Today was a fulfilling and eventful Sunday. My day started with attending church, where I had the privilege of leading the Sunday school session. I had nine children in my class, and our focus was on the story of King Solomon and his request for wisdom from God.
To make the lesson interactive, I handed each child a piece of paper and asked them to write down what they would wish for if God appeared in their dream and offered to grant them one wish. The responses were diverse and telling of each child's personality and desires. One child wished for a pet rabbit, another for a mansion, yet another for more freedom from parents, and one wished to be liked more than a classmate. There were also wishes for good school results and wealth, even from such young minds. This exercise led us into the story of King Solomon, who, when given a similar opportunity by God, chose wisdom. I explained how God was pleased with Solomon's choice, emphasizing the value of wisdom.
After the story, we moved on to a creative activity: making Father's Day cards. I played a tutorial video from YouTube, and the children followed along, crafting beautiful cards to be handed out next week.
In the afternoon, I participated in a Young Adult Ministry event, held in a function room at a condo. The event was filled with delicious food, such as fried rice, curry chicken, and prawns and we played various games starting with charades. I was in charge of teaching the game Splendor. Although I was initially rusty with the rules, I quickly got back into the groove. Despite not winning, it was great fun, and everyone seemed to enjoy learning and playing the game.
Later, I met up with a friend to visit another friend who has been facing some challenges. We spent time talking, offering support, and reconnecting. It felt good to be there for him and to strengthen our friendship through meaningful conversation.
Overall, it was a busy but rewarding day, filled with teaching, fellowship, and moments of genuine connection.
