pictures and picture frames

Last Saturday night, the farewell party for one of our pastors. All went fine, but, in the end, something happened, that truly annoyed me, the parents with their children who are leaving this church, start to take down the pictures of their children from the church's classroom's wall. Aren't that supposed to be the church's properties? I sensed this anger emotion and the bitter happiness arose again. 
"We shouldn’t church plant with anger", says the main leader of the church plant many times, and he probably is the calmest person of the group.

At this point, I’m glad that my children decided to stay, but if they determine to leave, I’ll for sure go with them, no matter what.

Also that day two of the picture frames broke while they were taking down the pictures, the parents throw those broken glass right in the trash can!? What the hell? Even my son, knows better than them, it's not the way to throw something harmful like that right in the trash can. We do inform some main person of the church, it had been taken care of.

With man this is impossible

Not remember, is it for 2014 or 201,should be for 2015, my new year resolution, I wish that my Cantonese can be improved, not little, but a whole lot, at that time, I recall at that time, when share this at my fellowship meeting, some people show unbelieving. I do improve a lot.

This year, I’ll add one more, I want not just improve more, but I can sharing gospel in Cantonese, are you with me? 

馬太福音 Matthew 19:26
耶穌注視著他們，說：「在人，這是不可能的；但是在神，凡事都可能。」
Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

肥媽 Maria Cordero

The other day I heard part of the interview of Maria Cordero, while I’m driving to an appointment, Maria Cordero, MH (肥媽瑪俐亞; Fat Mama Maria) is a singer, actress, TV Host and DJ from Macau. She also has her own cooking show, Maria's Kitchen (肥媽私房菜) on Cable TV.

Something inspire me, in the interview, the radio hostess asks her, is she feeling upset about still working during Chinese New Year, for this is a major holiday in Chinese’s culture, here’s her answer, “ working!? I’m not working, I love singing, I love cooking”, wow!

She’s ok for her nickname, Fat Mama.
 She also mentions for her cooking show has been on for 4 years by now, never a single recipe being repeated, “I have over 2,000 recipes ready for me to show and teach”.

One interesting comment about money from her, “spend the money while you can, for spending them when you can, it’s called money, after you die, then, it’s called inheritance.”

She also has fairy good relationships with others, families, friends and the like. And she reveal a typically relationships with her grandchildren.

Ever complain about the work, the boss, co-workers, work overtime, treating unfair at work on and on, to her, she is enjoying all of her so-called not a working things? Ever treat money too conservatively for yourself or others?

She didn’t even grow up with an easy childhood. When she was eleven her father died in Cordero, and she began working to support her seven brothers and sisters. She resorted to using identity cards from friends, because the legal working age in Hong Kong was 14. Of course, for this one, I don’t quite agree on the illegal issue but sometimes, you have no choice, especially on the age thing, for I know some other people have to lie or do something illegal to survive.

While working as a hotel telephone operator, she came across the opportunity to learn the bass guitar. The hotel resident band found out and hired her to play at night after she auditioned. For several years she worked a triple job of telephone operator in the day, band player at night, and working as a cashier. But she also worked as a line cook for takeaway contractors for office workers.

Not everything seems reasonable at the time, yet, it turn out to be the turning point or success key of your life every so often.

beeswax

So many interesting facts and benefits from beeswax, and its 1/3 of the ingredients of my handmade lotion bar, besides 1/3 of olive oil and 1/3 of coconut oil.
Read through the whole article then you'll find, most of the suggestion usages for the skin are mix beeswax with honey and olive oil.

I actually use the lotion bar on myself and my son's skin, the result comes out really good, we are joking about, we should took before and after pictures of it to show how the skin transform. Well, too late, it's been healed.

My young son suffer from skin problems since he was little, I took him to the doctor and had some prescribed ointments applied on his skin, right away the symptoms gone but once I stop this ointment thing, the rash or whatever it is came right back. This scared me, wait a minute, didn't we all want something effective or some kind of magic on curing? Sure!  However in this case, that also mean, you have rely on this ointment forever or there must be some horrible side effects along with it. So, I made the decision for him and stop using it or any other way until now. 
I also recalled a fun memory about this rash thing of my son, when he was one month old , grandparent, parents, uncles, aunties, cousins, nephews, nieces come to congrats me for my new born, then when my untie try to hold the baby, she look at me puzzled and said, I wonder how do you raise your baby, how come your baby's skin is bumpy not smooth?

You must not blame me to wait this long to find a nature way to solve his skin issue. However, I prefer use it as external usage, like skin or hair than oral. And not sure some of benefits, like, lower cholesterol. To tell you the true, I don't know anything about the beeswax's specialty till I use this lotion bar for my son's and see the outcomes and then start to search through the web for it. I only think that it's all nature at the first and the last place.

Luke 5:17-26

¹⁷ And it came to pass on a certain day, as He was teaching, that there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, who had come from every town of Galilee and Judea and Jerusalem. And the power of the Lord was present to heal them.¹⁸ And behold, men brought in on a bed a man who was taken with a palsy, and they sought means to bring him in and to lay him before Him.¹⁹ And when they could not find a way to bring him in because of the multitude, they went upon the housetop, and let him down on his couch through the tiling into the midst before Jesus.²⁰ And when He saw their faith, He said unto him, “Man, thy sins are forgiven thee.”²¹ And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, “Who is this who speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?”²² But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, He answering said unto them, “What reason ye in your hearts:²³ whether it is easier to say, ‘Thy sins be forgiven thee,’ or to say, ‘Rise up and walk’?²⁴ But that ye may know that the Son of Man hath power upon earth to forgive sins,” He said unto the one sick with the palsy, “I say unto thee, arise and take up thy couch and go into thine house.”²⁵ And immediately he rose up before them, and took up that whereon he lay, and departed to his own house, glorifying God.²⁶ And they were all amazed, and they glorified God and were filled with fear, saying, “We have seen strange things today.”

Matthew 9:20-22

²⁰ And behold, a woman who was diseased with an issue of blood for twelve years came up behind Him and touched the hem of His garment;²¹ for she said to herself, “If I may but touch His garment, I shall be whole.”²² But Jesus turned about, and when He saw her, He said, “Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole.” And the woman was made whole from that hour.

Matthew 14:13-14
13 When Jesus heard what had happened, he withdrew by boat privately to a solitary place. Hearing of this, the crowds followed him on foot from the towns. 14 When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them and healed their sick.

Galatians 5:13-14

¹³ For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion of the flesh, but by love serve one another.¹⁴ For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: “Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.”

colossians 3:15-16
15 Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. 16 Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts.
