Heyyy.i ♥ today because i get to help out at the church office typing all the sermons and i think i typed out around 6 sermons! & then other people send me some of theirs, and i think it's gonna be so fruitful for me. At least i can read them and learn something. So cool!
Spent time with ma this morning too, she sent me to Tower 3 and then saw Emily there! 'Worked' with Qimin and 4 other girls including Emily and Jasmin. Really had lots of fun there and i learned how to take out my lap top battery thanks to them! :D
I read this story in one of the sermons and i was like really woah by it. Like in our lives, i believe there are many situations like this, 'thinking that we're always right' and when we look back, we feel like, omg, now then i realise i'm in the wrong but you cannot do anything about it.
Read this story! :D
The Cookie Thief
A woman was waiting at an airport one night,
With several long hours before her flight.
She hunted for a book in the airport shop,
Bought a bag of cookies and found a place to drop.
She was engrossed in her book, but happened to see,
That the man beside her, as bold as could be,
Grabbed a cookie or two from the bag between,
Which she tried to ignore, to avoid a scene.
She read, munched cookies, and watched the clock,
As the gutsy “cookie thief” diminished her stock,
She was getting more and more irritated as the minutes ticked by,
Thinking, “If i wasn’t so nice, I’d blacken his eye!”
With each cookie she took, he took one too.
When only one was left, she wondered what he’d do.
With a smile on his face and a nervous laugh,
He took the last cookie and broke it in half.
He offered her half , as he ate the other.
She snatched it from him and thought, “Oh brother,
This guy has some nerve, and he’s also rude,
Why, he didn’t even show any gratitude!”
She had never known when she has been so galled,
And sighed with relief when her flight was called,
She gathered her belongings and headed for the gate,
Refusing to look back at the “thieving ingrate.”
She boarded the plane and sank in her seat,
Then she sought her book, which was almost complete.
As she reached in her baggage, she gasped with surprise:
There was her bag of cookies in front of her eyes!
“If mine are here,” she moaned with despair,
“Then the others were his and he tried to share!”
Too late to apologize, she realized with grief,
That she was the rude one, the ingrate, the thief!
I know some of you might have read or heard this story before, did this story tell you anything?
Okay, just felt that this story kind of inspired me a little, i was like scolding the guy at the first part too, but when i read the later part, i was kind of hitted by it, like you know, "bu zhi qing hong zao bai" then scold people and feel bad. At the end, all we can do is just look back have regrets, but what can that help? Remember Lot's wife, she looked back and turn into a pile of salt.
LOOK FORWARD. GO FORWARD AND UPWARDS (omg, SHSS school song)
Woah, I like staying in church's office! Can't wait for next week where im going back to type more sermons! Went to boonkeng to find ma and then fetched jasmin home and then home. So im home now, "yi qie wan mei" show was really good too.
If you love somone, you will accept all that person's inperfection.
or another quote,
If you love someone, you will find that person perfect.
& i was listening to the song yst that touched me on my 1st cgm with W459, and i looked back on this road, i gained some things, i lost some things. But like what i read in one of the sermons, if only we look on the positive side of life, everything will seem better and you're be happier. So i'm not gonna to give up on anything now, because i don't want to end up losing more things when i could gain more things that might be much better than what i lost.
Take me deeper,
Deeper in Love with you,
Jesus hold me close in your embrace.
