I saw this on Xinying's blog - very meaningful. :)

I have a fussy kitten on my hands.
lol.
After feeding him with tuna and other delicacies (e.g. aloe vera, salmon, chicken) for two weeks or so, he's now fussing over his food and decides to abandon the dry biscuit form for normal kittens.
I guess that's why sometimes it's not good to indulge your pet. Probably works the same for human beings as well. Pamper too much and they get uncomfortable with discipline. Let them run loose and they think they know everything. Pride comes in. Self-centeredness comes in. And then they start to think they have the right to feel that way, forgetting how from the start it was never their right in the first place. That from the start they have been a stray, and it was only because of grace given that they can have what they have today.
Thankfulness ah. It's an important thing for all of us to have.
Even for cats:)

Was telling Justin today during the 5 min technical break for team coaches course that we stole their leader. haha. Justin's remark actually opened a perspective that I haven't really been considering much.
He very honestly and sincerely said something along the lines of "ya lor. can feel their absence greatly in the CG..."
Perhaps along the way, even as the people who're moving on to YP group learn to adjust to the new environment, this group of people may have forgotten that there are three other people are adjusting to this new environment too. That's it's not just us who are dealing with changes, it's not just us learning to be open to new ideas or new things coming our way, it's not just us who are vulnerable at this stage of transition as well.
And it's certainly not just us who're missing their original caregroup, or the friends they have in the ministry before this.
Everyone is adjusting. And everyone has people who miss them. Everyone has people whom they miss.
I think it's a small reminder to me (and hopefully to whoever reads this) that in times of transition when we tend to be more self-centered and tend to be more inward looking, waiting to see how people can meet our needs (sometimes having that inward misunderstanding that people should meet our needs), hopefully we will not forget that everyone is going through transition at this moment as well.
Let's take care of each other together.
