I grew up in a poor but well to do family. Meaning my parents dun earn big bucks but we still get our 3 meals a day. Since young my family made do with cheap stuff and i only wore cheap stuff. So i was just lying on my bed just now and i recalled an incident when i was still in primary 2. So during recess that time i didnt eat so i just sat at the line where i always lined up to go back to class. I was a loner in my primary school days so i recalled i was sitting at the line alone looking at the kids eating happily and some of them playing with their friends. I didnt notice my primary school principal walking up to me. So i was just looking at the kids when she bend down low to my level and asked why i was'nt eating. I told her that i wanted to save money for my parents so that my family could have more to spend. She gave this very warm and innocent look at me and then patted my head and muttered this words to me :"Truely pure and innocent". This really makes me wonder where has all my innocence gone to. That innocence that i had when i was still young? That love i had for my parents when i was still young. At least now i understand why Jesus said that we have to have a heart of a child.
But come to think of it, i never once regretted being born into a family that is poor . Although many times we couldnt get things that we want coz its too expensive. But it certainly has taught me to value things that i have.
