time for a much delayed post
.
about a month or 2 ago i was in sydney on business, but thats not what i want to share..
on one of the nights we (myself and the team i went with) went for dinner at a japanse restaurant, i dont remember the name of the area.
at the restaurant i couldnt help but eavsdrop and see across from me, a table for 2, father and son. i was so sad, and at the same time greatful to God the He had kept my family in unity that i was never in that boys position.
it was a very awkward dinner that they have, very quiet, the father was stressed out, but putting on a face to 'man-up' in front of his son, im not sure if the son picked up on it.
the father occasionally attempted to make conversation, the boy would've been about 14 years old.
i noticed that what they were eating was the cheapest dish on the menu at a very overpriced restaurant. once they finished their food, the the man kinda looked at his son, close to tears, and kinda trying to hide his disturbed look, he took out his wallet, shaking, he gave his son $20. from where i was sitting- i could see that that was all he had and with a trembling voice he said 'here you go son, i guess i'll see you again in 2 weeks, hopefully i can get you some more money before then, look after yourself.'
from the way i was dressed i couldn't build up the courage to go up to them and share Christ with them. but i wish i had. i never saw either of them again.
