以弗所书 6:6-7

不要只在眼前事奉、像是讨人喜欢的、要像基督的仆人、从心里遵行神的旨意．甘心事奉、好像服事主、不像服事人。

The Wisdom In Hot Chocolate.

A group of graduates, well established in their careers, were discussing their lives at a class reunion.  They decided to go visit their old university professor, now retired, who was always an inspiration to them.

 

During their visit, the conversation turned to complaints about stress in their work, lives and relationships.

 

Offering his guests hot chocolate, the professor went into the kitchen and returned with a large pot of hot chocolate and an assortment of cups.  Some cups were porcelain, glass, crystal, some plain looking, some expensive, some exquisite.

 

He invited each to help themselves to the hot chocolate. When they all had a cup of hot chocolate in hand, the professor shared his thoughts.

 

"Notice that all the nice looking, expensive cups were taken, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones."

 

"While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress."

 

"The cup that you are drinking from adds nothing to the quality of the hot chocolate. In most cases it is just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink."

 

"What each of you really wanted was hot chocolate.  You did not want the cup . . . but you consciously went for the best cups."

 

"And soon, you began to eye one another's cups."

 

"Now friends, please consider this . . .

 

 "Life is the hot chocolate . . . your job, money and position in society are the cups."

 

"They are just tools to hold and contain life."

 

"The cup you have does not define, nor does it change, the quality of life you are living."

 

"Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the hot chocolate God has provided us."

 

Always remember this . . . . . . . . . . God brews the hot chocolate, He does not choose the cup.

 

The happiest people don't have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything that they have!!

 

Live simply . . . Love generously . . . Care deeply . . . Speak kindly . . .

 

Leave the rest to God. ~ and  remember ~ The richest person is not the one who has the most, but the one who needs the least. Enjoy your hot chocolate!!

Baby seats are no place for sleeping

http://www.cbc.ca/canada/montreal/story/2009/02/04/mtl-carseat-sleeping-0204.html

 

Parents should not leave young infants sleeping in car seats for long periods of time, said a Quebec coroner who looked into the death of a two-month-old boy who suffocated when his mom placed him a car seat after a restless night.

 

The recommendation comes two years after Montreal researchers warned very young babies are vulnerable to sudden infant death syndrome if they spend too much time in a seated position.

 

'The head of the baby is heavier than the body. The neck muscle is not straight enough to let the neck rise. So, it falls.'

Relationship between poor sleep and a poorly-functioning immune system

Full article:  http://www.cbc.ca/health/story/2009/01/12/cold.html

 

People who suffer interrupted sleep, have trouble nodding off or who snooze less than seven hours a night are at greater risk of colds, suggests a U.S. study.

While the relationship between poor sleep and a poorly-functioning immune system is well-documented, the study is the first evidence that even minor sleep disturbances can influence the body's reaction to cold viruses.

A multi-university study of 153 healthy volunteers showed that participants who slept fewer than seven hours a night were nearly three times as likely to get a cold than those who averaged eight or more hours of sleep.

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... .

 

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.)

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。。

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！

Are you currently a Virgin Mobile Customer?:    true

I have 3 friends already switched to Petro Canada phone because of this. I love to see Virgin Mobile being competitive, and I want to see this happen!   Come on, Richard Branson, give me 90 days for $25 prepaid. You can do it!  Make us happy !

Richard Branson, say with me:  "Yes, we can.  Yes, we can. Yes, we can. ..."

（上）可以睡在床上不是很值得感激的事情？（下）他情願再也不用醒。
你還在抱怨嗎？

觀察你週遭的一切，並感謝所有你在短暫生命裡所能擁有的…

我們真的太幸運，因為我們擁有的比所需要的還要多！當我們無窮無止盡的還想要更多更多時，請不要忘記除了在這現代而先進社會的我們之外，地球上還有三分之二的其他弟兄姐妹們.


就讓我們減少抱怨，而是提供更多的給予付出與關懷，那就夠了。

世界是否美好，就在你我，只要問自己是否付出關懷與給予，其實，上帝會回饋給你的更多更多。

Just do it, my dear friend!
就去做吧，我親愛的朋友！
