The day before, I had been awfully busy with preparations for my older brother's wedding. I got back and had to make my hair and also do some laundry. I hadn't had my "I just got back from school, please allow me" sleep. At this point, I felt like my head was going to snap open if I didn't. I had just slept for a while after struggling for a long time when my mum came to my room and woke me up to dress up. At this point, I'm like "what"?!!! Apparently, my brother who hadn't been feeling too well for quite a while now had to be taken to the hospital, and I was supposed to be the "delegate" if they needed someone to stay with him. I wasn't too happy about it, but hey! My brother needed me. After all the "hospital waka", we finally got home around past 11. You can imagine how I felt at this point. I didn't even bother to eat anything cos at this point I'm quite hungry but the sleep is much more important. I scramble into bed and like a baby, I sleep.
The next morning, my mum comes into the room to wake me up by past 5 asking if I'm still following her for her graduation. The sleepiness I feel cannot be explained even though I'm just waking up. She's now like "if you don't want to go, you could just stay back. I can see you're really tired". Knowing the kind of person my mum is, she didn't mean it for me to stay. I saw the sadness in her eyes and so I agreed to go with her. I sacrificed my sleep just to make her happy cos I know she's sacrificed a lot just to make me happy. Today's topic I'd on SACRIFICE. Sacrifice is giving up your comfort zone and things that please you just to make the other person happy. It's the quality of putting the other person 1st other than yourself. The world we live in today is a selfish one, and nobody cares how the other person feels. As Christians, we should embrace the life of sacrifice as that is the major reason why we are where we are. If God acted like you when he was meant to give up his son just for your sake, do you think you'd be here today?
Ponder on this and let's show that our Christianity isn't just a way to classify us but it's indeed who we truly are.
