LOVE IN MANDARIN

爱的感觉，总是在一开始觉得很甜蜜，
总觉得多一个人陪、多一个人帮你分担，
你终於不再孤单了，至少有一个人想著你、恋著你，
不论做什么事情，只要能一起，就是好的，
但是慢慢的，随著彼此的认识愈深，
你开始发现了对方的缺点，
於是问题一个接著一个发生，
你开始烦、累，甚至想要逃避，
有人说爱情就像在捡石头，
总想捡到一个适合自己的，
但是你又如何知道什么时候能够捡到呢？
她适合你，那你又适合她吗?
其实，爱情就像磨石子一样，
或许刚捡到的时候，你不是那么的满意，
但是记住人是有弹性的，
很多事情是可以改变的，
只要你有心、有勇气，
与其到处去捡未知的石头，
还不如好好的将自己已经拥有的石头磨亮磨，你开始磨了吗？
很多人以为是因为感情淡了，
所以人才会变得懒惰。
错！其实是人先被惰性征服，
所以感情才会变淡的。

在某个聚餐的场合, 有人提议多吃点虾子对身体好， 这时候有个中年男人忽然说「十年前，当我老婆还是我的女朋友的时候，她说要吃十只虾，我就剥二十只给她！ 现在，如果她要我帮她剥虾壳，开玩笑！我连帮她脱衣服都没兴趣了，还剥虾壳咧！

听到了吗？明白了吗？
难怪越来越多人只想要谈一辈子的恋爱，却迟迟不肯走入婚姻。
因为，婚姻容易让人变得懒惰。
如果每个人都
懒得讲话、
懒得倾听、
懒得制造惊喜、
懒得温柔体贴，
那么夫妻或是情人之间，
又怎么会不渐行渐远渐无声呢？
所以请记住：
有活力的爱情，
是需要适度殷勤灌溉的，
谈恋爱，更是不可以偷懒的喔！

有一对情侣，相约下班後去用餐、逛街，可是女孩因为公司会议而延误了， 当她冒著雨赶到的时候已经迟到了30多分钟， 他的男朋友很不高兴的说： 你每次都这样，现在我甚么心情也没了， 我以後再也不会等你了！ 刹那间，女孩终於决堤崩溃了， 她心里在想：或许，他们再也没有未来了

同样的在同一个地点，另一对情侣也面临同样的处境； 女孩赶到的时候也迟到了半个钟头，他的男朋友说：我想你一定忙坏了吧！ 接著他为女孩拭去脸上的雨水，并且脱去外套盖在女孩身上， 此刻，女孩流泪了, 但是流过她脸颊的泪却是温馨的。
> >
你体会到了吗？
其实爱、恨往往只是在我们的一念之间！
> >
爱不仅要懂得宽容更要及时， 很多事可能只是在於你心境的转变罢了！
懂了吗？
当有个人爱上你，而你也觉得他不错。
那并不代表你会选择他。
我们总说：我要找一个你很爱很爱的人，才会谈恋爱。
但是当对方问你，怎样才算是很爱很爱的时候，
你可能无法回答他，因为你自己也不知道。

没错，我们总是以为，我们会找到一个自己很爱很爱的人。
可是後来，当我们猛然回首，我们才会发觉自己曾经多么天真。
假如从来没有开始，你怎么知道自己会不会很爱很爱那个人呢？
其实，很爱很爱的感觉，是要在一起经历了许多事情之後才会发现的。
或许每个人都希望能够找到自己心目中百分之百的伴侣，
但是你有没有想过在你身边会不会早已经有人默默对你付出很久了，只是你没发 觉而已呢？
所以，还是仔细看看身边的人吧！
他或许已经等你很久喽！
> >
当你爱一个人的时候，爱到八分绝对刚刚好。
所有的期待和希望都只有七八分；剩下两三分用来爱自己。
如果你还继续爱得更多，很可能会给对方沉重的压力，让彼此喘不过气来， 完全丧失了爱情的乐趣。
> >
所以请记住，
喝酒不要超过六分醉，
吃饭不要超过七分饱，
爱一个人不要超过八分
> >
那天朋友问我：到底该怎么做才算是爱一个人呢？
我笑著跟他说：其实每个人的爱情观都不一样，说对了叫开导，但就怕说错反倒变成误导。那就糟糕了！
> >
如果你也正在为爱迷惘，或许下面这段话可以给你一些启示：
爱一个人，要了解，也要开解；
要道歉，也要道谢；
要认错，也要改错；
要体贴，也要体谅；
是接受，而不是忍受；
是宽容，而不是纵容；
是支持，而不是支配；
是慰问，而不是质问；
是倾诉，而不是控诉；
是难忘，而不是遗忘；
是彼此交流，而不是凡事交代；
是为对方默默祈求，
而不是向对方诸多要求；
可以浪漫，但不要浪费；
可以随时牵手，但不要随便分手。

这封信打动了我，因为它说：'收到了这封信，是因为有人在默默的祝福你，因为你也爱你身边的一些人'。带着爱的，一切将如愿以偿。


我在默默的祝福你。*^_^*

让我们一起祝'愿天下有情人终成眷属!!!!!!!

You need to learnt from Rick Warren

Dear treasured visitors,

I received the email from my brother and I can't think of anything better than to publish in this blog, so that all visitors have a chance to read it.

Rick Warren author of the Purpose Driven Life .He said the prayer during the inaugural ceremony of Barack Obama as President of USA.

Rick Warren

You will enjoy the new insights that Rick Warren has, with his wife now having cancer and him having 'wealth' from the book sales. 'Purpose Driven Life ' author and pastor of Saddleback Church in California .

In the interview by Paul Bradshaw with Rick Warren, Rick said: People ask me, What is the purpose of life?

And I respond: In a nutshell, life is preparation for eternity. We were not made to last forever, and God wants us to be with Him.One day my heart is going to stop, and that will be the end of my body-- but not the end of me. I may live 60 to 100 years on earth, but I am going to spend trillions of years in eternity. This is the warm-up act - the dress rehearsal. God wants us to practice on earth what we will do forever in eternity.

We were made by God and for God, and until you figure that out, life isn't going to make sense.

Life is a series of problems: Either you are in one now, you're just coming out of one, or you're getting ready to go into another one.

The reason for this is that God is more interested in your character than your comfort; God is more interested in making your life holy than He is in making your life happy. We can be reasonably happy here on earth, but that's not the goal of life. The goal is to grow in character.

This past year has been the greatest year of my life but also the toughest, with my wife, Kay, getting cancer. I used to think that life was hills and valleys - you go through a dark time, then you go to the mountaintop, back and forth. I don't believe that anymore. Rather than life being hills and valleys, I believe that it's kind of like two rails on a railroad track, and at all times you have something good and something bad in your life. No matter how good things are in your life, there is always something bad that needs to be worked on.

And no matter how bad things are in your life, there is always something good you can thank God for..

You can focus on your purposes, or you can focus on your problems: If you focus on your problems, you're going into self-centeredness, which is my problem, my issues, my pain.' But one of the easiest ways to get rid of pain is to get your focus off yourself and onto God and others.

We discovered quickly that in spite of the prayers of hundreds of thousands of people, God was not going to heal Kay or make it easy for her- It has been very difficult for her, and yet God has strengthened her character, given her a ministry of helping other people, given her a testimony, drawn her closer to Him and to people.

You have to learn to deal with both the good and the bad of life.

God didn't put me on earth just to fulfill a to-do list. He's more interested in what I am than what I do. That's why we're called human beings, not human doings.

Happy moments, PRAISE GOD.
Difficult moments, SEEK GOD.
Quiet moments, WORSHIP GOD.
Painful moments, TRUST GOD.
Every moment, THANK GOD.

Trust the above is of great value to you because you can't afford not to attain ETERNAL LIFE. READ REVELATION Chapter 21, which I have shared with you in my preceding article.

God bless,

James

Smile

A friend is someone we turn to when our spirits need a lift
A friend is someone we treasure for our friendship is a gift
A friend is someone who fills our lives with beauty, joy, and grace.

And makes the world we live in a better and happier place.
There is a miracle called friendship, that dwells in the heart.
You do not know how it happens or when it gets started.
But you know the special lift it always brings.
You realize that friendship is the world's most precious gift!

Share this with all your friends, no matter how often you talk,
or how close you are.

Let old friends know you haven't forgotten them, and tell new friends
you never will.

WHY GOD MADE PETS

They help out around the house...

They protect our children...

They look out for the smaller ones...

They show us how to relax...

They 'converse' with each other.
They help you when you're down...

They are great at decorating for the Holidays.

They have 'great' expectations.

They are Patriotic.

They are happy to 'test' the water.

They love their 'teddies'

They know who's 'BOSS.

AND - They know when we need a good LAUGH!

HAVE YOU SMILED TODAY?????

It is done by moving the corners of the mouth upward.
LET ME SHOW YOU HOW.............

NOW SHARE IT WITH OTHER, AND MAKE SOMEONE ELSE SMILE!!!

New Heaven

Dear treasured visitors,

Recently I have read the book of Revelation and I write to share with you especially in regards to chapter 21.

For your easy reference, I listed several verses from Revelation 21 for your immediate attention and consideration so as you will be benefited as I do.

The good news is that the heaven is REAL and it is supreme importance not to make such unaffordable mistake, for not heading and reaching that desired destiny. Most assuredly, that there is no return for anyone to earth to undo he had done prior to judgment day.

1. Now I saw new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea.

4. "And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away."

7. "He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son.

8. "But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murders, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death."

Now, you see that God so love the world and He tried every possible mean, even sent His Son, to save us because He want you to inherit all from Him; rather than going through the second death. Choice is yours.

So, repent and be born again so that you can see the kingdom of God. Trust Him wholeheartedly and serve Him mighty since He had blessed you so much. Let Him to navigate human beings to do all things for the good of ourselves. His law is perfect and only the human beings manipulate for his hidden agenda, rather for His glory. Because of sin,inherit from Adam, that caused us to find justifications to support our deceiving acts, and blame others or act of God, instead of the doer. God can take it because of Grace. If it is truly act of God (sound familiar)and God is so bad as the way the doer see it, then he shall be send to hell instantly so as to make his remark true. Because of God grace, he still be given chance to repent. Therefore, never take advantage of His grace so as to be smart, you shall regret later. And whatever consequence is the cause of your action. You must be clear about this fundamental point.


See you online again.

James

Life's Lessons

Dear treasured visitors,

Recently I have received through email, the wonderful LIFE'S LESSONS, written By Regina Brett, 90 years old, of The Plain Dealer, Cleveland , Ohio from my good friend, Mr TG Lim, who has shown his cares and concerns on me.

Below is exactly written by this great man:-

"To celebrate growing older, I once wrote the 45 lessons life taught me. It is the most-requested column I've ever written. My odometer rolled over to 90 in August, so here is the column once more:

1. Life isn't fair, but it's still good.
2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.
3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.
4. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick.
Your friends and parents will. Stay in touch.
5. Pay off your credit cards every month.
6. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.
7. Cry with someone. It's more healing than crying alone.
8. It's OK to get angry with God. He can take it.
9. Save for retirement starting with your first paycheck.
10. When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile.
11. Make peace with your past so it won't screw up the present.
12. It's OK to let your children see you cry.
13. Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
14. If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn't be in it.
15. Everything can change in the blink of an eye. But don't worry;God never blinks.
16. Take a deep breath. It calms the mind.
17. Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful.
18. Whatever doesn't kill you really does make you stronger.
19. It's never too late to have a happy childhood. But the second one is up to you and no one else.
20. When it comes to going after what you love in life, don't take no for an answer.
21. Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie. Don't save it for a special occasion. Today is special.
22. Over prepare, then go with the flow.
23. Be eccentric now. Don't wait for old age to wear purple.
24. The most important sex organ is the brain.
25. No one is in charge of your happiness but you.
26. Frame every so-called disaster with these words ' In five years, will this matter?'
27. Always choose life.
28. Forgive everyone everything.
29. What other people think of you is none of your business.
30. Time heals almost everything. Give time time.
31. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
32. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
33. Believe in miracles.
34. God loves you because of who God is, not because of anything you did or didn't do.
35. Don't audit life. Show up and make the most of it now.
36. Growing old beats the alternative -- dying young.
37. Your children get only one childhood.
38. All that truly matters in the end is that you loved.
39. Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere.
40. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else's , we'd grab ours back..
41. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.
42. The best is yet to come.
43. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.
44. Yield.
45. Life isn't tied with a bow, but it's still a gift.

I trust the above will give you the benefits, as it did to me.

Thank again for visiting this blog,


God bless,
James Oh

Be aware

In the book of John

7:18 "He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but He who seeks his own glory; but He who seeks the glory of the One who sent Him is true, and no unrighteousness in Him,

7:19 "Did not Moses give you the law, yet none of you keeps the law? Why do you seek to kill me?"

7:24 "Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment."

Here, God is so graceful that He revealed to me that All Glory, Mercy, Grace, Holy, and other titles belongs to Him. Let us be conduit of Him and let His glory shown to the whole world, as Light. Let us be fully aware that we, at all in instances, should not claim such glory. Let His righteousness guide our hearts and souls all the times.

7:19 reminds us to honor the Heavenly Father and Son. Don't be smart, but observe the Law, given through Moses, righteously and not according to our flesh, which led Him to death, as the way we see it. He can take it through the Grace, The Father has given Him. Anyway, He is still alive, not one but more than one till to-date.

Whereas 7:24 reminded us again, never judge the book by cover - the way our carnal minds lead us consciously and unconsciously. However, be brave enough to put forward the righteous judgment so as to save soul FOR HIS GLORY.

Let we pray to Him so that we can stay connected with Him all times, so as to uphold His Law. I ray in His wonderful name, Jesus Christ. Amen.

His obedient servant,

James Oh

Do you ever wonder why John the baptism prophesied that the one who comes, after him, is much greater than him, who will baptize you with the spirit.

Here, you can see clearly that even the John Baptism also acknowledged and recognized that He is very much greater than him.

The truth reveals to me that He, who is the Lord, is alive since the day since we were created. One of the criminals, who was prosecuted on the cross, next to Him was also baptized by Him, either the day before he was born. It is because, Our Lord is with the Father. Alternatively, he was baptized by the Lord Jesus Christ, because He is already with the God at that time. Do not forget that Our Lord Jesus Christ is the one who can baptize anyone with the spirit, and not through the water either from sprinkle or sub-merge into the water as the ways we normally understand, is much greater than anyone on earth.

Similarly, it is not surprising that our Lord Jesus Christ can able to baptize anyone with the spirit even till to-date and forever because He is still alive, despite the fact that many people have seen that He already died as a man, but never forget the truth that He was resurrected by the Heavenly Father. Therefore, let us no in doubt that He is still alive and able to do so forever and ever. Trust, by now, you are convicted and convinced to this fundamental truth.

Let us be very clear on these issue, and serve Him mightily and do not debate this issue any longer and save the time from entering into unnecessary debate. Let us be born again so that we can see the kingdom of God, exactly described in John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

Let us pray to Him and ask Him to reveal even to you if you have other interpretation than the above.

See you again, let us sharpen each other so as to use the rest of our life to serve Him mightily because God has done so much for us, despite our rebellion against Him, exactly reflected in John 3:16. “For God so love the world that He gave His only and begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not be perished but have everlasting life.

His obedient servant,

James Oh

Blessing every day

May God's blessing
find you each day.

May the angels protect you
as you travel on your way.
May heaven's light shine upon you
and fill your heart with song.

May God's love heal you
and make you feel strong.

May you always look with hope
on the path that lies ahead
and may friendship journey with you
wherever you're led

May you always know the comfort
of happiness and peace,

and may your faith in yourself and God
never dwindle or cease.

Cherish Things

Cherish things while you still have them,
before they’re gone,
and you realize how precious they really are.
Life can only be understood backwards,
but it must be lived forwards.

Everything in life is temporary.
So if things are going well,
enjoy it because it won’t last forever.
And if things are going badly,
don’t worry because that won’t last forever either.

Destiny is not a matter of chance,
it is a matter of choice;
it is not a thing to be waited for,
it is a thing to be achieved.

Beginning Today

Beginning today. . .
I will no longer worry about yesterday.
It is in the past and the past will never change.
Only I can change by choosing to do so.

Beginning today. . .
I will no longer worry about tomorrow.
Tomorrow will always be there,
Waiting for me to make the most of it.
But I cannot make the most of tomorrow
Without first making the most of today.

Beginning today. . .
I will look in the mirror and I will see
A person worthy of my respect and admiration.
This capable woman looking back at me
Is someone I enjoy spending time with
And someone I would like to get to know better.

Beginning today. . .
I will cherish each moment of my life.
I value this gift bestowed upon me
In this world and I will unselfishly share
This gift with others.
I will use this gift to enhance the lives of others.

Beginning today. . .
I will take a moment to step off the beaten path
And to revel in the mysteries I encounter.
I will face challenges placed before me
With courage and determination.
I will overcome the barriers that may hinder
My quest for growth and self-improvement.

Beginning today. . .
I will take life one day at a time,
One step at a time.
Discouragement will not be allowed to taint
My positive self-image,my desire to succeed
Or my capacity to love.

Beginning today. . .
I walk with renewed faith in human kindness.
Regardless of what has gone before,
I believe there is hope
For a brighter and better future.

Beginning today. . .
I will open my mind and my heart.
I will welcome new experiences.
I will meet new people.
I will not expect perfection from myself nor anyone else,
Perfection does not exist in an imperfect world.
Rather, I will applaud the attempt
to overcome human foibles.

Beginning today. . .
I am responsible for my own happiness
And I will do things that make me happy . . .
Admire the beautiful wonders of nature;
Listen to my favorite music;
Pet a kitten or a puppy;
Soak in a bubble bath . . .
Pleasure can be found in the most simple of gestures.

Beginning today. . .
I will learn something new;
I will try something different;
I will savor all the various flavors life has to offer.
I will change what I can and the rest I will let go.
I will strive to become the best me I can possibly be.

Beginning Today…….
