A Time to Give

A Time to Give

When I was young, I look forward to New Year
cos it's a time for new clothing, good food, visits,
and most of all, receiving ang pow (red package containing cash).

Now, as a parent, it's a time to give.
I complaint that the New Year season makes me broke.
But I am reminded, that is more blessed to give.
That to be able to give, is a blessing cos
there are some who are so poor that they are unable to give.

I am reminded that for all the years of receiving when I was young,
now is the time to give back.

To be able to give back to society more than you have received
shows you have make the mark.

In reflection, life has been good.
The kids are well taken care,
my job provides for the daily needs,
my wife is taking care of the household
and God has been good.
I have completed my diploma in Traininging.
The toastmasters Club is growing beyond its chartered strength.

This year, I want to continue to sharpen my writing skill.
To read more, write more, and hopefully, to publish my works.
