A Baby's Hug
my friend from marching band sent me this. have a read.
A Baby's Hug
We were the only family with children in the restaurant. I sat Erik in a high chair and noticed everyone was quietly sitting and talking. Suddenly, Erik squealed with glee and said, 'Hi.' He pounded his fat baby hands on the high chair tray. His eyes were crinkled in laughter and his mouth was bared in a toothless grin, as he wriggled and giggled with merriment.
I looked around and saw the source of his merriment. It was a man whose pants were baggy with a zipper at half-mast and his toes poked out of would-be shoes. His shirt was dirty and his hair was uncombed and unwashed. His whiskers were too short to be called a beard and his nose was so varicose it looked like a road map.
We were too far from him to smell, but I was sure he smelled. His hands waved and flapped on loose wrists. 'Hi there, baby; hi there, big boy. I see ya, buster,' the man said to Erik.
My husband and I exchanged looks, 'What do we do?'
Erik continued to laugh and answer, 'Hi.'
Everyone in the restaurant noticed and looked at us and then at the man. The old geezer was creating a nuisance with my beautiful baby. Our meal came and the man began shouting from across the room, 'Do ya patty cake? Do you know peek-a-boo? Hey, look, he knows peek- a-boo.'
Nobody thought the old man was cute. He was obviously drunk. My husband and I were embarrassed. We ate in silence; all except for Erik, who was running through his repertoire for the admiring skid-row bum, who in turn, reciprocated with his cute comments.
We finally got through the meal and headed for the door. My husband went to pay the check and told me to meet him in the parking lot. The old man sat poised between me and the door. 'Lord, just let me out of here before he speaks to me or Erik,' I prayed. As I drew closer to the man, I turned my back trying to sidestep him and avoid any air he might be breathing. As I did, Erik leaned over my arm, reaching with both arms in a baby's 'pick-me-up' position. Before I could stop him, Erik had propelled himself from my arms to the man.
Suddenly a very old smelly man and a very young baby consummated their love and kinship. Erik in an act of total trust, love, and submission laid his tiny head upon the man's ragged shoulder. The man's eyes closed, and I saw tears hover beneath his lashes. His aged hands full of grime, pain, and hard labor, cradled my baby's bottom and stroked his back. No two beings have ever loved so deeply for so short a time.
I stood awestruck. The old man rocked and cradled Erik in his arms and his eyes opened and set squarely on mine. He said in a firm commanding voice, 'You take care of this baby.'
Somehow I managed, 'I will,' from a throat that contained a tone.
He pried Erik from his chest, lovingly and longingly, as though he were in pain. I received my baby, and the man said, 'God bless you, ma'am, you've given me my Christmas gift.'
I said nothing more than a muttered thanks. With Erik in my arms, I ran for the car. My husband was wondering why I was crying and holding Erik so tightly, and why I was saying, 'My God, my God, forgive me.'
I had just witnessed Christ's love shown through the innocence of a tiny child who saw no sin, who made no judgment; a child who saw a soul, and a mother who saw a suit of clothes. I was a Christian who was blind, holding a child who was not. I felt it was God asking, 'Are you willing to share your son for a moment?' when He shared His for all eternity.
The ragged old man, unwittingly, had reminded me, 'To enter the Kingdom of God , we must become as little children.'
Sometimes, it takes a child to remind us of what is really important. We must always remember who we are, where we came from and, most importantly, how we feel about others. The clothes on your back or the car that you drive or the house that you live in does not define you at all; it is how you treat your fellow man that identifies who you are.
ive been so caught up in this world with appearance. judging ppl just by what they 'seem' to be. always after worldly possessions. like... how many times have i made an assumption about someone just cus of what they look they? do i think of myself as 'better' than that person? i do. not gunna lie. in this world, we're constantly trying to live ourselves up to be the best person we can. why? cus im asian and wanna please my parents? wanna look good in front of other ppl? but its true. im no better. we're all sinners. and theres no such thing as a 'badder' sin. sin is sin.
everybody needs love. one thing thats been on my mind lately are the ppl who've always attended church, but they feel like they dont belong. dunno how big of an issue this is at other churches but at scac, its been going on for a while. like... usually, when we welcome ppl, we immediately think about that 'new stranger' that's just stepped in the front doors. but i know of a few ppl who've felt really left out. myself included. some of us have stayed at scac and want to make a change. others have been so hurt by it they've left. and the cliche thing to say is "it happens cus of cliques". but i was catching up with a friend recently and she mentioned how cliques actually promote a sense of unity/belonging. ive never heard of that so gave it some thought. and til now, i still dunno if its true. but i also dunno if its NOT true.
yes... exam time and so much non-studying is on my mind. haha... but im looking fwd to the holidays. got so much lined up! :D which also means lots of money! but thats never been an issue. =P fellowship/bonding/family time wins over 'saving up to buy more worldly treasures' anyday!

sooo NOT studying!
well, for starters, i woke up at 1:30pm today. and its not like i slept really late last night either. probs at like 2am? not too bad. but its just cus i kept dreaming. like... i dream every night (my mother claims theres something wrong with me. anyone who knows about dreams know if its normal? haha..) and the thing is, i was dreaming about something =). so i forced myself to go back to sleep in hopes of continuing the dream. and it did continue! HAHA.. now the sad part, is i dont remember what my dream was anymore >=(. its cus i dream so much, i never remember my dreams. shucks.
so when i finally got myself to get outta bed, went to the washroom, then sat myself back in front of the laptop, and did the usual email/facebook check. then my finger just clicked into other ppl's bloggers. yes.. i unconsciously did it. then from ppl's blogs, there were links. links to xangas and bloggers. so i ended up 'stalking' on xanga. gosh im sucha stalker. s'like... events i knew about that happened a few years ago. then i ended up on those ppl's xanga's and looked up the event back to that date and got both sides of the story. =P thank you for not enabling xanga lock. HAHA. but technically, its not stalking. if they published it online, then they meant it to be read by others. not necessarily me but you get the point. =P
its nearly 3pm. gosh im so unproductive. but my mind hasnt been on academics this entire term. its been elsewhere. lotta places. just not studying. cant wait to get back to toronto for one. i miss my parents. i cant wait to get back and just stay up wii-ing with my dad! and other random talks we have. =) my dad is sucha great friend. maybe cus my mother still nags me so much. haha... iunno. but my goal this christmas is to not schedule too much social stuff and spend more time at home. so far its not too bad. pretty well balanced! seeing some friends (just 3 events), coluni overnight ski/boarding trip, western acf lunch (still tbd), high school friends, and the rest will be family time. gotta go visit my grandma too! then probs take her out for a family gathering dinner or lunch of some sort. cant wait to see my cousins too! yay! christmas = family. =) so thankful that its always been the case for me. since my mother's side is all here in canada, and my dad's side has 1 family here while the rest is in the USA (ooooosa. HAHA!) so they occasionally drive up or we go down. speaking of family, i've got a nephew!! my cousin gave birth to James (i think? still need to confirm if thats the first or middle name,) back on like nov12th or something!! yay! the family grows. =)
but yeah. less than 2 weeks and i'll be back in TO already! can i at least try to be an academic person for like 12 days? =\ time to try. i just need motivation.
