10 July 2011 (Church Service)

After they went to the place of elderly, they told me that the elderly feel so happy and feel the sense of belonging. They told me that they are sad because people seem to always pity them and view them as a very fragile creature. I'm happy because I could at least make them feel better and that the funding will be used to buy new desks, plants and other decorations for the elderly house. Today, we only have discussion time to decide our next project. We also did some bible study and discuss about the book of Mark. I spend 2 hours with them. From this meeting, I realize how lessons from Bible study should be applied to our lives so that it could benefit us and others too. I also realize that the elderly do not want to be treated as a 'weak' creature. On the other hand, they want to be treated as equal as other normal people. This is the global issue and I'm thinking how my action actually contributes to the life of other people ethically.
