To do a good thing to others..

hisashiburi desu ne...
it's been quite a long time since my last writing here.. =)



i was listening to Andrie Wongso stories just now..
one story about a granny giving a bread and milk to a strangers..
lead to a big question.. when is your last time to do a good thing to others..



hmm...
i keep on thinking..

for me.. it was last night..
met with my relative and her friends, accompanying them on their last night in Spore..
mmm was that include a good thing to others ??



well..

i didn't expect that i find it's difficult to do a good thing to others..
i think.. i need to start it more often.. even only with smile or "good morning" to others..
let's start to smile to others.. without any return expectatation

=) =)

The Zahir, a book by Paulo Coelho

I just finished read this book two days ago..

Begin with an 'usual' story way.. this book will slowly guide you a deeper way of thinking about human life which always question about Love, Happiness, and Sadness.

This is a very good book for everyone, to reflect yourself, because I believe everyone on earth is experience what's happening in the story.

For me, this is not just merely Paulo's journey, but also my journey..

I couldn't believe and never imagine that at the end I was crying.. not crying because of sadness but crying of happines..

Well it is really really a different experience to read this book.

Someday, I think I will go through it again..

I highly recommend this book to everyone !

Who am I by Mark Hall

~2009 Lenten Reflection~

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2CPOyNxA_Y

Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt?
Who am I, that the Bright and Morning Star
Would choose to light the way
For my ever wandering heart

Not because of who I am
But because of what You’ve done
Not because of what I’ve done
But because of who You are

I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I’m calling
Lord, You catch me when I’m falling
And You’ve told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours

Who am I, that the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love and watch me rise again?
Who am I, that the voice that calmed the sea
Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me?

I am Yours
Whom shall I fear?
Whom shall I fear?
‘Cause I am Yours
I am Yours

Quote of the day

“Love is patient; love is kind and envies no one. Love is never boastful, nor conceited, nor rude; never selfish, not quick to take offense. There is nothing love cannot face; there is no limit to its faith,its hope, and endurance.In a word, there are three thingsthat last forever: faith, hope, and love; but the greatest of them all is love.”

The "love" quote is really strike me today..
when I feel that I miss him but I try not to say it
when I feel that why I am the only one who miss him and
when I think that, am I not so worthed to be missed..

then I called him up..
a not so nice conversation happened when my melancholic side arise and especially when he is not right here beside me..
Luckily I still be able to not pushing myself to hard and I felt that he had pushed back himself as well.

yes..
to love is not easy..
to understand someone's you love is not easy..

but I still have faith, hope and courage...

and now I know why the greatest of faith, hope and love is LOVE

Dear Lord,
I thank thee for your Word today..
it is not easy to do it, but You gave us a great example of Love through your son Jesus..
clean and pure my heart.. so I am able to love and merely to give love
Amen..
