Yesterday was the last day of VBS. I had mixed feelings, I felt sad and at the same time; happy. Sad cause that I can’t see the kids anymore, happy cause I can get away from them haha. We had the most enjoyable VBS this year, it was just great, and the kids were just so adorable. Well, those in my group hehe.
I was really really touched by one little kid, he gave me a gift. A really cool notebook from Australia with different Bible verses on each page! I don’t plan to use it, just keep it haha. His name is Isaac and he’s just so cute.
What’s funny is that we only communicated for like 5 minutes over lunch on the 2nd day of VBS! Just a short chat with him like, “How’s the food?” and then we went on talking about him going for holidays and THAT WAS IT! And he wrote on the gift wrapper these words – Dear Zelwyn, Thank you for caring. Jesus’ Love, Isaac - He spelt my name wrongly but it was ok. What touched me was the words “thank you for CARING”. I didn’t know that a 5minutes talk was counted as caring... I was really really touched by this kid.
We can learn something from this you know? Isaac’s happiness over a little chat shows that it doesn’t take a string of million words to built a relationship with someone. I took 5minutes and maybe less and by that he thanked me for CARING... Look at the people around you, there are people who are lonely, go talk to them, even something short will do. These lonely people just need someone to notice that they’re there, and they will appreciate your time. What made me spoke to Isaac was because he was having his lunch and I kind of feel that he was lonely so I went and talk to him, and he appreciated me. I’m really touched. Go ahead now and mix with the lonely people you see around you, they need you =)
Proverbs 21:13
If a man shuts his ears to the cry of the poor, he too will cry out and not be answered.
