This little film struck a chord in me. Caught up in our comfortable lives, it becomes so easy to forget about the poor and less fortunate in our communities and all around our region.
I realise i take it for granted that i never have to worry about food or shelter, when about 25,000 people die every day of hunger or hunger-related causes.
A vivid picture of a place i once visited comes to mind. Huts without doors, insufficient electricity, barefooted children and poorly ventilated classrooms that have never been cleaned. I remember thinking to myself, Singapore is just VERY privileged and blessed.
Matthew 25: 35-36 "For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in,I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.'
Matthew 24:40 The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'
Will we break the boundaries of comfort and go the extra mile when it calls for us? Hmm.
