Yoon's musical note

Time really flies faster in this year than any other year for me. The advent is here already! My precious advent cactus just has started blooming on last Saturday night. It is just amazing how the plant knows when it is time to bloom! As I read Rev. Bill's blog last year about the advent cactus, I also felt that God showed His faithfulness through this little plant to let us know about Him. By the way, I have kept Rev. Bill's advent cactus at my home now. Unfortunately, while we moved it got sick a little bit, so all the buds were fell off but it still is alive! The one which is blooming now given two years ago from one of handbell choir members at RHUMC. Thanks Terri! As I was amazed observing the cactus, I remembered how often I forget about the season. Even though physically I am there at the season and do so many things to fulfill the season at the church, I easily miss the real meaning of the season: waiting patiently with well prepared heart. I even often forget whom I do...

Lately, I have been enjoying very much a Disciple I group on Thursday morning at our church, Floris. I took the course when I was serving as a missionary candidate long time ago in Korea. So, I feel like that everything comes to me as new even though I read a bible daily. We have been studying the big people in the old tastement last week: Samuel, Saul, David, and Solomon. I have thought about various thoughts and point of views about those people while I was reading the chapters, especially, David. He was not abnormally bright or good looking I don't think. He was truly a human. As more I read, I could more understand how much he was a true human who was full of emotion. As we all know, David was a strong leader but a very sensitive man. well.. sadly the sensitivity led him to temptation. However, I think he was still David who had loved, feard, and known God so well. I was wondering how God loved David more than anybody else or how David feard God so deeply with true love and sin...
