The                      Letter #1

Cheerful

Our First Six Months

thank you for helping cheerful become real

Six months ago, Cheerful quietly went public on 11 October 2025.​ I have been making thoughtful gifts and little things for over twenty years, never imagining I could one day create them meaningfully for others in this way, until an encouragement from my aunt. What began as a small, faith-anchored creative step has now reached homes, desks, milestones, and meaningful moments — carrying the presence, the light, and the Word of God — because people like you gave us a chance.​ Thank you for entrusting us with your gifting needs while we were still finding our footing. ​Every order has meant more than a transaction. It has been a vote of trust, a sign of support, and a reminder that when faithful seeds are sown into another person's life — even through little things, God can use each one powerfully. Cheerful becoming real has only been possible because of you.

Cheerful thanks you for helping us become real

what we have learned

1

People actually remember

their loved ones

Many people genuinely care for their loved ones and friends. Yet the pace of life often reduces that care to a quick message or convenient gesture. When thoughtful gifts are accessible and affordable, people welcome the chance to express their love more tangibly.

2

A thoughtful gift often

goes further than its price

We've seen many times how a simple gift can bring peace, lift a weary heart, restore hope, or remind someone they are remembered. Meaningful giving is always possible, whatever your budget may be.

3

Every gift

carries a heart behind it

Giving is more than a transaction. When someone chooses a gift for another, they are often trying to carry care, honour, love, gratitude, joy, and sometimes apology. That unseen heart should be honoured and never taken lightly, right from the first thought behind the gift-making.

4

Not everything meaningful-looking

is meaningful

Many things can carry the right language and look polished, inspiring, and convincing at first glance. But what truly nourishes faith and forms a life must be shaped through lived faith, with depth and truth from the inside out.

5

God's way is often different

— and better

Life does not always unfold according to our plans. Cheerful's journey has been marked by changed circumstances, unexpected doors, real challenges, and still, quiet provisions — reminding us that God remains faithful and good, and that He still hears and answers prayers.

new from the cheerful house

When an angpaw-inspired gift idea struck me, it was already January, and I honestly felt a little rushed to get this new gift produced. I turned to ChatGPT, gave it some powerful prompts, and quickly received a great list of 12 monthly anchors. It seemed ready to be dropped straight into my design template and sent for production. Well, that's what I thought. I was excited and impressed by how quickly it all came together. But thanks to my inner man, I later felt moved to review it deeply before sending it to our production factory — and I am still so glad I did. Because at first glance, it sounded right. Faith-filled. Very Christian. In some ways, even smarter than I might have articulated certain points myself. But by the second and third round of review, it began to dawn on me that while it carried a badge of faith on the outside, something inside was missing. The more I discerned, the more I saw that it was simply a collection of Christian-sounding points packaged together. There was no clear spiritual formation journey from Month 1 to Month 12. And I felt deeply convicted. That was not what I aspired to create when I had the idea. Just because I was not quite well during that season of life, and not at my best, did not mean I should allow convenience and tools to take over an important accountability of Scripture-inspired gift-making that I ought to steward worthily. So I scrapped every draft and started again from scratch. I am not against using tools for better efficiency. But no amount of tools or gathered data can give birth to something only a truly lived faith can bear fruit to. What you see now in our Anchor Cards Pack is a reverently discerned and carefully thought-through 12-month journey — one designed for someone to encounter year after year, bearing real spiritual fruit through everyday life. What humbled me most was what happened after the cards were produced. I thought, sure, I authored them and I knew it was a meaningful work that can bless others, yet I did not expect it would minister back to me personally. Then as certain things unfolded throughout February, one day my eyes were opened to realise it was all about Month 1's anchor — repeated through different circumstances to speak life into me again and again, so that what I had authored from a lived faith was now being lived again, taking me through a new level of faith. How great is the grace of our God. Then March came, and He did the same with Month 2's anchor. I was so greatly ministered to that I finally got myself a pack of the Anchor Cards, and today the first card sits behind my phone case, still ministering to me through Month 2 and Month 3's anchors. I cannot recommend it enough to anyone hungry to encounter God in day-to-day life. If someone comes to mind as you read this — whether it is for an upcoming birthday, a difficult season, or simply for no special reason at all — I encourage you not to ignore that nudge in your heart. I deliberately priced it affordably, so that many people can bless many more.

This 8-week Family Discipleship Journey, anchored on "In the Beginning" (Genesis 1:1), was thoughtfully created to help families encounter one truth together: That no child and no adult is an accident, a mistake, forgotten, or unwanted. Long before we were formed, there is an Almighty God who knew us, loved us, and gave us identity through Christ. He is a God rich in mercy and grace, yet loving enough to discipline and guide us well. He is the One from whom every good thing flows, and the One in whom we were always meant to find rest. Many adults read Scripture and receive from sermons. Our children hear Bible stories elsewhere. Yet most families have rarely encountered God through a shared journey of faith together — especially in building a deep assurance of God's love and identity at home. Over time, families may attend Bible studies, prayer meetings, or cell groups through the church, yet still feel unsure how to worship, pray, and grow in faith together as a family at home, simply because it has not been nurtured. This 13th June (Saturday), Cheerful is hosting a Family Encounter Morning at The Ark Reading Room, Paragon Bintulu. It is an invitation for families to experience what it can look like to know God, worship Him, and grow together as a family right from home. Admission is free (RSVP required), light refreshments will be provided, and the session is designed especially for families with young children aged around five and above. If your family is in town, or you know another family who may be blessed by this experience, we would love to welcome you. Come and see. Come and taste what it can look like when a family encounters God together.
