Blind at Work

After work, I rushed to Robinsons Forum (Pioneer) last Friday to look for a techy laptop repair shop to fix Mebius (name of my laptop). While searching, a signage caught my attention “Vibes Massage Services” located at 2^nd floor of the Mall and what intrigued me most were, the massage rates were affordable plus I noticed that their masseur were blinds. Out of curiosity, I asked the receptionist and do you know what I had found? They offered a Bed Massage and Chair Massage services and their professional blind masseur had an expertise in Swedish, Shiatsu, Reflexology, and Acupressure.

Since, I’ve been experiencing a back pain for a longer period of time due to wrong seating postures I guess; I immediately signed up to give myself an indulging massage.

Building Lives

One of the most populated places in Guadalupe Nuevo is situated at the Street of Bario Visaya. At the corner of the houses, you can find group of mothers looking after their young ones which are playing everywhere. One weekend, we visited the place and informed the parents that Sumulong Baptist Church-Makati was offering a free Vacation Bible School for ages 3 to 12-year-old. In the midst of our promotion, the common comment I heard from the mothers were, “That’s a great program for the children they will surely learn good things about God. Chidren of this age are bad-mannered and hard-headed”. I just thought, “What happen to the children of today? Why at their young age they look impure, lost, and filled with wordly thoughts”. Is the world that we livein corrupted their pure minds? Or we that supposed to train and guide them towards the way they should go mislead them. He said: “Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it” (Proverbs 22:6).

Helping Hands

Read: Matthew 22:39

A few months ago, l was asked to share my testimony on one of the youth service of Sumulong Baptist Church-Makati. While speaking in front of the youth, I just noticed that my eyes were soaked with tears of happiness while remembering the favors that God has given to me.
