Day 2 - 2nd december(babies and street kids)
Day 2 - 2nd december
In the morning-
"For i was hungry you gave me food
Just went to the orphanage, now i'm in the balcony writing my thoughts down. The orphanage was real cool, and i love that place alot. When i went in, i saw this toddler crying. Somehow when you have a baby brother around in the house, when he cries is either he is hungry, wants your attention or wants to sleep. I tried to feed him, it didnt work, tried to play with him and it didnt work out too.. so i laid him on my shoulders, and after a few minutes he just simply slept on my shoulder.
It make me very touched as i was only a mere stranger to him, yet to him he gave me all his love and trust. He trusted me to keep him in safe hands, he trusted me to put him to sleep. He made me felt love. Even though it was just a small simple action yet to me it just made me realised the full meaning of unconditional love. He was just a toddler, yet he was able to carry out something that was hard for me-unconditional love. To love everyone unconditionally for who they are and not what they are.
Just through him i realised the meaning of Matt 25:35-To love everyone as much as we love God..Who knows, it might turned out that the wretched person in our society is actually God alone..
Was discussing about my first night with my roommates with bernard.Apparently he seemed to be sleepy as he had a violin and a piano beside him the whole night, so i shared and said i got a flute and a picolo beside me too..
We went to the street kids home in the afternoon. Didnt really expect to have a kid so i went to join the balloon factory to manufacture balloons for the kids with gen and lynette. While making the balloons the kids all started coming to us, asking for all sorts of stuff ranging from doggies to swords. To them just a small little balloon can easily satisfy them, yet to us we will just throw it away..It makes me feel ashamed how much we do not treasure the little things we come across in our life..
We come from a better background then them in terms of having a good family, which provide us with all we need, yet this street kids comes from tough backgrounds. We often complain how life suck all this, but on seeing the kids, i feel really fortunate to have a wonderful family behind me. We are indeed luckier then them, therefore we should learn from them to treasure every single things in our life instead of complaining. If the kids can do it, why cant we?
Today i also realised the importance of hugs. I dont really like to give hugs, but now i guess i love it. When we hug someone, we give warm to each other. Warm=love . unlike a handshake, it is just a plastic action which doesnt show our love to others. haha.. (Must thank Anne-marie for giving me a shock of my life by hugging me in YISS this year, without her, i guess i will still be unknown to hugs..)
yupp..to be continued
In the morning-
this phrash keeps appearing for this mission..
"For i was hungry you gave me food
I was thirsty and you gave me drink
I was a stranger and you clothed me
Sick and you vistied me
In prison and you came to see me.."
