Was feeling rather down today until i saw this e-mail in my mailbox from one of my choir mates.

A son asked his father, 'Dad, will you take part in a marathon with me?'.
The father who, despite having a heart condition, says 'Yes'.
They went on to complete the marathon together.
Father and son went on to join other marathons, the father always saying 'Yes' to his son's request of going through the race together.
One day, the son asked his father, 'Dad, let's join the Iron man together.'
To which, his father said 'Yes' too.
For those who don't know, Ironman is the toughest triathlon ever.
The race encompasses three endurance events of a 2.4mile (3.86 kilometer) ocean swim, followed by a 112mile (180.2 kilometer) bike ride, and ending with a 26.2 mile (42.195 kilometer) marathon along the coast of the Big Island.
Father and son went on to complete the race together.

Somehow, it hit me really hard, so hard that i couldn't stop crying for 5 minutes.
Sometimes, i cannot help but develop feelings of discontentment and inadequacies about my life, but then i realise that God has already been giving me so much, why should i still ask for more?
Life is not a straight and smooth road. There are bumps and humps along the way, ups and downs which help people remember what they have gone through in life.
Many times, people remember the downs more often then the ups and then they wonder where was God when they were down?
But many do not realise that God has always been there.
I, for one, do not realise that as well.
I get discontented with life.
I get unhappy when things do not turn out the way i want them to be.
I get frustrated when i want to do things which i cannot do.
I get annoyed when i am told not to go places i want to go.
I get unsatisfied when everyone else seems to be much happier than i am.
I get envious of the gifts and talents people are filled with, and often wonder why am i not in their positions.
But never did i sit down and think about what God has already given me.
He has given me so much, my family, my friends, and my health.
An entire abled body for me to make full use of, to do whatever He wants me to do.
And yet I am still here whining and complaining about life and how it is mistreating me.
I guess now is the time for me to wake up. WAKE UP!!!

Yours truly,
Me
