For the Boyz Upgraded

Well? the "For the boyz" fellowship is not actually upgraded or something. I just needed a different title for this new post. :)

But anyway, previously, just before the month of August was to end, the old boyz re-united with some older boyz (us of course) held another "For the boyz" fellowship.. Get it? held last August 30, 2009 at the former-place of manong Jerim. It was a busy night for me, since I had two appointments by that time, the For d' boyz fellowship and the meeting of my fellow batchmates from the Loakan Elementary School days. Well at least the meeting was done just exactly enough for me & ars go to the For d' boyz fellowship.

It's quite refreshing seeing some old faces I know at the golden age era :) The time where our big brothers in the Faith reigned as leaders and such. hehehe! There were just few of us that night. The elderly brothers if I might name them would be: manong Jerome, manong Jephun, manong Gary, manong Jake, and much more elder manong Julius (first time i think). The younger but old (i presume) would be me, joffer, charlie, rap, scheff & kirk (i wonder if I forgot someone). Aron had to go earlier that time, so he missed the food & the fellowship.

At the time of our arrival, they were already there talking and laughing, such as the good old days, and as always, guys talk. The food is almost ready, so bro. Jops, who initiated the fellowship, instantaneously asked me to start a program. Argh!!! as always an impromptu program, which perhaps I am really getting used to, on informal occasions only. But never to be on formal occasions. For some recent "For the boyz" fellowship, i don't recall sharing messages between the elders and the young, but only food fellowship & guys talk. So out of the blue after singing and such, I started to announce the sharing time thinggy. I believe there is some good if guys seriously talk. Cause when we do, we really do mean serious talk. But, I had to take the first step on sharing, a principle i learned throughout sharing things. If you want others to share things to you, you must start sharing as well. Just remembered, this principle is found in Luke 6:31 "Do to others as you would have them do to you." As it rotated going towards the elders they shared a great deal of experiences, especially life abroad and a few family-man & newly married-man advices. :)

They shared the longingness and them missing the fellowship we've had before, with the other elderly young people. They also shared the struggles one Christian would have to face especially when you are taken out of the life you are used to. And of course testified, that our spiritual life and seeking God should be our priority, for once we neglect this, all things just becomes non-sense or perhaps vain. As Solomon says "Vanity of vanities. All is vanity!"

It's a wonderful blessing to hear those words, and a heart-warming indeed. Hopefully, we all learned a great deal on what they shared. To be cherished and ingrave it on our hearts and perhaps soon, new generation will hear us also share messages and advices that will warm their heart as well. :)
