Next week i will be joining some training that will equip me to be part of relief team for disaster area. To be able to be involved in such work, i will need to get so many things in order for me to be able to be equipped. But first things first. The most important things I'd need to get asap are: shoes, a bagpack, and cargo pants.
I am at the moment in my home country which basically a place where everything is relatively affordable compared to the place I've been living for the past 4 years. So I thought I'd do some price checking here for these things I'd need to get before training starts on Tuesday.
Two days ago I went to check on the shoes and found out that the shoes are quite expensive even though it's still cheaper than the other country. I received some $ just recently so I could actually get the shoes, and on top of that, my mom said she'd top it up if I didn't have enough. Yet I felt to just wait because I'm only doing some price checking. So I waited, though the feeling is like: "Just buy, it's cheaper here".
Earlier today, I was on the way to check on the bagpack's price but somehow I felt to go back home, so I went home instead. Few hours later I felt to really go and check on the price again, so I went out. When I was driving, my friend called me and we just chatted on the phone. As soon as I was reaching the bagpack store, my friend found out where I was heading and told me that the place is just around the corner of where my friend works at. After I parked the car, I got a text saying that my friend would meet me at the store.
I was looking at the bagpack and found out that the price is really way cheaper. I was contemplating if I should get it. "the bag or the shoes", I thought to myself. Then my friend arrived and we both looked at the bag. My friend took the bag off my hand and said: "Let's put it back."I carried on looking around as my friend went to put it back. About a minute later, I found my friend was holding on a piece of paper that I found out to be a bill. I was shocked, I got to get my hand on the paper and tried to pull it away yet I couldn't coz my friend held it firm.
"I only wanted to do a price check!", I said.
My friend walked away with the bill towards the cashier, and of course I followed saying: "Come on, I can pay for this, or at least let me pay half of it."
"Do you wanna know why I wanna pay for this?", said my friend.
"Heck yea!", I quickly replied.
Reaching into the pocket, my friend smiled and told me: "I left office quickly and grabbed around $69. And when I saw the bag's price is $66, I knew I was to get you the bag."
I stopped right there. I was so amazed because I knew it was HIM, and I can't stop my friend from doing it when I saw a glimpse of joy on that face.
I GOT A BAGPACK!!!
DAD sent an angel to get me a bagpack!!!!
... and the day went on...
Later in the evening I stopped by another friend's house to drop some gift I promised, which is just simple snacks. And to my surprise, that friend gave me 3 gift vouchers that can be used in the store where I can find the shoes I wanted to get two days ago.
WHATTTT?!? DAD outgave me!
He really outgave me BIG time!
snacks for 3 gift vouchers???
DAD thank You so much! thank You for the gifts, thank you for the angels you put in my life,
... and most importantly thank You for reminding me of You in the midst of this shower of blessings...
