At The Bus Stop

Just now, while walking back from Eunos (where mervyn blessed me with a lift and dropped me off at) i walked back home after buying the "wan bao" for my grandmother. I came across a boy walking barefooted to the bus stop, i felt there and then that he had alot on his mind, and was feeling a little sad. He then sat down and started to just look into space.

As i walked by, i just decieded to just try comfort him. Doing what little i could, i sat down and tried to talk to him, by then he already had tears in his eyes they stared to roll down his cheeks. I put my arm around his shoulder and just did what i could, gently patting and just what you'd do when someone is crying. I asked him if it was about his parents and he nodded, and asked if he would like to talk about it, but he declined. So i just sat with him and just kept comforting him, i knew too that it was hard for him, i being a stanger in his life and all. I didn't share with him about Jesus, but i did share how i too, when i was younger, was sad and depressed as well and i ran out to the bus stop as well, seeking solitude, or rather, seeking something or someone to help me. I guess that helped a little as he decieded it was time to go back home. While walking back i found out that his name was Timothy. I walked him back home and we parted at the gate, seeing him a little happier. I didn't do much i guess, i did what i could, but somehow maybe i felt i was lacking in how i handled the situation, if i should have shared about Jesus, and my past struggles with my parents as well. Questions aplenty i guess, but while walking back i sought God for his inquiry and as my name's meaning is, God is my judge, and asked Him how i did. I didn't get a "you did well" or something along those lines, but what i got was that, it was He who sent the little boy at that timing, and everything was His will, only if i chose to stop and take awhile, then i guess in that, i can consider that good. : )

I thank God for it was He that made me this way, knowing how to feel for others and how to just love them - even though im just doing simple things, and not needing to say anything smart or talk about God. But im sure there is room for improvement. Oh Lord, teach me Your ways, or Lord my God. Thank You, thank You for giving me life, and using me. Thank You for teaching me how to deal with things thus far, and i know You are going to do greater works. Thank You Lord. Amen.
