Yesterday, I was touched by an angel

I remember having an interesting candid conversation with a foreigner yesterday at Mercury Drugstore. I was staring blankly at something with loads of things running inside my head when this guy suddenly popped me with series of questions.

F: Are you happy?

Me: Huh? Yes.

F: Fully happy or partially?

Me: I’m happy (grins at him)

F: Are you thankful?

Me: Of course, my kids are getting better. (and yet I’m buying a new med for Jiro’s cough)

F: Are you thankful to Jesus?

Me: Oh yeah, HE provides everything!(Definitely true!)

F: Alleluia! I hope you enjoy the rest of the day. (smiles at me)

Me: You too. Thanks! Bye.

I just realized that I might have been looking so problematic or worried that’s why that foreigner asked me if I’m happy. My eyes totally gives me away. Honestly, I could not remember what I was really thinking that time. Perhaps I’ve been computing the remaining budget for the next 10 days after buying the much needed medicine. Perhaps I’ve been contemplating on how I could increase my income. Maybe I was thinking if I’m gonna let Jiro attend school the next day or just let him rest for the whole week. I’m always thinking and planning that I never care what people around thinks of me when I don’t mingle with them much. FOr awhile I was concerned that my worries are already showing physically. (too bad, the face is always the first part that shows signs of stress.) But now I realized that when worries occupy my mind, it doesn’t give any room for God to show his love. In my case, He has to use somebody to remind me that I need not worry coz He provides everything. I’ve always known that but this time I felt that reminder in my heart.

Yesterday, I was touched by an angel. He reminded what I’ve known all along. That God always provide. I need not worry.
