U Matters - 21 May 2015

by Greg Anderson on May 21, 2015

I was standing on Queens Road Central, looking and feeling like a drowned rat during a downpour. A young woman walked up to me and put her umbrella over my head. My first thought was that since Union gave me such wonderful early 60th surprise birthday party, the woman knew I was an old man and decided to be kind to the elderly. Whatever the reason, I was grateful!

I am so grateful that even in the pesky storms of life, we have a God whose umbrella over us is love (Song of Songs 2:2).

PS. Thank you for making Sunday one of the best days of my life. You are good at keeping secrets. The party took me completely by surprise.
