The Old Folks' Home & The Admirer

Ok i'm in the St. Vincent De Paul group in Novena Church!
It may not be my parish church but i enjoy helping them out.
My father is a member so when he goes for St. Vincent De Paul I will follow him if my mother allows!
I only go with him if it is not an exam week!
We do alot of hard work but it is fun as the old folks we help are really friendly they will joke with you and the will smile!

I was kinda impressed to read Alexis’ blog. I remember when I was 13, all I ever did was thinking about I, me and myself. Apparently, visiting old folks’ home was NOT existed in my dictionary. In fact, it has never come across my mind back then.

‘I will follow him if my mother allows!’

And contrary to Alexis, I would only go to Church if my mother forced me!
At times, she even had to threaten me that if I wouldn’t go to Church together with the family, then I also couldn’t go anywhere else on Sundays.

Thus, I kinda admire Alexis’ spirit and enthusiasm to follow her father doing ministry in old folks’ home, out of her own will! That’s pretty amazing for me, if I compared with my old self back then! =)

Ganbatte ne, Alexis-chan! =)

-Just a short story about my background, if anyone interested to know-
I was a cradle Catholic (who was constantly being forced by my mother to go to Church on Sundays) while later on during my college time, I strayed away from Catholic Church. I felt that I found God in other ‘livelier’ church and simply thought that Catholic Church was extremely boring and dull for me, especially the Mass. It was another miraculous experience that one day I found myself back in Catholic Church again! Perhaps one fine day I'll share my re-conversion story if God permits. =)
