The widow who gave much

As Jesus looked up, he saw the rich putting their gifts into the temple treasury. He also saw a poor widow put in two very small copper coins. “Truly I tell you,” he said, “this poor widow has put in more than all the others. All these people gave their gifts out of their wealth; but she out of her poverty put in all she had to live on.” (Luke 21:1-4 NIV)

This is what I always feel here, despite their lackings, I was never be put to hunger...the villagers felt I'm pitiful here, away from family..and to them I am not used to their local food, coz I always eat very little...not that I am not used to their food, but indeed I don't eat much one, esp come to rice. Here practically every meal is rice, and coming from position where I don't usually eat rice, it's some adjustment for me...

Today Ibu went and get maggi mee for me, one pack of maggi mee here in this kampung is RM 1, to us is nothing, to them it's a lot...am really touched to see how well treated I am...really not used to it coz I guess most of the times I'm always one who's giving...I guess God have shown me many times that it's all right to receive, though it's more blessed to give than received... Many times I'm just moved to tears, as how the simple live yet happy, but for us as bandar ppl,no matter how much one have will still be inadequate...hmmm

Simple yet heart warming meal
