Gem among us.


The richness and depth of an individual's personality is commonly neglected by many, but is noticed easily by those who value virtues.

There is a lady who continues to work, as a street cleaner, at the age of 68. She claims she enjoys the task that keeps the street clean every day for other citizens convenience. A simple and down to earth ambition. But what makes her great is: She has been saving all her years of monthly meager salary, and regularly donated to pay for those children whom she has never met, but who cannot effort to have education at higher level of institution. And her home is only furnished with worn wooden chair and made shift desk made from wood pieces she collected from the thrown away.

These people are the gems of our society.

" With all lowliness and meekness, with long suffering, forbearing one another in love;"
Ephesians 4:2

"Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. 17 But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? 18 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth."
1 John 3: 16-18
