Tong Cheng - afterthought

So many memorable things happened during the brief 10 days there -- I don't even know where to begin. And all the friendship sprouted there was so special -- words simply can't capture how I feel. I miss my students!

Our theme song for the English camp is the "True Meaning of Love" (1 Cor 13:4-8) (English or Chinese). I myself learned a great deal about the power of Love. We didn't (or couldn't) preach it with our lips much, but we did plenty with our action. As one student wrote, "Don't underestimate the power of love."

This morning, I remembered these lovely faces and prayed for them. The song "Pass It On" by Kurt Kaiser occurred to me. The lyric expresses exactly my experience with them and my wish for them.

It only takes a spark to get a fire going,
And soon all those around can warm up in its glowing;
That's how it is with God's Love,
Once you've experienced it,
Your spread the love to everyone
You want to pass it on.
...

I wish for you my friend
This happiness that I've found;
You can depend on Him
It matters not where you're bound,
I'll shout it from the mountain top!
I want the world to know
The Lord of love has come to me
I want to pass it on.
