There was this tableau competition in college and I was the professor who got beaten up by his students and died, so had to look like a man, and so had to remove my gold earing. Now after the competetion, came back and was putting my ear ring- a very small one. I’m into simple jewellery ( those who have ears, let them hear… a lil tip for those who might wanna buy me something..hehe..) . If the ear ring is small, still smaller is its screw.. and when I was putting it on, the screw slipped from my hands… and it was nowhere to be seen…. I tried combing my hair to check if it was somewhere in that jungle… I jumped around the place to check if something would fall down from my dress… I swept the room to check if it was on the floor.. But nope! It was nowhere to be found!! My friends were irritating me too… Well, they were just tring to comfort me I guess, saying it wouldn’t cost much if I had to buy a screw again!! But I didnt want to buy them again. I wanted the one that was lost. It was my first ear ring… the one my grandma had gifted me with… and the only one gold earing that I like to wear… And most importantly, I dont loose things! Im supposed to be very responsible with my things… and I’ve never lost gold… Friends did search around a lil.. but I didn’t think they were helpful enough! They were busy dressing up for the skit that was in an hours time.. and asked me to get to the same and search later… That made me even more upset… but I respond to anger with silence.. So played in the skit and sang in the group song and everything.. Checked and rechecked the class… Couldnot find the screw. Went back home.. Didn’t want to go back to college ever again! Didn’t want to meet my mom … Didn’t want to wear any jewellery ever again! But then had to participate for another competition the next day… So went to college and after the competition, on my way back to the class, I looked into my bag,… and then I looked at my friend Resh and started cring…. She looked stunned wondering what happened! I explained something to her… but she didn’t understand what I was saying.. coz cring and speaking together doesnt always work! I walked to her and hugged her to try to stop cring! But hugs make me cry even more…. So I moved aside… They looked at my face and got even more confused… coz my lips looked like I was smiling… but tears were running down my cheek… After a few awkward seconds I calmed down… and explained ” I got the screw of the gold ear ring back!! It was in my bag all this while!!” 
The girls laughed all over and well, I dunno about other women, and I never thought I would say this… But I guess woman are hard to understand after all! Cry with joy and dont cry when expected to??!!Hmmm… Lolz…
The reason behind me putting up this post is not to play the fool again (which by the way is a role I usually take up very often!) but coz I got a very valuable word from my Savior- Jesus dat day! When I had lost that small piece of gold, I had searched around the whole place… and was so concerned… It wouldnot have cost me much… may be Rs.200/- coz it was just a small screw! And yet I was so concerned for it! And I searched so much for it! But it cost Jesus His life to offer salvation to the world! How much more would Jesus want His lost people back to Himself… How much would His heart grieve for the lost souls… and how much he would rejoice at a single soul that is saved! When I had lost my ear ring, I expected my friends to understand my heart and search for the ring more seriously than get occupied with a skit!! They are wonderful people and very close friends… but at that moment, their priority was the skit, and mine was the ring! So often we christian, who say we are saved and we want Jesus more than anything else, get our priorities on the lil things of the world… my exam… my family… my headache… my pin… my… my… my…. And we forget the heart of Jesus which is grieving for the lost!!! Let us try and understand Him better and put our focus on eternity!
Peace!
