Which of you shall have a friend, and go to him at midnight and say to him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves; for a friend of mine has come to me on his journey, and I have nothing to set before him’;Luke 11:11-12 NKJV
If a son asks for bread from any father among you, will he give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent instead of a fish? Or if he asks for an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?Wednesday 27/2/2019:
I had been praying for a way to call an electrician to repair a faulty backyard light, both yesterday on the long train journey home as well as this morning while driving home after my morning walk at the Rakan Muda Sports Complex.
Then just after I arrived for breakfast at Golden Castle, an acquaintance called Yip, one of the three "Great Wall Band" brothers who performed at my daughter's wedding dinner four years ago, came over to my table to say hello.
I was surprised by that gesture because the brothers usually appear rather quiet and somewhat taciturn at other times.
For a while I wondered whether Yip needed a favour from me, but he didn't. We just exchanged pleasantries, asked about each other, what we're doing etc
Then it occurred to me that he might know an electrician who can come to my house to fix the broken light.
So I asked him if he knew any electrician in town because the one I know is always busy and it's hard for me to get him.
He managed to get a phone number for me from another friend of his
Just now I called the electrician at lunch after visiting my mother in Ipoh, and he agreed to come over in a day or two.
He told me he is busy today, took down my address and said he'll call me back when he's free. I told him that I'm not in a hurry, that he can calk me back tomorrow.
Hopefully he can get it done soon.
Update, Thursday morning 28/2, the electrician, who introduced himself as Ah Seong, called and subsequently came over to replace the broken light.
The Lord provides again. Thanks be to God through Our Lord Yesu the Anointed One.
