Dear all, Thank you

Last week, during a memorial ceremony of AFC founder Rev. & Mrs. Stephen Knights, I was reminded of this song "Thank you" by Ray Boltz. This reminds me of those who help me and shape me during the past twenty years of my life. They were/are my examples, and their proverbs will forever be in my mind.

To those who are/were in Ottawa, thank you for teaching me while I was hurting you. Thank you for all Sunday school teachers, as that was when my Biblical foundation being laid. Thank you for all choir members, as you are those who give me a hand and lift me up while I was down due to mistakes.

To Rev. Nelson, thank you for being my turning point.

To Raymond, you know how much you mean to me... thank you...!

To all my friends in Toronto, thank you for walking with me when I am in needed.

To Rev. Barclay, thank you for being my teacher/mentor for my seminary years.

Of course, cannot appreciate more for what my parents had given me.

Without all your support, I will not be the Kelvin today.

THANK YOU...!

I dreamed I went to heaven
And you were there with me;
We walked upon the streets of gold
Beside the crystal sea.
We heard the angels singing
Then someone called your name.
We turned and saw a young man running
And he was smiling as he came.

And he said, "Friend you may not know me now."
And then he said, "But wait,
You used to teach my Sunday School
When I was only eight.
And every week you would say a prayer
Before the class would start.
And one day when you said that prayer,
I asked Jesus in my heart."

Thank you for giving to the Lord.
I am a life that was changed.
Thank you for giving to the Lord.
I am so glad you gave.

Then another man stood before you
And said, "Remember the time
A missionary came to your church
And his pictures made you cry.
You didn't have much money,
But you gave it anyway.
Jesus took the gift you gave
And that's why I'm here today."

Thank you for giving to the Lord.
I am a life that was changed.
Thank you for giving to the Lord.
I am so glad you gave.

One by one they came
Far as the eye could see.
Each life somehow touched
By your generosity.
Little things that you had done,
Sacrifices made,
Unnoticed on the earth
In heaven, now proclaimed.

And I know up in heaven
You're not supposed to cry
But I am almost sure
There were tears in your eyes.
As Jesus took your hand
And you stood before the Lord.
He said, "My child, look around you.
Great is your reward."

Thank you for giving to the Lord.
I am a life that was changed.
Thank you for giving to the Lord.
I am so glad you gave.

Thank you for giving to the Lord.
I am a life that was changed.
Thank you for giving to the Lord.
I am so glad you gave.
