J-U-B-I-L-E-E

As our nation celebrates her 50th birthday, the Jubilee Year, we have much much much to be thankful for, and areas to continue working on to be an even better nation!

Some 51,000 of us gathered on 5 Jul 2015 at our newly opened indoor stadium where there was
1. a Prayer for our Prime Minister 
2. gave thanks for leaders who were blessed with wisdom and unity, and who led our city state to where we are today;
3. continue to ask for wisdom as our current leaders are tasked with leading us into the next 50 years and
4. bless the next generation - those below 35 years of age, as they will have to stand up for what is right and continue to hold our flag high.

May we be the Antioch of the east and bless the nations around us - 
1. with generosity (not to only look at building bigger, better houses for ourselves only);  
2. with grace (to thank those who have left their homelands to help us build our homes, to take care of our homes, and take care of us in our public transport, public hospitals, public places);
3. with patience (when we travel to their land, to hold our tongue and know that they may operate at a different pace than us)

As I reflect on the 3 hours that we spent at the Jubilee Day of Prayer, I can still feel the goosebumps when we lifted our voices in unison - this, to me, is a prelude to what will be in when we see our Maker face to face!  :)
