Grace for the Moment: Volume 2 by Max Lucado

"I work...using Christ's great strength that works so powerfully in me."
Colossians 1:29

The virgin birth is more, much more, than a Christmas story; it is a picture of how close Christ will come to you. The first stop on his itinerary was a womb. Where will God go to touch the world? Look deep within Mary for an answer.

Better still, look deep within yourself. What he did with Mary, he offers to us! He issues a Mary-level invitation to all his children. "If you'll let me, I'll move in!"...

What is the mystery of the gospel? "Christ in you, the hope of glory" (Col. 1:27 NIV)...

Christ grew in Mary until he had to come out. Christ will grow in you until the same occurs. He will come out in your speech, in your actions, in your decisions. Every place you live will be a Christmas. You, like Mary, will deliver Christ into the world.

Christmas Every Day

I was struck by this devotional. That He is my best gift, an eternal gift, and an unending gift is something I often don't remember to be thankful for.

Grace for the Moment: Volume 2 by Max Lucado

"Sing praises to the LORD...Tell the nations what he has done."
Psalm 9:11

You have Christmas every day. Your gift bears, not toys and books, but God himself! His work: on the cross and in the resurrection. As a result, your sin brings no guilt, and the grave brings no fear.

His energy: it's not up to you. You can do all things through Christ, who gives you strength.

His lordship: he is in charge of you and looks out for you.

His love: what can separate you from it?

Who could imagine such gifts? Who could imagine not opening them?

Moral you get from an ass

This joke was sent by MerV's uncle who is a catholic. I'm surprised with his sense of humour.

A pastor entered his donkey in a race and it won.The pastor was so pleased with the donkey thathe entered it in the race again, and it won again.

The local newspaper read:
PASTOR'S ASS OUT FRONT.

The Bishop was so upset with this kind of publicitythat he ordered the pastor not to enter thedonkey in another race.

The next day, the local newspaper headline read:
BISHOP SCRATCHES PASTOR'S ASS.

This was too much for the Bishop, so he orderedthe pastor to get rid of the donkey.The pastor decided to give it to a nun in a nearbyconvent.

The local paper, hearing of the news, posted thefollowing headline the next day:
NUN HAS BEST ASS IN TOWN.

The Bishop fainted. He informed the nun that shewould have to get rid of the donkey, so she soldit to a farmer for $10.

The next day the paper read:
NUN SELLS ASS FOR $10.

This was too much for the Bishop, so he orderedthe nun to buy back the donkey and lead it to theplains where it could run wild.

The next day the headlines read:
NUN ANNOUNCES...HER ASS IS WILD AND FREE.

The Bishop was buried the next day....

The moral of the story is.... Being concerned aboutpublic opinion can bring you much grief and misery... and even shorten your life.
So BE yourself and enjoy life..... You'll be a lothappier and live longer!

Mat Jokes

My friend passed me this link and I knew you guys would appreciate it.
Disclaimer: I'm not racist...its just that the jokes are very funny.

If Singaporeans eat maggi mee and Indonesians eat indomee, then what do Malaysians eat?Sodomee

Where is a Malay's favourite shopping spot?
Matro

What is a Malay's favourite tv show?
Ali Matbeal

What do you call a small, cheap Malay?
Econ mini mat

What do you call a Mat bungee jumping?
Mat-Yo Yo

How do you confuse a Mat?
Put him in a circular room and ask him to relac one corner.

A Mat, who was in Primary 3, came home from school one day and asked his father, "Bapak, today in school, me and friends had competisen, see who's cock the biggest, lah. My cock bigger than all, lah. Why ah? Because I melayu, issit? The father sighed and looked at him and said, "No,lah. Because you're eighteen years old."

Three men, Ah Beng, a Chinese, Ah Neh, an Indian, and Ah Mat, a Malay, were all sentenced to terms of life imprisonment for armed robbery. Upon reaching the prison, the chief warden told them, "Since you are going to be here for a very long time, you can bring into the cell whatever you wish. Just tell me and I'll try to fulfil it."So Ah Beng asked for a lifetime supply of cigarettes so he could drown his sorrows in smoke.Ah Neh asked for a set of the Encyclopaedia Brittanica as he wanted to study his remaining life away, having never passed his PSLE.Ah Mat, however, asked for a lifetime supply of tampons. The warden was puzzled and asked, "What do you need tampons for?"Ah Mat replied: "You never hear, is it? With tampons, you can go running, cycling, swimming......"

Clarah eating ... eating ... sleeping

How can Singaporeans be happy?

via Tan Kin Lian's Blog by Tan Kin Lian on Jun 22, 2007

COMMENT POSTED IN MY BLOG:

In my 9 years here, I've rarely met anyone who's happy about their job. Everyone has grouses ... and why?

Mostly due to Money. Let's all admit it, isn't this society driven by monetary excellence? What else? High expectations has been drilled since we are young. High expectations of your maid, the guy at the front bank desk, your colleagues.

Everything is speed, accuracy, and excellence. Would anyone dare fail? What's this all boils down to? Higher stress ---> Grouses??

Is this only happening in Singapore? I don't think so. Maybe it's more evident here? Possibly?

So therefore, your statement may have to evolve to 'how can Singaporeans be happy?'

Mr. Tan sir, please share some thoughts.

REPLY:

I like to invite other readers to share their thoughts.

Here are some of my suggestions:

* live within our income
* save 15% for our future needs
* do not spend unnecessary (to keep up with other people)
* avoid borrowing on credit card
* do not envy other people; live our own life
* look for the things that are inexpensive or free in Singapore; they are plenty
* do not waste our time doing the unnecessary work
* talk to friends and colleagues
* have an inexpensive hobby
* spend time to be nice to other people
* think of others; not just ourself

I hope to get more views from other people.
