yesterday was going to be a normal soccer day for me. however, things weren't the same. on the way to mcdonald's for some rest, my friends and i met 3 persons. a boy, a girl and an aunty. the boy was standing at a distance away from the 2 women. he was complaining about the noodles that he has to eat over and over again whenever he comes back from school or work. the 2 women stood there motionless, not knowing what to do. however, even as an outsider(not involved in this situation), i feel for the 2 women and thought that they must be really sad to hear such harsh comments from the boy. later on, the boy was walking around the area by himself, looking really troubled as he walked around without having a destination in mind. after that, i met the 3 persons again in the hawker centre. they were together again and they might have patched things up.

to others what had happened may not have such a great impact on them but to me, it's like watching my own life from a third person's view. i, too, like the boy, shouts at my mum for preparing the same food everytime i go home, especially if it was a long day in school and tiredness set in. when i looked at the 2 women, i wondered whether my mum and sis were feeling the same way as they were. and even when i saw what happened, i could not help but think of how foolish i was to be so bothered by what i eat. when i looked at the boy, what he did was definitely not right and if i am like him, i really have to change my ways. i, too, walked away after shouting at my mum, just like the boy who walked around aimlessly after the quarrel. indeed, i really have to change my attitude towards my mum and my sis if i want to have a good relationship with them.

God really showed me how foolish i was to shout at my mum.

i think its important to invite people to church. for them to even get a feel of what its like, to get even the most minimum of exposure, will still be better than nothing. it takes time, time we must be willing to sacrifice.

"The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field."
matthew 9:37-38

as it is there are not enough workers. so then, the workers that are should work even harder to bring in the harvest.

today, let us reap the harvest. aim to bring at least one person for every rally. what use is a rally if people are not saved?
