Are we all that different?
A few years ago, Peter and I were really lucky enough to meet an amazing person. He in my eyes is a true saint of modern times. Despite the difficulties, he has forged through to set up a home for the unwanted in our socities. People infected with HIV AIDS. i have visited the home a few times (though not enough!) and has had helped this man a couple of times when help was needed.
Each time he asks for help, he does it in such an apologetic manner, as if he's the inferior one, begging for help. Each time he does that, it really scraps a part of my heart - knowing how worldly, pure, compassionate a man like him is and how i, myself is so small in comparison.
The best part about this man is - he never ceases to smile or crack a joke. despite all the pain he sees and feels daily, he is always happy, cheeful and full of joy.
in the midst of our "busy, busy" lives, we forget what is most important and sometimes real. This man is a constant reminder that life is much more than the silly work we do, its about having fun and enjoying it while doing it. (no matter what you do!)
as for the many lives he has touched, he constantly needs help to do more. and since he is so selfless doing it, y cant we help?
