Kitreena: Mom, when we go to Atuk’s house this weekend I wanna give him money.
Mommy: Huh? Why do you wanna give him money?
Kitreena: So Atuk can get more food and stuff.
Mommy: Oh okay. But I think Atuk has enough food and stuff, Monch.
Kitreena: Yeah but there’s gonna be a lot of people at Atuk’s house this weekend. Maybe he won’t have enough money to buy food and stuff for everybody.
Mommy: Oookaaay. So… how much are you gonna give Atuk?
Kitreena: I found 50 cents by the pool the other day and I have one ringgit from the Tooth Fairy. One ringgit and fifty cents altogether.
Mommy: Oh… what a precious thought you have, sweetheart!

There are times when I have soooo much more than RM1.50 and feel like it is never enough, let alone feeling like giving. With this girl, though… I must have done something right somewhere. For, to her, it is better to have little and give all, than to have much and give none at all.

Thank you, Lord.

that reminds me, that life ‘s pleasure is not all about the big things..its the small things also… such a precious Kitreena
Betul Ana, watching my kids… more often than not mengingatkan saya that life offers so much more than what money can buy. Pleasure comes from giving much much more than from receiving. Sebab tu bila Kitreena dengan bangganya nak bagi RM1.50 (sahaja) to Atuk, I rasa kagum walaupun terasa tersindir sikit. At least budak tu ada niat nak bagi. RM1.50 dapat lagi 3 bungkus nasik lemak di Kedai Kak Mek dekat padang serbaguna Kerdau tu. Hehe.
