Backfire....haa..haa..haa..

Two Christians were lost in the Sahara desert . One is David, the other is Michael. They were dying of hunger and thirst when they suddenly came upon an oasis , with what looked like an minaret of a mosque in the middle . David said to Michael : "Look, let's pretend we are Muslim, otherwise these Arabs are going to kill us . I am going to call myself Mohammed."

Michael refused to change his name , he said :" My name is Michael , and I will not pretend to be other than but what I am . ...Michael."

The Imam of the mosque received both well and asked about their names. David said : "My name is Mohammed." Michael said : "My name is Michael. "

The Imam turned to the helpers of the mosque and said : "Please bring some food and water for Michael only." Then he turned to the other and said: "Well Mohammed I hope you are aware that we are still in the holy month of Ramadan."

素食

今天的晚餐是素食，感觉挺不错！

素食与健康

2006年11月29日 作者： 来源：网络 【字体：减小 增大】【推荐给好友】

今天和大家分享的主题是《素食与健康》。首先了解一下什么是正确的健康理念？我们有没有非常正确的饮食观念，来指导我们的生活？这个值得我们去思考。我们 会不会常常担心自己的身体营养不够。特别是这个做父母亲的，生怕自己的孩子吃不饱，吃不好。所以说常常会鸡，鸭，鱼肉。蛋奶不断地供给他，尤其是对病人， 也是如此。大量地提供这些食物之后，有没有考虑一个人胃的负担在加重？那有一个问题不得不引起我们的重视和反思。就是现在人生病是营养不良呢？还是营养过 剩引起的？今天生病的原因，一个是营养过剩，第二个就是饮食不当。从而导致疾病的产生。常见的：像高血压、心脏病、心肌梗塞、糖尿病、癌症等。现在的专家 已经证实慢性疾病与吃肉有关。，可能有人会说，不吃肉我们的蛋白质是不是获取不足呢？其实呢，素食会不会蛋白质摄取不足呢？不会的。植物中的蛋白质不低于 动物的蛋白质。而且有些植物含有高品质的蛋白质。比方说：黄豆、紫菜、花生，再者，蛋白质不是摄取的越多越好。我们成人每天应当摄取多少呢？40—60克 就够了，那合理的素食，完全可以保证我们这些蛋白质的需求，而过量的蛋白质就会加大我们肝脏和肾脏的负担，也会导致钙的流失。因为蛋白质属于酸性的物质， 而我们身体要维持弱碱性的话，身体里大量的碱是什么？是钙，骨头就是我们身体里的钙银行。所以，当我们摄取过多的蛋白质时，骨头里的钙就会流失，以平衡我 们身体里的酸碱度。这就是为什么骨之疏松症在西方发达国家非常严重的道理。


　 　而在贫苦的山区或落后的地方会不会得这种病？就不会得这种病。反而骨头非常的坚硬，所以我们要了解酸性体质是慢病的根源。人们在追求身体健康时会关注吃 的营养，想到营养我们脑海中常常想到的：鸡、鸭、鱼肉、蛋，我们就会想到这些东西，是我们身体需要的营养。然而人们不了解，对身体这部机器的运转更需要什 么呢？其实是能量。而获取能量并不是您吃得多或吃得少，才能够获取能量。相反，你吃得不合适，吃得过多呢，反而会耗掉我们体内的能量。因为我们的消化也要 靠能量的。


　　素食其实是我们人类的天性。以我们的身体结构来看，我们想想看：我们的牙齿和虎豹牙齿是不 是一样？完全不一样，我们只有四颗比较坚厉的牙齿，而虎豹长得完全和我们完全不同。它们是长着带勾形的牙齿。我们吃东西是左右研磨，老虎它们是靠切割食 肉。我们看肠子的长度，猫的肠子长度与它的脊椎骨的比例是3比1，而我们和牛一样是7比1。肉在体内太久了就会产生一种效果，发效，还会发臭，甚至发霉。 那我们吃下去的肉，往往要经过三五天，甚至一个星期，你才能把这些毒素排除到体外。所以说呢，在吃肉过程当中有很多毒素被我们人体吸收。再看看我们的手跟 这个凶猛动物的手一样不一样？完全不一样。所以我们有没有捕捉动物的能力？没有。但是像虎豹它们就有这种捕捉的能力，我们人要靠工具，但那不是我们的天 性。


　　我们再来看一下素食与环保。 素食不仅对我们的健康有益，更是对地球的健康有益，也是关系到更多人的生命。生产一斤肉，到底要消耗多少谷物呢？要十二斤的谷物。我们每个人对粮食的需 求，一年只需200斤。因为食肉每个人每年要消耗多少斤粮食？800斤的粮食。那美国农民所种得80%的玉米和90%燕麦都是用来喂养牲畜的！那同时肉食 文化严重伤害森林，造成生物大量的灭绝！大量的粪便也流入我们的河流，大海。就美国而言现在已经超过了10亿吨！


　　所以说今天富裕的国家在大口大口的吃肉，同一时刻，我们看到非洲成千上万的大人孩子，正饥肠辘辘，透过新闻，透过电视，都可以看到这样的景象。所以每天都有四五万人是被饿死的！那我们说少吃一口肉就能救活一个人。少吃一口肉也是我们举手之劳的环保！ 拯救地球谁有责任？拯救地球我们每一个人都有责任。那最后呢，我们敬上四句话可以记下，对于我们健康的四句格言：药补不如食补、食补不如动补、动补不如心 补。当我们少吃肉，多吃菜的时候，这个饲养牲畜的粮食量就不会这么大，价格也不会一直飞涨。整个地球环境也因为吃的东西影响我们整个地球的环境。温室效应 跟饮食有没有关系？有。地球的温度皆皆高升，地球的温度再继续的升起来，那南北极的冰会融化。融化之后，很多沿海地方的国家就会被淹没。


　　有一个数字是这么写道：一万年前地球每一百年都会有一种物种消失， 一千年前，每十年有一种物种消失。一百年前，一年有一种物种消失。二十年前，每一年有五百种物种消失。五年前，每一年有两万种物消失。速度快不快？人类进步了，值得深思。


　 　你去买菜的时候怎么挑菜？（回答：如果看到菜被虫子咬过，证明它没有农药）怎样有判断力才会有对的决择。所以现在是三餐服毒呀！很多农夫自己种的菜不 吃，但是话说回来，消费者要买菜，观念要改变。当你常常去买那个咬过洞的菜，它慢慢地农药就喷少了。所以根本问题：吃的人跟种的人都要有共事，才能真正吃 的好。而喷农药表面上是要把谁杀？（虫子）。你看人，它敢吃我菜我就杀了你。能杀掉它吗？万物都有一个本能，求生本能。所以你喷下去取我命，我偏不要，开 始基因转变，开始喷一种农药，结果后来再加一种变为两种，基本上都喷两三种。药效很毒呀！结果很多农夫喷了都晕倒！有很多同志良心发现，喷得自己都晕倒 了，自己还可以吃吗？后来，自己就下定决心了，用自然的方法，种出健康的东西给人家吃。每一样人们都要它绝子绝孙，到时候谁绝子绝孙，因果报应。丝毫不 差！现在人不孕症的人多不多？越来越多了！爱人者人恒爱之，，害人者，害物者就会回到自己身上。所以到最后所有的人都污染了，都会回到自己的嘴巴里面。这 个很值得我们好好深思。

To : All my dear friends, be extra cautious when you need to help others, be very smart and alert at all times.

A NEW KIND OF RAPE ( LADIES BE WARNED )

This is a true story. The woman left the office after working hours and saw a little child crying on the road. Feeling pity for the child, she went to ask what happened. The child said, 'I am lost. Can you take me home please? Then the child gave her a slip of paper and tells the woman where the address is. The woman, being an average kind person who didn't suspect anything took the child there. And then when they arrived at the child's 'home', the kind hearted woman pressed the door bell and she was electrocuted as the bell was wired with high voltage, and fainted. The next day when she woke up, she found herself in an empty house up in the hills, naked. Condoms were all thrown around with semen all over her and flowing from her body. There were at least about 20 condoms! She has not even seen her assailants. That's why nowadays crimes are targeted on kind people like her. Next time if the same situation occurs, never bring the child to the intended place. If the child insists, then bring the child to the police station. Lost children are best sent and or taken to police stations . Please send this to all your female friends/colleagues, and your male friends with girlfriends and wives. It is better to receive this email a thousand times than be a victim once! Please pass this on to family members. It is better to be informed. It is sad that we can’t even help children now!

地球·是我们的家

近三次大地震竟然出现惊人巧合

近三次大地震竟然出现惊人巧合

5 月 1 2 日 8.0 汶川

1 月 1 2 日 7.3 海地

2 月 2 7 日 8.8.智利

横看为512 112 227

竖看为512 112 227

传说中的，横竖都是死?

汶川、海地、智利3次大地震时间上的巧合（512、112、227，后两位分别为12、12、27），使越来越多的人相信玛雅预言的世界末日（2012 12月27日）真的就要到来的思想进一步激化

这是刚才朋友转来的，

看来地球大灾难真的在进程中。。。

现在就珍惜眼前的一切吧~

如果2012世界末日真的发生，请不要惊讶。 不只是因为玛雅传说，而是科学证明。 升2度C的温度将让地球被毁灭。 從1度C到6度C 英國作家萊納斯（Mark Lynas）閱讀了上千篇科學論文，走訪多位氣候和環境專家，以兩年時間，寫出《六度的變化》（Six Degrees）一書。 書中預測地球每升溫1度C，會帶來的後果；當升溫6度C，就是人類滅亡的臨界點。 升高1度C： 農業地帶會沙漠化，沙塵暴覆蓋城市；三分之一地表的淡水（河流和湖泊）會干涸；低窪的海岸地區將被淹沒；北極熊、海象和海豹絕跡。 升高2度C： 歐洲的夏天，像撒哈拉沙漠般火熱，人們死於熱浪；大火燒毀大量森林；格陵蘭冰原徹底消融，全球海平面升高7米；地球上有三分之一的物種面臨死亡威脅。 升高3度C： 亞馬遜森林死亡；超級颱風將肆虐沿海的城市；紐約市已經泡在水裡；印度次大陸和非洲發生大饑荒。 升高4度C： 永凍土解凍，雪水讓全球暖化加速；英國的大部份地區因為嚴重淹水無法住人；人類被迫遷出地中海區；全球爆發糧食危機。 升高5度C： 海底下的海床釋出的甲烷加速暖化；南北極的冰層融化；雨林已經燒光、變成沙漠；人類為了尋找食物開始大遷徙，過著動物一樣的生活。 升高6度C： 連北極也沒有冰了；歐洲是一片沙漠；地球大部份地區已經不適合人類居住；沿海城市成為廢墟。 超過6度C： 暖化完全失控，任何努力都是徒勞了；超級暴風雨、洪水、硫化氫氣體、以及甲烷火球摧毀地球；人類滅亡，地球只有黴菌能夠存活；地球回到1億5000萬年前恐龍滅絕的年代。

聯合國的跨政府氣候變遷專家小組（IPCC）報告指出，人類的活動，包括土地利用、工業生產、城市化和生活型態，都排放大量溫室氣體（Greenhouse Gas），從而造成地球升溫。
地球升溫人類造成地球升溫的種種因素，超過90%是人類自己造成。
人類知道溫度上升會毀滅世界，但是，卻依照熱衷追求高排放的經濟成長模式，也習慣於高消耗的生活方式，樂此不疲，不會輕易放棄。
就好像一缸水裡的青蛙，水的溫度逐漸的升高，青蛙始終無動於衷，甚至愜意無比；直到溫度過了臨界點，它已經跳不出水缸，活活被煮死。
青蛙沒有意識到水溫上升，所以不會跳出水缸。人類呢？
美國和中國是世界兩大二氧化碳排放量最高的國家，在哥本哈根峰會上，不但無法攜手合作，反倒是針鋒相對，歸咎對方；在堅持本身利益的同時，要對方作出更大讓步。
哥本哈根大會沒有讓人類跳出水缸，大國之間相互扯後腿，逼使大家都留在水缸。
一紙“記錄在案”的氣候協議，只是同意減少排放溫室氣體，卻沒有制訂目標，也沒有執行方案。
窮國與島國皆大失所望。面對淹沒威脅的太平洋小島圖瓦盧代表說，這是對未來的背叛；非洲蘇丹的代表說，協議是判處非洲死刑，形同大屠殺。

心臟病發作與喝溫開水

The Chinese and Japanese drink hot tea with their meals, not cold water, maybe it is time we adopt their drinking habit while eating.

中國人和日本人吃飯的時候喝熱茶，而不是喝冰開水，

我們應該學習中國人和日本人的飲食習慣。

It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal.. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion. Once this 'sludge' reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.
吃過飯之後喝一杯冰冷的飲料的確很舒服，然而，

冷開水會使你剛剛吃下肚的油膩膩的食物凝結在一起，而且會使胃腸的消化作用變慢，

一旦這一大坨像爛泥的東西碰到胃酸，就會分解而很快地被腸子吸引，它會附著在腸壁上，

沒多久它就會變成脂肪，而導致癌症，所以說，吃過飯之後最好還是喝一碗熱湯或一杯溫開水。

Common Symptoms Of Heart Attack...
心臟病發作的一般徵兆
A serious note about heart attacks! -! You should know that not every heart attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting . Be aware of intense pain in the jaw line .

請你特別注意：並不是所有心臟病發作的時候都會左臂疼痛，

你倒是要留意你頸項的劇烈疼痛。

You may never have the first chest pain during the course of a heart attack. Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms. 60% of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do not wake up. Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let's be careful and be aware. The more we know, the better chance we could survive.

心臟病發作的時候不一定會胸口疼痛，

而噁心和猛烈的盜汗才是心臟病發作時常見的徵候，

有60%的心臟病在睡夢中發作而患者因此一覺不醒，

頸項疼痛常常會把你從熟睡中醒過來，所以要特別小心，

我們懂得越多，活命的機會就越大。

Words can Heal and Words can Harm-James Lau

Words are very important. Words can heal and words can harm. Words can hurt grievously and for a long time. The tongue can bless and the tongue can curse. It is very important for us to control our words and tame our tongue when we are angry. Many times, when we are angry we say the most atrocious things. We forget ourselves and become indifferent to what we say. We blast the other person without mercy, although we may not mean those words. But words once spoken cannot be taken back and it takes a long time to forgive and forget. We have to exercise self-control. Many couples are particularly prone to such outbursts when they get mad. But it is not an easy thing to control our tongue when we are provoked, boiled over with anger or have outburst of wrath. It is at such time that we have to learn to hold our tongue and to remain silent. If we can’t tame our tongue, we have to take a break or go for a walk to cool off. It is much easier to control the words before the blow-up than during the explosion.
Uncontrollable words spoken in anger can have devastating effect. Angry words, that are used unthinkingly, such as “I don’t care,” ”I can’t be bothered,” “I don’t need you,” or “you can go to hell” cause pain and feelings of rejection. They give rise to insecurity. The unmeant and foolish words contain full of deadly poison and can play havoc in the mind. The unruly words get churned over for hours on end and create their worst mischief in a difficult relationship. It can take a very long time to forgive what was said. Let us learn to turn away from angry words before they leave our mouth and try to say healing words instead. Father Henri Nouwen said, “It is so important to choose our words wisely. When we are boiling with anger and eager to throw bitter words at our opponents, it is better to remain silent. Words spoken in rage will make reconciliation very hard. Choosing life and not death, blessings and not curses, often starts by choosing to remain silent or choosing carefully the words that open the way to healing.” (“Bread for the Journey,” Sept 5)
We must also be very careful that in our anger we do not label our children with ugly names such as fat, stupid, snake, pig, moron, ‘kay-poh’(busy-body), useless, good for nothing. Such negative words can do harm to them for years to come! Henri Nouwen said, “When we say to someone, ‘You are an ugly, useless, despicable person,’ we might have ruined the possibility for a relationship with that person for life. Words can continue to do harm for many years.” (“Bread for the Journey,” Sept 5) Indeed, we do not want to spoil our relationship with our own precious children. We must always use words to build them up not words to knock them down. Be an encourager not a critic. They have enough people criticizing them but far too few approving and affirming them. So to help our children to fulfill their highest potential we should be their greatest ENCOURAGER. Encourage. Encourage. Encourage on every occasion.
St Paul advises us not to speak harmful words but to use helpful words, “Do not use harmful words, but only helpful words, the kind that build up and provide what is needed, so that what you say will do good to those who hear you.” (Ephesians 4:29 TEV) Also, don’t utter vulgar or obscene words, “Nor is it fitting for you to use language which is obscene, profane, or vulgar.” (Ephesians 5:4 TEV) And no more immoral talks, jokes or gossips “Since you are God’s people, it is not right that any matters of sexual immorality or indecency or greed should even be mentioned among you...You may be sure that no one who is immoral, indecent, or greedy (for greed is a form of idolatry) will ever receive a share in the Kingdom of Christ and of God.”(Ephesians 5:3,5 TEV) St Paul warns us not to quarrel so we are to “Remind our people of this, and give them a solemn warning in God’s presence not to fight with words. It does no good, but only ruins the people who listen...Keep away from profane and foolish discussions, which only drive people further away from God. Such teaching is like an open sore that eats away the flesh.”(2 Timothy 2:14,16-17 TEV) He reiterates that we should “keep away from foolish and ignorant arguments; you know that they end up in quarrels. As the Lord’s servant, you must not quarrel. You must be kind toward all, a good and patient teacher, who is gentle as you correct your opponents, for it may be that God will give them the opportunity to repent and come to know the truth. And then they will come to their senses and escape the trap of the Devil, who had caught them and made them obey his will.”(2 Timothy 2:22-26 TEV)
It is vitally important that we exercise our choice to speak helpful words wherever we are, particularly at home. As Henri Nouwen said, “Words can bring consolation, comfort, encouragement, and hope. Words can take away fear, isolation, shame, and guilt. Words can reconcile, unite, forgive, and heal. Words can bring peace and joy, inner freedom and deep gratitude. Words, in short, can carry love on their wings. A word of love can be one of the greatest acts of love.” (“Bread for the Journey,” June 22) When we choose to speak words of care, words of encouragement, words of praise, words of love, words of admiration, positive words---they uplift and give meaning to our lives. Everyday we need to give and receive words of encouragement, hope and joy. We then create an environment that is pleasant to be in and that gives us the confidence and courage to cope with our stressful life here and now. Henri Nouwen said, “When we say to our parents, children, or friends, ‘I love you very much’ or ‘I care for you’ or ‘I think of you often’ or ‘You are my great gift,’ we choose to give life.
"It is not always easy to express our love directly in words. But whenever we do, we discover we have offered a blessing that will be long remembered. When a son can say to his father, ‘Dad, I love you,’ and when a mother can say to her daughter, ‘Child, I love you,’ a whole new blessed place can be opened up, a space where it is good to dwell. Indeed, words have the power to create life.” (“Bread for the Journey,” Sept 6)
Often, we want to hear words such as, “’I’ve been thinking of you today,’ or ‘I missed you,’ or ‘I wish you were here,’ or ‘I really love you.’ It is not always easy to say these words, but such words can deepen our bonds with one another.
"Telling someone ‘I love you’ in whatever way is always delivering good news. Nobody will respond by saying, ‘Well, I know that already, you don’t have to say it again!’ Words of love and affirmation are like bread. We need them each day, over and over. They keep us alive inside.” (“Bread for the Journey,” Feb 12) “When we say, ‘I love you,’ and say it from the heart, we can give another person new life, new hope, new courage. When we say, ‘I hate you,’ we can destroy another person. Let’s watch our words." (“Bread for the Journey,” Feb 11)
At the same time, we must be careful that we are sincere in our words because if we say, ‘I love you,’ without meaning it, then such words do more harm than good. But if these same words are spoken from the heart, they create new life. They give joy. They bring happiness. We have to make sure that our words are rooted from our heart.
To dwell in peace and joy, we have to learn from Jesus. As Henri Nouwen said, ”The words of Jesus can keep us erect and confident in the midst of the turmoil of the end-time. They can support us, encourage us, and give us life even when everything around us speaks of death. Jesus’ words are food for eternal life. They do much more than give us ideas and inspiration. They lead us into the eternal life while we are still being clothed in mortal flesh.
" When we keep close to the word of Jesus, reflecting on it, ‘chewing’ on it, eating it as food for the soul, we will enter even more deeply into the everlasting love of God.” (“Bread for the Journey,” Sept 20) So it is vitally essential for us to read the Bible, as, “Spiritual reading is food for our souls. As we slowly let the words of the Bible or a good spiritual book enter into our minds and descend into our hearts, we become different people. The Word gradually becomes flesh in us and transforms our whole being. Thus spiritual reading is a continuing incarnation of the divine Word within us. In and through Jesus, the Christ, God became flesh long ago. In and through our reading of God’s Word and our reflection on it, God becomes flesh in us now and makes us into living Christs for today.
" Let’s keep reading God’s Word with love and great reverence.” (“Bread for the Journey,” April 16)
Since love is proved by works and not words alone, “What we live is more important than what we say, because the right way of living always leads to the right way of speaking. When we forgive our neighbours from our hearts, our hearts will speak forgiving words. When we are grateful, we will speak grateful words, and when we are hopeful and joyful, we will speak hopeful and joyful words.
"When our words come too soon and we are not yet living what we are saying, we easily give double messages. Giving double messages--one with our words and another with our actions--makes us hypocrites. May our lives give us the right words, and may our words lead us to the right lives.” (“Bread for the Journey,” June 20)
Should we, then, keep quiet and not speak at all if we cannot live by what we say? No, said Henri Nouwen, “Can we only speak when we are fully living what we are saying? If all our words had to cover all our actions, we would be doomed to permanent silence! Sometimes we are called to proclaim God’s love even when we are not yet fully able to live it. Does that mean we are hypocrites? Only when our own words no longer call us to conversion. Nobody completely lives up to his or her own ideals and visions. But by proclaiming our ideals and visions with conviction and great humility, we may gradually grow into the truth we speak. As long as we know that our lives always speak louder that our words, we can trust that our words will remain humble. (“Bread for the Journey,” June 21)
Finally, we need to remind ourselves that all of us have a responsibility to share and pass on our unique experiences in life to our children and others by telling our stories, verbally or if possible, in writing. Henri Nouwen said “One of the arguments we often use for not writing is this: ‘I have nothing original to say. Whatever I might say someone else has already said it, and better than I will ever be able to.’ This, however, is not a good argument for not writing. Each human being is unique and original, and nobody has lived what we have lived. Furthermore, what we have lived, we have lived not just for ourselves but for others as well. Writing can be a creative and invigorating way to make our lives available to ourselves and to others.
"We have to trust that our stories deserve to be told. We may discover that the better we tell our stories the better we will want to live them.” (“Bread for the Journey,” April 29) Writing also helps us to touch base and clarify our thoughts for us to live our life more fully. ”Writing can help us to concentrate, to get in touch with the deepest stirrings of our hearts, to clarify our minds, to process confusing emotions, to reflect on our experiences, to give artistic expression to what we are living, and to store significant events in our memories. Writing can also be good for others who might read what we write.
"Quite often a difficult, painful, or frustrating day can be ‘redeemed’ by writing about it. By writing we can claim what we have lived and thus integrate it more fully into our journeys. Then writing can become lifesaving for us and sometimes for others too.” (“Bread for the Journey,” April 27)

Blessings and Curses

All of us have our share of suffering and Christians are not exempted from them. We don’t welcome it but we seldom have much control. Father Henri Nouwen says:
“It is an on going temptation to think of our lives as living under a curse. The loss of a friend, an illness, an accident, a natural disaster, a war, or any failure can make us quickly think that we are no good and are being punished. This temptation to think of our lives as full of curses is even greater when all the media present us day after day with stories about human misery.
Jesus came to bless us, not to curse us. But we must choose to receive that blessing and hand it on to others. Blessings and curses are always placed in front of us. We are to choose. God says, ‘Choose the blessings!’” (Bread for the Journey, Sept 8)

“To bless means to say good things. We have to bless one another constantly. Parents need to bless their children, children their parents, husbands their wives, wives their husbands, friends their friends. In our society, so full of curses, we must fill each place we enter with our blessings. We forget so quickly that we are God’s beloved children and allow the many curses of our world to darken our hearts. Therefore, we have to be reminded of our belovedness and remind others of theirs. Whether the blessing is given in words or with gestures, in a solemn or an informal way, our lives need to be blessed lives.” (Bread for the Journey, Sept 7)

We bless ourselves:

· when we give thanks with a grateful heart.

· when we listen to the quiet, inner voice that says good things about ourselves.

· when we affirm ourselves and know that we have given the best of ourselves in whatever we have worked on.

· when we shut out the loud, busy outer voice that says we are being punished.

We bless others:

· when we speak good things about them and to them.

· when we show by our gestures that their presence is a joy to us.

· when we reveal to them their gifts, their goodness and their talents.

1. Our reactions immediately after an unpleasant event happens
When we lose our job, when we have an abusive boss, when a car accident happens, when we are robbed, when we are seriously ill, when we have cancer, the immediate question “Why?” emerges. “Why me?” “Why now?” “Why here?” “What have I done wrong?” “Why am I being punished?” It is so difficult to live without an answer to this “Why?” But, if we are too focused and obsessed with finding the answers to these questions of the causes of these events, we are more likely to end up being angry and bitter. Bitterness will turn us away from God and thus we curse ourselves.

In order to help me see my suffering and pain in a new light, I have to change my focus. Now that the unpleasant event has happened, what should my response be? By concentrating on my response, I am more likely to end up turning to God, trusting Him and blessing myself. How is this done? Mother Teresa advised, “Just accept whatever He gives and give whatever He takes with a big smile.” (The Wisdom of Mother Teresa, 42) Who can do that? I can’t do it. It is impossible for me to accept with a smile this suffering and adversity. Whenever I say anything is impossible, I have inadvertently put a curse on myself! I have shut out all possibilities. But I may be able to accept it with a smile, if I truly believe that “God loves me” (John 15:9 TEV) and that “I am precious to Him” (Isaiah 43:4 TEV). How? This requires a change in mindset and heart-set because if I am precious to God, then it stands to reason that He cares for me and knows my suffering and hardships and that He has permitted, allowed, sent or given them to me. Furthermore, I will surely be able to smile if I turn to God and wholeheartedly believe that with God’s help all things are possible as, “This is impossible with human beings, but for God everything is possible” (Matthew 19:26 TEV). When I embrace this truth, I bless myself. Therefore, I must trust that God has allowed the suffering to be a means of discipline through which faith, love, patience and grace may be cultivated in my life. God will not allow my suffering and pain to be wasted and to be of no value to me. God will see me through my suffering and will carry me through it all but I have to keep reminding myself that, ”I have the strength to face all conditions by the power that Christ gives me.” (Philippians 4:13 TEV) And “God has given us a spirit of power and of love and of a sound mind" (2 Timothy 1:7 TEV). This belief, this constant repetition will help me to face my suffering and hardships in a new perspective. What I need to do is to turn to God, do my best under the circumstances and trust Him to turn it round for my good. God promises to take “all things” including suffering, abuses, evil things, and turn them round for good as “in all things God works for good with those who love Him”(Romans 8:28 TEV).

But what is for our good? This is for the individual to pray and with God’s help to discover. He needs to constantly search for himself answers to the questions: “What is the seed of equivalent good in my suffering?” “What is the seed of equivalent benefit in my adversity?” Some good traits which we may develop can be more patience, more consideration, less arrogance and less resentment.

Remember, all God requires of us is to come to Him in prayer and trust Him completely. Trust Him to turn our lives around. He will not fail us because we can trust God “who always keeps His promise.” (1 Peter 4:19 TEV) We do our part and give of our best and He will do His part. When we turn to God, God will work WITH us to turn the suffering and pain round for our good. The circumstances, the pain, the suffering, the hardship or the adversity may still be there and may not change much BUT our response and internal attitude towards them will certainly change. Yes, we can take God at His Word that He will help us, comfort us, strengthen us and support us through our pain and suffering. Then, suffering can become a turning point from which we take our greatest leap forward in our faith in God. When we trust God, God gives us the hope and courage to look suffering in the face and to go through it confidently with a renewed spirit and heart. Our suffering will, hopefully, turn us round to come in closer touch with the presence of God in our lives. The great secret in life is that suffering can become a source of new hope and new life. We will then learn to accept it with a smile. This is indeed a blessing.

2. Our memory of events long after they happened
How we recount these unpleasant experiences is also vitally important. When we constantly recount them:
· with blaming God,
· with blaming others,
· with cursing our fate,
· with anger,
· with fear,
· with regret,
· with the feeling of being victimised,
then we put these events under the curse. When we feel we are being punished, the feeling of being cursed comes easily. We will hear an inner voice calling us “bad,” “rotten,” “worthless,” “useless,” “doomed to sickness and death.” We darken our hearts and live our lives with bitterness and resentment. So, we unconsciously curse ourselves.

But blessing is nothing more than recounting positively these events:
· with what God has helped us to endure or overcome,
· with what patience our family and friends have stood by us,
· with what we have learnt out of the events, and
· with hope, courage and love.
Then we put these experiences under the blessing and we consciously bless ourselves.

Henri Nouwen says, “In Latin, to bless is benedicere. The word ‘benediction’ that is used in many churches means literally: speaking (dictio) well (bene) or saying good things of someone. That speaks to me. I need to hear good things said of me, and I know how much you have the same need. Nowadays, we often say: ‘We have to affirm each other.’ Without affirmations, it is hard to live well. To give someone a blessing is the most significant affirmation we can offer. It is more than a word of praise or appreciation; it is more than pointing out someone’s talents or good deeds; it is more than putting someone in the light. To give a blessing is to affirm, to say ‘yes’ to a person’s Belovedness. And more than that: to give a blessing creates the reality of which it speaks. There is a lot of mutual admiration in this world, just as there is a lot of mutual condemnation. A blessing goes beyond the distinction between admiration or condemnation, between virtues or vices, between good deeds or evil deeds. A blessing touches the original goodness of the other and calls forth his or her Belovedness.” (Life of the Beloved, 56)

Physical, mental or emotional pain lived under the blessing is experienced in ways radically different from physical, mental or emotional pain lived under the curse. Even a small burden, perceived as a sign of our worthlessness, can lead us to deep depression. But, great and heavy burdens become light and easy when they are lived in the light of the blessing. What seems intolerable becomes a challenge. What seems a reason for despair becomes a source of hope. What seems punishment becomes a gentle pruning from God. What seems rejection becomes a way to a deeper communion with God. And so the great task becomes that of allowing the blessing to touch us in our brokenness. Then our brokenness will gradually come to be seen as an opening towards the full acceptance of ourselves as the Beloved children of God. This explains why true joy can be experienced in the midst of great suffering. It is the joy of being disciplined, purified and pruned. Just as athletes who experience great pain as they run the race can, at the same time, taste the joy of knowing that they are coming closer to their goal, so also can the Beloved experience suffering as a way to deeper communion with God. Here joy and sorrow are no longer each other’s opposites, but have become the two sides of the same desire to grow to the fullness of the Beloved. For this blessed attitude to take root, we have to have deep faith that God loves us unconditionally and that we are the beloved children of God, very precious to Him.

God sent Jesus to bless us, “God. . . sent Him to bless you” (Acts 3:26 NJB) and Jesus himself has blessed us with every spiritual blessing, “our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with all the spiritual blessings” (Ephesians 1:3 NJB). Jesus shows us by His Words and Deeds how to live a blessed life, “Blessed are those who do His commandments” (Revelation 22:14 NKJV). Jesus creates a whole new blessed environment for us to dwell in and, ”how happy are those who hear the word of God and obey it!"(Luke 11:28 TEV) We have to choose to stay in that place with Him and to hand His blessings on to others to make our blessings grow and multiply.

Remember, no one is brought to life through curses, blaming, gossips, accusations and punishment. But every one is brought to life through blessings, encouragement, affirmations, praises, rewards and forgiveness.

女孩子很难知道的件事

(1)当一个孤独的男孩经常对你厣厣一笑时,他已经喜欢上你了
　　
(2)每次和你在一起的时候,他会很沉默,明明牵着你的手,却一会看天一会看云,你会认为他不喜欢你,错了,此时他眼里只有你,只是他习惯了一个人的感觉.
　
(3)当你在也受不住沉默的时候,你提出分手.他没有忧郁一刻便答应了,你认为他是真的不爱你,错了,他只要幸福快乐,满足你所有欲望,所以宁可忍痛退出.
　　
(4)他答应以后,便故作一点也不在乎的,漫无经心的走掉了,但是你永远也不会知道他心里是多么难过,也许这是他真的知道世界上有一种感觉叫欲哭无泪.
　　
(5)分手后,他每次走过你身边,都会显得更无所谓,但是你不会知道,当你转身只后,他会静静望着你的背影偷偷留泪
　　.
(6)就在你终于知道他是多么爱你并且你也仍爱着他的情况下,你去他的廎室找他,推开门,他正在椅在床上默默叹气,你走进她他,他却顾也不顾的一把把你抱住,你笑了,这时却觉得衣襟湿湿的,你永远也不会知道,你的这个笑容,是他用多少不绵的泪夜换来的.
　　

我的愛情。

你以為愛情是什麼？
一點點的動心，
一點點的衝動，
一個擁抱一個吻？ 天真的孩子們是不是日/韓劇看太多了？

當雙方是朋友時，你都會覺得她/他什麼都很好，很好聊，很高笑，哄的你很開心，興趣和年齡差不多也一樣，重要的是她/他很帥，很美。
（但是最重的是大家還很新鮮。）

再加上身邊的的朋友或家裏人有一部分已有男女朋友，突然自己覺很寂寞或很空虛。真的很羨慕哦！心裏問為什不可以有一個？

朋友，
愛，絕對不是缺了就找，更不是累了就換。 它不是即食面！


當雙方答應要做情侶，承諾已經出現。幾個月裏，雙方還很恩愛，甜蜜，因為還很新鮮，其實雙方都還沒了解真正的對方。

幾個月後，你就會覺得為什麼你和以前不一樣？難道你變jor?
在幾個月後，你會問：為什麼你會這樣對我？為什麼你變成這樣？
在幾個月後，既然大家都不和，我們分手啦！

一句話，我們不夾，分手啦！（現在還流行這對白嗎？）
（為何會分手，可能大家都覺得很膩？不新鮮了）

分手後，自己安慰的說，新的不去，就得怎麼回來？（哈哈哈）

朋友你要換到幾時啊·？你只是會換.
難道你沒錯？
你有沒有真正想過，為什麼我次次都是失敗？

爱一个人就是付出你的爱去爱她（他）你爱他（她）就会包容他，理解他，支持他，喜欢他，为他高兴，为他痛，为他分忧，又为他担忧，其实爱很复杂，并不是一言两语能解说的清，不要以为我懂的很多，其实我只是刚刚懂的一点皮毛而以。 得付出你的真心,这样才能让她感觉得到啊 。区别一下爱他（她)还是爱自己，很多人其实是在爱自己，爱自己的感觉、爱自己得到对方的荣誉感、爱自己被对方欣赏的满足感、爱自己被别人羡慕的虚荣、爱自己从对方得到的生理满足。 这不是爱 ！

五樣好東西

>> 五樣好東西>>> 因緣際會下，看到一位名吳寶芬講師的健康講座報導，她贏得滿堂喝采下，是抽絲剝繭地打破一般人根深蒂固的錯誤飲食觀念。>>> 為一改前非，將筆記好好整理一番！> 五樣好東西是：>>> 1. 睡前喝豆漿、(soya bean> milk before sleep)>> 睡前喝豆漿：豆漿富含100%的優質胺基酸，可製造充分的生長激素，促進身體的新陳代謝，消耗體內多餘的醣份和脂肪，所以睡前喝豆漿，有減肥的的效果，這就是「胺基酸減肥法」，又叫「懶人減肥法」。>>> 此外，大豆富含異黃酮素（天然的雌激素），可降低血液中的膽固醇，保護心臟，預防心肌梗塞，所以女生得心血管疾病的機率只有男生的?> 誘壑坐@，異黃酮素並可抑制人體鈣質的流失，還可預防與基因遺傳有關的乳癌與腸癌，因此睡前喝上一杯250cc的豆漿，冷熱甜淡隨意，可讓您有一個好睡眠、好體質。>>> 但是現在市面上的黃豆有80％是基因改造的，目前基因改造的食品對人體的影響如何還未可知，購買非基因改造豆漿，建議購買無防腐劑喔，睡前喝比早上喝的效益更大。>>> 2.. 吃水果比吃蔬菜好 (fruits are> better than vegetables)>>> 吃水果比吃蔬菜好：當個「好色之徒」吧，吃水果要選香的，顏色鮮豔的，含有大量松脂，多吃對身體有益。且吃水果比吃蔬菜好，松脂成分可抗壓，如芒果要選土芒果，葡萄要吃紫葡萄，西瓜選無子大紅西瓜，蜜瓜選綠色的，哈蜜瓜要選肉色的，水果中以榴璉的松脂居第一。然今後別再吃西柚因會抑制肝的解毒！>>> 3. 綠茶效益勝過水 (green tea is> better than plain water)>>> 建議喝綠茶來代替水和紅茶，因水帶不走身上不好的物質，紅茶為已發酵的熟茶，因此綠茶優於紅茶，多喝綠茶可以降低巴金森，且綠茶含兒茶素，能保護關節軟骨緩解疼痛。另外，泡過後無味的綠茶包，可用來擦過敏的皮膚跟濕疹唷！>>> 4. 天天來杯咖啡吧 (a daily> coffee is good for you)>>> 喝咖啡選阿拉伯豆：每天一杯咖啡，喝咖啡的好處是咖啡可抑制多巴胺L-Dopa，預防老化、巴金森氏症、防癌，咖啡會活化大腦命令四肢時所需要的傳導物，年老以後身手較為協調，壞處是喝咖啡會流失鈣與一些維他命。>>> 懷孕前三個月禁喝，因易流產> 。此外，喝咖啡要選阿拉伯豆，不是爪哇豆，豆子要新鮮，放久了會產生黃麴毒素。>>> 5. 將癌細胞改邪歸正的蕃薯 (sweet potato> can get away the cancel cells)>>> 蕃薯導正病變細胞：蕃薯含神經節肝酯，能導正病變細胞；且蕃薯可以減肥，因為其澱粉是水溶性纖維，不會囤積體內。>>> 蕃薯的甜味是多醣，對人體有益，比吃飯更有飽足感，建議一週可用一餐蕃薯代替飯來吃。蕃薯愈紅愈甜愈好，烤的比水煮和蒸的好，且烤後連皮一起吃更好。>> 專作放射線之醫師，認為『微波爐』會利用電波少一個正價電子，運用水分子之震盪使食物變熱，所以食物易變成自由基，就會容易致癌。所以偶而方便用一下，最好還是少用『微波爐』最好！>>> 以下文章值得參考>> 人體內的有毒物質主要來源於兩個途徑：一是大氣與水源中的污染物、通過呼吸及進餐而侵入人體內，鉛、鋁、汞等重金屬就是其代表；另一個是食物在體內代謝後的廢物，如自由基、硫化氫等。時下，清除體內垃圾已成健康時尚。>>> 以下方法可幫您及時清除體內毒素。>>> 1. 主動咳嗽法: (proactive> cough)> 自然界中的粉塵、金屬微粒及廢氣中的毒性物質，通過呼吸進入肺臟，既損害肺臟，又通過血液迴圈而!株連'全身。借助主動咳嗽可以'清掃'肺臟。每天到室

At The Shopping Centre

Last Saturday my friends took me to the Sungai Wang. We went there by Metro Bus 191.
Oh my god, it was crowded with a lot of people. Well Chinese New Year (CNY) is around the corner, a lot of people were busy choosing and buying things, especially clothes. Body Glove has a special discount for the clothes, (RM50= 2 T-shirt) because CNY coming soon .. Yeah... ^^
After that we went to Madam Wong Restaurant having launch. I love there, the place is clean and the food nice, nice, nice, really nice. We spent 8 hours in there. crazy huh, as long as we enjoy shopping.Shopping is lady natural, right? ^^
Around 9pm we took a bus home.
I love this day. hahaha

Do you agree that women too play important and challenging roles in this modern world?

From my opinion, yes i agree. The women of these days are not only full time housewives anymore. Most of them are independent and are educated. They are standing side by side with men to bring process to their families and country. Thus women play the important role in family at present.

A family is the basic institution to form a dynamic and progressive society. The role of woman as a mother and wife is very important and cannot be neglected. Most of the children are close to their mother where their mothers bring them up. To educate them into useful individuals, mother must show good values and ought to guide children religiously. Furthermore as a wife, they must treat and respect their husband well and share some time to communicate with each other too.

Majority of the women are a modern lady. They try to get highest level of education obtain jobs like men and hold top post to be financially stable, so they can have more comfortable environment for their family members and better education for their children.

Nowadays we cannot deny that women play important and challenging roles in modern world.

星期五。雨后

一场猛烈的暴风雨刚过，天空只留下一片片的小云，浮在蔚蓝的天空。雨后路上积满了雨水，走起路来，真的有点不便。天空吐出一条彩虹，回想起我的童年。童年的时光真的很快乐，很单纯，没有烦恼，没有负担，有的只懂吃喝玩乐，吃了就睡，做功课，看自己喜欢的电视节目。很开心，很快乐。随着年龄增长，负担多了，责任也增加不少。上了学院，功课和科目都越来越多，令我喘不过气。哈哈哈哈！有时真的很想放弃，可是到了最后这念头都会消失。原因可能是家人吧！^^.
放心吧，我会努力的·
加油！↖(^ω^)↗

有人说漂亮的女生在求职，升职，加薪水都比普通样貌的人更快更顺利，是真的吗？你觉得呢？？？

现在社会只要你懂得打扮，做的，说的，捱的！不怕辛苦。成功只有40%，

（伯乐）有人欣赏你的实力，成功只有40%，20%就靠运气咯。
不是每一样东西都是100%
这个世界没有简单的东西，只有懒惰的人。机会是留给做好准备的人。老板有眼看，谁做的，不做的，他、她会知道的。但是不是每个老板都是这样的。做人要懂得处事得体，看风使船。
