Went to a church retreat cum teacher training last weekend at Rembia. Its mainly for Sunday school teachers and as the name suggests…supposed to be a time of reflection…having some private and personal with God..but since we so seldom see each other and share our thoughts on teaching…it soon became more like a socializing and sharing forum…haha..but anyhow..it was a good experience as the teachers ourselves are of a great mix of people..the youngest being 17 years old while the eldest maybe in his 50s..the site was very nice considering we just have to pay rm10 for 2 days 1 night…and all meals were included…and the food is super nice..the best ever in a camp! And I have joined at least 20 camps before..we were fortunate to have Fr Paul with us…who is a quite open-minded and bright young priest with sporting character and good sense of humour. I had learnt quite a bit and it was overall a good day out A summary of what I learnt:
Lies: When too often we lie with good intentions…sooner or later it will be abused.
Temper: It’s human nature but minimize on committing sins with it
Relationships (Any kind): To persevere, we have to sacrifice time & effort, even though it is a one-way traffic
All things: To be moderate, contented, to give freely, not to be too judgmental
Good or Bad: Depends on intention
Challenges: The cross is tailor made for each one of us, if its for us..it will somehow be bearable
Most powerful instrument: Prayers and bible
But someone who does not know, and then does something wrong, will be punished only lightly. When someone has been given much, much will be required in return; and when someone has been entrusted with much, even more will be required. (Luke 12:48)--that includes money, talents, positions, powers, health etc...
