CNY boring or interesting?
Last few days were a good time with family and friends...1st day of CNY, my bros and sis came and visit my parents. Some of relatives came as well. Though we meet only once a year, sometimes same kind of questions were post to me and me to them. It may seems a routine but I realised this practice of Home visitation is a good minimum thing we could do to stay connected. At least once a year...
I used to be skeptical and really dislikes the idea of going to someone's house once a year and say the same thing every year. It's so superficial...But when I think it's boring and that it will be a routine if I let it be. But I could choose to change my perspectives and God will surprised me with many opportunities to connect and know someone deeper. So I changed my perspectives that it's up to me to let it be a routine and shallow gathering or I take initiatives to know people deeper and more and nevigate it to be interesting.
So here are few good encounters...
- Discuss with my younger brother about his CG, his recent new believer, his follow up
- Talk and find out that one of my cousin how economy affect his business and his dad health condition.
- Talk and know about my long distant relatives - her daughter's hobby and her recent travel to Perth with a group of friends. She rented 2 rooms of a local house and then they drive out of Perth.
- My another cousin is out station at Boston and her sister is going to Germany for a month of training. Talk and know more of her husband's job and possible travel trips...
- Had a interactive time with my niece and nephew. I played guitar and they tried to play drum... I found out that my nephew has a strong sense of timing and rhythm.. :) He told me that he wanted to learn piano and then drum! That's good...:)
So CNY can be super boring or surprising, it's really up to me! I have decided that I want to choose to make it interesting - so my yearly affair is will be rewarding and perhaps God will surprise me with people's story and that add in my life too!
