Reflection from Enga Funeral Service

Pu Lalengliana, age 40 H/O Lalhlimpuii went to be with his Lord and Savior on 2nd Dec, 2009 (2: 15pm).
A month ago, he woke up in the morning and could not see, i.e. became blind. We met him in his brother house at Samanyih, KL and asked any pain? but he said nothing. We prayed for him and hope that he might be healed.
The week before he passed away, my wife and I visited him to Chowkit General Hospital. He was quite ok, he could talk and eat well. But the doctors said that he has brain cancer. The doctors hoped that they might able to remove the cancer cells in the brain. Then he was operated and eventually passed away.
This make me think of the temporariness of human life, as the Peter says,
“All people are like grass,
and all their glory is like the flowers of the
field;
the grass withers and the flowers fall,
but the word of the Lord endures
forever.”

Indeed life is so short, and it is an opportunity for us to prepare for next life.
And continue to pray for life lovely wife and five children left behind.

Sweet December

This is Myanmar Christians’ tradition to celebrate Sweet December. It is a celebration of welcoming Christmas at the first day/week of December. Friends in Malaysia are sending SMSs to each other and greets one another.
It is a joy for us to celebrate Sweet December on first December at Vinson and Sophia’s place at Sri Sampai in Kuala Lumpur. Parts of the expenses are supported by church members in Hope EFC, Wangsa Maju. We appreciated such supports. May God bring joy and peace to you all through this coming Christmas and New Year.
We cooked Mohhinkha (Myanmar Favorite food) and enjoyed with that. At 12: 15am we had Mid-night service. I explained about Jesus and Christmas using power point. Half of our friends are non-Christians. The following day is Makan day (feasting day with Mohhinkha), friends keep coming one group after another until mid night again.
We enjoyed with friends, and we are glad to make some new friends.
We pray that all our friends will find hope, peace and joy in this coming Christmas and New Year.
