Preacher: Siew Mei Ng [John 4]
"Did you know that you carry an invisible bucket with you all the time? Yep. That's right, an invisible bucket. The bucket is full of water. When the bucket is full, you feel good about yourself and you feel happy and have good thoughts. But when your bucket is empty, you feel sad, mad and maybe lonely." Although Siew Mei intended this as a children's message, we thought it is so good, that we could all benefit from it. Now do listen to Siew Mei on the video below.
