2/Oct/2005
In 2 days time, it will be my grandmom first death anniversery. But because it happens on a tuesday, the whole Chew family decide to have it today. So on this post, let me say something bout my grandmom. When my grandpa passed away many years ago, before i was born, my grandmom had to take care of 10 children all by herself. An impossible job to do but she did. One time she said to Pastor William Lee(Senior Pastor at that time for Glad Tidings Church), that she might not live to see to see her children get married, but truth to be known, she lived to see her grandchildren get married. One thing that strikes me of her, is that her willpower and her gentleness. She never gave up on her children. Always praying for them and hoping that they will be God-fearing people and she was always there for her children and grandchildren. What she has sowed on her children has reaped fruit.
My mom always tell me stories on how my grandmom discipline her children and told me stories on how she lived through the war. I can always recall the times when she came over to my house to stay-over. Now it is hard to call her for stay-overs. On the day before she passed away, she was reading a passage from the bible Pslams 23:"The Lord is my shepherd, i shall not be in want. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters". I know why my grandmom like this verse. Because in her life, what she ask from the Lord, the Lord gives her. She lead a very peaceful life. No sickness fall upon her only she took pills for her high blood pressure. Even at her death, she just left in her sleep, leaving a smile on her face. When i saw her lying on the bed motionless and the grin on her face, it tells me that she left this world peacefully and with no regrets.
The Lord is my shepherd, i shall not be in want. Simple words with a strong meaning. It means that to have the Lord as my protector as my shepherd, to watch over me, i am alright no harm will fall upon me. Who wouldn't to have a peaceful life? I am not saying that no troubles will come to our lives, there will come, but to lead a life cheerfully, not showing a down face or get worried for all sorts of things that which is not even there.Peaceout
