Ok...i'm rambling...

Today...random thoughts have been flashing through my head and i've been pondering how blessed i have been, and how much i have already.

In affluent Singapore, we talk alot about 'our rights', 'good service', and all this pseudo-civilised stuff...it just makes me remember the simpler times in Thailand and Cambodia, where people have had so little and did not talk about 'rights' or 'service', they just banded together in a community, and got down to caring and sharing...a family problem was a community problem and they treated everything with the same kind of respect. Instead of talking about it, they put their love into action and HELPED! Sometimes makes me wonder who the really civilised ones are...

yups...just truly makes me wonder, especially when people are trodden upon in the name of 'service'...hmmm...isn't true service an act of humility? do we actually have a right to judge someone else's act of service? Some of us give gifts, some of us give words of encouragement, others give a smile, some lend a hand, there are SOOoooOOO many kinds of service, why can't we be thankful even for the feeblest act of love? If a baby were to give a broken twig, wouldn't you still be greatly happy, grinning ear-to-ear and giving the dear infant the biggest hug and encouragement! Sometimes...that is what us 'civilised' people need too...to see everyone as a child and appreciate their gifts!

But i guess that it will never be understood if our lenses are unfairly tinted...Just like the woman who emptied perfume on Jesus' feet...Judas immediately put a monetary value on the perfume and proclaimed that it would have been better used to sell it and give the money to the poor. How poor in spirit and deluded in mind we are sometimes...

Do i see as Jesus does? or as Judas sees? *ouch!*

Just wanna be thankful for the people who blessed me today...God sends blessings daily! So yes...wanna thank you all!

Leslie for helping me out with the GCTC lock, Debbie Lamster for the nice choc before prayer, Wendy for the really fragrant apple ( i love smelling it so much that i can't bear to eat it!), Pastor Bernard for the ride to Azhar, and Jaime for the Ricola and the ride back home...Thanks for blessing me in the little ways. Each of those acts blessed me, i remember them still and they made my day! I appreciate it lots! and more importantly, i treasure you! Thank you for showing Christ to me this day.
