A remarkable act of love

How should i start.....not good at blogging.

Was in Kopitiam (Ipoh parade) with Helen, Shannon, Ian and Ben.
Eating and chatting when Ben received a call from Ah Seong.
"I'm at Kopitiam now.
My wife ....she's also here with me....anything? You in church ...." Said Ben curiously.

Ah Seong and wife came to kopitiam .....saw us ....." Bad news ", he spoke solemnly.
"Esther just passed away in New Zealand tis morning (msia time)" he continued.

Took me by surprised .... Ah Seong went to speak to the priest wandering what they
can do for his late sister-in-law as they are unable to attend the funeral. ( they saw our car in church ....so called Ben)

So thoughtful of him and family members here.....so touched by their gesture ....especially they are non-Catholics.

Esther, a Catholic so they wandered the church can advise. So offering her a mass in church was suggested to him.

This coming Sunday his family members will come and attend the 8.00am mass .....
for Esther's soul......isn't that beautiful. They went all the way to church to enquire......i'm speechless ....what a remarkable act of love.

That morning, I saw Mary and Issac .....I presume she was not notified too.At kopitiam, Ian tried to call Issac ...no answer. Shannon had Ivan number .....I called him.....must have given him a surprise (using Shannon phone and I was the one speaking to him) and also gave him a shock regarding the news before asking him for his mother's hand phone number). Then Soo San called and informed Mary about the sad news.

I was told she had recovered from cancer prior to settling in NZ. She was admitted to hospital for pneumonia and didnt recover.(must have been hard for her to leave her boys and husband....vice versa).

Sweet bye and bye to you Esther.......may you find eternal joy in the presence of the Lord.

FindingGod –3 minute Retreats

Living a moral life

James 3:5
In the same way the tongue is a small member yet it has great pretensions.
Consider how a small fire can set a huge forest ablaze.

The phrase “harmless gossip” is an oxymoron.
Words have power.
In this passage from the epistle of James,
he warns of the destructive power of words.
One title of Jesus is the Word of God.
Our commitment to Christ commits us
to truth in word and action.

In order to live a moral live
We are to refrain from gossip, slander and detraction.
Our tongues are committed to the truth, justice,
and mercy of God, who gave them to us.

Am I tempted to criticize others rather than affirm them? .........

What help I need from God to positively affirm others? ............

God of truth, mercy, and justice, let my words and actions
reflect my devotion to you.

Amen.

Be Still
“He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still.” – Psalm 107:29

A man nervously paced the floor of his office. He needed an answer from God, time was running out, and he was becoming desperate. A deadline was upon him. He had prayed for the answer, yet he still did not have a clue as to what the answer would be. “Lord, you know exactly what I need. You have never failed me, and I know you won’t fail me now,” he cried out.
Finally he became silent in his weariness.
In his quietness, the answer finally came: “Be still, and know that I am God” (Psalm 46:10). He realized that in all his worry and crying out to God, he had failed to do what was necessary—be still. He was crying out so loudly and so persistently that he could not hear the voice of God speaking to him, giving him the solution to his dilemma. Hurriedly, he ran to his desk and began to do the research for his project as God showed him what to look for. He began typing, and the words came faster than he could move his fingers. When the project was presented, the very words of that verse became life: God was exalted and received the glory.

Many times, we can be like this man. We get so worried and consumed with the situation at hand that our conversation with the Lord becomes one sided. We cry out so loudly that we cannot hear the loving God who answers us before we call, and while we are yet speaking, will hear us (Isaiah 65:24). God wants to speak peace to our souls. He knows our every concern and already has the perfect solution, but He patiently waits for us to be still so we can hear Him.

It is difficult to be still in the midst of trouble, but God will calm the storms so the waves subside around us. When we are still and listen to Him, God gives the wisdom we are seeking. It may not be what we are expecting, but it will be exactly what we need. He has the solution to our every problem. He only asks that we be still.

The Health Science Institute (HSI) has issued a public warning advising girls and women to avoid being vaccinated with the Cervical Cancer vaccine called Gardasil. According to Jenny Thompson at HSI, 11,916 adverse events after injection have already been reported to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) … and counting. Those adverse events include:

Pain and swelling. Life-threatening muscle weakness.

Blood clots in the heart and lungs.

The deaths of 32 innocent girls and young women.

The health threats listed above have all been linked with Gardasil, the so-called "cervical cancer vaccine" says Thompson.

Merck, the pharmaceutical giant that manufactures Gardasil is aggressively marketing the vaccine as a way for parents and young women to protect themselves from Cervical Cancer and thus saves lives.

HSI's Jenny Thompson has released a 7 minute video in which she exposes the deception put forth in the marketing of this vaccine and reveals some truly shocking information no one else is talking about

No intention of catching tis kitty kat.......Ben was actually drying the cage to rid off the rat's scent that was left behind by the rat that was caught a few days before.
Sori cat.....if u weren't greedy you won't be in it......not meant for you.
i walked near to snap a photo ......gosh! It was fierce.....it snarled.
Then Ben opened the cage to released it.......and it immediately bolted.

Ian actually requested we keep it as a pet......dun think kitty kat wants to stay....hahaha......bad experience for kitty.
