I juz came back from jurong west, where i attended the funeral of alvin's (Mi cell group member's) grandmother. It was held in the void decks and it was a christian funeral. It's been extremely long since i last attended a funeral and it's mi first time at a christian one too. His grandmother has been a christian for over 39 years and even though she was very sick, she nv fails to attend the church services. Such faith...

6 months ago, alvin's grandma was diagnosed wif brain tumour during a visit to the hospital because of some problems wif a health supplement. Medical tests showed tt she was suffering from brain tumour and tt it was spreading. Soon, she became so weak tt she cannot walk and had to be wheeled around. And yesterday she passed away peacefully...

Death is on us all and it is unescapable. I feel so fearful, not of death but of the fact tt mi family is still unsaved. For believers, death is juz like a door to another world, into a world without tears, pain or sin. It's a world of joy and love and to be reunited wif God, our Father. But for pre-believers, death is a door to hell, the place of eternal loneliness and suffering. I never ever want mi family and friends to be in tt place...

I guess the funeral is a wakeup call to mi from God. To tell mi that time is running out, and to tell mi grandparents about the gospel of Jesus Christ. I bet many of u are puzzled. How come i am so on fire and always sharing wif mi frens but not wif mi family and grandparents? I guess it's a little awkward and i always dunnoe how to go about sharing it but i haf no choice anymore. For the sake of their destiny, i got to have faith and juz do it.

For both pre-believers and believers, i hope tt u guys will treasure the pple around u esp ur family members. There's not much time left.
