Helping an old lady down some stairs is love!

Today was a rainy rainy day in HK. (No typhoon = 3 days of rain. sigh!) As I was rushing to lunch, I saw an old lady trying to get down some steps. The steps looked slippery, and it didn't seem like she could see very well, so I went up to her and asked if she needed some help. She accepted gratefully. :) She's happy, and I'm happy. And it made me realize that helping someone makes not just one person happy, but TWO people happy. Helping people can give you a joy that cannot be replaced by anything else else in this world. I think that's the type of joy that God wants us to experience all the time. May we not miss out on it, and keep spreading the love!

Sharing an umbrella with someone is love!

It's been pouring rain in HK lately, which is fine for me, because I love the rain. But for those who hate carrying umbrellas around, they won't like HK much in this season. I ran into one of these no-umbrella-for-me type friends after service yesterday. He was standing in the rain, looking forlorn (in the rain, we all do!) So I went up to him (scared him a little bit though), and shared my umbrella with him, as we strolled over to the nearest subway stop.

We chatted about everything from our summers, to the differences between the Christian and Islam faith. It was the best 15 minute conversation that I've had in a long time, and it's all because of the rain! In retrospect, this incident reminds me to take hold of every opportunity, even little opportunities, to show love, because you never know how God will use it show you something and to bless others!
