Jacob Cell Group 在圣诞

Dear brothers and sisters,
 
I am really proud of Jacob Cell Group's excellent performance in last night's Christmas celebration. We pray that the Christmas skit "爱在圣诞" we played, will bring out the real meaning of Christmas. You guys are an exception actors and actresses!!!
 
Also special thanks to Doreen for last minutes script writing to replace the heated argument between the husband and wife. (For those who miss the play, please find the story below...)
 
We will not have regular Friday meeting on this coming Friday, instead, we will have a hot pot dinner at our home on the Christmas Day. Please come and join us. In this time of the year, this is really our "Family Get Together" time to sharing our love and caring in this loving small family of Christ.
 
You are invited to our home on the Christmas Day for the dinner! Please come at 5pm, and the dinner will start at 6pm. Doreen will also prepare a special dessert for the night. If you have anything you wish to eat, this is the only day you can actually make your request... Open-mouthed smile emoticon.
 
Love in Christ,
Jianguang (Kian)
 
p/s:
 
Full scritps can be found in below link. Unexpectedly in the finaly week, we found out in the last minute that some of our scripts are more or less the same as the Luke CG as we got it from the same source. Doreen volunteered to write a new script to avoid the conflict ...see below...(Doreen transformed the real life to a play...)  With the extraordinary acting skill from Robert and Maggie, they successfully transformed the play back to real life... and really gave the audience of sense of similarity in their lives... (that was crucial in the play so that we can bring out the message that everyone of us actually needs Jesus in our lives.)
 
 
 

夫:哎,这两个孩子太烦了。。有了礼物还不高兴。。真不像样。。

妻:他们还小嘛。。过了就没事了。。明天再给他们买过。。

夫:你看,你看,就是你把他们给惯坏的。。再这样下去,他们越来越不像话,我可不理。。

妻:你还敢说,你什么时候理过他们。。。每天还不是我一个人来照顾这个家。。还要给你们做饭,收拾房子,还得看着小孩的功课。。你知道我有多辛苦吗?

夫:你这是什么意思,难道我就不辛苦吗?每天工作已经很累,回来还要听你唠唠叨叨的,我也很累呢。。

妻:你累什么累,回来就做在客厅看电视,吃完饭也不帮忙,跟孩子也没聊几句,就只会上网和睡觉。。

夫:老婆,你这样说就不对了,你老公我要赚钱养家,比你还要辛苦呢,每天上班,东西多得都做不完,还得看老板脸色。。烦都烦死了。。回到家就求你饶了我,让我好好休息吧。。

妻:那我呢,我就不用休息,是吧。。你就可以回来做你的大老爷。。我就继续的当黄脸婆,太不公平了。。不跟你说了,气死我了,每次都是这样。。   哦,还有明天是boxing day,你一早就把我送到bayshore,我要给儿子再买个电子词典,免得他们俩还会再抢。。顺便看看有什么便宜的东西可以买。。

夫:什么,你还要去逛街,还要买。。。你知不知道钱不好赚呀,现在经济那么差,你就不会为家里省点钱吗,整天就只会花钱。。

妻:你说我不会省钱,你知不知道家里的东西,我都是减价的时候才买的。。。那像你,动不动就花大钱买大电视,新电脑。。是谁爱花钱啊。。还敢说我。。真气人。。我不理你啦。。。(生气,转身背着丈夫)

 

對基督徒非常有幫助的29條建議

1.下次如果覺得自己了不起時,試試行在水上。

2.當魔鬼提起你的過去時,請提醒牠的未來。

3.你不是幸運,是蒙福。

4.若想要真正活著,得先徹底死去。

5.機會也許只敲一次門,但試探卻總是在按門鈴。

6.我們常在強壯時,忘了神。

7.那些只在星期天呼喚"天父"的人,在一星期餘下的日子�活得像孤兒。

8.不要以自我為中心,要以基督為中心。

9.沒有基督,沒有平安;認識基督,得到平安。

(No Christ, no peace; know Christ, know peace)

10.為什麼我們不常向朋友提起神?因為我們不常向神提起我們的朋友。

11.當把你的一切獻給基督,因為祂把祂的一切都給了你。

22.能夠滿足人心的,是造人心的那一位。

23.請常常保持著你心�的光,因為你不知道,誰會藉著這光走出黑暗。

24.當我們只顧工作的時候,我們獨自工作;當我們祈禱的時候,神工作。

25.神無所不在,所以我們可以隨處禱告。

26.一個沒有需要的人永遠見不到神跡。

27.敬拜提醒我們生命的價值,但世界卻使我們忘記它。

28.步履艱難的時候,別一味的禱告,卻不邁向神要你走的路。

29.禱告會為我們作很多事,憂慮同樣可以。

Jesus is Better than Santa

Jesus is Better than Santa

Santa lives at the North Pole.
JESUS is everywhere.
Santa rides in a sleigh
JESUS rides on the wind and walks on the water.
Santa comes but once a year
JESUS is an ever present help.
Santa fills your stockings with goodies
JESUS supplies all your needs.
Santa comes down your chimney uninvited
JESUS stands at your door and knocks.. and then enters your heart.
You have to stand in line to see Santa
JESUS is as close as the mention of His name.
Santa lets you sit on his lap
JESUS lets you rest in His arms.
Santa doesn't know your name, all he can say is "Hi little boy or girl,
What's your name?"
JESUS knew our name before we did. Not only does He know our name, He knows
our address too. He knows our history and future and He even knows how many
hairs are on our heads.
Santa has a belly like a bowl full of jelly
JESUS has a heart full of love.
All Santa can offer is HO HO HO
JESUS offers health, help and hope.
Santa says "You better not cry"
JESUS says "Cast all your cares on me for I care for you.
Santa's little helpers make toys
JESUS makes new life, mends wounded hearts, repairs broken homes and builds
mansions.
Santa may make you chuckle but
JESUS gives you joy that is your strength.
While Santa puts gifts under your tree
JESUS became our gift and died on the tree.
It's obvious there is really no comparison.
We need to remember WHO Christmas is all about.
We need to put Christ back in Christmas.
Jesus is still the reason for the season.


May the Lord Bless and Watch over you and your loved ones this Christmas
2008
And may He prosper and bless the work of your hands in the New Year. 2009

树上有十只鸟,开枪打死一只,还剩几只?"

某日,老师在课堂上想看看一学生智商有没有问题,问他
"树上有十只鸟,开枪打死一只,还剩几只?"
他反问"是无声手枪或别的无声的枪吗?"
"不是。"
"枪声有多大?"
"80-100分贝。"
"那就是说会震的耳朵疼?"
"是。"
"在这个城市里打鸟犯不犯法?"
"不犯。"
"您确定那只鸟真的被打死啦?"
"确定。"偶已经不耐烦了"拜托,你告诉我还剩几只就行了,OK"
"OK,树上的鸟里有没有聋子?"
"没有。"
"有没有关在笼子里的?"
"没有。"
"边上还有没有其他的树,树上还有没有其他鸟?"
"没有。"
"有没有残疾的或饿的飞不动的鸟?"
"没有。"
"算不算怀孕肚子里的小鸟?"
"不算。"
"打鸟的人眼有没有花?保证是十只?"
"没有花,就十只。"
偶已经满脑门是汗,且下课铃响,
但他继续问"有没有傻的不怕死的?"
"都怕死。"
"会不会一枪打死两只?"
"不会。
"所有的鸟都可以自由活动吗?"
"完全可以。"
"如果您的回答没有骗人,"学生满怀信心的说,"打死的鸟要是挂在树上没掉下来,那么就剩一只,如果掉下来,就一只不剩。"老师当即晕倒!
