This morning, I went for an appointment to see a doctor. When they were doing the registration, I saw on the desk, government help for citizens. So I took the brochure, to see if I am eligible for the subsidy.<\/p>\n
I found out, that they define the lower – middle income person by calculating the total household income, divided by the number of family members staying together.<\/p>\n
So, although at first glance, I won’t qualify for the subsidy because my monthly income is higher than the one stated. But after dividing that with number of our family members, suddenly, I become the middle income person…qualify for the subsidy.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
And to my horror, next year when our 2nd daughter came, I would be close to lower income person, by that definition! I felt sad. I wished I could have earn more. The well seems taller or I sank deeper into lower class person.<\/p>\n
Till, suddenly, I remember these words:<\/p>\n
No doubt about it: children are a gift<\/em> from the\u00a0Lord;<\/strong> \u00a0And I realized how foolish I were to listen to those definitions. Following that definition, children are burdens. For the more children I have, my personal monthly income gets smaller. And i get lower and lower in the rank of people needing help from government.<\/p>\n Compared with God’s view, that children are a gift \/ blessings. How far they’re different. A gift and a burden. One is to be received with joy and gratitude, the other is to be shunned and avoided.<\/p>\n I don’t need a proof. The Word of the Lord is the truth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This morning, I went for an appointment to see a doctor.
