Caring And Sharing

8 July

I thought about what Ps Ed shared in his session about systemic poverty and I completely agree … Sharing makes wealth the MOST Enjoyable. And just to add what a newspaper articles recently wrote about this lady who lived to 110 years old (see below) …. I think we could learn something about sharing. Does it have something to do with long life? Ha!

SINGAPORE: Centenarian Teresa Hsu, who has seen two World Wars and lived in two centuries, has turned 110 years old and her birthday was celebrated in a grand way with 280 of those who care for her. Raffles Institution was the venue for the party attended by both the young and the old. Some 20 student volunteers who are working with the Heart-to-Heart Voluntary Welfare Organization – which Madam Hsu is part of – had organized the special party. After the birthday song was sung in both English and Mandarin, the grand old dame, who showed that she had not lost her humor, wished that everyone present would live to 2,000 years old. She said: "I share with my brothers and sisters who don't have the basic needs. If they are hungry, I share my bowl of rice. I am very happy I choose to do it."


“Instruct the rich to do good works, to be generous and ready to share, storing up for themselves the treasure of a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of that which is life indeed.” 1 Tim 5:18-19

Sow a thought : Ps Ed mentioned that the rich and the poor must minister together because there is something they can learn from each other. The rich have wealth to offer while the poor has spiritual insight and faith. How apt!
