GOD IS GOOD

People who lived in the past are healthier than now for they always walked barefoot. They walked not in the smooth road. We know that the nerves in our sole connect to crucial organs in our body. When we step on in the rough way or in the stones, the nerves in our sole directly connect to the organs ion our body. It is good for the work of the organs. It is like an exercise. It makes us healthier.

It is as same as what happen in our life. If everything is smooth and everything is alright. It will be hurt if someday we find the trouble. It will be hurt if someday we walk in the stones. Many stones in this life, stone of financial, stone of health, stone of job, stones of relationship, etc. So often these stones make us away from God.

We don’t understand God make the stones to our life as exercise for our faith to Him. If we have been get used to walk in stones, we will be strong in our faith to Him. Our health will be healthier than before. It’s easy to say God is God when everything is ok. Meanwhile, it is difficult to say God is Good when everything turns around from our expectation. But, we should say God is good in every seasons in our life because he keep on holding our hands to walk the stones.

Thank you Jesus for making me stronger through the stones in my life.

Habakkuk 3:17-19:

¹⁷Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls:

¹⁸Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation.

¹⁹The LORD God is my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds' feet, and he will make me to walk upon mine high places. To the chief singer on my stringed instruments.

FATHER AND DAUGHTER

Father is the first man in daughter life. A figure of a father represent the figure of a man in common. The characters of a father influence his daughter emotionally.

Is there a perfect father?

There’s no perfect father because no body is perfect. There are daughters who never meet their father. There are daughters who get many wounds emotionally because of their father deed. There are daughters who doesn’t get proper attention from their father.There are daughters who have warm loving care from their father.

There’s a woman whom i ever met said,” I saw my father have an affair since i was 13 years old. My mother knows it but she can not do anything. I don’t have a good communication with my brothers. They are egoistic. And, my relationship with men always ended. Now, I only have a relationship with a woman.”

There’s a woman whom i ever met said,” My father is a member of a church choir. But, since I was a child, I saw him hurt my mother physically. I was sad and cried when I saw him hurt my mother. I had better went to club than seeing it”

There are some women who drop on drugs, free sex and prostitution. For some of them, the first thing they complain is about their fathers behavior. They questioned, ”Did you ever love me, Dad?”

Fatherless Country

There’s a mother day in Indonesia , there’s also a father day in western countries. But, there’s no father day in Indonesia . I don’t know why???

My father for me.

I don’t communicate intensively with my father, but one thing that I will always remember, that is my father advice. When I was 16 years old, my father ever said, ”You may have relationship with any man but don’t ever sleep with him before he marry you! If you break this, you are not my daughter anymore and Get out of my house!”

I know people will think that my father is too strict, so interfering, old fashioned, etc. But, I know he said that because I’m precious for him.

We can not choose in what family we will be born and we can not choose who will be our father. Is he a good man or no? Whatever our father, whatever he do, accept him whatever he is because there’s no ex – father, there are only ex- boy and ex-girl. When we never see a good father in our life, we can see Our Father. He is the Father who always care for us and he has never ended love for us.

The messages for all fathers

You will eat the fruit of your labor;
blessings and prosperity will be yours.
³ Your wife will be like a fruitful vine
within your house;
your children will be like olive shoots
around your table.
⁴ Yes, this will be the blessing
for the man who fears the LORD.(Psalm 128 : 2-4)

Fathers,^[a] do not embitter your children, or they will become discouraged. ( colossians 3:21)

Happy Fathers day!

JUST FOR FUN

Homonym is a word with the same spelling or sound as another, but different meaning. There’s an Indonesian boy who doesn’t speak English. He only knows a few words in English, that is I’m sorry, thank you, happy, number one until ten.

One day, he got in a bus. There was a foreigner in the bus as well. This boy was not in purpose to step on the foreigner’s foot.

“Auchhh…!” responded the foreigner.

“I’m sorry, Sir,” said the boy.

“It’s ok. I’m sorry too,” replied the foreigner with smilling.

“I’m sorry there,” said the boy again.

The foreigner frowned his forehead and said “What are you sorry for?”

“I’m sorry five,” said the boy again.

This boy thought the foreigner said apology by counting the number.
