As part of our Church’s 47th anniversary service yesterday, Reverend Dr. Gordon Wong shared a most impactful message which touched me greatly. The hubs gave me a gentle nudge and said, ‘this is God’s word for you’. I walked away from the service deeply encouraged. <\/p>\n
Rev. Dr. Wong shared a simple story from Max Lucado’s children’s book ‘You are Special’<\/b>. If you decide to read the story below, please read it slowly. Don’t rush it. Take your time to savor the words. You can also click on this Youtube video<\/a> and listen to the narration as you read. It goes like this:<\/p>\n The Wemmicks<\/b> were small wooden people. Each of the wooden people was carved by a woodworker named Eli<\/b>. His workshop sat on a hill overlooking their village. Every Wemmick was different. Some had big noses, others had large eyes. Some were tall and others were short. Some wore hats, others wore coats. But all were made by the same carver and all lived in the village. And all day, every day, the Wemmicks did the same thing: They gave each other stickers.<\/b> Each Wemmick had a box of golden star stickers and a box of gray dot stickers. Up and down the streets all over the city, people could be seen sticking stars or dots on one another.<\/p>\n
