Lessons in Life

Attending my grandmother's funeral taught me a lot of lessons in life.

First: I learned that we need to save for our future including money for our funeral and related stuffs. If we failed to do it, our loved one will not only grieve for their lost, but also will suffer stress because of the financial responsibilities we left them such as payment for burial, unpaid debt and so forth.

Second: we need to hold a reunion while our folks are still alive. We do not want to have the reunion done only after they die.

Third: what is done, can never be undone. So, before you say something, think it ten times or you might regret what you've said.

Four: if you want to say something to certain person, say it directly to her/him.

Fifth: gossip, don't pass it on!

These are lessons in life that we sometimes forget or neglect to do. Let us not forget these things, for by so doing...our life's challenges would be very much easier to handle. Don't you agree?

What is a Home?

"Home is a haven against the storm and struggles of life. Spirituality is born and nurtured by a daily prayers, scripture study, home gospel discussions and related activities, home evenings, family councils, working and playing together, serving each other and sharing the gospel with those around us. Spirituality is also nurtured in our actions of patience, kindness and forgiveness toward each other and in our applying gospel principles in the family circle."
~~Spencer W. Kimball~~

I truly believe that this is true. We can make our homes a haven here on earth through diligent effort of applying the principles mentioned by Pres. Kimball as an individual and as a family. In my opinion this is the time to act and not to be acted upon; time to make wise decision for ourselves and our loved one and ask God for guidance.

Peace in the World

If there is righteousness in the heart there will be beauty in the character.

If there be beauty in the character, there will be harmony in the house.

If there is harmony in the home, there will be order in the nation.

When there is order in the nation, there will be peace in the world.

Confucius (551-479 BC)

I totally believe on this.For the peace to achieve by a nation, it should start at home. As parents, it is our responsibility to nourish them with good word and works. Setting a good example is the way to do it. And by so doing we will achieve peace and happiness in the world we live in.

I love this kind of stuffs

I grabbed these from a friend of mine at church. These are not only pretty as decorations, but also inspirational.

I just wished I have these in my home to look at and enjoy! Maybe someday :-) Aren't they cute?
