For if we have all the money and time and energy, we would probably never learn the lesson of sharing. Everything would become so easy and cheap. But with the limitation, we learnt what is precious, and about sharing what we like.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you God that in your great wisdom, sometimes withholding what may not be the best for us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We had a dinner at a Japanese restaurant.
