Willing To Tell

Look. You don't have to force me. You don't have to twist my arm. You don't have to push me to the wall. You don't have to threaten me. I'm willing to tell you what my name isn't; I'm not William Tell's son.

Think Of These Things

Phip 4:8

Finally, brothers,
whatever is true,
whatever is honorable,
whatever is just,
whatever is pure,
whatever is lovely,
whatever is commendable,
if there is any excellence,
if there is anything worthy of praise,
think about these things.

Replacing one's negative thoughts with that which is true and honorable and just and pure and, lovely and commendable...is not easy. I realise that as I go through my daily routine today...so many undesirable thoughts comes to mind.

Like for example, someone jumps the red light and a motorbike rider stops in front of that particular car just to show the driver that she is in the wrong and I was the car that they were blocking.

Like when I parked my car in a huge open car park and found that I'm one of the two cars that a courier service truck is blocking.

Like when I'm the first in line at the traffic light and the Traffic Police man nonchalantly walk out and made me wait twice or thrice the change of lights before he let me go. Then after which he just walked off.

Like a client of mine who made me drop everything to run a few rounds and then realise that he really doesn't need my service and I can't charge him...for the running around.

Three out of four of these happened to me between yesterday and today, and my devotion for today leads me to Phil 4 : 8.

I'm consciously making an effort to replace my negative feelings with Phil 4:8. It's not easy but with a conscious effort and knowing that GOD will be pleased...helps.

September Garden Version 1.1

When Richard came and stayed with us in September 2008, he helped us set up the garden. One and a half years after...the garden was in a terrible state...because I was not paying much attention to it. I was just letting it grow wild. Now. I have to pay (in another way) the price for it. I have to forged up more money to buy new plants and finally a set of grass. Let's hope this time it will get better instead of getting worst.

So this is our September Garden version 1.1

Moral of the story?...Well you go and make it up yourself please.

Time Changes Things...

Remember those times when we say "You must take time to stop and smell the roses"? Well the kids took time to smell the...Air Conditioner. Sigh !!! where have the good old days gone to?


But thank GOD someone never change.

Heb 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

You can rely on HIM then. You can rely on HIM now. You can rely on HIM in the future.

Christmas And Chinese New Year Fusion

Christmas has ended, the new year has come and before we could even get down to catching our breath, Chinese New Year has come upon us. And as you can see, we barely had time to put our Christmas tree away. So we decided to do the next best thing, take advantage of the situation (and not to mention our laziness...), we decided to hang red decorative lantern lights around our tree. We're not very innovative and creative when it comes to festive decorations, as you can see but this little incident brought to mind a little spiritual lesson...

...Christmas, a day celebrated by Christians all over, of Jesus' birth, that He became man in order that we may have life...eternal life. That we may be reconciled to God, the Father, that we may have eternal fellowship with him and live our lives for him. Christmas begins in the heart of one who believes and have committed their lives to following Jesus. Christmas is not just a one-day affair but a lifetime commitment, lived out day-by-day....just as the Christian life is not lived out on Sundays but each day.

So hanging those lantern lights weren't so wrong after all... cuz Christmas is just not for a season or a day, but the whole year through...hmmm, I wonder what we would be hanging on them next after this Chinese New Year...any suggestions?
