In the dark

Sometimes I go to restroom, brush teeth, change clothes, eat and etc. in the dark purposely.

Of course, this will save me some money and the light won't break easily.

Mostly, I want to feel what they feel, people who cannot see, especially who were not born blind.

Once in a while, I see people walking alone in the public with a blind walking stick, I have the urge to run to them and walk with them.

But I never, first of all, I don't want to scare them and also I found that they seem amazingly confident.

森七七

Sad to recall that years ago I decided that I didn't need one of a cross-body bag that my mom gave it to me and donated it.

Now all the purse that I have is either big or too small.

I want my old purse back!

senior friend

Last week, one of my senior friends died.

She was from the same city as mine.

Months ago after her colostomy, she had to carry a colostomy bag with her and then she had moved away to live with her son since then we only get to call each other for a couple of times and I always wanted to visit her but never did.

She is a typical Asian woman; bravery, perseverance, wisdom and independence, though she never got the chance to have educations; she never complained or want to bother others for help or anything.

Even right after the colostomy, I went to visit her in hospital, still she thanks God to spare her life and always never ever forget to pray for others.

She had an uneasy and tough childhood and a severe motorbike accident after married.

Thessalonians 帖 撒 羅 尼 迦 前 書 4:13-18
13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others who have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so will God bring with Him those also who sleep in Jesus. 15 For this we say unto you by the Word of the Lord: that we who are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord, shall not precede those who are asleep. 16 For the Lord Himself shall descend from Heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God; and the dead in Christ shall rise first; 17 then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so shall we ever be with the Lord. 18 Therefore comfort one another with these words.
13 論 到 睡 了 的 人 ， 我 們 不 願 意 弟 兄 們 不 知 道 ， 恐 怕 你 們 憂 傷 ， 像 那 些 沒 有 指 望 的 人 一 樣 。 14 我 們 若 信 耶 穌 死 而 復 活 了 ， 那 已 經 在 耶 穌 裡 睡 了 的 人 ， 神 也 必 將 他 與 耶 穌 一 同 帶 來 。 15 我 們 現 在 照 主 的 話 告 訴 你 們 一 件 事 ： 我 們 這 活 著 還 存 留 到 主 降 臨 的 人 ， 斷 不 能 在 那 已 經 睡 了 的 人 之 先 。 16 因 為 主 必 親 自 從 天 降 臨 ， 有 呼 叫 的 聲 音 和 天 使 長 的 聲 音 ， 又 有 神 的 號 吹 響 ； 那 在 基 督 裡 死 了 的 人 必 先 復 活 。 17 以 後 我 們 這 活 著 還 存 留 的 人 必 和 他 們 一 同 被 提 到 雲 裡 ， 在 空 中 與 主 相 遇 。 這 樣 ， 我 們 就 要 和 主 永 遠 同 在 。 18 所 以 ， 你 們 當 用 這 些 話 彼 此 勸 慰 。

customer is always right?

It’s a sad story.

Is customer always right?

First I have to pray for forgiveness from God. Forgive me talk something bad behind a customer, who is the brand new marketing manager.

But thing is the same policy of our company, I’ve being explain over and over again. Through phone calls and emails, I mean, for crying out loud, we are speak the same language.

I never meet her, from phone call, she is a control type of person, not quite nice, and her temper is constantly up and down. She hasn't have enough knowledge about marketing and the like.

Any who, in the end, she must said something behind my back to the decision maker, the boss, so they decide to change a sale representative.

What comes around goes around.

Pray to Lord me help me change anything that is not please Him.

The other day I’ve talk to my older son about this issue, and he told me that then she must have some special relationship with the owner, I’ll say, he is so right this time.

Supermarket

OK, here are two scenarios, all happen to me in two different famous mainstream supermarkets, while I was checking out. I don’t know about how others’ response or feelings, but I definitely, don’t feel very comfortable about them.

Scenario number one, I bought whole bunch of groceries which including a glass bottle of raw honeycomb, quite expensive. And while checking out, the cashier, ask me, “do you know the price for this one?” the way and tone that he asked, is quite disturbing to me, is like, “hey! Don’t’ you know it’s very expensive!?”

Scenario number two, again, almost the same situation, this time I had a bottle of some kind of expensive nature soap, pure Castile soap. As soon as the cashier scan this particular item and put it in the bag, he placed it to his counter, until the checkout completed, and I got the receipt. I have to ask him for this item back, weird. Is he really forget about it or did it on purpose, if so, why?

What happen to the world this day? Lack of loves, full of violence, racial discrimination, sexism and so on.

pediatrician

Two weeks ago, when I was reading the local news, a name pop up to me, shocking, that’s my sons’ pediatrician from 10-odd years ago.

He is being accused of Suspicion of Medicare fraud and illegal prescription drugs, charged with 53 counts. If he pleads guilty, he would jail for 34 years.

I feel so sad for him, from my memory then, he is a patient, kind, professional and willing to spend whole lot time to check up for your little ones and explain all you questions, especially for a worry mom like me. How and what happen to him, why is he doing those illegal things, it harms himself and his families at the same. Don’t he know more about the legal things than most of the people, don’t he own a lot more of money than most of people.

It’s really a shame, if he is 30-something 10 years ago, then he is 40-something now, and if he is guilty, and then he will be jailed for 34 years, and then that’ll be the end of his everything.

I should still pray for him, but don’t know what should I pray on, which particular one for him, maybe for his family?

1 Timothy 6:9 But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, into a snare, into many senseless and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction.

Psalm 111:10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; all who follow his precepts have good understanding. To him belongs eternal praise.
