WHAT HAPPENS IN HEAVEN

This is one of the nicest e-mails I have seen and is so true:

I dreamt that I went to Heaven and an angel was showing me around. We walked side-by-side inside a large workroom filled with angels. My angel guide stopped in front of the first section and said, 'This is the Receiving Section. Here, all petitions to God said in prayer are received.'

I looked around in this area, and it was terribly busy with so many angels sorting out petitions written on voluminous paper sheets and scraps from people all over the world.

Then we moved on down a long corridor until we reached the second section.

The angel then said to me, 'This is the Packaging and Delivery Section. Here, the graces and blessings the people asked for are processed and delivered to the living persons who asked for them. 'I noticed again how busy it was there. There were many angels working hard at that station, since so many blessings had been requested and were being packaged for delivery to Earth.

Finally at the farthest end of the long corridor we stopped at the door of a very small station. To my great surprise, only one angel was seated there, idly doing nothing. 'This is the Acknowledgment Section,' my angel friend quietly admitted to me. He seemed embarrassed 'How is it that there is no work going on here?' I asked.

'So sad,' the angel sighed. 'After people receive the blessings that they asked for, very few send back acknowledgments. '

'How does one acknowledge God's blessings?' I asked.

'Simple,' the angel answered. Just say, 'Thank you, Lord.'

'What blessings should they acknowledge? ' I asked.

'If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep you are richer than 75% of this world. If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish, you are among the top 8% of the world's wealthy.'

'And if you get this on your own computer, you are part of the 1% in the world who has that opportunity. '

'If you woke up this morning with more health than illness ... you are more blessed than the many who will not even survive this day.'

'If you have never experienced the fear in battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation ... you ! are ahead of 700 million people in the world.'

'If you can attend a church without the fear of harassment, arrest, torture or death you are envied by, and more blessed than, three billion people in the world.'

'If your parents are still alive and still married ...you are very rare.'

'If you can hold your head up and smile, you are not the norm, you're unique to all those in doubt and despair.'

Ok, what now? How can I start?

If you can read this message, you just received a double blessing in that someone was thinking of you as very special and you are more blessed than over two billion people in the world who cannot read at all.

Have a good day, count your blessings, and if you care to, pass this along to remind everyone else how blessed we all are.

so ends another chapter of youth, marked with the sad departure of own beloved chui lin.

We wish u all the best in the upcoming years and pray that God will use you in ways beyond our imagination. We pray success upon your life and thank you for the many things that you have taught us. I can hardly imagine what we may have been able to teach you. maybe not to be annoying n tell people if we don't need transport.

Thank you for

• The patience it must have taken to put up with us in the beginning and till the end
• Bringing joy and giving us many happy memories
• Teaching us the word of God
• Teaching us that somewhere in the world, there will be someone who seems to be allergic to everything possible
• Being brave enough to steal pastor's seat juz to help shoot the sfas video(hehe. secret's out)

u shall b missed. c ya around

mandatory gb u post

SALUTATIONS! (feel abit like charlotte's web)
yes yes.. seeing as its the exam period, here's the mandatory "rally n bless u b4 the exam" post

my fav verse in bible
jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

do not stress about your exams. if u have put in the time n the effort, u will do well. after the time n the time n effort, juz trust the Lord tt he will provide u ur super high mark. even if u din do well at the start of the yr, the prophet did say today, even if u din start well at the beginning of the yr in ur exams, god will change ur condition n u will end the year with FLYING colours. tt's rite. not crawling, not walking, but flying for our god is a god of overwhelming blessings and he will take care of your needs. " seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these will be added unto u"

useful tip that ben raja once said, as god always asks for your first fruits. therefore give it to him. when u start ur exam, give him your first few minutes. pray n give that time to god n ask him to bless u

in jesus name, i pray for all that are sitting exams. i pray that all of you might get the flying colours prophesied and for those with super ugly writing, i pray that the holy spirit might grant the markers understanding, that they may be able to read all ur writings.

AMEN! now go claim tt blessing n super high mark tt is waiting 4 u! when ur in the depths studying 4 ur exam, feeling like the book juz has something against u or when u start shouting at the book, or even if u juz feel plain stupid, pray n find peace in Him. have a blessed exam period n god bless

J.T.Q.J

attitude

wad do u c? a half full glass? a half empty glass? it is true that this opinion may change depending on the seasons of life that you are going thru but i challenge u to think outside of the box. no matter wad, i say think of this glass as half full. 4 the unusally random/happy/ crazy pple like me, there r many ways to c this. ur attitude to life gives u these different lenses

you can c it as a cup which will quench ur thirst or a cup which u can fill up. lastly, u can b super crazy n say that the cup is actually full but the cup's juz too big 4 the amount of water. no matter wad, SMILE n b happy. personally 4 me, i see it as a cup that is half full but im gonna fill it. coz im juz tt awesome.. either tt or it was a full cup... n i was being nice n generous n i gave it to someone else 4 a sip... tt someone tricked me n took a big gulp instead...

always say the glass is full coz the bit wif air is FILLED BY THE LIVING WATER OF GOD!! WOO HOO!! n u tot this din have anything christiany in it huh! to u i say, happy belated april fools! :)

verse of the day

Jeremiah 29:11 (New International Version)

¹¹ For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

No matter where you are in life, no matter what your circumstances may be, always know remember this verse.

When u think there's no where else to turn, know that our mighty God is there with you and that he has a plan for you for you are his child and he will never forsake you. He has many plans to prosper you and he will never harm you. He will never put you through something which u cannot survive. So when you're going through a rough patch, know that this has happened according to his orders and forever praise him, even if you do not feel like it.

Someday, you will look back and be awed by his planning and mercy, his mercy which carried you through the roughest of storms.

A plan, a hope and a prosperous life. They are all just waiting for you. Go forth and grab them

HAPPY VALENTINES!!

HIHI!! Its ling,decided to blog something since I finally have internet! Hehe, VALENTINES IS COMING UP!! 6 more days!!(if i haven't counted wrong)lol.

Look, Valentines isn't all about being with the one you like or trying to impress someone. It's also about spending time with your friends and family, being with people that need your company most..

The point of having valentines to us,christians,is to show people the love that our GOD has blessed us with and to share our lives with one another, to bless others by granting them the most precious memories that someone could possibly have..

So..on valentines, show the person that loves us most that we love him back and thank him for the life he was so willing to give us,no other than the LORD our GOD..



Okay,now... I want to share a sweet story with you,enjoy!!

He met her on a party. She was so outstanding, many guys chasing after her, while he so average, nobody paid attention to him. At the end of the party, he finally found courage to invite her to have coffee with him. She was surprised, but out of politeness, she promised. They sat in a nice coffee shop, he was too nervous to say anything, she felt uncomfortable, waiting for coffee She kept on thinking, "Please, let it get over soon...let me go home...."It arrived and suddenly, he asked the waiter. "Would you please get me some salt? I'd like to put it in my coffee!" Everybody stared at him, so strange! His face turned red, but still, he put the salt in his coffee and drank it. She asked him curiously, "Why this habit?" He took a couple of sips and replied, "When I was a little boy, I lived near the sea, I liked playing in the sea! I can still remember the taste of the sea.. This salty coffee...every timeI drink it, I always think of my childhood, think of my hometown... I miss my hometown so much... I miss my parents who are still out there." While saying this, tears filled his eyes. She was deeply touched. A man who can tell out his homesickness, must be a man who loves home, cares about home, has responsibility of home. Then she also started to speak, spoke about her faraway hometown, her childhood, her family. That was a really great date, also a beautiful beginning of their story. They continued to date. She found that actually, he was a man who met all her expectations: he was tolerant, kind hearted, warm, caring. He was such a good man and hadn't been for the salt in the coffee, she'd never have really known him!The rest of the story was just like any other beautiful love story: the princess married to the prince, and they lived a very happy married life. And yes! every time she made coffee for him, she put some salt in the coffee, just the way he liked it! After 40 years of marital bliss, he died after a short illness.One day, she found a letter he had left for her: "My dearest, Please forgive me, but I lied to you.. Only once.. Remember the first time we dated? I was so nervous, I asked for salt instead of sugar! I was too embarrassesd to admit it, so I just went ahead.I never thought that could bring about such a frank and intimate conversation between the two of us!Later, I tried to tell you the truth so many times but was afraid you'd think I was a liar and never again believe me ... Now I'm dying, and am afraid of nothing so I tell you the truth: I don't like the salty coffee,as a matter of fact I hate it! What a strange bad taste.. But since you made it for me with so much love, I drank it all my life! Please forgive me, darling.. for lying to you first in that Coffee Shop and then not telling you the truth everytime you made coffee for me! I am not lying now when I say, I couldn't have that coffee any other way!- still madly in love with you"Sometimes, someone may ask her: "How did that salted coffee taste?" "It's sweet..." She always replied...

Lo Hei!!!

CNY dinner and lo hei at Meng How and Serene's new house



As you can see, not everyone got the message about the 'Red Dress Code'



Everyone made a lot of noise... but can't really make out the specific 'prosperity' terms being shouted out.
