Streets of Gold in Heaven

In heaven, not only do you have gold bullion, but rather streets of solid gold and not streets that are gold-plated. Heaven is a very rich place with mansions built and prepared by Jesus for its loyal followers that have passed on. Life on earth is just a transition. Eventually all of us will have our eternal destiny upon death. For the Christians, they will eventually dwell in heaven, the best place ever with no more tears, sorrow or sickness or even aging. And you get to live here for eternity - which is a very long time. That's the advantage of being faithful Christians and we get our inheritance as children of God.

Busy But Very Happy!

I just finished doing a paid post and writing 2 articles for a total of RM66.50 (paid today) with opportunities that come almost every day in good times. This way, I can leverage on my 7 blogs with 2 blogs on my personal domain and the rest are blogspot blogs like this one. There are advantages to using each of them and I am beginning to love using Blogspot blogs for the fact that they are free and easy to add components or modules and to arrange them in a jiffy. God has been blessing me and continue to do so. That is why I am always grateful to our Heavenly Father for my well being and general good health to do the things I like.

Missed Church Last Week

Last week, my friend thought that our church was closed and no service as the entire team went to Cameron Highlands for a retreat. But it was the wrong date! The retreat was supposed to be end of this month on Merdeka Day or National Holiday in Malaysia. So, we missed going to church last week. Our local church here is feeding the poor and helping them out. Every week, food is served and we have been asked to help out, but due to other commitments, we had to decline. But we have been contributing financially every week for the tithes and offerings.

To have a Forgiving Heart

To live a healthy life, we need to have a forgiving heart so that we are not consumed by anger and hurt. The poisonous emotions can eat into us and take the vitality out of our lives. We need to forgive those who have hurt us for our own good - not theirs! This is so that we do not carry unnecessary burden or baggage in our hearts. Jesus has told us to forgive unlimited times because in life, we are bound to get hurt by those around us or even petty strangers. Hence, for a peaceful mind, it is better to forgive and forget and then move on with life.

My Hobbies to Keep Me Occupied

I have been a collector of coins (numismatist) and stamps (philatelist) since I was young. But my stamps collection are much bigger than my coins since I could get free stamps when people send letters to my parents. My hobby has kept me busy and usefully occupied. In my later years, my wealthy uncle in Singapore who is a doctor gave me gold coins during Chinese New Year instead of 'ang-pows' or red packets of money. The gold coin is about 10gm and round in shape. These are my small collection of treasures since childhood and I will cherish them in my possession. The other day, someone was interested to buy my stamps but I am not willing to let them go since they remind me of my childhood.

He Could not Pass the Interview and Get a Job

My mother's church friend's son who studies in UK and graduated with a Master's degree could not pass any interview and has not been working since graduation. What a waste! He is about the same age as my youngest sister. I guess he is just not blessed to hold a job. Perhaps he has very high expectations and salary during the job interview that they could not afford him. Being the only son, his parents did not pressure him to take up lower paying job like working in Mac Donald's. I guess he is lucky that his parents love him regardless of the situation and still support him when they are still alive.

Dream Job to Work from Home

I thank God every day for my blessings to work at home while getting an income every month. I don't have to commute to work, dress up or get stuck in nasty traffic jams. Hence I work in my pajamas. It has been like this for the last 6 years where I wake up to have breakfast and then off to switch on the computer and log into the internet to check emails on a daily basis. Whenever I need a break from work, I just go upstairs to take a short nap and then continue to work again. My job responsibilities include calculating prices for sports quotations, entering financial data to MS Excel worksheet, emailing brochures to potential clients and printing out enquiries for my boss to reply.
