Generosity As expected, today was a packed day. But it was great because I met Lynn at JW Cafeteria who gave me a pleasant surprise by saying that she will be treating me to the Hossan Leong show. You know what? She didn't really have to do that but out of her generosity she did it. I thank God for people like Lynn and I pray that more people like her will be around me and create a culture of generosity. Sometimes I get discouraged when I am generous to others financially but it isn't reciprocated over time. Being generous is often a sacrificial decision because you decide you want to be generous even if your cup is not "running over to overflow". It is a choice and that choice isn't a very popular one usually. I am too used to seeing the same old people being generous all the time. It is time to give back. You know what? It isn't that I'm rich because I really am not. I dislike it when people think I'm rich just because my dad's a dentist. That is just assumption on those people's part. Well Lynn what can I say......THANK YOU, and please allow me the chance to one day treat you to theatre or musical too. =) I know you will be reading my blog so thank you. Haha. I'm blessed! Being generous is not only in terms of finances....but keep in mind, we can't love without giving. Hence, if you love, you will show it with financial generosity. It is inevitable. Same principles that we learn in church about giving to God. But it isn't all about $$$ because we should also express our care and love for each other by being generous with our time, effort and energy. Sometimes, just a simple DIY card to encourage a friend is enough to show it. Afterall, it all boils down to the best and most direct way of telling people, "hey, I care for you and therefore I am spending on you". Just wanna end it with a song that sounded familiar. We sang the chorus of Hallelujahs in church service (I can't rmb when) with triple C band leading, if my memory does not fail me. So this video music is sung by Jeff Buckley, who made this song well known but isn't the original singer. School tomorrow and I'm super exhausted. Still on my computer, tsktsk!
