Despite all the years, I have never once gone for makeup cellgroup. Many excuses come to mind, pointless, don't know anyone, inconvienient etc. But I thank God for giving me the honor and privelege to attend MingJing's Cell. Even though it was Thanksgiving makeup cellgroup, somehow, I don't feel I learn any lesser today then any other days. Gradually, I felt the holy spirit pointing me towards Mingjing

"Look, this is the man whose body is weary, but filled with the spirit"

Upon closer observation, I was kinda taken aback. He really look weary, looking way older then what his actual age is. But when he smile, I felt warmth of joy in his heart, that against it all, a heart of thanksgiving. Short simple message, personally I felt it was routine. But the true message for me at the end of the day was hidden in that face of his. Behind the smile on his face, behind that loud booming voice that keeps the cellgroup alive. It seems to say, "Even when the burden is heavy and the route is long, I shell lift all my good and bad days to you. Thanking you for all my days in the past, the present and the future."

Being myself, I didn't speak much, apart from offering him a lift. Even though he politely decline the offer, I guess he knew I really wanted to help him then. After exchanging smiles and bidding small goodbyes, I head off home, thanking God for the living example that portray his teachings.
