Well, the short "holiday" is over. Just like to post something to drive your blues away. Something I encoutered last week.
Saw an Indian boy crying yesterday in a shop near my office. His mom has just picked him up after school. While walking past the shops, his mother, apparently distracted by large variety of goodies on display, has totally forgotten about her son. After a few quick turns, this boy could not catch up and lost sight of his mom. So, he started crying. A kind shop keeper ran out to help him look for his mother. Fortunately, there wasn't many Indians in the area and it was not difficult to spot a lone woman carrying a primary school bag. Funny. People can be so forgetful.
The feeling of being forgotten must be quite frightening for a small kid. Even for adult, it is quite depressing.
"Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows." Luke 12:6-7
