I took on a work assignment in January this year which lasts all the way till this October. One day of a week, I will be up by 4.45 in the morning and on another day at 5.45. I have to admit that it is not easy getting up so early. I thought what I am going through is tough until my recent encounter with someone at Johor Bahru (JB), Malaysia.
Recently, a couple friend of ours invited Monte (my husband) and I to JB. We gladly accepted the invitation. While in JB, our friend introduced us to another couple who happened to be our friend’s business contact. They have two lovely young children and the wife is now pregnant with their third child. Her health is not good in this early stage of her pregnancy. She works in Singapore. Every morning, she is up by three in the morning. She goes to work daily and comes home to make dinner for the family. I cannot imagine doing this day in and day out, not mentioning having to battle the often maddening traffic conditions while getting in and out of Malaysia and Singapore. Life is tough.
Going back to where I first started, it dawned on me that what I am going through pale in comparison to what this dear woman is going through. One thing both of us have in common though is that we can call onto the Lord for strength and help for each new day. Yes! It is His special grace.
