i was stumbled with this sentence some days ago. sia teketawa mula2 tgk ni ayat... tapi pikir-pikir balik... hmm butul juga kan? we trust the Lord but we have to lock our car. it doesnt mean that we don't have faith or trust in Him... but He oredi sent someone to help us by creating the car key system so we can protect our car kan? so why we have to bother Him to stand beside our car to protect it.
and that's how God work on us... He works mysteriously and always give the best for us. it was us who always blame Him when things are not work according to our way. i remember a story - A religious old man is on top of a roof during a great flood. A man comes by in a boat and says "get in, get in!" The religous old man replies, " no I have faith in God, he will grant me a miracle."Later the water is up to his waist and another boat comes by and the guy tells him to get in again. He responds that he has faith in god and god will give him a miracle. With the water at about chest high, another boat comes to rescue him, but he turns down the offer again cause "God will grant him a miracle."With the water at chin high, a helicopter throws down a ladder and they tell him to get in, mumbling with the water in his mouth, he again turns down the request for help for the faith of God. He arrives at the gates of heaven with broken faith and says to Peter, I thought God would grand me a miracle and I have been let down." St. Peter chuckles and responds, "I don't know what you're complaining about, we sent you three boats and a helicopter."
we are always like that poor old man kan? we feel that God never cares for us for putting so much problems and He seems like 'never' grant us anything that we asked Him. but we fail to realise that He had done so much. i believe there are angels among us, sent down to us from somewhere up above.They come to you and me in our darkest hours.To show us how to live, to teach us how to give.To guide us with a light of love.When life held troubled times, and had me down on my knees.Theres always been someone there to come along and comfort me.A kind word from a stranger, to lend a helping hand.A phone call from a friend, just to say I understand.And aint it kind of funny that at the dark end of the road.Someone lights the way with just a single ray of hope. They wear so many faces, show up in the strangest places.To guide us with their mercy, in our time of need. and I believe they were sent by God.
so... i think the best way to appreciate what He had done to us is we appreciate all that we have now. we never appreciate something that we have until its gone kan? say something nice to your love ones. call your mom and dad to ask how they are. assume that today is the last day you live, so what will you do to fill your 'last day'? do have this thnking every morning just before you day your ,morning parayer... then you will appreciate your life more and remember, always remember... TRUST GOD BUT LOCK YOUR CAR.

misti baca....
an elderly lady who went to her young pastor to plan her funeral arrangements. The woman listed her choice of hymns, Scripture selections, and exactly what outfit she wanted to wear in her open casket. The pastor, smiling, took careful notes.
"There's one more thing," the lady said.
"What is it, Mrs. Davis?" the pastor asked. "I'll do whatever i can to honour your wishes."
"I want you to make sure that the funeral home takes care of one final arrangement," she said, tapping her cane on the floor for emphasis. "I want them to put me in my casket with a silver fork in my hand" "A fork?"the pastor repeated.
"yes" she said. "A sterling silver dessert fork. and when everyone comes and looks in the casket to pay thier respects, and they say, 'why in the world does she have a dessert fork in her hand?' I want you to tell them a reason why."
"And what might that reason be?" the pastor asked, scratching his head.
The elderly woman smiled. "Son, when i was young, my parents told me to eat up my dinner because the best part of the meal was yet to come.we always looked forward to dessert, knowing it would be sweet. So, I want you to tell people that I was buried with dessert fork in my hand because I knew that after this life comes the sweetest part of all. Tell them I knew that by God's grace, the best is yet to come!"
well, that's a simple story that i read from a book. God never said that life will be easy, but He did promise a safe journey.... we were born to die kan?

actually i was just completed reading a book titled: finding the love of my life by Denise Jackson... she wrote the books about her husband, Alan Jackson, a famous country singer. And surprisingly, there were still a few people that we call celebrity who are really care about their family and stick to a woman for more than 25 years of mariagge. eventhough he has succeded in his industry, his album sold more than 50 millions copies in US alone, he still marry once and that marriage is still strong after 25 years. The book not only tell us about their marriage but also tell us what God has done to them.
"i dont know where you are on you journey of faith. Maybe you're at the steering wheel of your life's car. Maybe Jesus is in the backseat, or the passanger seat, and you're realizing that you need to ask Him to take the wheel. Or maybe Jesus isn't even in your car, but He's by the side of the road, calling out to you that there is danger ahead"
