written for my daddy and mommy

I read an article from a newspaper,
entitled “和爸爸牵手”

While I read through this article
my memory started to flash back
I seemed to see myself in the story

Years ago, while I was still a little girl
I used to hold my dad's little finger
Wherever I go, as long as my dad is there,
I will surely hold his little finger

And now, I no longer do the same
As time flies, things changed as well
Through the years
my dad has been trying his best to earn money
for he is the sole breadwinner of the family

He sacrifices himself
by staying far away from us
not able to see us so often
not able to go through life together
just to make sure we have shelter, food and education

I still remember very clearly
there's one night
my dad was to travel back to Singapore
and I see my mom crying
I wondered why
but now I understood

Not only my dad has to sacrifice
my mom did the same
not having a husband by her side
no one to share with when she feels down
how hard it will be
to take care of the family
to be the father and mother at the same time

Dearest dad and mom,
I will never forget what both of you have done for us
how you gave your best for us
and the best ever gift is to bring us to Jesus
and our lives will not be the same anymore

Daddy and mommy,
Wish both of you joyful always
Wish both of you a blessed life
an abundant life
Love you daddy and mommy.

The story of Love and Friend

One day, Love and Friend went out together for a walk.
Suddenly, Love fell into a deep river.
Why?
Because Love is blind.


Then Friend quickly jumped to save Love.
Why?
Because good Friend will always be there for us;
whenever, wherever and whatever we need.


Friend could not find Love.
Why?
Because Love is too gentle, easy to lost when we did not take care of it.


Finally Friend gave up and left Love there.
Why?
Because Friend will leave and ignore us if we do not know how to appreciate them.

I received this story through phone message. I love the story but not the ending.
What is your opinion?

Faith

What is faith?
Faith is to believe in what is unseen.


It is not easy to have faith, especially when human being nowadays are more towards logical thinking. And we usually will ask for proof.


Through a weekly prayer meeting,
God again speak to me regarding my faith.


It has been months that I am struggling with one thing.
And till now, it seems to have no progress at all.
It has been challenging to continue to trust that it will turn out to be good.
I have even enter the situation where the feeling of anxiety and worry is just norm.
I do not really feel that I am actually worrying.
But, I am indeed worrying.


That is a dangerous thing for me.
As a Chinese saying, "knowing your wrong then you can change."
If I do not conscious of it, then I will not see it as a problem.
The fact is that God does not want us to be worry.


Few months ago, God said to me that He will provide all my needs.
Again, it is ALL my needs.
Not just one or two, but is ALL.
Recently, I have just forgotten of this promise from Him.
God reminded me again.


During the prayer meeting, God strengthen my faith.
I seems to have the victory, and
I just sensed that the promise is already in my hand.
I am not seeing myself at this moment,
but seeing myself in the future,
with the eyes of faith.
I saw that I am not bounded by those worries that I used to have and am having,
but I have the victory and joy with me.
Praise God.
It is another reminder,
that God is good~


Phil 4:6
Do not be anxious about anything,
but in everything,
by prayer and petition,
with thanksgiving,
present your requests to God.

An interesting conversation

Received this from a friend through an email. It's really interesting...


An Atheist Professor of Philosophy was speaking to his Class on the Problem Science has With GOD, the ALMIGHTY. He asked one of his New Christian Students to stand and . . .

Professor : You are a Christian, aren't you, son ?
Student : Yes, sir.
Professor : So, you Believe in GOD ?
Student : Absolutely, sir.
Professor : Is GOD Good?
Student : Sure.
Professor : Is GOD ALL - POWERFUL?
Student : Yes.
Professor : My Brother died of Cancer even though he Prayed to GOD to Heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But GOD didn't. How
is this GOD good then? Hmm?

(Student was silent )

Professor : You can't answer, can you ? Let's start again, Young Fella. Is GOD Good?
Student : Yes.
Professor : Is Satan good ?
Student : No.
Professor : Where does Satan come from ?
Student : From . . . GOD . . .
Professor : That's right. Tell me son, is there evil in this World?
Student : Yes.
Professor : Evil is everywhere, isn't it ? And GOD did make everything. Correct?
Student : Yes.
Professor : So who created evil ?

(Student did not answer)

Professor : Is there Sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness?

All these terrible things exist in the World, don't they?
Student : Yes, sir.
Professor : So, who Created them ?

(Student had no answer)

Professor : Science says you have 5 Senses you use to Identify and Observe the World around you. Tell me, son . . . Have you ever Seen GOD?
Student : No, sir.
Professor : Tell us if you have ever Heard your GOD?
Student : No, sir.
Professor : Have you ever Felt your GOD , Tasted your GOD , Smelt your GOD ? Have you ever had any Sensory Perception of GOD for that matter?
Student : No, sir. I'm afraid I haven't.
Professor : Yet you still Believe in HIM?
Student : Yes.
Professor : According to Empirical, Testable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says your GOD doesn't exist. What do you say to that, son?
Student : Nothing. I only have my Faith.
Professor : Yes, Faith. And that is the Problem Science has.

Student : Professor, is there such a thing as Heat?
Professor : Yes.
Student : And is there such a thing as Cold?
Professor : Yes.
Student : No, sir.. There isn't...

(The Lecture Theater became very quiet with this turn of events )

Student : Sir, you can have Lots of Heat, even More Heat, Superheat, Mega Heat, White Heat, a Little Heat or No Heat.

But we don't have anything called Cold. We can hit 458 Degrees below Zero which is No Heat, but we can't go any further after that.
There is no such thing as Cold. Cold is only a Word we use to describe the Absence of Heat. We cannot Measure Cold.
Heat is Energy. Cold is Not the Opposite of Heat, sir, just the Absence of it.

(There was Pin-Drop Silence in the Lecture Theater)

Student : What about Darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as Darkness?
Professor : Yes. What is Night if there isn't Darkness?
Student : You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is the Absence of Something You can have Low Light, Normal Light, Bright Light, Flashing Light . . .

But if you have No Light constantly, you have nothing and its called Darkness, isn't it?
In reality, Darkness isn't. If it is, you would be able to make Darkness Darker, wouldn't you?
Professor : So what is the point you are making, Young Man ?
Student : Sir, my point is your Philosophical Premise is flawed.
Professor : Flawed ? Can you explain how?
Student : Sir, you are working on the Premise of Duality. You argue there is Life and then there is Death, a Good GOD and a Bad GOD.
You are viewing the Concept of GOD as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, Science can't even explain a Thought.
It uses Electricity and Magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one.
To view Death as the Opposite of Life is to be ignorant of the fact that Death cannot exist as a Substantive Thing.
Death is Not the Opposite of Life: just the Absence of it.
Now tell me, Professor, do you teach your Students that they evolved from a Monkey?
Professor : If you are referring to the Natural Evolutionary Process, yes, of course, I do.
Student : Have you ever observed Evolution with your own eyes, sir?

(The Professor shook his head with a Smile, beginning to realize where the Argument was going )

Student : Since no one has ever observed the Process of Evolution at work and Cannot even prove that this Process is an On-Going Endeavor.
Are you not teaching your Opinion, sir? Are you not a Scientist but a Preacher?

(The Class was in Uproar )

Student : Is there anyone in the Class who has ever seen the Professor's Brain?

(The Class broke out into Laughter )

Student : Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor's Brain, Felt it, touched or Smelt it? . . .
No one appears to have done so. So, according to the Established Rules of Empirical, Stable, Demonstrable Protocol,
Science says that You have No Brain, sir. With all due respect sir, how do we then Trust your Lectures, sir?

(The Room was Silent. The Professor stared at the Student, his face unfathomable)

Professor : I guess you'll have to take them on Faith, son.
Student : That is it sir . . . Exactly ! The Link between Man & GOD is FAITH. That is all that Keeps Things Alive and Moving.


NB:

I believe you have enjoyed the Conversation... and if so …
You'll probably want your Friends / Colleagues to enjoy the same...won't you?
Forward them to Increase their Knowledge...or FAITH.
That student was Albert Einstein.

Mosquito

I am that kind of person that "loved" by mosquito. Most of the time, I will be the only one bitten by mosquito, whereas others will give me respond like, "Huh? Is there mosquito?" Argh...

It's nothing good being "loved" by those mosquito, that made me itchy here and there. Even in a very short while, those mosquito will be able to feed themselves to full. And I will be left alone with those mosquito bites and itchiness.

One fine morning, while I wanted to log in to my mail, my eyes are attracted to one article, named "Mosquito bites: The real reason some people are immune." And as I was always the victim, I quickly click on the article and read through.

Though, I did not find something that seems beneficial to me. I still left confused on how to prevent from being bitten by mosquito. I really hate being the victim of those mosquito, even in the afternoon time. Somehow, I have no idea on what I could do.

And on the same day, I did some cooking. Miraculously, there is not even a mosquito targeting at me. Kitchen has been the best place as the habitat of those mosquito. But on that day, though I spent few hours in the kitchen, no mosquito has bitten me.

As I realized that, I know that it's not coincident. God is good and He did it. My single heart desire, He knows it well enough. It's a simple thing, but He cares for my everything.

All praises to Him, who worth it all. God is good all the time, and all the time God is good~
