HE Works In Mysterious Ways
HE works in mysterious ways
Saturday 12th. October 2003 was the Family Day for my wife's company. So, we attended the event, held at a waterpark.
The highlight was on the lucky draw: lots of interesting (and not so interesting!) prizes to be won and as the title goes it is those who are lucky who will get the best ones..
I was hoping for the 29" TV or the HP iPAQ 5550...but then I quietly prayed, let us win something that is useful for the babies...whatever it may be.....and we got a food processor, Al-Hamdulillah!
Those who are techies (or wannabees who at least think they are!) would surely want the iPAQ but in the end, a humble crippled staff got it to everyone's surprise cuz all was like shocked to hear the guy's name being called and it took a few seconds before an applause was given.
I cannot help myself from thinking how fair the ALMIGHTY is to us.
Although the guy may not be a techie, he can sell the iPAQ to those who wants at certain price and he will have some extra cash for his family.
Although we did not get the 29" TV, the food processor will be very useful for our babies.
Whether the guy who won the iPAQ will use it or sell it off, he's entitled to get the best of what he can from the unit. If he decided to sell it, the money can be used for other purposes. If he decided to use it, he'll learn new things everyday.
I asked my wife to give him whatever software that we have for the iPAQ if he decided to keep it and I ask my wife to also tell the guy that if he decided to sell it off, it should be Rm2,000 minimum. I could not bear the feeling that he will be cheated off the iPAQ.
I realized, its not about lamenting what you could not have, but about making full use of what you have in hand and it makes me wonder, why are we always seems to not having enough of anything.
