The Tampines Home seva takes
place on the 1st Sunday of every month at 11 am. The patients
there have many disabilities. Some are mentally handicapped
while others are physically handicapped.
The first time I went there last year, I felt very
disheartened upon entering the home. Seeing the condition
of the patients there just made me feel sad and also
a little afraid because some of them are not able to
communicate with us and sometimes they may hold our
hands and pull us along with them to wherever they want
to go and we will have no choice but to follow. That
was the first and last time I ever went there.
Then I started to think. These people are there for
a reason. Whatever that reason may be, we should be
grateful to God for He has not made us like that and
we should try to make these people in the homes happy
because if they are happy then God will also be happy
with us.
That is why recently, I have started going for this
seva once again. It makes me happy to see them happy.
They are always smiling and happy to see us enter the
home. They actually look forward to our visits. When
we go there, we sing for them and some of them who can
stand dance to the songs we sing.
When it is time to say goodbye once again, some of
them are sad to see us go while some will smile and
say goodbye. I will continue going for this seva just
to see the smiles on their faces.
