11/28-12/2 Devo Two
This video is the second devotional for the week of November 28
through December 2. This viral video, created by Thai phone company True Move H, opens with a
pharmacy owner shouting at a boy who has just been caught stealing
medicine for his sick mother. The owner of a nearby café intervenes,
pays for the stolen medicine, and gives the boy some vegetable soup to
take with him. The story then jumps ahead 30 years, when the café owner
collapses, is hospitalized, and remains unconscious as his daughter
agonizes over how to pay his $25,000 bill. She falls asleep in her
father's hospital room, and when she awakens, she sees a note saying,
"All expenses paid 30 years ago with three packs of painkillers and a
bag of veggie soup." As luck would have it, the boy whom her father
helped 30 years earlier became the doctor who treated him. The video
ends with the statement: "Giving is the best communication."

This is one of my favorite videos and I have not seen it for quite awhile. It is a great reminder that it may take a long time, 30 years for this family, to see kindness and compassion turn into fruit. This is a good reminder to love and give without expectation. In the end, our reward is in heaven.
ReplyDeleteI've seen this before and it's a very well made video. While reality may not resolve itself quite as neatly as this video does, it does make a solid point that you reap what you sow. This man went to great efforts to show compassion and generosity to his community when others did not want to, and I believe that God will bless that and provide when you are in need.
