Good gifts

 


It’s true that all good gifts come from God, and we should thank God for the material
blessings and earthly relationships we enjoy. (James 1:17) But true and lasting joy comes
from those gifts that are eternal and will never be taken away. Our greatest blessing is God
Himself. We rejoice in Him: who He is and what He has done.

So even though bad things might happen, like my family taken away from me due to illness or accident, I lose my ability to teach or work or my children grows wayward or rebellious, yet I will rejoice in the Lord because my salvation in secured in Jesus Christ.

Day 8

 Life is a dream, realise it ~ Mother Teresa This quote from Mother Teresa stood out to me today. Indeed, how we choose to live our life will determine the happiness we get out of it.

I leave you with this quote from Rick Warren, At most you will live a hundred years on earth, but you will spend forever in eternity.

Day 5

Flipped Learning?  Today's post is a reflection of what I would like to share with teachers not just from my school but from all over Singapore about how we can better prepare ourselves for a hybrid learning environment where teachers and students will be placed on LOA / QO now and then. Hi everyone! I'm recording this video live in my quarantine room as I've been put on QO due to a confirmed case in my school. And so in today's video I would like to share my reflection during the time here. The reason why the title of this video is Flipped Learning is because I believe that the concept of flipped learning has an even more significant meaning now than ever before. Because, as we live with COVID-19 as an endemic, it will mean that students and teachers find themselves forced away from the classroom anytime and without any prior warnings. So how do we ensure that learning continues no matter the situation we find ourselves in? I believe that the answer is in Flipped Learn...

Know God and Obey Him

 How long will God let this go on? This is the cry of Habakkuk when he saw that "the law is paralyzed, and justice never goes forth. For the wicked surround the righteous; so justice goes forth perverted.". Today's world is very much similar to the times in which Habakkuk was living in. People in many parts of the world are living in fear because law is paralyzed and the wicked surround the righteous. Even in "civilized" world, the wicked surround the righteous, often hiding in the shadows of the internet and social media. How should we respond then? David reminds us in Psalm 37:1-7 on how we should respond in these moments of fear and frustration. Fret not yourself because of evildoers;  be not envious of wrongdoers! For they will soon fade like the grass and wither like the green herb. Trust in the Lord, and do good; dwell in the land and befriend faithfulness. Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the...
