What Love means to a 4-8 year old . . .

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Slow down for three minutes to read this. It is so worth it. Touching words from the mouth of babys.
A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds, 'What does love mean?'
The answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined. See what you think.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

'Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your French fries without making them give you any of theirs.'
Chrissy - age 6


'When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint her toenails anymore.
So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That's love.'
Rebecca- age 8


'When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different.
You just know that your name is safe in their mouth.'
Billy - age 4


'Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other.'
Karl - age 5


'Love is what makes you smile when you're tired.'
Terri - age 4


'Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK.'
Danny - age 7


'Love is when you kiss all the time. Then when you get tired of kissing, you still want to be together and you talk more.
My Mommy and Daddy are like that. They look gross when they kiss'
Emily - age 8


'Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen.'
Bobby - age 7 (Wow!)


'If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate,'
Nikka - age 6
(we need a few million more Nikka's on this planet)


'Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it everyday.'
Noelle - age 7


'Love is like a little old woman and a little old man who are still friends even after they know each other so well.'
Tommy - age 6
(LOVE THIS ONE…hehehe)


'During my piano recital, I was on a stage and I was scared. I looked at all the people watching me and saw my daddy waving and smiling.
He was the only one doing that. I wasn't scared anymore.'
Cindy - age 8


'My mommy loves me more than anybody
You don't see anyone else kissing me to sleep at night.'
Clare - age 6


'Love is when Mommy gives Daddy the best piece of chicken.'
Elaine-age 5


'Love is when Mommy sees Daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he is handsomer than Robert Redford.'
Chris - age 7


'Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day.'
Mary Ann - age 4


'I know my older sister loves me because she gives me all her old clothes and has to go out and buy new ones.'
Lauren - age 4


'When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out of you.' (what an image)
Karen - age 7


'Love is when Mommy sees Daddy on the toilet and she doesn't think it's gross.'
Mark - age 6


'You really shouldn't say 'I love you' unless you mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget.'
Jessica - age 8

-------------------
|And the final one|
-------------------
The winner was a four year old child whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife. Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman's yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there. When his Mother asked what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy said, 'Nothing, I just helped him cry'


When there is nothing left but God, that is when you find out that God is all you need. Take 60 seconds and give this a shot! All you do is simply say the following small prayer for the person who sent you this.
dear God, please bless all my friends in whatever it is that You know they may be needing this day! And may their life be full of Your peace, prosperity and power as he/she seeks to have a closer relationship with You. Amen.

Tidak Menangis Waktu Aku Kalah

"Aku berdoa supaya aku tidak menangis waktu aku kalah...."

Suatu ketika, ada seorang anak yang sedang mengikuti sebuah lomba mobil balap mainan. Suasana sungguh meriah siang itu, sebab ini adalah babak final. Hanya tersisa 4 orang sekarang dan mereka memamerkan setiap mobil mainan yang dimiliki. Semuanya buatan sendiri,sebab memang begitulah peraturannya.

Ada seorang anak bernama Mark. Mobilnya tak istimewa, namun ia termasuk dalam 4 anak yang masuk final. Dibanding semua lawannya, mobil Mark-lah yang paling tak sempurna. Beberapa anak menyangsikan kekuatan mobil itu untuk berpacu melawan mobil lainnya. Yah, memang, mobil itu tak begitu menarik. Dengan kayu yang sederhana dan sedikit lampu kedip di atasnya, tentu tak sebanding dengan hiasan mewah yang dimiliki mobil mainan lainnya. Namun, Mark bangga dengan itu semua, sebab, mobil itu buatan tangannya sendiri.

Tibalah saat yang dinantikan. Final kejuaraan mobil balap mainan.

Setiap anak mulai bersiap di garis start, untuk mendorong mobil mereka kencang-kencang. Di setiap jalur lintasan, telah siap 4 mobil, dengan 4 pembalap" kecilnya. Lintasan itu berbentuk lingkaran dengan 4 jalur terpisah di antaranya. Namun, sesaat kemudian, Mark meminta waktu sebentar sebelum lomba dimulai. Ia tampak berkomat-kamit seperti sedang berdoa.

Matanya terpejam, dengan tangan bertangkup memanjatkan doa. Lalu, semenit kemudian, ia berkata, "Ya, aku siap!". Dor!!! Tanda telah dimulai. Dengan satu hentakan kuat, mereka mulai mendorong mobilnya kuat-kuat. Semua mobil tu pun meluncur dengan cepat. Setiap orang bersorak-sorai, bersemangat, menjagokan mobilnya masing-masing.

"Ayo..ayo... cepat..cepat, maju..maju", begitu teriak mereka. Ahha...sang pemenang harus ditentukan, tali lintasan finish pun telah terlambai.

Dan...

Mark-lah pemenangnya. Ya, semuanya senang, begitu juga Mark. Ia berucap, dan berkomat-kamit lagi dalam hati. "Terima kasih."

Saat pembagian piala tiba. Mark maju ke depan dengan bangga. Sebelum piala itu diserahkan, ketua panitia bertanya.

"Hai jagoan, kamu pasti tadi berdoa kepada Tuhan agar kamu menang, bukan?"

Mark terdiam. "Bukan, Pak, bukan itu yang aku panjatkan" kata Mark.

Ia lalu melanjutkan, "Sepertinya, tak adil untuk meminta pada Tuhan untuk menolongku mengalahkan orang lain, aku, hanya bermohon pada Tuhan, supaya aku tak menangis, jika aku kalah."

Semua hadirin terdiam mendengar itu. Setelah beberapa saat, terdengarlah gemuruh tepuk-tangan yang memenuhi ruangan.

"... Ketika Tuhan bilang TIDAK.."

Ketika aku meminta, " Tuhan.. ambillah kesombongan dariku."
Dan Tuhan bilang, "Tidak",
Tuhan bilang, "bukan Aku yang mengambil tapi kau yang harus menyerahkannya."

Ketika aku meminta, " Tuhan.. sempurnakanlah kekurangan tubuhku." Dan Tuhan bilang, "Tidak",
Tuhan berkata, "Jiwa dan roh mu telah utuh, tubuhmu hanya sementara yang akan binasa.
Perhiasan batiniahmu yang terdiri dari keberadaan diri sejati, yaitu roh yang lemah lembut dan tenteram, itulah yang berharga di mata-Ku."

Ketika aku meminta, " Tuhan.. berikanlah aku kesabaran."

Dan Tuhan bilang, "Tidak",

Tuhan berkata, "Tidak, kesabaran didapat dari ketabahanmu ketika imanmu dicobai. Itu tidak diberikan, tetapi diraih."


Ketika aku meminta, " Tuhan.. beri aku kebahagiaan."

Dan Tuhan bilang, "Tidak",

Tuhan berkata, "Aku memberi berkat dan kasih karunia, tapi kebahagiaan tergantung pada pilihanmu sendiri untuk menghargai berkat dan anugrah-Ku itu."


Ketika aku meminta, " Tuhan.. jauhkan daripadaku kesusahan."

Dan Tuhan bilang, "Tidak",

Tuhan berkata, "Penderitaan menjauhkanmu dari jerat duniawi dan membawamu lebih dekat kepada-Ku."


Ketika aku meminta, " Tuhan.. berikanlah aku semua yang aku ingini dalam hidupku supaya aku bisa menikmatinya."

Dan Tuhan bilang, "Tidak",

Tuhan berkata, "Aku memberimu kehidupan supaya kamu menikmati semuanya."


Ketika aku meminta, " Tuhan.. bantu aku mencintai orang lain, sebesar cinta-Mu padaku."

Dan Tuhan bilang, "Tidak",

Tuhan berkata, "Akhirnya kau mengerti."
Berbahagialah bila doa-doamu belum dijawab karena mata TUHAN sedang tertuju padamu untuk memberikan kepadamu yang terbaik yang belum kamu ketahui dan tidak pernah kamu pikirkan sebelumnya, sehingga pada saat kamu diberkati oleh-Nya bibir dan mulutmu tidak akan berhenti bersyukur dan memuji kebesaran nama -Nya......

Hal yang paling menyedihkan dalam hidup adalah ketika kamu akhirnya melepaskan IMAN percayamu kepada TUHAN, meninggalkan ibadahmu, menjauhkan diri dari aktivitas yang berkaitan dengan IMAN mu, bahkan tanpa kamu sadari semua hal yang berkaitan dengan Iman kau anggap sejajar dengan ambisi duniawimu, dan pergi melakukan apa yang kau sukai demi kebahagiaan dirimu sendiri yang hanya sementara.
Hal yang paling menyedihkan adalah ketika lawan jenis, bisnis, harta duniawi, kedudukan, dan segala bentuk apapun yang berhubungan dengan kepentingan diri sendiri..
lebih menarik hatimu daripada TUHAN, sehingga kamu melakukan apa yang jahat di mata TUHAN, dengan tidak sepenuh hati mengikuti dan berpaut kepada Tuhan, Allahmu.

To The Ends of The Earth

To The Ends of The Earth
by Bobby Michaels

Everybody sees the same sun, moon and stars above
Every corner of creation needs to know God's Love
We who have found Him are called to tell the story
To every nation for the Father's name and glory

Take the message of redemption
To the people everywhere
Let them they have a Savior
There is hope in every prayer
Give them bread and the living water, for their hunger and their thirst
Take the gospel to the ends of the earth

Everybody need to hear it, every heart and soul
Jesus gave HIS life to save us, story must be told
But how can the world believe the truth they've never heard
How will they hear unless we go into the world
God loves the world so much, that He gave His only Son That all who believe in Him, will be saved

This song reminds me of you. We sing this song only a few times. But this is the first and only song that we both like.
Can't say much. If I try to say much, my tears will flowing from my eyes. And the memories will flashing back and come to foreground.
I still cant overcome how we got separated. Trying my best though, to grant you the happiness you seek in your life..

To you all, this song is not just a reminder. Its even not it.
This song encourage us to do exactly what this song wants us to.
Read it carefully..

May you all feel the bless..

As a Joke or Reality?

=*=
Ah Beng : Why are all these people running?
Man: This is a race, the winner will get the cup
Ah Beng : If only the winner will get the cup, why others running?
=*=

After reading this joke, after I laugh to this joke, I started thinking.
Sometimes in life, we easily don't care about our life. We just looking for the shortest path and easiest path, and thinking, "The result are just the same, why should I put more effort in this?"
I was like that, and currently still have that thoughts in a few things.

Well for as long as I know, life is about process. It isn't about the result, but how much effort you put to get the result.
The result are the same, but people will have the different response while doing the process. I have done the research for this theory (if we could say that so). I have seen many people doing the same thing, the same task, in their own way, they got finished at the different time, and they do the task in the different way, their own way.

GOD take notice on your effort. Don't give up. GOD wants us to learn to optimize our ability. HE already know the result, even before you think about it.

Bill Gates's Philosophy




















*Rule 1 :* Life is not fair -- get used to it!

*Rule 2 :* The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.

*Rule 3 :* You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both.

*Rule 4 :* If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss.

*Rule 5 :* Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your Grandparents had a different word for burger flipping: they called it opportunity.

*Rule 6 :* If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them.

*Rule 7 :* Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you thought you were. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parent's generation, try delousing the closet in your own room.

*Rule 8 :* Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life HAS NOT. In some schools, they have abolished failing grades and they'll give you as MANY TIMES as you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.

*Rule 9 :* Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you FIND YOURSELF. Do that on your own time.

*Rule 10 :* Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.

*Rule 11 :* Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.

Belajar mencintai seseorang yang tidak sempurna dengan cara yang sempurna


Ketika kita bertemu orang yang tepat untuk dicintai, ketika kita berada di tempat pada saat yang tepat,
Itulah kesempatan.
Ketika kita bertemu dengan seseorang yang membuatmu tertarik, Itu bukan pilihan, itu kesempatan. Bertemu dalam suatu peristiwa bukanlah pilihan, Itupun adalah kesempatan.
Bila kita memutuskan untuk mencintai orang tersebut,
Bahkan dengan segala kekurangannya, Itu bukan kesempatan, itu adalah pilihan. Ketika kita memilih bersama dengan seseorang walaupun apapun yang terjadi,
Itu adalah pilihan. Bahkan ketika kita menyadari bahwa
masih banyak orang lain Yang lebih menarik, lebih pandai, lebih kaya daripada pasanganmu Dan tetap memilih untuk mencintainya, Itulah pilihan.
Perasaan cinta, simpatik, tertarik, Datang bagai kesempatan pada kita. Tetapi cinta sejati yang abadi adalah pilihan. Pilihan yang kita lakukan. Berbicara
tentang pasangan jiwa,
Ada suatu kutipan dari film yang mungkin tepat :

"Nasib membawa kita bersama, tetapi tetap bergantung pada kita bagaimana
membuat semuanya berhasil"

Soumate bisa benar-benar ada. Dan bahkan mungkin ada seseorang yang diciptakan hanya untukmu. Tetapi tetap kembali lagi pada diri kita masing-masing untuk melakukan pilihan apakah kita ingin melakukan sesuatu untuk mendapatkannya, atau tidak... Kita mungkin kebetulan bertemu soulmate kita,
Tetapi mencintai dan tetap bersama pasangan jiwa kita, adalah pilihan yang harus kita lakukan. Kita ada di dunia bukan untuk mencari seseorang yang sempurna untuk dicintai, TETAPI untuk belajar mencintai orang yang tidak sempurna dengan cara yang sempurna.

Masing - masing orang mempunyai kekagumannya masing - masing, tapi satu hal yang saya pelajari dari kehidupan ini, "hidup adalah pilihan".
Apa yang akan terjadi di masa depan kita, sebagian besar ditentukan saat ini. Ditentukan oleh kita sendiri.

Buat saya, saat ini, perubahan dalam hidup haruslah kearah yang lebih baik. Karena ketika kita sudah dihadapkan dengan cermin dan kita diberi kesempatan untuk bercermin. Lihat baik-baik noda yang ada, segera bersihkan noda itu. Perbaiki semua kesalahan masa lalu kita, satu persatu.

Cinta, mencintai, dicintai, jatuh cinta, semua yang ada korelasinya dengan cinta, adalah salah satu bagian dari pilihan dalam hidup yang kita jalani saat ini.

Pilihan adalah realitas, realitas adalah kehidupan.

Selamat menjalani kehidupan dan cinta.



Live your life to the fullest.

The light in your eyes


There is a light in your eyes,
but it is too bright to see, 
and,
A place in my heart where you used to be.
I guess, I was wrong to believe you were
waiting for me.
Because,

There is a light in your eyes,
but it is not for me

Future Tense

Teacher: "I killed a person". Convert this sentence into future
tense.
Ah Beng : The future tense is "u will go to jail"
