tv show
watched a tv show on tuesday night. it was titled something like, "days with my ah gong". the show is about a pri sch boy who was made to live with his grandfather while his mom took on a job. his grandfather works as a garang guni man. the pri sch boy, terry, has terrible attitude. he complains abt the food, tv, everythg! while grandpa was bathing, he threw away the chinese medicine that his grandfather was boiling. he puts marbles on the floor hoping his grandpa wld fall. he orders his grandpa not to go too near his school. he wrote 'stupid' behind grandpa's shirt. he scolds his grandpa for being useless and old & stupid. grandpa is sick but doesn't eat medicine unless he is in great pain so that he can save the money to buy things for the boy. grandpa used up all his savings to get grandson's game boy repaired and a new game. grandpa looks after terry when he is ill.when the grandson does the horrible things to grandpa, grandpa is upset, he gets sad, but still, he loves the boy and wants the best for the boy. until one day, grandpa stepped on the marbles the boy left on the floor. he slipped and fell. he laid in bed the next few days. terry started to reflect on the things he had done. felt sorry. looked at grandpa's money box, wanted to buy medicine for grandpa, all that was left was $10. boy decided to take over grandpa in the garang guni job. eventually he grew to love his grandpa. he wanted to look after grandpa and he didn't even want to go home. (he used to call his mom everyday to bring him home).
a very touching story. especially the part when the boy finally knew he was wrong and his attitude changed totally. i could see that there was this great sense of happiness in grandpa seeing his grandson growing up and loving him.
the grandpa reminds me of God. the boy reminds me of myself. sometimes i ignore God, sometimes i disobey God, sometimes i do things that make God sad. but yet, God still loves me, still blesses me, still takes care of me. and God will continue to do that until i finally realise His love, and go back to Him, to do the things that pleases Him, to do things for Him. then, we will be in a loving relationship with a great sense of joy.
help me to trust.
