handphone

I thought I lost my handphone at JB airport but it was a false alarm. However, I actually lost

my handphone and discovered it 2 hours later while back in PJ the next day.

The drawback in this loss was that I lost so many handphone numbers. The old way of

recording telephone numbers onto a book should be practised, I learn that now.


I am nobody important but I felt as if I am "contacless" without a handphone. I have not

developed the "sms" syndrome so my fingers did not feel itchy...but there was this

restlessness that I dont have my "security blanket" with me.


On reflection, I am so glad that God always knows my contact number and does not ask me to leave a message when I do call on Him. And that I am

able to call upon Him any time , anywhere. What a glorious thought,huh?


Ps 145v 18 " The Lord is near to all who call on Him, to all who call on Him in truth"

faithfull

I was very happy and pleased with my son over his UPSR results. Some , if not most people,

might think I am a too-easy- to -please parent. Son only managed one A, for english, naturally.

I really praise God for son's result, given that he did what he could , with minimum effort.


What about God? I am so thankful that He is also pleased with me when I serve Him faithfully

with "what" I have been given by Him...and most importantly, not comparing myself with another.




Reminding myself to use my "one" talent faithfully as in

Matthew 25v23 "... you have been faithfull in a few things.."

pressure

This year, I tried making mooncakes, the "ping pei' variety. My hairdresser gave me the

recipe and assured me that making it was a breeze.

I enlisted my good friend to help me. When pressing the dough, I was reminded to press

hard so that the mooncake would have a clear design on it. Initially, I did not press hard

enough.


hrough this, God is reminding me of the pressures of life that we undergo . The harder the

pressure, the more we would be like Him at the end of it. This is provided that we

go through it by abiding in Him and following His ways. A good attitude is necessary too. Any

grumbling and moaning may mean having to wander around the "desert"for a longer period

like the israelites of old. But be rest assured, 1 Corinthians 10v 13 says..." And God is faithful.


He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear.."


Reflection: Thanking God for the pressure that we are facing now because they

mould us to be more like Him.

But then God...

Ever felt that it is just too much...you can't go on...it is too hard... the

pressure is too great....how you wish you don't have to face the circumstance..how

you wish you had not taken that step....how you wish that person is not there to

irritate you....

BUT then God....

reminds you He does not leave you or forsake you..

He has the perfect plan for your life( which includes the imperfect

people in your life now)


His grace is sufficient for you..

His mercies are new every morning

He is your Help and Deliverer (Ps 70v5)


So, I say to my soul,

Don't fret...

but


R ..... righteous life

E ...... exalt God

S .....steadfast spirit

T ......thankful spirit

in God
