LB MAF Celebration~!

Hello, fellow LBians!

There has been a break from visits recently! Hope you are well rested
and ready to do the visits again!!

Here's a little story that i've been yearning to share!!

After our Mid-autumn festival (MAF) celebration some weeks back,
Weijian (hokkien grp leader) and I went to to Blind Sisters' to give
them the mooncakes.

When we reached, one of the sisters was sleeping and the other was
sitting on the floor.We chatted with her for a while and then I began
to notice what she was doing as she talked to us...

She was fixing a button that has dropped out from her blouse back
onto it with a needle and thread!

I was taken aback by it at first because she can hardly see anything!
And then I realised that I have underestimated her totally. When we
praised her for her good skill, and asked her how did she put the
thread thru the needle hole, she casually laughed it off and said 'by
touch lo'(in hokkien).

I was impressed not just by her sewing skills and sense of touch, but
more so by her cheerfulness. This joy at heart has kept her away from
letting her bad eyesight hinder her life.

We then left her house filled with admiration and a bit of shame
because we often let inconsequential events of life hinder us from
moving on, when there are even greater obstacles (these elderly have
overcome many of them already) waiting for us.

Yes! So let us all keep joy in our hearts so we can conquer even
greater challenges ahead!

Good Night!
