One wish

I'm finally feeling well enuff to go about doing my normal routine.. Being plagued down with a runny rose, a raw and sore throat and a 30 degrees fever for the past 2 days is no joke! Falling sick is utterly dreadful. I feel miserable! I've got a friend who once told me that if he were given one wish, he'll wish that he won't ever fall sick! Now I fully comprehend where he is coming from.. but still.. If I were given one wish, I wouldn't waste it on that!

So then he actually asked me if I were given one wish, what would I wish for? Here's my reply. Hmm....... World Peace. Hahaha. Nah.. that's too cliche. If i have one wish... From a purely selfish standpoint, I would wish for the knowledge to make money. Then I will be able to do the things I've always wanted to do.. like tour the world! And with a lot of money comes power and influence. When placed in the right hands, one can accomplish much. From a purely selfless standpoint, I would wish that on one in this world will ever have to live in severe poverty. So that on one will ever have to go hungry.. pple will not be reduced to begging on the streets and young girls will not have to be sold into prostitution just so that their family can survive a little longer on the little amount of money they receive. I think that's just plain sad. Where is their dignity as a person? The extremely poor pple in corrupt countries do not have any..

But wad everyone can have, is God, whether rich or poor. God makes all things possible, and He can bring joy and peace. Something that can't be bought! I think bringing someone to Christ is the greatest gift one can give to anyone.. because it's a gift that will last a lifetime and throughout eternity. It's my prayer that one day I'll be able to bring all my dear friends to Christ one day.. esp u girls..br, bx, jess, mich, n jamie.. my dearest friends all the way from sec school. Good friends are the of the highest value in this world.. not Prada or LV bags.. but understanding and trustworthy friends. And I would very much like to see u girls in heaven u know!

3 of my church friends recently just got into a car accident. The car was wrecked so badly that the mechanic wasn't sure if it could be repaired. But thank God all of them are all right by the grace of God. Not a single stratch.. But it made me realise how fragile life is. You can come back from a gathering and catching up with your friends today and the next day, they can be gone. Just like that. It's scary...

Ok enuff for now. Being sick makes me think of all these kinda serious thoughts. Haha.. but it's food for thought nonetheless!
