A Sunday of joy and sadness

Missed service cause I went to the BBHQ for the Sharity Gift Box on Sunday. Can't believe it's my 1st time there after being in BB for almost 3 years!!

Was a bit lost cause it's my 1st time and Albert tell me "Just be there." so I don't really know wat to do.

The boys from Siling have to leave by 5 cause according to Albert, they reach home around 11plus on Saturday and the parents were not happy. Think same goes for the other companies cause many of the boys that were supposed to be out stationed were MIA, thus Mavis boys from Woodlands Sec had to take over them. And that's where I come into the picture.

In view of the timing (it's 10 and some of that still at BBHQ, their are suppose to be at point by 9am), I took a van from BBHQ to drive the boys to various locations (AMK Hub, Hougang Point, Thomson Plaza, Bukit Panjang Plaza and Clementi Central). All in all took me closed to 2 hrs by the time I reach back. And it started to rain, on and off the whole afternoon.

Quite a few of our Church members, led by Albert, came to support. Thou it was raining, non of them complained and I really thank God for their love.

But things did not end all in joy.

At the last location, one of the boys came to me and asked if he can leave from the last point (all the boys were supposed to report back to HQ 1st). Ist thing that came to my mind was that the boy wanted to leave early so I rejected him. And it's only until he told me that his mum told him that his father was "going anytime".

I was like kana a Stone Cold Stunner. I am like "Wat is this man", I mean the boy look so calm and I was thinking to myself "Then why were you here?" Thank God Albert's bus was abt to leave the location that I just arrived and took him back to HQ 1st.

Received the news in the evening when I was at a wedding dinner that his father passed away during, the boy didn't managed to reached home in time.

Pray for the boy that he will remind strong and he may continue to come for BB. May God watch over him and his family.
