Circle of Love at Christmas

A nice story by Jon, Kampala Uganda

My mother has told me and my sister Karin, that Christmas this year will be very simple, we only get a small prize and there will be no special celebration. Our father has just left us and we live far from relatives, away from friends, mothers do not have a steady income and we also do not have much hope for our future. However, every night I pray for miracles to happen.
On the night before Christmas, we heard a knock at the door, my mother and I went out to a small porch in front of our home. We saw two men with two large baskets filled with food and gifts. Mother's tears began to flow, tears of joy and maybe also a little sadness. He was flooded with disbelief. Karin and I am very glad I did not think we will get a prize so much. Apparently the two men are our neighbors, and although we did not know each other but they felt that we needed help and they want to do something to make us feel special Christmas. We accept food, sweets, dry kueh-kueh, toys and other gifts.
Now many years have passed, and I'm past the slums of Kampala, Uganda. I am here to help build schools. The rain had just stopped and the roads filled with mud dirty crimson. In the opposite direction I saw a woman walking, holding the limp-studded shoes to protect his shoes from the mud. I looked at his face and our eyes met. In an instant I know, I do not understand how I know but it has come just like that. And this is not just happen this time. I knew she was looking for a job and he needs the money to finance his family life. I paused and looked at him. He wore clothes bought from flea markets that sell clothing. And that's likely the best clothes he had.
I asked him, "You do not have transport money huh?" He nodded, "I do not have food for my children." I reached into his pocket and spend $ 50 and also give a dime for her ride public transportation. $ 50 enough money to buy food for her family for a month.
As I gave money to him, he cried and told me he was not supposed to receive the money, but he was forced, and he would pray for me. He said again, "This morning I prayed for a miracle, for a sign and by noon I met you."
After that we continued our journey respectively. He was glad to answer my prayer and reflect on what I just experienced, what we had just experienced. I realized that I had just taken part in a divine plan, a loop that goes on that allows miracles to continue. I used to receive His grace and blessings, now I am able to give.

Life is like a wheel that kept spinning. This allows us to feel every thing is different in our lives. Sadness and joy also suffering and happiness. The difference is the quality and quantity of each person experiencing it. We should always remember this so that when you're in a position 'above' us not forget our neighbor who was 'under'. "Keep doing good", said Mother Teresa of Calcutta, "although all opposed and ridiculed, but keep doing good". When we receive good treatment from others, continue to the other fellow, be sure not to goodness it stopped on us. We never know how important our kindness to others

My Mother Loved Me Too

A nice story about love of a mother.

My mom only had one eye. I hated her, she was such an embarrassment. My mom ran a small shop at a flea market.She collected little weeds and such to sell, anything for the money we needed she was such an embarrassment.There was this one day during elementary school. I remember that it was field day, and my mom came. I was so embarrassed. How could she do this to me? I threw her a hateful look and ran out. The next day at school..."Your mom only has one eye?!" and they taunted me.

I wished that my mom would just disappear from this world so I said to my mom, "Mom, why don't you have the other eye?! You're only going to make me a laughingstock. Why don't you just die?" My mom did not respond. I guess I felt a little bad, but at the same time, it felt good to think that I had said what I'd wanted to say all this time.

Maybe it was because my mom hadn't punished me, but I didn't think that I had hurt her feelings very badly.

That night...I woke up, and went to the kitchen to get a glass of water. My mom was crying there, so quietly, as if she was afraid that she might wake me. I took a look at her, and then turned away. Because of the thing I had said to her earlier, there was something pinching at me in the corner of my heart. Even so, I hated my mother who was crying out of her one eye. So I told myself that I would grow up and become successful, because I hated my one-eyed mom and our desperate poverty.

Then I studied really hard. I left my mother and came to Seoul and studied, and got accepted in the Seoul University with all the confidence I had. Then, I got married. I bought a house of my own. Then I had kids, too. Now I'm living happily as a successful man. I like it here because it's a place that doesn't remind me of my mom.

This happiness was getting bigger and bigger, when someone unexpected came to see me "What?! Who's this?!"... It was my mother...Still with her one eye. It felt as if the whole sky was falling apart on me. My little girl ran away, scared of my mom's eye.

And I asked her, "Who are you? I don't know you!!!" as if I tried to make that real. I screamed at her "How dare you come to my house and scare my daughter! Get out here now!" And to this, my mother quietly answered, "oh, I'm so sorry. I may have gotten the wrong address," and she disappeared. Thank good ness... she doesn't recognize me. I was quite relieved. I told myself that I wasn't going to care, or think about this for the rest of my life.

Then a wave of relief came upon me... one day, a letter regarding a school reunion came to my house. I lied to my wife saying that I was going on a business trip. After the reunion, I went down to the old shack, that I used to call a house...just out of curiosity there, I found my mother fallen on the cold ground. But I did not shed a single tear. She had a piece of paper in her hand.... it was a letter to me.

My Son,

I think my life has been long enough now. And... I won't visit Seoul anymore... but would it be too much to ask if I wanted you to come visit me once in a while? I miss you so much. And I was so glad when I heard you were coming for the reunion. But I decided not to go to the school.... For you... I'm sorry that I only have one eye, and I was an embarrassment for you.

You see, when you were very little, you got into an accident, and lost your eye. As a mother, I couldn't stand watching you having to grow up with only one eye... so I gave you mine... I was so proud of my son that was seeing a whole new world for me, in my place, with that eye. I was never upset at you for anything you did. The couple times that you were angry with me. I thought to myself, 'it's because he loves me.' I miss the times when you were still young around me.

I miss you so much. I love you. You mean the world to me. My world shattered! Then I cried for the person who lived for me. My Mother.

Today is December 22, commemorating the Indonesian people as a Mother's Day. Perhaps not everyone has pleasant memories and experiences with their mother. Whatever it is, today let us remember the moment of togetherness with our mother, whenever and wherever it is the hope of mothers given the health and well-being in life. And for mothers who have been in heaven, they will always be remembered forever ... at least for today ...This nice story is dedicated to all mothers God bless all mothers

When I arrived there, seen that she was sobbing. In my view, more cries of grief rather than a fall. She was a young girl who looked so untidy with dark circles around his eyes. She dropped something when I helped her up, and I take for granted to her. It turns out one nickel coin. I then concluded: women crying, the old suburban filled with goods and three children in her car and pump the meter showed $ 4.95. I asked if everything is okay and if she needs help. She said: "I do not want my kids to see me cry!". Thus we stood away from her car the opposite pump. She told me that she was heading to California and the situation is very difficult for her at this time. I asked, 'Do you pray?' He retreated a bit, but I assure that I am not a lunatic and said, 'He heard you, and He sent me.'
I took my credit card and swipe the card reader of the pump so the car she could fill up. While gasoline was filled, I walk into McDonald's and bought two bags next to the great food, some vouchers for future use, and a large glass of coffee. She gives food to her son, who immediately grabbed like a starving wolf. We stood next to the pump while eating potatoes and talk a little bit. She told her name, told me that she lived in Kansas City. Boyfriend left her two months ago so she could not meet the needs of everyday life. She also knows that she will not be able to pay the rent in January. The objec despair she called her parents who never called by her for five years. They live in California and she finally agreed to stay with them until he could make money there. Finally, she packed all her things into the car belonging to the sole. She tells her children that they were going to California to celebrate Christmas, but do not tell that they would live there.
I noticed her hands was going to freeze, so I gave my gloves, providing small arms and recited a quick prayer with her so that he survived the journey.

 The story above encouraged me to express what I feel for this. My husband is not an office worker as a profession in general in the environment where I live. With a variety of considerations and also because of interest, my husband decided to become an Internet Marketer. Because this profession does not require my husband to leave home at a certain time, then in view of our neighbors is an unemployed husband. Initially disturbing but over time we ignore it and continue working. All men in this world have their respective roles, all of them useful. If we look from the other side of the work that we usually regard as lowly jobs as day laborers, scavengers, cleaning services, construction laborers, maids, domestic servants, public transportation drivers, rickshaw drivers, and so then we can see that they also have a role big in life. So let us assume the job - the job was as a lowly job, because we also need them, and all need each other as well as having important roles respectively.Let us be grateful for any of our work, and sincerely do our work best and are based on kindness to others.

Kindness

Mother Teresa of India tells the following nice story:


One day  a young couple from high caste Hindus came to our door and handed me a large amount of money to spend for the poor. In Calcutta we were cooking for 9000 people each day. The young couple expects their money used to buy food these people. Then I asked them, "Where did you get this much money?".

They replied, "Two days ago we got married. Before the wedding took place, we decided not to waste money to buy a fancy wedding dress, and also will not hold a wedding banquet. We want the money for it was given to the poor. "

For the high caste Hindus, do things like this is a big scandal. Companions and the relatives they can not imagine that wedding a couple of families who held without such famous gowns and wedding party lively.
  

Mother Teresa then asked them, "Why are you giving me all this money?"

And they gave this amazing answer, "We truly love each other so it was appropriate that we want to make a special sacrifice too early in our married life.

-Willi Hoffsuemmer-

In the community where I grew up until now, if a pair of lovers to be married, nominally and all their extended family will be very busy with the preparation that takes time, thought, effort and of course money. Everyone involved in the preparation of these include the prospective bridegroom, probably did not think to do extraordinary things like the bride in the story above. They were too busy with plans to enliven the party with the expectation will cause admiration to all the guests in attendance. Bride in the story above doing a truly good things. I hope their actions can inspire us to learn to be generous and share with others not only from excess but also from deficiencies that we have.

Sindu is a sweet child and includes smart in the new age of 8 years. She really did not like to eat this rice curd. My mother and my wife are still old-fashioned. They believe that when eating curd rice will cause a "cooling effect". I was reading the newspaper near the dining table. My wife approached me and asked in a high tone, "how much longer will you read the newspaper? Can you help me persuade Sindu eat rice?" I put down the newspaper and approached the table. I picked up the rice bowl and said "My dear, for me, would you eat a few spoonfuls of curd rice this? If not, then your mother will yelling to me". I could feel my wife's scowl behind my back. Sindu's crying subsided and she was wiping her eyes with her hand, and said "I would be allowed to eat curd rice is not just a few tablespoons but everything going to be spent, but I'll ask ..." For a moment he hesitated. "I will ask something when I out of all the rice. Is the father willing to promise to meet my request? I replied "oh sure, dear". Sindu asked once again to convince her that I was serious, “it really dad”? "Yeah sure", I said, grasping her  hands are soft as a sign of approval. Sindu also urged his mother to take the same pledge. My wife said without emotion, "promises", said my wife. I'm a bit worried and said, "Honey, do not ask for something expensive, because I does not currently have any money". Sindu said with a smile at me "do not worry dad, I did not ask for expensive items". Sindu then slowly and seemed to suffer, begin to eat and spend all the rice in a bowl. In my heart I feel angry to my mother  and my wife because they forced  Sindu to  eat something that she did not like. After Sindu through her suffering, she approached me with eyes full of hope, and all the attention (I, my wife and also my mother) on her. She held my hand and begged, "Daddy, I want to shave my head". We were all there in the room eating when it sank. 

 In the culture of our nation (India) it is not something reasonable. That is something that is impossible to do. It is impossible. My mother grumbled and assess Sindu watching too much TV so the TV programs that are destroying our culture values ​​in my daughter. I tried to persuade her. "Honey, get all the other things. We will all be sad to see you bald". But Sindu stick with her  choice and insisted that others do not want to ask. I tried begging her but she still did not budge. I melted when she said as she sobbed, "Dad, you saw how miserable I spent a rice milk was sour and you had promised to fulfill my request. Now, why you want to draw / lick your own spit? Did not you has taught a moral lesson, that we must fulfill our promises no matter what happens to a person like Harishchandra  king (an ancient Indian king) to fulfill his promise would have given the throne, wealth / power, even his own son's life ". I decided to fulfill my request. Simultaneously, my wife and my mom said "Are you crazy?" "No", I said "if we lick our own spit, she would never learn how to respect herself. Sindu, your wish will be fulfilled". She was shaving her head that day. With a bald head, round face appear Sind and nice big eyes. On Monday, I drove her  to school. I caught a glimpse bald Sindu walking to class and waved to me. Smiling, I waved back. Suddenly a boy came out of the car shouting, "Sindu please wait for me". What surprised me is it the boy's head was also bald. I think maybe bald is a trend nowadays . Without introducing herself , a woman out of the car and said, "your child, Sindu really great. The boy who walked with her right now is my son Harish. He suffered from leukemia cancer". The woman paused, sobbing cry. "Last month Harish absent from school. Because of Chemo therapy treatment head to be bald, so he did not want to go to school for fear of being ridiculed by his classmates. Last week Sindu came to my house and promised to my children to overcome the ridicule that might occur. I just really did not think that Sindu willing to sacrifice her beautiful hair for my son Harish. Mr and wife lord God has truly blessed the noble daughter. I stood and I cried, my little angel, please teach me about love.
