I did

a stranger came to my working place this afternoon. he told me he suffered from blood tumor, he showed me the lump on his neck, and his hand is a bit crooked...he said he has no job and no money for his family...he asked me whether i can donate him a few ringgit... i gave RM10...and i prayed to God for his condition. my heart did judged him, whether he was cheating me or not? whether he will bring home the money or not? i shouldn't ask whether he bring home the money or not, but i should ask whether i was giving out of a sincere heart? Yes God, I did.

Ah! I know that feel. Always at restaurant when beggars come asking for money I have an urge to give but shamefully sometimes i didn't give even though i want to give because i'm afraid of being laughed by my friends as stupid but the phrase is always, better cheated than hardening my heart just once.

Anyway i have added your blog to my blogroll.. do add me too.. hehe (=

脚印

一个人在回顾自己的一生时, 发觉在人生的旅途上有两组脚印… 属于他和上帝的, 但最令他困惑的是, 在他人生低潮和最失意的时候, 地上却只有一组脚印, 他不解地问上帝: “为什么在我最需要你时, 你却不在?!” 上帝用慈祥的声音回答说: “孩子, 当你看见一组脚印时, 那正是我背着你!” 今天我们走的是什么路? 蓝天白云, 花香遍野, 脚步轻盈? 或是双肩沉重, 前路崎岖, 风雨重至, 一步一艰辛, 希望有人扶你一把? 只要你愿意, 无论是怎样的旅程, 耶稣都会和你走过.

两个人

一个星期六下午, 他和她在同一间咖啡屋。两人点了爱喝的Irish Coffee,不加糖。 他在看书, 而她也看着同一本书。不时会听见他们咯咯大笑, 身边的人也禁不住偷笑起来了。 一直坐到傍晚时分, 他们才离去。 他向老板娘说声谢, 她向服务员微笑点头。  不知道过了多少个星期六, 他们又回到了同一间咖啡屋, 选了同一张桌子。 他红着双眼, 点了Irish Coffee; 她泪流满面, 熟悉她的服务生也为她点了Irish Coffee.。这一次, 他们坐到店快要打烊才回家, 两人擦身而过。 无数个星期六过去了, 他们脸上又带着笑容,向咖啡屋的老板娘和服务生打招呼! 这一次, 他们没有点Irish Coffee, 反而向老板娘要了有点儿酸又带些甜的柳橙汁。 终于, 他们的眼神有了交集, 两人微笑了。

有对失业的年轻夫妇, 在早市摆摊子, 靠微薄的收入维持一家五口的生活. 这对夫妻,丈夫喜欢养鸟,妻子喜欢种花. 即使失业, 鸟笼里依旧传出悦耳的鸟啼声, 阳台上的花儿依旧鲜艳夺目. 失业后的他们, 收入减少许多, 却仍快乐不已, 邻居们都感到讶异. 一天,记者去采访他们. 丈夫说: “我们虽然无法改变目前的境况, 但是我们可以改变自己的心态.” 妻子说: “我们没了工作, 可是不能没有快乐.” 是的, 活着就要快乐. 不管你失去了什么, 千万不要失去快乐! 我相信, 笑一笑, 世界会更美好! = D
