All of Grace
Last year's theme for our church was "ALL OF GRACE. ALL OF GOD."
Yes, it was a year of God's wonderful grace, magnified particularly in my life and in the live of little Ezra Lim.
God graciously healed me of breast cancer, it is a MIRACLE that has given me a chance to live for my Lord and I'm very grateful for that.
For Ezra Lim, it is also by God's grace that he is still living today. Diagnosed with ALL(blood cancer), he had gone for the 3rd round of chemotherapy. It is tough for a 7-year-old boy, the side effects of vomiting after the treatment was too much for him to bear. He was angry with God initially, but now he thank God for His grace which saw him through and will see him through many more treatments to come.
The testimony of little Ezra was amazing. His mommy shared how they were able to reach out to many foreigners whose children, some as young as 2-year-old, are also having ALL and came to Singapore for treatment. Ezra made friends with the children and showed them around and telling them not to be scare of the hospital. And his mommy would talk to the parents, encourage, pray and share with them about God's grace.
Tong Hak(Ezra's mommy) testified how her life was changed from busy giving tuitions, sending Ezra to school and going on vacations during December holidays... to reaching out to people as far as from Vietnam! It is bitter sweet for her, seeing her son suffering is difficult, but being able to reach out to other souls with God's love is so wonderful.
Ezra came to the Watch Night Service on New Year's Eve, he is still the same active boy just like before, only that most of his hair has fallen off from the treatment and he needs to wear a mask to protect himself as his body resistance is low. You can spot him in this video clip, he appeared briefly at the 30th sec.
The musicians were practising for the worship and the song was "Power of Your Love", Daddy was playing the drum-machine, it's a machine because it is not the real drum, just some key pads that you hit with your fingers, haha! I was actually taking a video of Thaddea drinking water, I love that she likes to drink water, so not like her two sisters whom we need to pester them to drink more!
Ezra's daddy gave a song special with a group of brethens that night which I didn't get to record it down. But thank God that they presented the song again on Sunday.
Jonah, Ezra's only brother played the 二胡 which sounded so NICE! I was in the Chinese Orchestra when I was in Secondary School and I played the 二胡 too! So imagine how I melted listening to this song... even Thaddea who was sitting on my lap was so still, she was captivated by the 二胡! :)

‘Cos of Your grace, I offer my life
My Hokkien is less than a bucket of water, haha, but I really like how the lyrics of the song came with the english pronounciations for the hokkien words... pretty interesting!
Ahhhh... thank You GOD... for your GRACE!

And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.
