Mom and Dad had plans to bring the whole family out for a Day Trip today, and they were really hoping me to join the entire family. As their son, of course I told them I had responsibilities in church every weekend, but how could you deny your parents' expectations and spoil a family time?
So assuming the lack of response by my church members, I had to make a quick decision to call off the meeting (Since I was the PIC of the day), and decide to go out with my parents, I did the above picture. Afterwards, below are the comments I received from fellow church members.
To be honest, I really deserved to be nag by them, perhaps a good disciplinary lecture by my pastor as well. I would want to take their advice seriously but the two person starting from the second row are not people who were fond with what I'm doing or with me personally, more or less they're not regular youth attendees.
Indeed, I was wrong, but if I weren't there for my parents today. Their car broke down due to faulty car coolant counterparts, the temperature rise to the max in the car thermometer and You can literally smell burnt engine. I could imagine a different image of what I experienced today, mom and dad including my siblings won't be having their big brother irritating voice and his clumsy help to at least be the miracle for the day.
Imagining as well if I weren't there, I would panicked and worried on my family, stuck in church feeling helpless, while I was lecturing when God seem to be unfair. Below is my prepared topic for today's youth Devotion:
While I was dwelling in my emotions, even I can't explain what had happened today, but I would say that I was glad I was a blessing through God for my family. I had an adventure and I love it, and I could spend that time with my family today. I was there to maneuver a broken car! :D
Forgive me. I was clumsy, I don't know how many times I would stop being that, because that's me, but you can trust me to do what is right.
