I saw this photo while browsing Pinterest. Of course there is where people go when they would like to see mouth watering diy's, outfit style, home decor and furnishing and anything in between.

Okay, so I saw the couple when I was running errands. We did a little hi and hello and what's your number cause I am running late for a meeting. I sent them a message as soon as I boarded the public vehicle (I doesn't do it usually - the texting on PUV). I thought what made them lose weight was the old age factor, but I learned that their only child was battling cancer for three years now. That is exactly the number of years (almost) since I moved.
I really don't know what to feel, but if there's one thing I am thankful is that they are keeping their high hopes and strong faith. Really, that couple earned my respect then and I awe them more now.
Honestly, I felt shame. Comparing what they're going through, mine was just a piece of cake, but I almost let my world go tumbling down.
Please include them in your prayers, that God's plan for their lives would be administered perfectly no matter how hard it maybe.
All things happen for a reason, like bumping into them. Perhaps the Heavens is telling you that in your comfort, you are capable of sharing something comforting with them in this times of distress. You have the moral soundness and emotional strength to lavish them with moral support and encouragement. Indeed, life is like a cupcake, and usually it's meant to be shared.
ReplyDeleteWow, you always share wonderful and great words to me. I really appreciate your heartfelt comment. I will do my best to lavish them with the emotional help I am capable of giving.
Deletetwin sis, i miss you. I know how devastating it feels if a family member is really sick.I will pray for them. :) gees.. I miss blogging.. :)
ReplyDeleteTwin sis, I miss you like eternity. Miss it? Come back when you feel like to. I really miss you. I know how devastating it can be and we'll pray for them.
DeleteAhh.. this reminds me of the saying that goes something like.. life is just a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes hence one oughta do whatever good he can do.
ReplyDeleteyup, and that reminds me of another quote that says something like we should always do whatever kindness we can because life is just short and passing.
DeleteOne of the things that our Heavenly Father has personally revealed to me is that suffering really is relative. For what one will just brush off will almost destroy another, with it all being on account of what He wants to accomplish in and through them. So, while it is good to think well of how someone else is holding up, it is not necessarily bad to want to give ourselves a break (as long as we listen closely to what He has to say about it). After all, when we are beating up on ourselves too much, we are beating up on someone who was created to be one of His kids.
