It was already afternoon when we were about to leave the cemetary. My family went there for some chinese belief thing while my sisters and I were just there out of obedience, besides there’s nothing wrong going there minus the ritual thing.
The cemetary isn’t just full of buried dead bodies but also poor children who ran after people begging for money. While waiting for the other car, two innocent looking kids knocked as to beg for money…to give it wouldn’t be wise.Then I saw my sister was rummaging her handbag and took out some sweets. Ah…That’s better.
And then an older girl approached the the other two, I assumed to ask what or perhaps how much they got, and walked away. My mom, in her generous mood, asked for one more sweet from my sister and called the other two and passed them the sweet. My heart melted when I saw the most sincere smile from them. She then called the older girl to give her the sweet but apparently big girls don’t like sweet anymore. Not me though =D
"Yay! Now I have two sweets to keep for myself. It’s always good to have extra", said ciyeng to herself pretending she was her. That script changed when another girl came to them and she immediately, with another big sincere smile, offered her the extra sweet.….
This time Luke 17:33 "Whoever tries to keep his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life will preserve it." knocks my head. =D
p.s Another version adds "for me and the gospel"
Easter is just around the corner, Jesus lose His life that He may save ours eternally. One life to trade with eternity. Which one do you have in mind? Oh by the way, I did mention ‘with a big sincere smile =D’
