hello dear people. :) i know i've been like, i dunnoe, not getting to be in church for tq or full worship these few saturdayes and sundayes, and i actually feel kinda weirdd. well since church is afterall so integrated into our lives already, in a good way, duhh. ;)
anywayes, guess everyone's going through midyears naoo rightt. (ok maybe except me, but dont worry, im getting 2 prelims. >.<) just wanna post this and for anyone who might surf to this blog during this period of examinations, it serves as a breatherrr~
Once there was this nice family with dad, mum and a lil boy. they were shopping and walking down the marketplace and shops, buying daily necessities, groceries, and yes, maybe a pretty dress or a trendy pair of jeans, if they chanced upon one. just then, they past by a lil petshop, and the boy was attracted to the adorable lively pets inside.
"Can i get a dogg, momma? pappa? puhh-leassse?" the boy pleaded.
the parents agreed, and soon the dog was brought home and had a jolly time with the initially-lonely boy.
time went past, and the dog grew, as the boy entered primary school, went through his first physical fitness test, got his first crush on a girl, sat for his PSLE. almost 10 years past, and he had not noticed it, but his parents had. the dog was growing old.
his parents felt that they should inform their boy. afterall, the dog was his best companion. and they did. the boy listened in silence, and said nothing. his parents were worried, but did not bring it up again, fearing that he might have been torn to know that his best friend was dying.
since then, everyday after he got home, he would sit beside the dog, just stroking it, gently without a word.
and then one evening, the dog closed its eyes and never woke up again. the boy gave a small goodbye pat, and did not speak about it.
-few days past-
"i've been wondering why dogs have a shorter life span than human beings. but now i know why."
"humans live, to learn how to live well, like love others, and being a good person."
"But animals already knew how to do that, and hence have no need to live for that long afterall."
as taken from an article from chinese magazine, "readers".
as we study so hard, or as days start flying past and we lose the meaning of life, remember God's purpose in our lives.
remember to wish your momma happy mother's daye alrightt! :D
see you ppl on saturdayee. x)
