God's good! Today, my eldest sister was and had a blessing. It is such a rare opportunity that my eldest sister, 10 years older, and I were able to leave to school/work together. She was late, missed her usual Bus 53, so she had to take Bus 359 together to catch the train. We waited for around 10 minutes, and finally the bus arrived. Suddenly, I felt something's amiss. I reached out into my pocket, no, it is not there. I searched frantically into my HUGE black bag, nope, it is not there either. You could have guessed what was it I'm looking for... I shrieked,"Oh shucks, I forgot to bring my EZ-link card!" Momentarily, I thought that she would probably scream at me, show me a face blacker than black, or what else. BUT! To my delightful surprise, she did none of the mentioned, instead, she took out a dollar and said, "Use this first." I kept saying 'but's, but she just persuaded me to board the bus. Okay, fine... That's not it. I am quite a calculative person, for those who knows me will agree to it. As I sat there counting the amount of money (coins) I needed, thinking how dumb to forget such a thing, my eldest sister passed me HER EZ-link card. Aww.. so sweet right. She herself didn't have an extra card, and had to pay with coins for the first time in decades! So self-sacrificial! She loves me! And I love her! Moments after we parted, both of us started sms-ing each other. She was 'laughing' at me because of the super-duper long Bus 15 queue that I was lined in, and I was 'fighting' back by saying it's healthy and all that crap. HAHA! How childish right, especially at HER age. hahahaha. o yes, this is when her blessings came. She sms-ed me saying, "While buyin the card i found a dollar haha :)", followed by, "I found another ten cents when i redeem my card haha today's trip only forty cents"!! If only she knew, these are not called coincidences, but are truly God's blessings in anonimity. How great would that be? Not long ago, my elder sister (6 years older) called to ask if i wanted to watch 'indianna jones' with a friend/sister for free because she and her boyfriend weren't able to make it last minute. I guess it is because I got back to her alittle too late, so Xiaoen and Joey got the tickets to the movie. Seriously, I am not sad/angry/frustrated++, I didn't mind because it could be quite troublesome and tiring! however, my elder sister didn't get how i felt and thoughts. she felt really bad and all.. and she and her boyfriend says they owe me one - probably taking me for another movie/ eat ice cream... wow. how cool is cool! i mean, i do not even see a need for her to feel bad, because it weren't my tickets in the first place! The point is, I really really love this family alot. Thank God for placing me here! I do feel VERY blessed to have such wonderful caring loving sisters! Treasure your family, honor your parents, that's what pleases God :) |
