Forgiveness

As we know that children can forgive people easily. I can use Norman as an perfect example. He won't keep his angry less than 2 minutes, though he'll scream or throw something if I don't give what he wants. But after that... he's stop and continue to play, it seemed like nothing happened.
But how about us?? Forgiveness is easy to speak, to teach and to preach but actually it does really hard to do it. I've through this many many times in my life, and I know that it's not only me who's been struggled with this. I believe that many people have the same problems.
Tonight, while I'm trying to sleep, I remember how God has forgiven me again, again and again, for what I've done. Why does He forgive me?? I believe that God knows if forgiveness is a hard part for us to do it. If He does it that because He has a reason. In the Bible, He's explained this many times. Forgiveness is not an option, but we need it. I remember how struggled I was to forgive people that whether they did it intentionally or not. But after I forgave and passed it, now I know why God teaches us to forgive and why we have to forgive.

First of all, forgiveness is come from inside you, you are the one that can decide to take away or keep it away. Even though you ask pastors to pray for you, but you are the key.

Forgiveness is a way to except someone by the way he is. We can't expect people to being perfect. Each person has weaknesses and we have to deal with it.

Forgiveness is helping us to continue our life. May be you feel hurt, but such feeling will not make your life stopped. You still have to do your work or job or responsibilities and taking care of your family and friends.

Forgiveness can make your soul more healthy.

Forgiveness can train you to be a tough and strong person. You can face various people in the world and work anywhere because you are used to forgive.

Forgiveness helps you to have a lot of friends.

Forgiveness is training your trust to someone that might be isn't worthed to be trusted.

Forgiveness can color your life to become more beautiful then what you think.

And Most of All, you have to forgive because forgive and love are walking together like what Jesus has been done. He forgives us because He loves us. If you cannot forgive, maybe you need to ask God to give you more love than you have before.

Jesus Bless You...

Thankful

This morning I went to the church and have been blessed by both the song and the sermon. We sang a song about how God helps us in every single time in our life, and without Him we can do nothing.

I look at Your face and cry out,
My help is only from You
Hold my hand and never let me go
Because You are God my savior

This song reminds me personally that only God can help me in every circumstances of my life, whether I am happy, sad, rich, poor, healthy, sick, certain, doubtful, disappointed, etc. The sermon itself is about "Thankful". Both the song and the sermon are somehow connected. My heart was broken when we were singing this song. Through this songs it seems that God is talking to me, that actually I can't face this world or every day with my own strength. If I can stand right now, that's only because He is standing next to me and holding my hand. Every morning that He gives is because His mercy and grace to me. I can have a beautiful son and great husband also because His mercy and grace.
Therefore, I just wanna say to my beloved God: "Thank you so much for helping me every time I need. May be I can forget You because of my weaknesses, but I now that You will never forget me and You will still there wait and open Your arms to hold and hug me. You are the God that give me strength and wonderful life."

Be Patient...

Norman now is 22 months. His vocabulary improving a lot and he can express what he feels more than before. I can see that he is much growing and bigger, in fact, I can call him a boy now, not a baby. It feels very good to see our kid growing like this.
What I want to share now is about Norman and his "bathroom" time. These days I feel so happy and proud to be a mom, because eventually Norman can tell me if he wants to go to bathroom, even while we are in walking time in our campus. I remember how frustrated I was when everyday he did his "bathroom" everywhere in our house even though I'd told him not to do so. Sometimes he wore diaper but mostly he didn't, except if we were going somewhere. I once thought that maybe he could does his bathroom when he is three but now he is still 22 months!! He's not even 1 year and he already do it!! I am surprised, for sure. When first time he said that he wanted to go to bathroom I almost jump. We quickly ran into the bathroom. After he did it, I hugged him and kissed him and gave him positive words that he is an excellent boy in the world!! It was an amazing time for me. Through that moment I can learn something that maybe I feel fail to teach him or got frustrated, but actually I just need sometimes and be patient to see the result of my teaching.
