Giving....

How tired I am Lord,

You said in Acts 20:35 that it is more blessed to give than receive,

But sometimes too much of giving really drains me out,

And I learnt that giving takes patience as well,

And being patient is somewhat hard though I strive to be,

God, As humans we have emotions,

At most times, I suppress my emotions so that this could not affect others,

Whenever I recalled what You said that we should try to make peace with everyone, I tune my anger off,

I learnt to be slow in anger just like You Lord,

But God, sometimes people just don't understand...I wonder how many times I should tune off the anger??? It really test my patience to the max...

That's why I do really salute You Lord, cox You are extremely a patient God,

Like the Valentine story below, You said : "You may not know me, but I know everything about You... "

This shows Your love that You gave, though not many knew Your love, You still

choose to love them...

And this shows the exact meaning of GIVING....

This truly shows Your great Love, as well Your patience,

But God, I truly cannot be that patient just like You, I do have a limit though...

Sometimes I think that Life may be much more easier by becoming a bad person,

However, forgive me for thinking like that God, is just a slipped of mind,

Nevertheless, please do sustain me...and most of all teach me to give appropriately,

Yes Lord, thanks for listening and reading...:)

A Love beyond our comprehension...

A Love Story

This devotional was written by Jim Liebelt

I trust in God's unfailing love, for ever and ever.
—Psalm 52:8b

Around Valentine's Day most people think about love. With all of the media hype, even people who aren't in love, think about love! Here, however, is a great story (author unknown) about the depths of real love; a love that goes far beyond romance; and a love that is instructive to all!

"It was a busy morning, about 8:30 a.m., when an elderly gentleman in his 80's arrived to have stitches removed from his thumb. He stated that he was in a hurry as he had an appointment at 9:00 a.m. I took his vital signs and had him take a seat knowing it would be over an hour before someone would be able to see him.

I saw him looking at his watch and decided since I was not busy with another patient that I would evaluate his wound. It had healed well, so I talked to one of the doctors and got the needed supplies to remove his stitches. While taking care of the wound we began a conversation.

I asked him if he had another doctor's appointment that morning as he was in such a hurry. He told me no, but that he needed to go to the nursing home to eat breakfast with his wife. I then inquired about her health. He told me that she had been in the nursing home for awhile and that she had Alzheimer's disease. As we talked, I asked him if she would be worried if he was a bit late. He replied that she no longer knew who he was and that she had not recognized him in five years. I was surprised, and asked him why he was still going every morning to visit his wife even though she didn't know who he is. He smiled and patted my hand and said, 'She doesn't know me but I still know who she is.'

I tried to hold back tears as he left – I had goose bumps on my arm – and I thought to myself, 'That is the kind of love I want in my life.'"

We all want to be loved in that kind of way – a love that remains strong and unchanged even when we don't recognize it! Thank God that He loves us in that same way! Though we may not recognize it, feel it, appreciate it or even take it for granted, God's love for us never changes! He is always there for us! And God's love for us sets the example of how we are to love others: our spouses, children, close friends, casual friends – and strangers alike.

May we be reminded of God's love and experience it in a new and fresh way – and pass that same kind of love on to the loved ones in your life!

Clarification..

Based on the previous entry regarding the minus mark thingy...is already settled it seems..is just that i was so lazy to place an entry regarding this matter..well i talked to the culprit that day, and it seems that the whole class' marks will not be deducted except for the main culprits la. So no worries...:)

Speechless..

Itz been some time since i have been blogging *properly*...haha...Things were havoc today during our Cancer Chemotherapy Tutorial..
Hmm....something *nice* happened today - my whole class marks got deducted 50% from our assignment.... How did it happen?? Thanks to some buffalo-headed person(s) who never take heed of Dr. Y's warning ( beratus ratus kali) on signing attendance for their buffalo-headed frenz....Well the class was pissed of actually but at d same time takut of Dr. Y...COx today Dr.Y's emotions exploded to the MAX....plus with me, Rach n Hoey Lin were sitting at the second row...felt like Hurricane Yeong just swept thru (managed to hold tight to my chair though*wink*)...
Well, one thing i learnt bout Dr. Y is about her counting(scary 1 to 10)...10 seconds were given to the buffalo to own up to his cheating business....her 10 seconds were like *too fast too furious*...in the end - NO ONE own up...so, she said " The whole class will be deducted 50% form the assignment"- this totally causes an uproar in the whole class...
Cancer Chemotherapy assignment, though it is 2 unit (which Dr.Y make it seems like 4 unit - her field ma*, it is so extremely difficult to reach up to her standard...confirm dead la this time....
Sikarang, the whole class no motivation to do good in the cancer assignment liao...summore we put so much sweat n blood n urine n shit on this report....
Another *good* news...is that the marks of those who did not wore formal during nursing home visit...thanks to the accidental capture of videos n pics taken by Ms. Lyna during the visit....well dun misunderstand that Ms Lyna did it purposely...its not her fault..She took the pics for our own memory..--However, Dr SYed spotted some sexy informal wear ppl during the visit...

To sum it all, we live in a place with difficult-lifting up to-her-Standards- society of pharmacy students of UCSI.


P:S: I salute Priya for opening up this matter ( attendance cheating) by sending email to the class gmail *except some xtreme harsh words she placed in*.. Well some ppl never learn ( this aims to the bunch of boys sitting on the left back row and the bunch of girls on the paling belakang punye kanan).sigh....
