Tell me...what's on my face??

Thursday , 11 August 2005

Dear hubby just step out to go to work about noon...and came back, rang the doorbell because he forgot to take his car keys...and he left. In less than 10 minutes, he gave me a call on my handphone and asked me if something was wrong with his appearance. Apparently, I can't seem to think or recall if he looked different from any other days.

He asked me, " You noticed anything different?" I began to get a little bit worried. Was it my lipstick on his cheek? I do not normally put on lipstick at home but somehow I did this morning. Oh...oh.. was it my lipstick?

I recalled an amusing incident about a year back. My dear hubby went to work, walked everywhere with a clothes peg on his pants. He was unaware of it until a guard at the bank pointed it out to him. What actually happened was since some of his pants are so slippery I would peg them on the sides to hang them on the hangers, to prevent them from slipping off the hangers. Dear husband overlooked the peg and went to work with it dangling on...It was so funny!

He looked perfectly okay to me today and as concerned as I could be I asked him, what actually happened. What was wrong with his face or his appearance anyway. Then he related to me that as he was walking to his car in the basement he met two women who were sisters staying in the same block as us and casually greeted them, "Hi". Right away one of them asked him saying, " Are you a pastor? Which church? Calvary or Tabernacle of Glory?" It was so funny and of course he told them he wasn't and that he was merely a layman.

Praise God for the opportunity to inform them that we do have a cell group meeting in our home on Fridays and the opportunity to invite them which he did. He also found out that one of the sisters used to attend church about a decade ago.

My husband... a pastor? It got me laughing. But what an honour to be identified as a servant of God and truly let the light of God so shine through us to those around us. We are called to be a light to the world and shine we must...so that those who do not know Him may come to know Him through us. His commission to us is to make disciples of all man, baptising them in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Let us not lose sight of our calling and the purpose he put us on earth, to glorify Him and make His Name known, to share our hope, our strength and our faith which is rooted in the Lord Jesus Christ.
