraway place?
What is this story you would lay down your life to tell?
What kind of love can this be?
There is no greater love than this
There is no greater gift that can ever be given
To be willing to die so another might live
There is no greater love than this
Broken hearted from all you have lost
How can you sing through your tears?
What is this music that can bear such a cost?
What is this fire that grows stronger against the wind?
What kind of flame can this be?
This is the love that God showed the world
When He gave us His Son
So we could know His love forever
Beyond the gates of splendour
do you recognise love?
