Turn to your neighbor and say, “Is time to give.” I would like to share a story with all of you. Two days ago, in the afternoon, I had an English class with my 6 year-old children. We were singing songs and at the mean time, I am explaining the meaning of the lyrics to them one-by-one. When it came to one song which is about pet, children felt very excited discussing about it. Since I see they were so interested to talk about pet, then I asked the children who has pet at home. They rose up their hands and take turns to share their story about their pet at home. After sharing, it is my turn to share my story with them. I told my children I saw a very cute rabbit in one shopping mall and I described the rabbit to them. Then, there was one child asking me whether I bought the rabbit or not. I said, “No, because it is too expensive.” He asked again, “Teacher, how much?” I told him it was RM800, and he was shocked. He told me he only has RM300. I smiled at him. In a short while, guess what he said? “Teacher, I give you the money to buy the rabbit okay.” I was so touched by him. From this point you can see the little boy is so naïve and caring. Perhaps the child still does not understand the value of the money, but, he just said from the bottom of his heart that he wants to give me the money to buy the rabbit since I wanted it so much. He is caring for others more than himself. Friends, a 6 year-old boy could do that, what about us as the sons and daughters of God. Amen!! When we give, we give from the bottom of our heart, that is what calls faith!! Our god has always kept His promise to us, so what about our promise to Him? So friends, are u ready to be a faithful giver today? Let’s give our very best to God. Amen!!
