Moral Lesson 1

I find 5 moral lesson in this funny stories. I received from a friend. Hope you will find the lesson too. Here is lesson 1:

LESSON 1

A junior manager, a senior manager and their boss are on their way to a meeting. On their way through a park, they come across a wonder lamp. They rub the lamp and a ghost appears. The ghost says, "Normally, one is granted three wishes but as you are three, I will allow one wish each."

So the eager senior manager shouted, "I want the first wish. I want to be in the Bahamas, on a fast boat and have no worries." Puff... And he was gone. Now the junior manager could not keep quiet and shouted, " I want to be in Florida with beautiful girls, plenty of food and cocktails." Puff... And he was also gone. The boss calmly said, " I want these two idiots back in the office after lunch at 12:55 pm."

Moral of the story:
"ALWAYS ALLOW THE BOSS TO SPEAK FIRST"

My Health

I was sick for the last 3 weeks with a simple disease (so ashamed!!!). I have a cold and cough since early October. I should see doctor sooner - when I still sick more than 6 days. But my stubbornness leads me to my condition now. Can you imagine? 3 weeks of a cold and cough!!!

I do careless about my health - have to admit it. Instead staying away from water, I played around in water for more than 6 hours. Instead of going to the doctor, I went out till midnight. This is my punishment! I've already went to see doctor and take medicine for 3 days. There is no progress in my health. I still have a cold and cough even worse than before. I’m thinking maybe the doctor gave me wrong medicine. Hhmmm….

Hope I can get better before Sunday because I have to help my choir team in a wedding mass. So, please help me… God!

Philippians 4:4-9 (NIV)

This passages inspire me to be a better person. It teach me not to be worry and how to stay positive while the whole world is negative. It also teach me how to gain peace from God. So each time I feel or need to be positive, I'll read this passage below:

Philippians 4: 4-9 (NIV)

4Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

8Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. 9Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.

May the LORD keep you and bless you!

Take a Bow

Yesterday, I looked on a blog and noticed the word "Take a Bow". It reminds me of a song that sang by Madonna. I loved this song, although it's a sad song but the lyric is beautiful. Here is the lyric....

TAKE A BOW
By Madonna

Take a bow, the night is over
This masquerade is getting older
Light are low, the curtains down
There's no one here
[There's no one here, there's no one in the crowd]
Say your lines but do you feel them
Do you mean what you say when there's no one around [no one around]
Watching you, watching me, one lonely star
[One lonely star you don't know who you are]

Chorus:

I've always been in love with you [always with you]
I guess you've always known it's true [you know it's true]
You took my love for granted, why oh why
The show is over, say good-bye

Say good-bye [bye bye], say good-bye

Make them laugh, it comes so easy
When you get to the part
Where you're breaking my heart [breaking my heart]
Hide behind your smile, all the world loves a clown
[Just make 'em smile the whole world loves a clown]
Wish you well, I cannot stay
You deserve an award for the role that you played [role that you played]
No more masquerade, you're one lonely star
[One lonely star and you don't know who you are]

(chorus, repeat)

Say good-bye [bye bye], say good-bye

All the world is a stage [world is a stage]
And everyone has their part [has their part]
But how was I to know which way the story'd go
How was I to know you'd break
[You'd break, you'd break, you'd break]
You'd break my heart

I've always been in love with you
[I've always been in love with you]
Guess you've always known
You took my love for granted, why oh why
The show is over, say good-bye

(chorus)

Say good-bye [bye bye], say good-bye
Say good-bye

Faithful

On this month, many experience lead me to think about faithfulness. First, it came from my silent morning time. All the topics were related to how great is His (God) faithfulness. Second, came from a song. Remember a song called All of These? Third, came from my friends who always be there for me.

At this moment, I like to talk about faithfulness of God. One said, "Life is not always fair, but God is always faithful." I found so many things that I called unfair. But I believe that God is faithful. Here is the way I look... In a game, there will be a winner and there will be a loser. Both team prepare for the competition and maybe pray the same thing (to win the game). But there's only 1 winner. Is God unfair? No, for me... He is fair.

Faith is holding up of the faithfulness of God, as long as we do that... we can't go wrong.Faith doesn't look at itself or the person who is exercise it.

Faith looks at God. Faith is interested in God only. Faith is allowing your soul to go beyond what your eyes can see. For we walk by faith not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7)
