delayed, but fast
man, God sure retaliates fast. well, in a good way.it's been months since i last had a new pair of shoes, and its been months since i last wore one. seriously. i have this notion that shoes are too expensive, or rather, they are not really worth thier tags. i tried to ask my mom for a pair, but then again, finances are too strict for a pair and i just can't bring myself to buy one: my beloved friends have scarcely anything to eat, and the price of a pair of shoes could somehow make their walk bearable. rationally, what do i need a pair of shoes for if i already have slippers?
it's been two weeks since i first craved for Welch's grape jiuce. root it all to the Communion. man, i love pouring the grape juice into those little Communion cups, and the taste somehow reminds me of, hm, well, something i can't quite eloquate. i've been saving up, a deed that is by God's grace alone (before, it was impossible for me to withold a hundred pesos from the food counter). i planned to buy the 1.89 litre, worth P233.50. but then again, my friends, ponkan juice (the stale one) is already a treat for them. hm, what's with grape juice outside Communion?
i asked, and God answered.
it wasn't in the itinerary. at least, not in mine. the message in church was Grace. after church, we went to Greenhills to get my Ate's ailing phone fixed. we passed by through stalls selling allsorts of things, things that people really don't need but they think they do. i pointed to this shoes, just pointed, and my aunt said that she will buy me a pair. well, we bought another pair since they don't have my size. i have to check my principles when it comes to buying imitations, but in that particular case, there's no stopping my aunt from getting me a pair since she told me that she rarely sees me in shoes. well, principles unformulated, i am thanful, then, we went to the supermarket. yes, there was Welch, and he was on sale. and yes, my aunt paid for it.
man, God is surely fast when it comes to delivering simple wishes. He's happy doing this, i know, i can feel He is.
the point of this entry is, i guess, getting a deeper insight thru the delay of wishes - and getting your wishes anyways when you are mature enough because of the delay, but still, He delivers fast. God surely knows His tactics. Graceful. Guwapo.
and oh, my aunt who blessed me with a pair of shoes and a bottle of Welch, her name is, no kidding, Grace.
