It sometimes creates a chain reaction of "LOVE".I received a warm hug this morning which prompted me to write this blog. I also thought of mentioning some other things which people have done to me which I don't have proof of it anymore.Only thing I can do is to write it down so that I dont forget these moments.
Johan verboom walked to me at kids church to give me a hug,this was because I had come back to Holland after 2 weeks of my stay in India.He climbed a small bench where the children used to sit and while still on that gave me a hug and after some time said "We are happy you are back".
On my trip to the village on May 22,23,24 2009 where my father grew up (Ammanpuram) in Tirunelveli in south of India where my fathers parents still live,I noticed that my grand father (will be 99 years in December) had lost his memory power and eyesight.He asked me the same question several times (i) what is your name? (ii) whose son are you? (iii) where do you work? etc. Still he could not remember but asked the same questions repeatedly.I sat next to him and giving him a rub on his back was spending some time with him even though he could not understand me(Not his fault though).After sometime I walked away to grab something to eat.
After waiting for sometime, he called out for his youngest daughter who is looking after him and said "There was one person sitting next to me,I dont know who....,please ask him to come back and sit here again"
He did that many times and then I felt a deep longing "Even though we dont understand each other there is something more than knowledge and eyesight that makes a person feel cared for"
Szazi Bene on my prikboard on facebook sending me some encouraging words.
Geranna Kruiswijk,an old Aunty whom I knew through Crossroads blessed me before I left to India.I still remember the way she said several times "blessed" to bless me before I left to India.
Ashwin Shekher,I was searching for a job after finishing my engineering.Ashwin took me to a friend of his dad to figure out possiblities for a job.Even though it did not work out,there are several things here.I was desperate to get a job but... I did not ask him to look for me for a job,still he wanted me to come with him.This move at a desperate time was really thoughtful.
Above all,I have to mention Jesus Christ and his love which prompted me also to make difference in the lives of of others
