Every Moment, THANK GOD!

I want to share positive things as much as possible in my blog and so when I am touched by a message or a sermon, I want to share it to all of you hoping that you will feel the same and get something that will help you in whatever situation you have right now in your life. This specific message was sent to me by one of my officemates in my country. Here it goes...

You will enjoy the new insights that Rick Warren has, with his wife now having cancer and him having 'wealth' from the book sales. This is an absolutely incredible short interview with Rick Warren, 'Purpose Driven Life ' author and pastor ofSaddleback Church in California..

In the interview by Paul Bradshaw with Rick Warren, Rick said:
People ask me, What is the purpose of life?
And I respond: In a nutshell, life is preparation for eternity. We were not made to last forever, and God wants us to be with Him in Heaven.

One day my heart is going to stop, and that will be the end of my body-- but not the end of me.
I may live 60 to 100 years on earth, but I am going to spend trillions of years in eternity. This is the warm-up act - the dress rehearsal. God wants us to practice on earth what we will do forever in eternity..

We were made by God and for God, and until you figure that out, life isn't going to make sense.
Life is a series of problems: Either you are in one now, you're just coming out of one, or you're getting ready to go into another one.
The reason for this is that God is more interested in your character than your comfort; God is more interested in making your life holy than He is in making your life happy.

We can be reasonably happy here on earth, but that's not the goal of life.. The goal is to grow in character, in Christ likeness.
This past year has been the greatest year of my life but also the toughest, with my wife, Kay, getting cancer.
I used to think that life was hills and valleys - you go through a dark time, then you go to the mountaintop, back and forth. I don't believe that anymore.

Rather than life being hills and valleys, I believe that it's kind of like two rails on a railroad track, and at all times you have something good and something bad in your life.
No matter how good things are in your life, there is always something bad that needs to be worked on.
And no matter how bad things are in your life, there is always something good you can thank God for.
You can focus on your purposes, or you can focus on your problems:
If you focus on your problems, you're going into self-centeredness, which is my problem, my issues, my pain..' But one of the easiest ways to get rid of pain is to get your focus off yourself and onto God and others.

We discovered quickly that in spite of the prayers of hundreds of thousands of people, God was not going to heal Kay or make it easy for her- It has been very difficult for her, and yet God has strengthened her character, given her a ministry of helping other people, given her a testimony, drawn her closer to Him and to people.

You have to learn to deal with both the good and the bad of life.
Actually, sometimes learning to deal with the good is harder. For instance, this past year, all of a sudden, when the book sold 15 million copies, it made me instantly very wealthy.
It also brought a lot of notoriety that I had never had to deal with before. I don't think God gives you money or notoriety for your own ego or for you to live a life of ease.

So I began to ask God what He wanted me to do with this money, notoriety and influence. He gave me two different passages that helped me decide what to do, II Corinthians 9 and Psalm 72.
First, in spite of all the money coming in, we would not change our lifestyle one bit.. We made no major purchases.
Second, about midway through last year, I stopped taking a salary from the church.

Third, we set up foundations to fund an initiative we call The Peace Plan to plant churches, equip leaders, assist the poor, care for the sick, and educate the next generation.

Fourth, I added up all that the church had paid me in the 24 years since I started the church, and I gave it all back. It was liberating to be able to serve God for free.

We need to ask ourselves: Am I going to live for possessions? Popularity?
Am I going to be driven by pressures? Guilt? Bitterness? Materialism? Or am I going to be driven by God's purposes (for my life)?

When I get up in the morning, I sit on the side of my bed and say, God, if I don't get anything else done today, I want to know You more and love You better. God didn't put me on earth just to fulfill a to-do list. He's more interested in what I am than what I do.
That's why we're called human beings, not human doings.

Happy moments, PRAISE GOD.
Difficult moments, SEEK GOD.
Quiet moments, WORSHIP GOD.
Painful moments, TRUST GOD.
Every moment, THANK GOD..

Faith

A friend of mine sent me this message. I like it so much, it uplift me and direct me to a better life and so I want to share it with all of you.

DAILY THOUGHT
A Classic Devotional from C. H. Mackintosh

To live by faith is to walk with God: to cling to Him; to lean on Him; to draw from His exhaustless springs; to find all our resources in Him; and to have Him as a perfect covering for our eyes and a satisfying object for our hearts—to know Him as our only resource in all difficulties, and in our trials.

Such is the life of faith. Let us see that we understand it. It must be a reality or nothing at all. It will not do to talk about the life of faith; we must live it; and in order to live it we must know God practically—know Him intimately, in the deep secret of our own souls. It is utterly vain and delusive to profess to be living by faith and looking to the Lord, while in reality our hearts are looking to some creature resource. How often do people speak and write about their dependence upon God to meet certain wants, and by the very fact of their making it known to a fellow-mortal they are, in principle, departing from the life of faith!

Kitchen Appliances

Kitchen appliances are extremely useful. Mothers specially the Kitchen lovers depend on these kitchen aid. Kitchen appliances could be big or small depending on what you need or maybe depends also on the area of your kitchen. Refrigerators are usually the number one appliance present in our kitchen because it is one of the most important. Again it will depend on what you like…it could be built-in or free standing which include the Top Freezer, Bottom Freezer, French Doors Side by side and compact . Built-in gives a classic elegant look while free standing is more economical but of course they both give excellent services to refrigerate our food. If you are in need to have one of these, Shopwiki is a good place to go. It will give you all the features as well as the buying guide to make your purchases easy as possible.

Another big kitchen appliance that we should have is the oven of course and it comes in many different styles and sizes. We have the single oven, double oven, single convection as well as the single convection---luxury. In buying ovens, same with refrigerators, we consider many characteristics. These includes fuel, conventional and convection, the sizes as well as the features. Again, you can go to Shopwiki for a best buy of this specific item.

Of course I will not forget the dishwashers. It is one of my bestfriends because it helped me a lot. We have many things to consider in buying this particular item and this has many features too so we have to becareful. We have to consider the wash tiers, more tiers are always better; we have to consider the noise…low-noise dishwasher is the excellent one; of course the speed and cycle, the style, rack configuration and many more….I will not forget the trash compactors. This help your meal clean-up too partnered with the dish washer.

Washer and Dryer are included as well in big appliances and like other kitchen appliances, they are a big help to all of us to make our household chores easier and fun. Big appliances assisted and keep on assisting us in our kitchen cleaning same with the small ones. Like the big one, small ones help us in many ways. I would like to mention Food Processors , Hand Mixers , Blenders and many more and they all do have their own purpose to help us keeping our household work enjoyable and easier.

Back in my country, when I was in high school, I remember, I have to stop what I am doing to be able to watch my favorite shows or sacrifice something to be able to catch up with my favorite tv programs. Sometimes, since we have limited access of channels, I have to go to my friends house and watch with them the tv program I wanted. It just felt bad that you can’t enjoy totally the television entertainment because of its confined access when it comes to ways, permission and control.

These days, it feels good that things are not the same with the old ways anymore. Through Direct TV , it will give you full authority, power and dominion with the tv programs you want.
