Well, i thought it&#8217;s a work related, but i still couldn&#8217;t figure out anyone to give me something.<\/p>\n<p>Then i opened the envelope, to be more puzzled as it&#8217;s a parenting book.

She exchanged a lot of books, and then saw this book and thought to give it to me as a gift&#8230;:)<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\nI cannot thank God enough for such wonderful arrangement. On Fri, i brought a lot of books to Library to get 1-1 exchange. Yet they rejected most my books, and accepted only 1 book. So on Sat morning, i thought just give the book away. The cost for me to go there and queue for just 1 book is just too much. Never i realized, God arranged J to do 1-1 book exchange and found this wonderful book&#8230;:)<\/p>\n<p>So here I am, holding the precious book&#8230;.furthermore, J admitted to me how she loved book. And so the 1-1 exchange in giving out her book for this book for me, is a wonderful gift.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you Lord \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This morning, i saw a packet on my desk.
