Who me? Who you?

Our cell group ice-breaker last night was a "Chicken Soup for The Soul" kind. We each had a piece of paper with our names written on it, and passed the papers around where we wrote or drew something that describes the person.

It was interesting that "bubbly" appeared on quite a few people's names. No wonder we have so much fun - we're walking champagne bottles!! Or Sparkling Ribenas!!!

"Dedicated" and "responsible" were other popular entries, along with "generous / giving" (even "feeds me").... then there were "warm", "sweet" "loving", "gentle" attributes. Yeah, we have a caring community right here. *smiles* Slightly weirder entries included "filial", and "perfectionist"...

I think after we passed the papers around, we all had this warm-all-over feeling, like someone just covered you in a cozy blanket. Some of us were a tad surprised at how we were described, like we weren't sure whether it was a good thing or bad; but as a whole, it was positive affirmation of who we were, a bit more insight on how people viewed us.

After everybody had read out their descriptions, there was this short discussion about death (!!!).... Someone mused: "Won't it be nice to have all this read out at my funeral???" and amidst the laughter that ensued, I think there was a tiny thought in our heads that whispered, "Yeah."

... We all have our imperfections, and painfully aware of our inadequacies at times. It is not very often that we are affirmed for we are, and remembered for the little and big things that have positively impacted other people. It's true what William Arthur Ward said, "Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it away."

Thank you, cafe@subang, for the gift of your friendship. **GROUP HUG!!!!**
