I know I said I won't blog.
But I just have got to say something.

The movie "Devil", it certainly had one purpose, which was to teach us that God is real, He is so real.
A quote from the movie was that if Devil is real, so is God.
It undoubtedly left me thinking one thing.
Why is it so that so many people in this world believe in the Devil but not in God?
Also, you have to realize that some things that you do are wrong.
And sometimes we have to forgive others who have some wrongdoings.

Just want to voice my opinion on today's care group.
Personally, it was slightly complex to me.
Or maybe it's because my brain was slightly not working right.
And I couldn't process the informations that Jun was sharing with all of us.
One part of the sharing session really made me cry a little inside me.
The small talk about poverty and how fortunate we all really are.

People always seem to think that their problems are so huge that it's almost like it's the end of the world.
But do they realize how small their problems are compared to those who are suffering with much bigger situations in their hands?
Ever heard of "I was sad because I had no shoes, until I met a man that had no feet."?
That to me, applies really well in the thing that I want to talk about.
I really thought back to 3 years ago.
Manjusri's overseas trip to Cambodia.
All of the feelings that I felt back there all rushed into me once again.
The main thing that I felt was the sadness that I had in me back then.

I really have a feeling that one of the reason why I don't really dare to shop that much is because I have seen people who have nothing right in front of me.
I just feel so blessed that I have the things that I have in my life right now.
Everyone should understand how many people in this world are living with so little things compared to us.
$1 a day.
That's what a whole lot of the world's population is surviving on.

Can you imagine?

Truthfully, I can't.
I'm not going to lie.
I'm sure you can't too.

I just want to tell you how important it is to treasure everything that you have/own.
And to always, ALWAYS, count your blessings.
Know that you are blessed.
Be grateful.
Be thankful.

The other point is about how real God is.
Never forget that, because it is such an important fact that people often forget or neglect to accept it as the truth.

Heading to bed with my whole heart feeling so loved, blessed, thankful, grateful and fortunate for everything.
And you guys should too.

I wish all of you a very good night.
And I won't forget to pray, and you should not too (:
Xoxo.
