In today's Gospel where Jesus tells us that if we do not hate our father and mother, our wife and children, our brothers and sisters, and even our own life, we cannot be his disciple. Of course we do not take it literally. The passage from Luke 14:26 simply reminds us that we should place God as first priority in our life. We find ourselves too "busy" with our lives that we have forgotten about Him. Busy with work, generating wealth, social commitments, surfing the internet, reading gossips and newspapers but have no time for the bible or prayer. I took some time to think through and indeed, I have also neglected Him most of the time. I will have to put in more effort to pray daily and also devote some time to read the Bible. You will be surprised by the lessons you could learn about life from it.
I enjoyed my day by spending a great afternoon with my family over a good meal at Jack's Place. My brother and I ordered the Jack's Place Special Steak with a delicious bowl of Shitake mushroom soup. The steak and the soup cost about $29. (Argh... didn't take pictures). Thanks to my grandaunt who gave us this treat! Ended the evening with another great meal with my wife and friends at Astons specialties at The Cathay. I had the Chargrilled Salmon Fillet. For $12.90, it is really worth it. After dinner, we sat down at Starbucks and I sipped my 'long time no drink', Caffè mocha. Satisfied. Resting early and getting ready for work tomorrow.
