Girls' Brigade 44th Company.

Hi girls,

I believed that exams are over for all of you, but not me yet. =(

Well, though exams are over, I hope that all of you have done your best.

Good luck to those who are having drill tests this Saturday, please make sure that you have done enough drill practices at home and everywhere you go!!! =)

I came upon a meaningful story and would like to share it with all of you. Please see the story as attached below.

-quoted-

A young man was getting ready to graduate college. For many months he had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer's showroom, and knowing his father could well afford it, he told him that was all he wanted.

As Graduation Day approached, the young man awaited signs that his father had purchased the car. Finally, on the morning of his graduation his father called him into his private study. His father told him how proud he was to have such a fine son, and told him how much he loved him. He handed his son a beautiful wrapped gift box. Curious, but somewhat disappointed the young man opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Bible.

Angrily, he raised his voice at his father and said, "With all your money you give me a Bible?" and stormed out of the house, leaving the holy book.

Many years passed and the young man was very successful in business. He had a beautiful home and wonderful family, but realized his father was very old, and thought perhaps he should go to him. He had not seen him since that graduation day. Before he could make arrangements, he received a telegram telling him his father had passed away, and willed all of his possessions to his son. He needed to come home immediately and take care things. When he arrived at his father's house, sudden sadness and regret filled his heart.

He began to search his father's important papers and saw the still new Bible, just as he had left it years ago. With tears, he opened the Bible and began to turn the pages. As he read those words, a car key dropped from an envelope taped behind the Bible. It had a tag with the dealer's name, the same dealer who had the sports car he had desired. On the tag was the date of his graduation, and the words...PAID IN FULL.

How many times do we miss God's blessings because they are not packaged as we expected?

Our parents are always our lifeline, no matter what happens to us, they will always be by our side.

Think of a situation where you are in deep trouble, who will be by your side supporting you throughout? Not friends, Not buddies, Not colleagues, but definitely your Family.

We might find our parents naggy at times, I do not deny it, but we will have to learn to appreciate them.

They might be around with us for the next 50 years, but not forever.
