I stepped on a snail

My dad told me that when I bummed into him Sunday morning. I was going home from church, he was going to church. We walked the same way only the opposite direction. There were snails everywhere on the sidewalk cos it has rained earlier in the morning.

While walking home, I realized, how we don't invite each other to much of the things in my family. The most likely family activity would be dim sum with grams, and occasionally grams invite me or dad, or my uncle along. That's all. We don't do anything else. (besides dinner)

And while I thought how distant me and my dad are earlier that day. Just the same Sunday, at night, this little miracle happens.. I was bit upset while talking to a friend on msn because I got emotional a little about what we talked about (like our struggles, life, God, etc).. then my dad walks in. He saw me and we somehow started talking.

Thanks. I think it's been ages (literally), since we ever talk about "feelings". and it's probably my first time talking to him like this. God likes to play these miracles does He? though for some other people this probably's not any miracle, but for me, it's a miracle.


A personal story he's telling me:

"Some people complained on the ship while in the storm - "the ship is so wobbly", "why does the pilot drive the ship like this?""

"It's possible to find a smaller storm to pass through, but the entire area of the ocean is in storm, the ship is going to be wobbly for sure, you just have to accept that this is a ship in a storm"



There are more he said, but this is the one I liked the most.

I believe I caught a great chance, God must have given me this chance to talk to my dad. If I was like before saying "nothing, it's okay". then things wouldn't turn out like this. I learned. sometimes I have to say "it's not okay". ^_^ That's it, keep going lala. I can do this!
