The Christmas
holidays bring out the generous sides of all of us.
Yesterday, December
25 afternoon, while I was on my way to Camp Aguinaldo for a X’mas day run with
my fellow 83neans, I chanced upon a random act of generosity. At the corner of
Santolan Road and White Plains Road, there was a Toyota Hilux Pick Up (with
plate no. NSO 771) that stopped and the passenger at the back started giving
out something to the street children traipsing in the area. Upon closer scrutiny, I saw that the lady at
the back was giving out Php 20 bills. At first, there were a few of these kids
getting the unexpected X’mas treat. But
soon enough, a long line of beggars and bystanders has formed and still the Php
20 bills keep on coming out the Santa Hilux.
You could see the glee in the faces of the lucky street recipients.
Truly, a
wondrous scene for this holiday season.
A scene that is inspiring me to
incorporate more the “pay it forward”
aspect in our running this coming 2013. Moving
forward we shall.
Maligayang at
Makulay na Pasko.
Mapagtakbong at
Mapagbigay na Bagong Taon.
