We were told that there were some relatives from Perth coming to Singapore for a stopover and that they would be putting up at our place. So late Saturday, Dan and I started doing a little spring cleaning [about a couple of hours to be exact]. I had also made reservations at a restaurant for lunch on Sunday with Sarah's Godpa and Godma. It turned out that the relatives ended up staying at another cousin's house and Sarah's godparents had to rush off to attend to something. I thought to myself, "So now we have a really clean house and reservations for 4 at a restaurant near church but no visitors and 2 extra seats for lunch?" Hmmm...I was just thinking to myself and praying that the Lord would bring people so that we could have a wonderful time of fellowship in the Lord. We have always hoped that Sunday lunches would be deliberate and meaningful.
The Lord would have it that a couple who started Grace Dental Mission, Dr Jack and Jennifer Mitchell was in church that Sunday. The person who was to take them out for lunch had something to attend to and thus we took over to play host. So off we headed to our lunch venue, reservations just for 4:) Over lunch, Daniel and Dr Jack spoke about the dental mission and Mrs Mitchell was sharing with me about her experiences as a Christian mother and the training she gave to her children through bible stories, games and discipline. It was a blessing to my heart to learn as well as to see people whose life were dedicated to the Lord and to spreading Christ's message to a lost and dying world. Later that afternoon, they popped over to our 'clean house' to take a look at what a Singaporean flat looked like.
A lovely afternoon - and I can't help but see God's faithfulness and love for his servants who are out in the frontline. Perhaps, God made us clean our house and make the reservations at the restaurant just for them. Well, that could be my small mind trying to understand a Great God. But truly, the Lord provides.
