Old GrandMother

Today i was visiting a caregroup in Serangoon. Was walking towards the central when i saw a old grandmother carrying many bags of stuff in her hands. She was struggling to walk never mind carry all the heavy stuff on her hands.

I wanted to walk away cox i was sort of a in a hurry. But i felt the Holy Spirit prompt me the verse,

42For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.' 44"They also will answer, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?'
45"He will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.'

~ Matthew 25:44-46 ~

So yeah.. went to help her but that was not the main thing.

As i was walking with her, observed that the bags contained alot of food. So i asked her if it was dinner. She said yes and started sharing about her children. Her daughter is an engineer and her son a sign on army regular. They both stay with her and she was carrying the food home for them.

I was very puzzled how come her children would let such an old lady who have trouble walking to even go down to buy food for them. Who would have the heart to do so. Oh well, maybe i don't understand the whole situation.

My big sis is married already and is not living with us anymore. My er jie prob getting married soon. Soon, i'll be the only one with my parents. What if my mom was to be the one struggling up the stairs one day and i'm somewhere in another part of the world.

It hit me again that this is again going to be one big hurdle i need to cross if i am to really go.

I was talking to a sheep today about releasing him for another ministry. It happened so fast ehh.. But as i left that meeting, it sank in that i would really miss him if he were to go. hahaa.. Enjoyed his presence alot. all the supper and all the laughters and sleep over. He has became such a pillar in my life that well...

But i guess if we need to go to push fwd the kingdom more, we'll just have to do it. yeah...

Regards,

Jie Hui
