"What do you want Lucas? Pick one and ah yi buy for you."
We were shopping at Plaza Singapura. As we walked past a cake shop, he stopped outside the cake shop and looking at the cakes with great interest. (Just like those children in the movie when they will looked at the shoes on display inside the shop with.. such a I-dont-know-how-to-express look on their face. You just know that they want the shoe badly.)
As I told Lucas to choose one and I will buy for him, my heart was overwhelm with a sense of privilege and blessings. Its a privilege that I can tell my loved ones that I can provide for them. How much an assurance and comfort must it be for those of us who have that assurance. And how much more a blessing that we are able to assure our loved ones of our ability to provide. I am thankful for that.
My thoughts go to many of the people I know who cannot even afford the daily necessities for their children. Dont even mention a piece of cake which is a luxury.
I am so thankful for my abled-body to be able to provide for my loved ones. Yet I need to remember and rely on God as the Jehovah Jireh...
