"As I see myself in a mirror, I see myself in you."
There is a sister who often writes letters of encouragement and comfort for the members, along with very amazingly drawn caricatures, and once, while walking, she showed me her collection of poems. In one of them, I found out that she was also her family's breadwinner, and that it's been very challenging for her too. When I read the ending, I saw that the conclusion was how Mother would be giving her a letter of encouragement and comfort, and I cried in the middle of the street.
It was so moving to find that the sister who comforts and encourages everyone, even her family, is able to do this because she receives much comfort and encouragement from the Words of Mother's love. I was comforted, too, because I'm also the breadwinner for my family, and reading the poem, I was put in her place as someone who remembers Mother's encouragement. I thank Mother for her boundless love, and also reflect on how to become someone who encourages others better in the new year.

The sister came to church earlier than everyone else one afternoon after classes, and we both giggled when we saw we were matching clothes! So we also matched food and ate lunch happily together!
