No better mom than you…

Happy mother’s day!

For all the mothers, I’d like to contribute this songs to all of you. Jennifer Tham, the author of the song, won the first prize in the Super Mum contest held by AsiaOne.

Here is her letter sharing the brave story about her mom…

My mom is someone that I really admire, I’ve created this song to show how my mum worth far above all the rubies on the Earth.

I still remember when she suffered from cancer a few years back, and yet she was as strong as any healthy mom could be. My mom always girds herself with strength and strengthens her own arms just to support for my education. She still works after her treatments and wouldn’t let me see the tiredness that unfolds. And no matter what happen, her unconditional love never fails to watches over me and guide me through the steps of life.

Dear Mom, for whatever things you do, I know you’ve always been this true … Your love to me, speaks all the words can’t say. For every tear you shed, I know I’m always in your care.

If someone ask me, do I want to have other Mom?
I’ll forever say :
“No I couldn’t ask for a
better Mom than you,
Hanny Soelowidjojo Tjeng”

Love you, Mom
Jennifer Tham

And here is the song. The video is produced by Lydia Isnanto, one of the 12 great friends I mentioned earlier.

I believe our mother is a very special reason why we have our smile. She loves us unconditionally and her love is eternal. Do remember them and appreciate them. For all the mothers out there, Happy Mother’s Day!

Cheers,
Robert

The secret of giving

It’s three days away from Christmas and everyone seem to be celebrating Christmas. Many stores open a year-end sale and gift bazaar to make this season a season of shopping, and hopefully a season of giving.

I’ve been looking forward to post a message on Christmas. Today I will talk about it, especially on the attitude in giving. It’s inspired from the following quote on giving…

Sometimes we hold on to our possesions because we fear we might run out - life seems scarce. But when we believe that giving is the way to live, we will produce more in the future - life seems abundant.

John C. Maxwell

This message is inspired not from an activity related to giving. It’s inspired more from my activity related to my house-keeping. Working oversea and away from family forced me to do my own house-keeping chores.

Over the years I found that I am a collector, I don’t like to throw things and I wanna keep it forever. I collect many things and unfortunately, most are useless. In my mind, I’m afraid that I might need it in the future, I better keep as many as possible, I don’t know what will I need in the future and I afraid that I will not be able to find what I need in the future, regretting things that I have thrown away.

This goes on and on, until I decided to make some action after reading an article from Tina Su at ThinkSimpleNow.com titled How to Cure PackRat-itis. Doing it, I’m reminded of the abundant attitude that I have ever read from The Maxwell Leadership Bible as quoted above. It’s the secret of giving, the belief that giving is a way to live, the belief that life seems abundant!

So what will you do when you have abundant attitude? When you live a life seems abundant?

Only The World

Another favorite song of mine, from Mandisa, “Only The World”
Remember that whatever problem we have in this world, it’s only temporary and it can’t be compared to what God has promised us in heaven!

To listen the song, click here.

Verse 1:
Been a hard one, Been a bad one
Been a tough one, Been a sad one
It’s been one of those days that keeps chipping away at my heart
Nothing new here, It’s what I do here
its a stereotypical day, in the life
I’m surrounded by all of the pain and the strife
but I know it’s alright, woah oh

Chorus:
Cause it’s only the world i’m living in
It’s only today i’ve been given
There ain’t no way i’m giving in
Cause it’s only the world (only the world)
I know the best is still yet to come
Cause even when my days in the world are done
There’s gonna be so much more than only the world for me
do do do do do do do do do, yeah its only the world

 

Verse 2:
Anybody can you hear me?
Do you feel me? I mean, do you feel me?
I know I’m not the only one wearing the weight in this world
We got problems (said it’s alright)
Just remember (yeah, it’s alright)
Take a good look around we’re just stuck on the ground for a little while
Don’t it make you smile

Chorus:
Cause it’s only the world i’m living in (Yeah)
It’s only today i’ve been given(Yeah)
There ain’t no way i’m giving in
Cause it’s only the world (only the world)
I know the best is still yet to come
Cause even when my days in the world are done
There’s gonna be so much more than only the world for me
do do do do do do do do do, yeah its only the world

do do do do do do do do do, yeah its only the world

Bridge:
Heaven is a place where the tears on every face will be wiped away
And I can’t wait to go, but for now it’s enoughto know
This is only temporary this is only, Yeah, Alright!

Chorus:
Cause it’s only the world i’m living in
It’s only the day i’ve been given
There ain’t no way i’m giving in
Cause it’s only the world (only the world)
I know the best is still yet to come
Cause even when my days in the world are done
There’s gonna be so much more than only the world for me

Cause it’s only the world i’m living in
It’s only tod i’ve been given
There ain’t no way i’m giving in
Cause it’s only the world (only the world)
I know the best is still yet to come
Cause even when my days in the world are done
There’s gonna be so much more than only the world for me
(So much more than only the world, yeah)

do do do do do do do do do, yeah its only the world

do do do do do do do do do, yeah its only the world

I Just Want You

My favorite song right now:

Vicki Yohe - I Just Want You

I could have fortune and fame
Go anywhere do anything
But oh God I just want You
I could search for earthly things
To satisfy my every need
But oh God I just want You

I just want You
I just want You
I just want to live
In your presence everyday
I lay down my will
And every selfish desire
Whatever it takes
Father that’s what I’ll do
Cause I just want You

Standing in this holy place
I’m only here to seek Your face
Oh God I just want You
Can You feel the passion in my heart?
To be close to where You are
Oh God I just want You

Do we always put God first in everything we do?

But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. (Mat 6:33)

To listen to the song, tune in to the CMRadio - The Spirit or listen to the audio clip in Vicki Yohe website
