the feathered tribe that is family :)

last night was special.....a lovely cell group evening of fun, food & love :) hannah's farewell took on the 'native american'... complete with headbands, feathers, weapons, facepaint and unpronouncable tribal names! talk about 'getting into the act'! :) what never ceases to amaze me is how much of themselves people give into doing what they can best.....organising, cooking,serving, cleaning up......n having loads of fun while at it.

like a friend said..(hoping jerry doesnt mind me quoting him) "Ws thinking & conversing with God y’day abt cel. And I realized that it’s really awesome when people know their abilities, limitations and respond with whatever they can & submit to each other in humility. What’s nice abt the cell is that people take initiative/ownership & show commitment towards seeing it to completion. There’s no hounding. Everybody does what he/she has committed to & job gets done. That’s awesome. It’s marvelous. Paul said in 1Cor 12:21 The eye cannot say to the hand, "I don't need you!" And the head cannot say to the feet, "I don't need you!" Do you realize that it’s the coming together & not the individual stuff that makes the event awesome? I think everybody deserves a pat on the back, not for a job well done, but for showing initiative, commitment, humility, preserving unity in the spirit & spreading love & happiness.
there you go. key words being 'coming together' . family. the body of Christ.

we gifted hannah a scrapbook....memories put together...pictures, quotes, notes of encouragement...Quoting 'Big Chief' (the largest feather there:) Bert Cherian... "there's history here in these pages'. there sure is.
