Do all the good you can ...

I and my wife was visiting a friend in Tan Tock Seng hospital, Singapore. We were about to leave when we had an Aha! moment .... lo and behold a group of young volunteers came in and offer to sing a few songs to bring cheer to the patients. 

It was already about 8.05pm, visiting hours is supposed to be over and yet this group of good Samaritans choose to spend their last few hours of the day to bring cheer and joy to the depressed and sick. 


It brings to mind this quote by John Wesley:

“Do all the good you can,

By all the means you can,

In all the ways you can,

In all the places you can,

At all the times you can,

To all the people you can,

As long as ever you can.”

I am very inspired by the simple acts of this group of young people; they could have stayed at home and play computer games, twittering, watching TV or out for a drink to enjoy themselves. Yet, they choose to do something simple but very meaningful to brighten the day of the patients before they retire to rest. Significant acts like this need not be expensive, do not need a lot of imagination, nor a lot of hard labour. It its about having a loving heart and a giving spirit. Little acts of kindness goes a long way.


May God bless them richly for being so kind and giving.
