Thanks for being so honest about yo...Dear Elaine.. Thanks for being so honest about your childhood and what CNY means to you. Well your dear cousin here have no problems with CNY, my parents were doing well and I even have $200 angpows back in 1980 as a sec 1 student. My classmates visited and my dad gave $10 dollars angpows. I would say i never struggle with money.. but when my dad was struck with stroke.. finance became an issue and there was one cny which i refuse to go visiting bec my brother borrowed from our relatives and went missing..I think everyone will go thru cycles of good and bad times and what is important is that we treasure what we have in the present. We each have our cross to bear and it comes in many forms..I too feel the same way about the elite at times, but really we should treasure moth and rust cannot destroy and store up for ourselves treasures in heaven, when moth and rust do not destroy Matthew 6:19<br /><br />It is great that you have a heart for the less privileged.. continue to guide Joshua to share his resources with the less fortunate ones.<br /><br />It is my delight to shop for Joshua.:-) Stop feeling bad about not shopping for him.. your effort to give him the best nutrition has far reaching effects than new clothes for him!<br /><br />My regret.. this is the first year i am giving angpows and i forgot to prepare one for Joshua..<br />I am sure there would be opportunities to give one to him in person..<br /><br />Hugs<br />Cathappycathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05700995360852697353noreply@blogger.com
