Sometimes, people chooses to light up paper... I saw the papers being burnt...
When someone pass away, we burnt paper... The lights around the casket... What do they symbolises? Is it that important that those lights and papers are being lit or burnt?
Does my life light up the lives of others? Isn't that more important than so many things we light up with earthly fire? Do i allow my life to burn and shine for Christ?
"I want you to see the importance of your life in how well you pass on the love I have given you. I want you to see your years as important because you have given them to Me... live your days for Me.. If you do not, it will be as though I never came..." -Conversations with Jesus-
Many times, i tire myself up as i work for the future.. It is not wrong to think about the future.. Not wrong to plan... Suddenly I am reminded of the paradox of thrift... well... if i plan too much, i forget to live my day as it is... if i save too much money, i create too much withdrawal in the economy... the economy will shrink... in the same way, my life is not lived to the fullest because of how i keep tiring myself up because of the future.. and many times i forget that what God requires of me really is just to pass on His love... If tomorrow i were to die, what did i leave in the world today?
i miss mr hannis and mr ng... and.. yup.. i wanna nominate mr nandwani for the president teacher award.. if i nominate mr nathan i think he sure win one (coz of his name though)... I guess mr hannis, mr ng and mr nandwani just light up the lives of others in special ways...
and i grow to love two of my sisters kanitta and dianne so much recently... how i really realised once again they are so precious and dear to me... shu yi jie too... and i think yup, these are people who light up my life..
