cold & warm
something interesting happened yesterday.
we usually have this short time during service
whereby we will greet people sitting around us
with a handshake and a smile,
and sometimes use suggested greetings by our witty pastor.
yesterday, this old lady shook my hand
(with both her hands) and then commented,
"you have very cold hands, but you have a warm heart."
and she smiled at me.
i didn't really catch what she said at first,
then i turned around and asked gim,
who was laughing by now, what did the old lady say.
i then smiled back at the old lady,
feeling a little warmer under the blasting air-con.
quite an unusual thing to hear yea?
we both thought she was quite cute and nice.
i mean, usually when people shake my cold hands,
they'd just go, "wah~! your hands very cold!"
and then maybe try to let go quickly as though
in fear that i would freeze them or something if they held on any longer.
somehow the old lady's words just kept playing through my mind,
and i ask myself, "is it true? or is my heart actually as cold as my hands?"
how long has it been since...?
