011106 wed
had eyebags n bad skin le. havent been slping early for quite some time *yawnz* cant believe my sch hols alredi half gone =s havent even start enjoying it. urh, n im like having to plan for next term. yay! at least now i noe wat im in for. heh heh. went spca to volunteer last fri. hehe, not bad. got to see the doggies, cats & bunnies. omg, they're so cute!! didn think cats were so cute too. ooo, so dear, when r u buying me a dog? panda? or red panda? or a tiger? or lion? koala bear oso can =p kangaroos r lovely too *winks*
anyway, here's another story:
praying for rain.
a small village was plagued by drought n this had adversely affected their crop production. hence, a priest gathered all the farmers to hold a mass praying session in the church. along went a little girl. petite as she was, barely anyone noticed her. the priest went on stage n pointed to the girl, saying: "that young girl has made me very touched." he continued: "we have all come here to pray for rain, but only one amongst all of us has brought an umbrella." upon closer scrutiny by the crowd, there was a red umbrella next to the girl's seat. everyone went quiet. suddenly, the church was a beautiful scene of resounding applause and tears.
tt is a simple story n at 1st i didn understand the significance of it. after a while, i realised tt it could b linked to our faith. did the ppl in the story really believed tt god would give em rain? there are times tt we want something n work hard for. things tt we believe in. but do we really believe in it? would we b like most ppl, praying for rain but nv even think to get an umbrella? tada~ i shall end this post w/ a quote.
