My mom used to tell me to remember and to appreciate the kindness others have shown me. She has mentioned this several times as much as I recalled. And this particularly applies today. I wanna write down the name of the person who has shown kindness to me that I wanna forever remember and even show my appreciation one day.. in some tangible ways.
Dr. Liu... though was a dentist and simply a uncle from church, he really expressed his benevolence through his expertise. I went to his office twice, both for my wisdom teeth. He knew I don't have insurance to cover up (school doesn't cover dentals). Both visits were probably just knowledge conversations where he told me what to do and offered his advice, but still, taking x-rays without charging me, and... free check-ups just really showed his generosity. His kindness... really just touched my heart! At that moment today, I really felt grateful and thankful... words that could never explain, a thankfulness that just poured out from the bottom of my heart. I said "thank you Dr. Liu!" He gently nodded. Again, no charge, nothing....
On the way driving home, I kept thinking what I can do in the future to express my gratitude toward his family. I seemingly have nothing much to offer (seriously, I think he's a rich man and since he is a believer, he's a wise man as well), and I don't know WHAT to give neither, but I wanna remember what he did to me, and do something about it. I wish there will be a time for me to show kindness to him just like what he have shown me today and 10/30/09 when I first visited him and was appalled at my x-ray result at the time =p
Thank you Dr. Liu! God bless you, your family and your workplace (aka ministry!)
