A bottle of sadness

I was looking for seats to eat with my friends,Fam and Catherine.In a corner,an auntie waved at me telling us that we can sit with her if we do not mind.
We sat.
While waiting for food,we talked.My friend,Fam asked questions.Soon,i found out she is 68 years old,working as a dishwasher in shop that sells noodles.She stays in a rented room.She has four children.He husband passed away.She did not stay with her children.
I was sad.I was like,'Where are her children?', 'How could they left her all alone in this island?' and 'Unfilial children!'.Yes,I was judging but I was just..I just couldn't understand.
But I want to do something.I don't wanna stop by just listening.I really can sensed God asking me to do something.
*pheeeewww...I really thought of crying there* as she reminded me lots of my mom.How an uneducated elders continue to be positive with their life even it is not pleasing.How they have that courage to just continue living, putting smiles and portraying kindness to people even when life fails them?
Phil. 4:13 “I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.”
P.S:My biggest joy besides knowing personal God is for my mom to be a Christian.
AND YES!!I CAN DO IT!!!!*hit my head and say..I HAVE FAITH IN GOD*..!!!!ACTION!!ACTION!!!
