It's amazing how time flies. It is already Friday.
Phew! Bali video is finally done! Burnt it out yesterday already.
Cool man! Haha. Thank You Gloria and DOm, in case I do forget to thank ya. Here it is for the record!
Anyway, went to see guitars yesterday. Got to know a guitar guy at Bras Basah better. Didn't get a chance to share with the army friend I went with, but I did ask him whether he wanted to come church. He said no.
Last night, had a really good chat with Aunty Veron. She told me about her childhood stories and how she came to know the Lord. It was simply amazing. I am amazed at her life. And how God has changed her and brought her so many blessings.
Well, as with all such conversations, one starts thinking about oneself. I was no exception.
As I took the train how, I started to think about my life. I asked myself, what have I done to deserve such a life?
What have I done to deserve a well-to-do family, while the kid on the street struggles to buy a bowl of noodles because his dad went to jail?
What have I done to deserve a car to drive, when people walk home becuase they don't have money to pay for bus?
Nothing. Absolutely nothing. It brought me new perspectives on material wealth.
MAterial gains really don't belong to me, they are just a gift from God. I don't deserve it, and God doesn't value it.
Suddenly, social status, money, assets all fade to a dimly casted shadow. A pale comparison.
Lord, I want to live my life better. Thank You for Your blessings. I won't start being altogether altruistic or philantrophic, but one thing I'll do - be grateful.
