Thanks to the Chinese association for the annual mother's day tea
party. It’s not a fancy one. There are performances and sponsor companies’
booths. Organizer volunteers their money, time, energy and so on to make this
event happen. Every mom gets a small gift, cake and flower. There are 3-4 hundred
of moms.
There’s one thing, I can't help to notice, two moms right besides
me, one to my left, and the other to my right.
The mom on my left, she come alone wears a bright color dress, not
a fancy or formal one; it's appropriate and looks pretty on her. She’s with a
confident smile on her face all the time, shopping and browsing the sponsors’
booths constantly before the performance begins. You can tell she enjoy the
performances by taking pictures of the performances with her smart phone and
clapping hands after every single performance.
On the contrary, the mom on my right, she's talking to her friend
all the way through the tea party. She criticizes every single performance,
everything about the tea party, even about her relatives and other friends in
between the performances.
The mother's
day tea party, do you guys get the pictures of it. What do you see in this big
picture?
There are
hosts, the performances, the sponsors, more than 3 hundreds of moms, the cakes,
the carnations, and the moms sit right next to me, me and an invisible mirror in front of
me.
Remember the
mom next to me, left and right side that I’m talking about earlier. Now I see
myself, too, am complaining and judge others. I forgot forgiving and praying
for them, instead, I join the train of complaining. In the daily, I often like
that, forgot to enjoy and appreciate things that I already have the beauty of
the people around me. I complain and criticize others, even my love ones.
Shot to the lord
