A little corner of in our hearts....

This morning, I had a good breakfast with a nun(sister). She is a some 70 year old sister but she doesn't look like one as she is very contented with life thus most of her words are not only encouraging, she said, we all have to let go of many things in this earthly world.

Later, we shared a lot about those missionaries that we both knew and at one part of her conversation, she said this:-"One priest told the parishioners - we all should have a little corner of our heart for the poor!"

She told me, even though the priest had since passed away for many years, in her reflection, she always remembered that statement what the priest had said.How often we have our that little corner for the poor?

Some rich or those or even myself at times, questioned, do I need to as I have slogged so hard for a living and yet I have to give out for others? If we often do so, will we help those lazy ones to get advantage over us? Do all poor are real poor to be considered POOR?

It always lies a big ? in my mind. Over the years of my life journey, at times of being so naive to those so called poor, I was ended up as a victim as once I fully trusted a kampong lady to come over to my house-keeping. Slowly and by bits, she took many of my clothes back without my knowledge until I realised it one day, but it was too late, as I have no evidence to corner her.

Should I curse or being angry to her or myself then? Slowly, over the time, the hurt was healed as I kept telling myself that at least not other valuables were lost. For that matter of things, it wont made her richer either!

It is still very skeptical of me at times to have that little corner in my heart for such poor!

(excuse me, if I ever pierce your heart, if you happen to read my words. But it is only reality that bites, many people are like that without gratitude.)
