A Long Journey

Have been feeling very anxious about today, thoughts kept running through my mind .... doubts kept knocking at my brain.

These hands of mine has travelled a long journey .... sometimes reaching out in kindness and patience, offering a hand shake, pointing someone in the right direction. At other times these hands have struck out in anger causing pain and bringing sadness .... than there are times when these hand were busy at work - cooking, cleaning, creating and planting. Yes, these hands of mine has been in many places ..... lots of situations ...... challenges ...... unworthiness.

Finally in the morning hours of March 29, 2009 I surrender my misgivings in the hands of Jesus.

Met Fr. Adolf at the entrance of the church and I whispered to him that today would be my first Sunday as a Eucharistic Minister. Fr Adolf seemed excited for me and he encouraged to sign up on the attendance sheet.

During my sign up, Fr Adolf requested if I would like to dispense the "Body of Christ" and I answered "of course" ....

Back at the pews, I informed Ken that I had been "bumped up to first class". Ken was happy for me and pleasantly surprised.

This to me is one of the most important job that I have been assigned, to be of service at Mass distributing the communion or dispensing the "precious blood of Jesus Christ"

It was the most precious moment, I felt a little emotional, very honoured and so very blessed. My saviour Jesus Christ had chosen me to be a little helper in the distribution of His precious Body and Blood during Mass.

with fond memories ....

today, I woke up in the middle of the night and whispered your name .... my heart ached wanting to hear your voice, to see your face.

we miss you so much and we love you more today and we remember so much ....

you gave without measure, you loved unconditionally .....

we may not speak the words but our hearts still cry ....

we celebrate with joy, with honour and with love ...

to you my dearest Enyak ..... our love always and our gratitude. God bless!
