life... how are you treating it?

Today can be considered a pretty mellow day... I first went to visit a Christian brother's father's wake in the afternoon. What was good was the opportunity to catch up with him but of cos it I feel for my brother's loss. As I prayed for him and his mum, I prayed for 2 main things. One is that the experience may be one where the mum may draw comfort from God and use this as an opportunity to comfort others who may be in the same predicament as her. Second was for the family to rejoice in the fact that their father is in a better place with God, enjoying the relationship He first made us for. These are prayers that I want to make for myself if I should lose a Christian family member/brother/sister in the future.

I then went to visit my grandma in hospital in the evening. When I see her lying on the bed, struggling to grasp her next breath, I can see the sense of lost-ness and helplessness in her eyes and it's heart wrenching. I have the good news but how do I say it? Haiz... I did contemplate praying with and for her there and then. But my own command of Chinese is so poor that I dun even know how to pray for my grandma! And this is one of those moments where having a bridge to life booklet or a gospel tool isn't going to help much. How then can I share relevantly to her? I will have to ask God for courage, wisdom and opportunity to share and pray with her from my own mouth...
