Yes! Skating... No! Skating

I have never been on ice until today.
Keith Bodner took me to skate for the first time in my life. It was quite an experience. I am the type of guys who find it difficult to balance with my feet and I don't know how to cycle until the age of 17. Thanks to the boxing week sale, I bought a pair of RBK skates. I bought it only because it was on sale of less than half its regular price. I was so proactive that I even bought my helmets.
I watch quite a few of leafs game when I am in Toronto, but I have never owned any pairs of ice skates and it is not until two days ago that someone told me I need to sharpen the skates.
It is a wonderful experience for me to get on ice and I manage only to slip once. I am not the happiest on ice though, but the kids are. I can see them flying on their little skates and enjoying the time with their families.
Falling on ice is painful, but strangely, the more painful it is, and the more joy you can get out of it. Not just skating, but for virtually every experience in life. It is not easy to devote time and energy studying, it is painful to listen and learn, but once you succeed and all the hard work pays off, you rejoice! Isn't that the beauty of life?
Salvation is gift from God and is free, but the journey to be holy needs hard works and most of time, painful. Concentrate and be focus, and at the end, we can rejoice when we see the Lord. Are we kind and faithful servants?
