A Couple of Delightful Americnas

The news usually brought "bad news", and I always hear people saying that America is going down the drain. In spite of the pessimistic atmosphere, a couple guys delighted my day yesterday.

I had a major deadline yesterday, and I had to delicate and rely on my co-workers to finish up the work. Daniel was exceptional. He stayed late the night before the deadline, and finished up the work with quality. The great part was not only the work, because many architects and drafts-persons do stay late to meet deadlines, which shouldn't be so special. When I know how the company compensate him, I think he has produced a lot. When I saw his work attitude, I thank God for America's future.

This same evening, I went to Awana. There is an 8-year-old boy, Mark, who made a great impression. First he knows the Bible, meaning had good memories of the Bible verses. Second, he is very humble and fun. In the group counseling time, the teacher asked what knowledge and wisdom was. He answered, "Knowledge was something that you can learn from a book, but wisdom is not something you can find in a book." Very wise. When I looked at him, I thank God for America's future.

The country is not going down the drain. There are still a lot of people who love the Lord, and a lot of people who contribute in great ways. There are challenging times, yet, I still believe that God bless America for those who love him in this country.
