Was watching a mini-drama serial just now and the 'moral of the story' striked a chord in me -
that it is sheer bliss to be able to dine with your family & loved ones, such that even a simple bowl of plain white rice can taste oh so homely and delicious.
in this materialistic world where everyone competes for more luxury items and food, we have soon forgotten the simplicity of our needs. was at church yesterday when my pastor told of the greatness of his mum's love. and i was reminded of how loving and forgiving my mum was - the time when i was in sec school and i was so worried that i'll flung my higher chinese (and i thought i'll be retained for a year), that i called my mum and instead of scolding me, she reassures me that everything will be fine, and all i need is to try harder next year. her love brought tears to my eyes. although i was just being paranoid and i did actually pass my higher chinese, yet this incident did etch deeply in my memory, reminding me of my mum's love.
bought a book - dying and rising with Christ - to prepare myself for Lent. hope i can meditate and pray more the next 40 days and be more Christ-like.
i have found it more and more unbearable at work these days - having to put up with some obnoxious fella whose every word is "this is your kpi...that is your kpi". whoa, big deal. okay okay, end of my tantrums. Back to my struggling meditations - love. forgive. love. forgive :)
