This is Alan.. the "glum-ouroush"birthday boy!

The Royal. our place of makan makan.. 7pm our destined timing...
food was fantastic... atmosphere could not be better..but best was the people who were present.15 saints were present to celebrate Gods goodness on our dear brother..and as AL has testified in his blog ,

"I'd like to say thanks to those who came to celebrate this special ocassion with me."

i can't help but totally agree that it is the Christian warmth that makes everything,YES EVERYTHING, just so special..

For although we like other party people did our own singing of birthday song and well-wishes, i believe that its the gratitude that we all have in our hearts for this dear friend of ours. I may not be the best person to testify of this, but i'm sure many at the dinner tonight would and will testify of how God has moulded Alan to the person He is today. And better still, we are sure and convicted that "He who has started a good work in Alan, will continue to do so till Jesus returns"

Thus to my dear bro Alan, Jon just wants to say this to you..

May you continue to strive and do your Best for God..

May you when you meet our Dear Lord be able to say to Him,

"I have press on toward the goal of the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus" (Phil 3:14)

"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course (race), I have kept the faith. Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord the righteous Judge will award to me on that day; and not only to me, but also to all who have loved His appearing." (2 Tim 4:6)

And to you my brother, i continue to say this..

that i am proud that i am able to run this race together with you,

I am glad that we will be able to sharpen/encourage/pray for each other,

till we meet our Dear Lord face to face!
