Read this bible phrases that was posted up in thedailybibleverse.org in FB this morning and it reminds me of my first love towards this verse that motivates me to do volunteering works in Beautiful Gate;)

"Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom. Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven that will not be exhausted, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." - Luke 12:32-34

Indeed it is blessed to be able to really sell all our possession to help those in need but only a few (could count with my fingers) could sell everything and devote their life for the needies=) and i really "kow tow" for their great works. looking at their life and mine, it spurs me on=)

i think i will save my treasure in heaven little by little and day by day, unless i hit the jackpot then i could store more;) Gambate to those who are out there servicing the needies;)

Be Contented In Your Life =)

Have you ever, at any one time, had the feeling that life is bad, real bad, and you wish you were in another situation? You find life make things difficult for you, work sucks, life sucks, everything seems to go wrong....
Read the following story... it may change your views about life:

After a conversation with one of my friends, he told me despite taking 2 jobs, he brings back barely above 1K per month, he is happy as he is. I wonder how he can be as happy as he is considering he has to skimp his life with the low pay to support a pair of old parents, in-laws, a wife, 2 daughters and the many bills of a household.

He explained that it was through one incident that he saw in India that happened a few years ago when he was really feeling low and touring India after a major setback.He said that right in front of his very eyes he saw an Indian mother chop off her child's right hand with a chopper. The helplessness in the mother's eyes, the scream of pain from the innocent 4-year-old child haunted him until today.

You may ask why did the mother do so; had the child been naughty, had the child's hand been infected?? No, it was done for two simple words- - -TO BEG!
The desperate mother deliberately caused the child to be handicapped so that the child could go out to the streets to beg. Taken aback by the scene, he dropped a piece of bread he was eating half-way. And almost instantly, a flock 5 or 6 children swamped towards this small piece of bread which was covered with sand, robbing bits from one another.
The natural reaction of hunger.
Stricken by the happenings, he instructed his guide to drive him to the nearest bakery. He arrived at two bakeries and bought every single loaf of bread he found in the bakeries. The owner was dumbfounded but willingly sold everything. He spent less than $100 to obtain about 400 loaves of bread (this is less than $0.25 per loaf) and spent another $100 to get daily necessities.
Off he went in the truck full of bread into the streets. As he distributed the bread and necessities to the children (mostly handicapped) and a few adults, he received cheers and bows from these unfortunate. For the first time in his life he wondered how people can give up their dignity for a
loaf of bread which cost less than $0.25.

He began to tell himself how fortunate he is. How fortunate he is to be able to have a complete body, have a job! , have a family, have the chance to complain what food is nice and what isn't nice, have the chance to be clothed, have the many things that these people in front of him are deprived of...
Now I begin to think and feel it, too! Was my life really that bad?
Perhaps... no, I should not feel bad at all... What about you?
Maybe the next time you think you are, think about the child who lost one hand to beg on the streets.

"Contentment is not the fulfillment of what you want, it is the realization of how much you already have."

When the door of happiness closes, another opens, but often times we look so long at the closed door that we don't see the one which has been opened for us. It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that! we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives.

The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way. The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past,you can't go on well in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.

Wish to thank those people who have touched my life in one point of my life, to those who make me smile when i badly needed it, to those that make me see the brighter side of things when i were really down, to those knows that i appreciate our friendship....

Salamat Po (means thanks in Tagalog, Philippines language)

Wish to store this here, the scribbles of my sis's grateful thoughts:->

Time is like a river, you cannot touch the same water twice, because the flow that has passed will never pass again... Enjoy every moment of life....

No matter what happened, we must enjoy our life to the max, looks at d day positively and happily, cuz no matter how hard it will be or when will it be, it will be fruitful one day. Follow what your hearts wants. Make sure u wont regret.

If letting go is the solution, then we shall let it go.... past is always past, and it wont be the future...
If giving chance is the solution, then give it a try... giving it a chance means giving yourself a chance as well.
If chances given but not fruitful... then letting go might be the best option to make... But make sure last chance was given, to determine when will b the day to let go and make sure dont look back.

Though we might look happy, but deep down inside us r not... but at least, we try to be happy... and face the fact of life....

Letting our tears to wash our face is a way to release but can the tears in our heart being wipe off from our life...

Everyday when we start our day, we can choose either dreaming or wake up.... happy or sad... interesting or dull???

We r d 1 who hold the choices....
Y do u want to makes ur life so 'grey'????
Wake up.... Makes your life as interesting as possible.... as happy as possible...
Never let something/someone become the priority of your life!!!

Still
Words and Music by Reuben Morgan



Hide me now
Under your wings
Cover me
within your mighty hand

When the oceans rise and thunders roar
I will soar with you above the storm
Father you are king over the flood
I will be still and know you are God

Find rest my soul
In Christ alone
Know his power
In quietness and trust

Ripples of Kindness

Do a deed of simple kindness,
Though its end you may not see;
It may reach, like widening ripples,
Down a long eternity.

HISTEAM - Holistic Integrated Services Bhd.

Went to a HISTEAM Social Concern Rally 2009 workshop on 12 Sept 2009, a wonderful saturday afternoon... thanks to my sis in christ that somehow brought me there ;)
Was attracted to become a volunteer for all this wonderful works... but still feeling not equipped enough and couldnt afford the time to do so now...

1st speaker: Datin Rose Chen Jayasooria
Title: Voluntary simplicity and giving

Some points to remember and ponder upon...
1) God is the owner and we are the stewards
2) speaking of material blessings, we should know the way we spend, save, spare and share (4S)
3) We are Blessed to bless - "it is more blessed to give then to receive"
4) I personally have to learn on 'how to manage on less'
5) Have to distinguish between "needs and wants" as well as "necessities and luxuries"
6) For simplicity -> 4R - Reduce, Reuse, Restore and Recycle (reminds me of the 3R
7) 2nd hand shop could worth a visit sometimes ;) for eg. beautiful gate, bethany home, good will shop, red crescentm salvation army, st.mary thrift shop, jumble station, cheshire home, lovely disabled home and redeem sales.

Some points to remember and ponder upon...
1) Gal 6:10

4) Residential care - the needy; eg orphan, disabled etc
5) rehab service - eg drug addicts
6) day care services - eg. children with learning difficulties
7) community service - outreach to local neighbourhood
8) tuition and edu center - to educate young ppl
9) computer based activities - eg. computer classes
