Another colleague, a kabayan, at APL Emirates is saying goodbye to us. She will be joining British Airways at their Dubai office.Personally, I am so happy for her. She has been offered a good compensation package, better than she is currently receiving. I know she deserved it.
On July 30, 2008 (yesterday) all the kabayans were having lunch together at our pantry's office. After which, Elena read the farewell card that everyone wrote some farewell notes for Sharon.
There was mixed emotions among the group in the reading of the notes as Elena mimicked the voices and some trademark habits of the person to which his or her note was read. Some of the girls shed tears, then laughed out to their lungs with the comical Elena.
What was most memorable for me on this day was not just the farewell lunch and the reading of farewell notes. Before we parted ways at end of office hours, I was able to share the Gospel of Jesus to Sharon. Praise God for another soul has received the grace of Salvation.
Still on tears, I prayed over Sharon and release blessings upon her and her family.
As we stepped out of the mini conference room of the office I embraced her saying goodbye and welcome to her new life in Christ. What a sweet goodbye not only to her officemates at APL, but to her old life whitout Christ as her Lord and Savior. For the Bible declares that once you accepted the Lord Jesus as your peronsal Lord and Savior, the old self is gone and a new one emerges.
