lessons from the bak kwa shop
:
for all those who didnt know i worked in bee cheng hiang for about 10 days and earned $400 this jan cos jc only starts tmr! (2 feb 09). just some verses that came to me when i was working there.
for Quality-Check (esp for Arvindh..)
[Just some background, quality-check (aka QC) is checking all the heavily marinated patties and cut out all the burnt parts. It is the most dreaded job cos it is the most boring.]
"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving." Col 3:23-24
when weighing or packing the bak kwa into the packeting
"You shall not steal." Exodus 20:15
(Hey its not easy leh, handling all these meat with an empty stomach...or not)
when disobeying Regina or Weewee (supervisors)
(like 15-min lunch or hearing mp3 or for not coming late for 1 hr so that I can go to church)
"Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established.... Therefore, it is neessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also because of conscience." Romans 13:1-5
when doing OT or doing QC or just seeing at the huge order (like 400+ pkts..)
"
Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe as you hold out the word of life - in order that I may boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor for nothing." Phil 2:14-15
I want to end off with this incident that didnt really impact me until I was on the bus home that day or a few days later. I was talking to this guy who just came out of army called Aloysius. He was the second batch that came in, so I was put in his "group" so to say cos got more experience so I can help him. I think it was his first day. There was this conversation that I had with him where I asked him if he was christian. Then he said no. Then just talking without thinking, I asked him how come he not christian cos his name "Aloysius" is like a christian name. Then he told me that he was actually a Catholic, but didnt like follow. WHAT IN THE WORLD?? That is a very dangerous thing to do, after it came upon me, to deny God like that.
