by just a millisecond, the girl who waited for hours just to get her share of free medicine, missed the last one! All she got from the person giving out the freebies was a dismayed look accompanied by the phrase "wala na po..." (no more)
It broke my heart as she passed by me...head hung low...carrying her two month old baby. As she approached her young husband, she gave him a long look...the look of worry...the look of fear...no words can fully describe the emotion that came along that long stare. The young man sighed...took the baby from her wife's frail overworked hands and went on their way. She followed her husband along a crooked path back to where they came from. Half way through, she looked back...eyes wandering frantically...hoping that somehow...someway...she could get those medicines that she desperately need. moments passed...still no medicines. Another minute more and her eyes started to well up with tears...then she turned her back...and continued their journey back home.
The reality of life is cruel...they needed Jesus more than the medicine she lined up for...i pray that she and her family would come to know Christ...because He has all the answer to life's problems...
aren't you glad that when you ask for salvation, no one will ever say "wala na po."
