Building Fund

I am amazed by the powerful force behind the building fund. My family has experienced breakthroughs after breakthroughs. I ask God to let my parents live their life in good health, in prosperity, in happiness, and to the fullest. My mum has found exponential increase in her income due to the booming economy and stock market. In almost every week, she tells me that she's earning big money. My eldest sister-in-law used to be barren. Countless disappointments. My parents almost think that they are not going to expect any grandchild from them. My eldest brother decided that they will adopt a child and went through the procedure of adoption Just when we are expecting a nephew, my sister-in-law gets pregnant with a baby. That means my parents are now expecting two grandchilds at the same time! Miraculous. My second brother used to avoid my parents because he thought that they are money-minded and despised him because he was poor (note the past tense). He didn't even bother to call upon them during any special days like their birthdays, Father's Day or Mother's Day. He didn't allow my niece to stick with them, fearing that they will 'preach money' to her and influence her in a bad way. He didn't like to talk to my other brothers because he bore grudges on the perception that my parents are bias towards them. He used to be so busy with his work (also a tuition teacher) that he neglected his family. Now he calls my parents often (my mother in particular to give her tips on potential stocks), gave fat red packets to them on their birthdays, offers to treat us for dinner and even gave me a birthday present for the first time in a decade. All thanks to his new girlfriend who takes care of all these things for him. He finds an alternative income as an investor of stocks, and is rumoured to earn in the stock market as much as he did as a tuition teacher. That is like... a lot lol. My third brother hit a dead end in his career two years ago.He then found a business opportunity as a garang guni. Do you believe that a garang guni can earn more than S$20,000 a month? Nothing's impossible with God! As for me, I am starting a new business. Although it is not as profitable as my brothers', it is a growing business. I believe that God will not do anything less for me since I am the one who prayed and gave the building fund. *evil laughter*
