Be kind, show grace

About 2 weeks ago, on my SQ flight back to Singapore from Vietnam, there were a lot of Vietnamese on the plane. I saw a fellow Singaporean woman who was visibly irritated by a Vietnamese man. Granted, they were not exactly likeble. They spoke loudly, and I could see that many seldom fly on a plane. But I was really embarrassed by how this lady belittled these Vietnamese. I was reminded by God to be humble, to be kind and to show grace. We are Singaporeans not by choice, but by God's grace. In fact, we are blessed with wealth, education and everything else because of God's grace. We truly deserved nothing. These Vietnamese have gone through so much to be where they are today. Suddenly, I felt compassion towards them. I thank God for that reminder.
