Humanity

My family and I were caught in the rain at the bus-stop last Sat after Novena service. Having only 2 umbrellas, I instinctly instucted MY ONE to use one and drive the car over whilst getting my mum, helpers and kids to share the the remaining one, ever prepared to carry all the barang (and big pram) and dashing it out in the rain so that the rest would be dry.

Then a fellow believer in Christ, although from a foreign land, walked over and handed me her only umbrella, only to dash out in the rain immediately after. My subsequent efforts to return the umbrella proved futile. Yes, it was just a tiny little umbrella, many would say, but it touched my heart so warmly that even the heavy rain could not dampened. It now sits in a special place next to a picture of Mother Mary, always reminding me of humanity.
