It is Good to be Blessed

My parents keep saying that God found a dream job for me and a dream mate from the internet. They tell me to pray and thank God for my blessings. So, the internet is not full of tricksters or scammers but if you are lucky, you can find yourself a good deal - like my case of finding a perfect friend and boss. I have been working from home since 2004 and will continue to do so for a very long time to come, hopefully another 10 - 15 years to go before I retire and enjoy my golden years. It does not matter if one is a bankrupt or not, as long as he is willing to work hard and build his empire from scratch again with nothing down. Diligence is an important trait to look for in a soulmate.

It is Good to be a Christian

I do not want to talk about other religions, but my Christian faith has kept me going all this while - during times of stress, pressure, failure, etc. I guess I was brought up to be a tough person, able to handle stress especially as an undergraduate and while studying for my A levels in Singapore. I have had my share of set backs, but this did not stop me from pursuing my dreams and to bring food to the table for my family, especially my retired parents. It is good to be a Christian because there in hope in Jesus and an eternal life in heaven with my own mansion specially prepared for me. You can also enjoy the same benefits if you just accept Jesus into your lives and say the sinner's prayer.

7 Keys to Building a Character of Gratefulness

I attended church yesterday and the sermon notes are listed here in brief.

The 7 Keys to Building a Character of Gratefulness.

Begin with God.

Count your Benefits/Blessings.

Simplify expectations.

Adopt a forgiving perspective.

Identify your benefactors.

Make time to thank.

Express your thanks clearly and overtly - in words, deeds and gestures.

The Grace of God

I like to mention about the Grace of God in my life not to create resentment or jealousy but to expound on the goodness of our Heavenly Father. It was God's blessings that I found my job from the internet and have been gainfully employed from home since 2004 till now. The internet certainly holds many wonders and creates a lot of opportunities for ordinary people like me. Using my skills gleaned from learning and reading web sites, I am able to design a web site, edit photos using Photoshop and do much more with my humble laptop at home. And I never looked back since then.

Having a Blessed Life

I thank God every day for the little blessings that come along my way - protection from accidents especially when driving along the North-South Highway on the way to Kuala Lumpur or using the East-West Highway when travelling to Kelantan or the Karak Highway when going to Pahang. I also have more than enought to eat and enough money in my bank account. Also, I get to work at home, my dream job for a small sports surfacing company. I handle all the jobs to do with computers including updating the company website.
