Just Another Blog Out There

I think this year is the first time I enjoyed my reunion dinner after so long. When I was much younger, I look forward to the Chinese New Year eve reunion dinner every year; you know, being a kid and stuff I enjoyed the food and celebrations. But as I grew up and grew distant from my family, it seems first like a duty, and then it became a chore. I no longer enjoyed having the CNY eve dinner--any meal, for that matter--—with my family members, because it's so awkward.

I was reflecting and praying to God on my way to meet my family at the restaurant for the reunion dinner just now when I felt the Spirit rebuking me. My attitude towards my family has been so wrong. Decitful pride has filled my heart all these while, and I distanced myself from them because I felt I was superior then them in every aspect. How wrong I was! I should be ashamed of myself!

Awareness is the first step towards reconciliation. I recongised my mistake, and in my heart I made up with God. How merciful He is! I was blessed with a good time with my family over dinner, and here I am, writing this entry.
