I was at a children's home today, with my colleagues as part of the team to promote Micah 2010 to the children.
I like what I saw. =)
The past week, I asked God to inspire me again. You know, at times you just need that little push again?
So yea, I was at this home. I am amazed and in awe of where they have arrived to, after 25 years of faithfully serving the needy children. Amazing and God blessed!
From what I experienced today, I learned that you don't need to be rich to be a blessing to another. God have given you enough. And with what you have, you use it....
There are 115 children in the home. These children comes from different backgrounds, orphans, single parents, parents who are drug users, etc, etc. To most of us, these children are the sad stories.
When my colleague told me about what we were going to do there, that is to share with the children, to remember the poor, and to make a promise to stand and pray for the poor. I thought she meant that teaching them now, so that when they grow up, they can do as shared. But NO! She challenged me to see the children doing it even now, at this tender age! To start helping the poorer people in need.
I was doubtful....
Know what?.... These children proved me wrong.
Being in the hall and doing the programme with them, I was just observing these children. I could sense God's presence in their lives. Despite their circumstances, He is real and they are of value and of great potentials.
I saw how they respected and cared for one another. It was awesome and heartwarming. One of the kid was on wheelchair, with stiffed limb. I saw how they included that kid into every activity, even the handprinting (which was a little messy), photoshoot, meals,....
Me, coming with my work experiences, I must say, I am truly humbled and inspired by what I saw. These kids helped and served with their heart. They are experts in handling the kid on wheelchair. I must say I am in awe of their kind generosity in caring and helping that kid. I am so glad that we took a step back and just observed.
It was a blessed day indeed. Before I end, we showed the children this video.
Heart wrenching? Yea... That was intentional. Now, let's put your feelings into something more constructive. Do something! ;)
