Over the Past 24 Hours
Over the past 24 hours, I experienced humanity's ups and downs....
I am a witness of The Story in present times as it is related to the stories of creation and fall.
When my mom had to dig the soil in order to get ginger for our meal;
when we had to turn on all electric fans yesterday due to humid;
when most of the fruits on our table were rotten;
when astray cats and dogs fight over our leftovers;
indeed, creation is cursed.
Yet this morning, my mom needed not to water her plants because it rained;
I love the weather, it's cold that I could rest;
I ate fruits for breakfast and lunch which is good for my health;
astray dogs and cats are playing like they're friends under the rain - I named them all and I can recite them;
and indeed, the creation is beautiful still....
When I woke up this morning, I received a message from one of my subordinates telling me that she should be receiving a reward for being on top. I am on leave so I had to speak to my manager to find out what happened. Then my manager simply told me that it was her discretion. I saw entitlement, self-righteousness, love of power to both --- may seem simple yet if you'll do RCA, there is so much wickedness in this scenario.
Yesterday afternoon I got a delivery from my CCF family - fruit basket, with lovely bouquet, and missing balloon (the stick was there, the balloon was gone lol). There was a simple note saying "get well soon". And I receive so many messages in fb and sms, iMessage and all - telling me how much I am missed and I am loved. My DGroup took time to care for my Philhealth and SSS since I cannot. (I just underwent gall bladder operation, by the way). My family is busy taking good care of me in this one month confinement. My sister even filed for vacation leave so she can stay with me in the hospital for couple of days. People around me are exerting time and effort and I feel the love of the Lord with them around (though God's love is present too even without them). They are one of the visible manifestation that there is still glory in humanity.
Humanity's godly image may have been corrupted because of the Fall, yet, no one can ever destroy God's loving creation.
