papuntang San Miguel, may nakasakay ako sa jeep na 3 mahirap/nangangalakal, Isang Matandang babae, isang teenager na lalake at isang batang babae. At first i was disgusted because they smell really bad. Nang magbayad ang ale ng P7.00, ang sabi ng jeepney driver "kasama mo ba yung dalawang bata? kulang ng bayad niyo" at sagot ng ale "nangangalakal lng naman po kami, yan lang kaya namin" with sadness on her face. the teenager doesnt want to sit dahil nahihiya kaya tumayo na lang siya, pero sinigaw sigawan niya nung driver. Nanlambot yung puso ko dahil wala naman gingawa ung bata ehh, sumbit na nga lang. Kumuha ako ng pera sa bag ko at iniabot sa driver "kuya, bayad po nung bata para makaupo n at wag niyo na hiyain". and then everyone started staring its as if i did something wrong.The little girl was sitting beside me and i heard her talking to her lola "nagugutom na ako" then the ale said "hahanap pa tayo ng pagkukuhanan natin ng pambili." my eyes started to become teary, so i grabbed my wallet ang gave the ale P100 and told her "pasensiya na po yan lang kaya ko ngayon, kumain na po kayo pagkababa niyo." The ale looked at me with a smile on her face and said "maraming salamat anak, kaawaan ka ng Diyos". Hindi maipinta ang mukha nilang tatlo sa ligaya. Nagabot na din sa kanila ng pera ang mga kasakay namin sa jeep, at halos maluha na ang ale. Pagkababa nila sa hrp ng SM, ang sabi ng ale "maraming salamat sa mg tulong niyo, malking bagay ito samin. Gabayan sana kayo ng Diyos at patuloy na tumanggap ng biyaya."
no matter how unfortunate they are, they never lose hope & faith in our Lord.
I was then reminded of the verse "GOD LOVES A CHEERFUL GIVER" & "Honor the Lord with your wealth and with the first fruits of all your produce; then your barns will be filled with plenty,and your vats will be bursting with wine.".
Never miss a chance to give & be a blessing to other people in many ways. :">
