Moments to Remember
• Day: Tuesday Morning
• Time: Does that matter ;)
• Location: Driving Honda City ( lol… Well Honda city that my driving class owns… me poor ya… just have an Indica ;) )
Jokes apart… So by now you get the plot… I hope…I know you guys are definitely not as dumb as me ;)
By road side I could see a poor man was trying to pour some kind of liquid on the leg of a street dog… the first thought that crossed my little mind was that this guy has lost it and not sure why is he bothering the dog… but as I took the car ahead I looked back and saw something that just humbled my heart within few seconds…
The dog was wounded… and the poor man was pouring oil on the dogs wound… that sight was so blissful that it just made me wonder… how many of us would take out time to feel the pain of that little dog and actually do what that man was doing…
And the most important point that crossed my mind was … that man himself had nothing much to offer… but with whatever he had he gave the little dog some relief and joy…
Sigh…
Reminded me of the story in the Bible… Here it goes
______________________________________
Book of Mark Chapter 12 Verse (41-44)
The Widow’s Offering
41 Jesus sat down opposite the place where the offerings were put and watched the crowd putting their money into the temple treasury. Many rich people threw in large amounts. 42 But a poor widow came and put in two very small copper coins, worth only a few cents.
43 Calling his disciples to him, Jesus said, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put more into the treasury than all the others. 44 They all gave out of their wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything—all she had to live on.”

So many gatekeepers God send in our lives everyday… and most of the time (at least in my case) have been strangers… little things they do just make me wonder… truly me, you and everyone around can just be touched with love… simple acts… simple words of care… makes our heart go humble…
The sight of the poor man helping the little dog just brought tears in my eyes… how much more would he do if he was provided with enough like us… though he had nothing, his heart had so much to offer… God must be loving that act more than anything…
And I can actually imagine my dear friend God up there… smiling … with tears in His eyes with the sight of the poor man… and he must have got more blessing than anyone else today…
Love you lord for these little pearls of wisdom you shower on me each day… Which adds on in my life what I call- “Moments to Remember”

Hi dear :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this thought and that too so beautifully, it truly is humbling when people give even when they have none. And it's even more humbling when God reminds us that He sees more than what we see.. He has a different point of view..
