Joyful Parents

Longing each family is experiencing harmony, happiness and joy. But unfortunately, many Christian families who do not experience this. Precisely the situation inside is the opposite of what is expected. Which is in many households is an argument, there is no sense of peace and not feel joy. And have the joy is the key to gain strength for each family.

Joy (joy) is an important element that should be owned in the family. The joy is contagious, so if parents are able to create an atmosphere of joy, the family atmosphere will be filled by joy. Children will see and imitate what their parents do. When their parents easily sulk in the face of problems in life, then children will follow in the footsteps of his parents. But if parents provide role models that they continue to rejoice even more trouble after another, then this will be transmitted to the children so that the spirit of joy that would their own.

Why should we rejoice? That's why the Lord's command in Philippians 4:4, rejoice always. If we fully believe in God, then we will dare to face the struggle to live without fear, worries that would eliminate the joy. Hold firmly the Word of God, then we will increasingly believe that the IA had a 1001 solution to the problem of our family.

Be the agent of joy! That's what we often teach our children, Rachel and Jacob. Wherever course we are, we always try to create an atmosphere of joy, we must try to always be grateful even for the tests in life. In the family altar, we pray for our struggle so that kids know and understand. Then after praying, we smiled and said, "Well ... we just wait the hands of God to help us." We teach them to believe in God, because He is God who cares, God is protecting. When we do this, then embedded in their lives that the problem may come but their parents still rejoice because they believe in God, so it is transferred on both. When they deal with small problems, they remain grateful and rejoice.

Family harmony can be owned by each person. Start with a personal full of a joyful person. Husband and wife are full of joy will mentransferkan the matter to other family members, then slowly persungutan gray clouds in the household will be eliminated by the sunshine of joy.

Dear God

Well, I don't really know what I wanna tell You right now. It's kind of dilema for me. Honestly, I thank You for I've lived my life in happiness so far. But the biggest problems in man's life haven't got answers in mine.

Since You created me, I've realized that You put a 'will' inside me. This 'thing' has lifted my feet up on walking the sreets, opened my eyes in staring strange stuffs, reacted my lungs on breathing the air. This crazy 'thing' even has brought me somewhere I haven't even realized yet. Now I find myself sinked deeply in this 'thing' I'm used to thanking You.

As a matter of fact, I need Your help, as I always do. Really need a big one this time. Everyone in my life told me that You know better what i do need than I do myself. I consider this is true as You are my Creator. I believe it as I believe You own my whole life for sure.

Today's the biggest fight and the greatest struggle I've ever made in my life. Crawling and kneeing, I come begging Your help. I'm knocking Your door. You know what I wannna ask. You know what I ask You 'to do' for me. Give me if I'm deserved to accept. Strengthen me if I'm not. That's all I wanna tell You.

Well, God ... You bring me here.

Whatever happens You're the one who gets the glory.

Whatever happens I will praise You in every way possible.

Amen.

Living More 'n More Wonderful Life

To Give makes us Richer
To Smile makes us more More Beautiful
To Bless makes us Happier
To Pray makes us More in Peace
To Be Near To God makes our life More Perfect

Many people say that life is not easy to live in. So why do we add to the burden in our thoughts and feelings which make life uncomfortable. Let us create a beautiful life by giving more and always be closed to God!

The principle of 'giving better than receiving' was very influential in my life. Who is able to give?
Yes ... indeed the rich are able to give.
But do not wait to be rich to give yours!
Let us give, then this makes us, at least to feel, become richer than we are actually. 
By giving, then we believe that we are already rich even richer.


Try to give your smile to someone else, then he will reward back. Giving is also evidence of our love for one another. Well this is clearly what makes us happy and make life beautiful.


Besides the principle of 'give', then our closeness with God, among others, by praying and reading the Bible, will make us always thank God so that we become full of peace and joy. 
Closeness with God brings us be better human beings. His commandments and His love that wonderful feeling. All these things make our livesbecome more perfect, isn't it?

Generosity

Mahatma Gandhi went from city to city, village to village collecting funds for the Charkha Sangh. During one of his tours he addressed a meeting in Orissa. 

After his speech a poor old woman got up. She was bent with age, her hair was grey and her clothes were in tatters. The volunteers tried to stop her, but she fought her way to the place where Gandhi was sitting. 

"I must see him," she insisted and going up to Gandhi touched his feet. 

Then from the folds of her sari she brought out a copper coin and placed it at his feet. Gandhi picked up the copper coin and put it away carefully. 

The Charkha Sangh funds were under the charge of Jamnalal Bajaj. He asked Gandhi for the coin but Gandhi refused. 

"I keep cheques worth thousands of rupees for the Charkha Sangh," Jamnalal Bajaj said laughingly "yet you won't trust me with a copper coin." 

"This copper coin is worth much more than those thousands," Gandhi said. 

"If a man has several lakhs and he gives away a thousand or two, it doesn't mean much. But this coin was perhaps all that the poor woman possessed. She gave me all she had. That was very generous of her. What a great sacrifice she made. That is why I value this copper coin more than a crore of rupees."

Walking in Obedience

Dreamworks team in Hollywood has found a new star. The new star was announced as "the Prince of Egyp ', but we've known for a long time as Moses. The story is filled with drama, action and conflict, and has become the subject of more than one film. But in essence, it is a very basic story of one man who learned to follow, believe and obey God.

Moses began his life with a rocky road. He was nearly killed at birth, but adopted into the family household of Pharaoh. He grew up a prince of Egypt, but he is really the son of a Hebrew slave. She lives in two worlds until he forty years, then decided to members more time for friends compatriots ... but who instead became a boomerang. Moses good intentions - but Moses tried to do what he believed to be the work of God in its own way. Does this sound familiar your ears? He killed an Egyptian who was beating a Hebrew, and then his body was buried by sand. He thought no one was looking, but the incident was revealed. Maybe he did not dig deep enough, and the desert wind was blowing so hard that may be the victim of his toes sticking out of the sand soon!

When we try to bury our sins in our own way, it will never succeed. Sin will keep coming back. We're finally going to continue to lie, continue to deceive, if we want to cover our sins.Then, afraid to expose ourselves before others. When sin comes into your life then the fear will quickly follow. A man once said to me, "I never felt dicekat fear, paralyzed by fear, until I started having an affair. Later on I lived in terror and fear that my wife will find out the secret."

When Moses struck and killed the Egyptian, he saw to the east and west ... but he did not look up. He worried about what people could see, but do not remember that the eyes of God saw.Faced with sin and rejected by his people, he did the only thing he knew, he fled. Until finally Moses met with God in the wilderness, where he was ready to believe, obey and follow God, that's when he began to be used by God to change people.

Keep this in mind, if we are not ready to believe, obey and follow God, we are not ready to be used by God, no matter how great our good intentions!

Why should I teach English?

Teaching language, basically, needs more than just patient. It further requires ability of managing self-characters, which is the other part of psychological improvement. That's the reason why i should be proud of being a teacher.

Indonesian students, especially those who speak English rarely, mostly argued that English is the hardest subject to learn. I think i understand their difficulties which could strongly be influenced by some English grammar aspects that wouldn't be found in their mother tongue. For this i truly agree to the term 'difficult'. 'I can still breathe though i don't speak English', some students said. 'We're proud enough with our native language,' the others argued. 

Often, when i teach English to the students in class, they react as if i were a stranger who came from an unknown planet talking about something they would never understood. On the other time, i feel like teaching how to write a scientific journal to the illiterate people. It just looks like i give them something they don't even need. Then why should i keep teaching? Such question takes my breath and keeps running on my blood everytime.
