Miracle Of Love - Is Never Ending To Take Care (MUST WATCH)

This is a series of commercial ads that made my tears burst. Thanks Angie for sharing them in her blog. I found important messages from these ads that made me think about how I want to take care of my love ones in life ... really ... I like the following 2 the most.





A reading from the Apostle Paul, the first letter to the Corinthians, chapter 13, verses 4 through 7:
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Take care of your love one just like what it says in the wedding vows - "I take thee (your love one's name) to be my love one, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love, honor, and cherish, till death do us part, according to God's holy ordinance; and thereto I plight thee my troth."

9 Years Together Anniversary!

hub, we've been together for 9 years! ... wow ... 9 years!! time really flies huh ... i've given you my best years in life, so you must cherish me, tolerate me and love me for the rest of your life okay?! well ... like most people we do have ups and downs too, however we've learned soooo much throughout the journey and we've tried to make the most of everything ... cuz of all the hiccups, we have grown so much closer in our marriage. you have stood by me when i was upset and you have fought for my right when things were unfair for me ... you were always there when i needed you ... hub, thanks for everything. love ya. muack! =*

Science Centre

We went to Science Centre last Sunday! (p/s: I drove pass this place N times and failed to realise that it is actually the Science Centre!)

These are the only few photos we have from Science Centre. We were unable to take many photos due to the fact that we were too busy taking care of the 3 kids ... err, ok, i admit, also becuz we were too busy exploring the centre ourselves ...

omg, it is a T-Rex!!!

Our day out was great!

Chloe At 13 Months!

随写

你知道吗？那天小宝贝真的很可爱哩！我和妹妹心血来潮的给彼此一个拥抱，小宝贝看在眼里心里不爽得很，嘴里拼命发出抗议的声音，企图阻止小姨侵占她最爱的麻麻-我。哈哈。结果，我和妹妹故意重复地抱了又抱，就为了看看小宝贝那一张吃着醋可爱的小脸。真的很kawaii唷！

时光飞逝，不知不觉，小宝贝已经十三个月大了，可是她还是不愿意挣脱妈妈的手，学习自己走路。怎么办？每当我企图放开她的小手让她学着平衡自己的身体时，她一定会赶快蹲下，不让妈妈的“奸计”得逞。真拿她没办法。可说实在的，我是没什么着急啦 (她拔拔比较着急)！想一想，当她学会走路以后，这条路可是要走一辈子的，再也很难有机会让她停下脚步来仔仔细细地欣赏路边美丽的风景，每当想到这里，我就觉得，不要紧啦宝贝，等你准备好了才出发吧！

这几天，心里在想，小宝贝一岁生日，麻麻我最想送份什么样的礼物给她呢？我想，我最最想送她的是一颗“沉静、积极、负责任、体贴他人及爱上帝的心”。拥有沉静的心能让她在以后的人生道路上有高EQ高智慧去处理周遭的人与事。积极的心叫她遇到挫折时不气馁，不退缩，从跌倒的地方再站起来。负责任的心让她懂得为家人尽心，对社会尽一份勉力。体贴她人的心要她懂得站在别人的立场考虑事情，不要凡是只想到自己。最后，也是最最重要的一点，就是一颗爱上帝的心。这样的一颗心必教导她如何把自己交到主手中，完完全全依靠着主，并在生命中依照主的意愿行事，主必帮助她，指引她，不让她失去方向。麻麻不要她成为天才、富豪或名人，真的... 只希望她生活得快乐、充实及有意义。愿主保佑她。

A Letter From Heaven

She jumped up as soon as she saw the surgeon come out of the operating room. She said: 'How is my little boy? Is he going to be all right? When can I see him?'

The surgeon said, 'I'm sorry. We did all we could, but your boy didn't make it.'

Sally said, 'Why do little children get cancer? Doesn't God care any more? Where were you, God, when my son needed you?'

The surgeon asked, 'Would you like some time alone with your son? One of the nurses will be out in a few minutes, before he's transported to the university.'

Sally asked the nurse to stay with her while she said good bye to son. She ran her fingers lovingly through his thick red curly hair.

'Would you like a lock of his hair?' the nurse asked.

Sally nodded yes. The nurse cut a lock of the boy's hair, put it in a plastic bag and handed it to Sally.

The mother said, 'It was Jimmy's idea to donate his body to the University for Study. He said it might help somebody else. 'I said no at first, but Jimmy said, 'Mom, I won't be using it after I die. Maybe it will help some other little boy spend one more day with his Mom.' She went on, 'My Jimmy had a heart of gold. Always thinking of someone else. Always wanting to help others if he could.'

Sally walked out of Children's Mercy Hospital for the last time, after spending most of the last six months there. She put the bag with Jimmy's belongings on the seat beside her in the car.

The drive home was difficult. It was even harder to enter the empty house. She carried Jimmy's belongings, and the plastic bag with the lock of his hair to her son's room.

She started placing the model cars and other personal things back in his room exactly where he had always kept them. She laid down across his bed and, hugging his pillow, cried herself to sleep.

It was around midnight when Sally awoke. Laying beside her on the bed was a folded letter. The letter said :

'Dear Mom, I know you're going to miss me; but don't think that I will ever forget you, or stop loving you, just 'cause I'm not around to say 'I Love You'. I will always love you, Mom, even more with each day. Someday we will see each other again. Until then, if you want to adopt a little boy so you won't be so lonely, that's okay with me. He can have my room and old stuff to play with. But, if you decide to get a girl instead, she probably wouldn't like the same things us boys do. You'll have to buy her dolls and stuff girls like, you know.

Don't be sad thinking about me. This really is a neat place. Grandma and Grandpa met me as soon as I got here and showed me around some, but it will take a long time to see everything. The angels are so cool. I love to watch them fly. And, you know what? Jesus doesn't look like any of his pictures. Yet, when I saw Him, I knew it was Him. Jesus himself took me to see GOD! And guess what, Mom? I got to sit on God's knee and talk to Him, like I was somebody important. That's when I told Him that I wanted to write you a letter, to tell you good bye and everything. But I already knew that wasn't allowed. Well, you know what Mom? God handed me some paper and His own personal pen to write you this letter. I think Gabriel is the name of the angel who is going to drop this letter off to you.

God said for me to give you the answer to one of the questions you asked Him 'Where was He when I needed him?' 'God said He was in the same place with me, as when His son Jesus was on the cross. He was right there, as He always is with all His children. Oh, by the way, Mom, no one else can see what I've written except you. To everyone else this is just a blank piece of paper. Isn't that cool? I have to give God His pen back now. He needs it to write some more names in the Book of Life. Tonight I get to sit at the table with Jesus for supper. I'm sure the food will be great.

Oh, I almost forgot to tell you. I don't hurt anymore. The cancer is all gone. I'm glad because I couldn't stand that pain anymore and God couldn't stand to see me hurt so much, either. That's when He sent The Angel of Mercy to come get me. The Angel said I was a Special Delivery! How about that?

Signed with Love from God, Jesus & Me.

This chained mail made me think of those who lost their children in the earthquake. It has been 22 days after the devastating quake, the event is no longer headline news, but long term recovery is still quietly unfolding for millions of people. For those who lost their next-of-kin in this catastrophic event, sure the pain will never go away, but it will slowly, slowly, slowly ease in intensity. At our end, please extend your helping hands to those who suffered from the Sichuan earthquake as well as the Myanmar cyclone. Guess financial contribution is the least we can do. I sincerely pray for all victims' safety and peace.
