what makes a christian a christian?

Lunch time for me was real beh syok.

Today the canteen in my working place served ice-cream for dessert. The staffs there were so 'smart' that they display it out, not in an ice box or fridge. So it was melting. The ice-creams are packed in hard little paper covered plastic containers so it's easy to be served.

The first thing when i collected my lunch and sat down was to open the ice-cream container and see how much it melted. It was melting fast and getting very soft, so i rushed back to the counter to get some ice to cover the container lar, at least can make it tahan a little longer.

So a stuff...yes! stuff again! She hor, like a little tak syok me. i tried to reason with her that i need those few cubes of ice to save my dessert. But she sort of scolded me, saying 'aiskrim ini sejuk sampai keras. Tak payah ais.' Then she sort of challenged me, 'Kalau aiskrim dah cair, you datang tukar.' Oh please, i've already taken a bite lar. Really feel like taking the ice-cream and throw on her face and say 'inilah keras!'. Or just simply make noise and embarass her. i didn't.

I returned to my place to finish my food. All i could think was that i don't want to finish the food and try my level best to say it that their food really sucks.

But then, something strucked me. Suddenly i remembered that i am supposed to be salt and light to my working place. Immediately i became like a good boy, though the anger is still in me. My thought switched. No point making so much trouble just over the meal. So i told myself to just finish the food on my plate and cabut back up to continue working.

Then i finished them, put the whole tray on a designated place, went back up.

Well, what makes a christian, a Christian? A Christian loves and forgives 77 times, or more. A Christian loves his/her enemies, does good to those who hate him/her, blesses those curse him/her and prays for those who mistreat them. Thank God that HE taught me this lesson even i was 'enjoying' something that throws my stomach upside down.
