He will never give up on you!

An encouraging story for u.........



Dear All,



Do you know that God would not give anyone of us a challenge that we could not handle.

And even as we are still struggling, we have grown in our roots.



Don’t compare yourself to others, for God has a different purpose for each of us,

yet we made to fit beautifully in his plans.


One day I decided to quit...I quit my job, my relationship,
my spirituality... I wanted to quit my life.

I went to the woods to have one last talk with God.
"God", I said. "Can you give me one good reason not to quit?"
His answer surprised me...

"Look around", He said. "Do you see the fern and the bamboo?"

"Yes", I replied.

"When I planted the fern and the bamboo seeds, I took very
< TT>good care of them. I gave them light. I gave them water.
The fern quickly grew from the earth. Its brilliant green
covered the floor. Yet nothing came from the bamboo seed.
But I did not quit on the bamboo. In the second year the
Fern grew more vibrant and plentiful. And again, nothing
came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo."
He said.

"In year three there was still nothing from the bamboo seed.
But I would not quit.

In year four, again, there was nothing from the bamboo seed.
I would not quit." He said.

"Then in the fifth year a tiny sprout emerged from the earth.
Compared to the fern it was seemingly small and insignificant...
But just 6 months later the bamboo rose to over 100 feet tall.
It had spent the five years growing roots. Those roots made
it strong and gave it what it needed to survive. I would not
give any of my creations a challenge it could not handle."
He said to me.

"Did you know, my child, that all this time you have been
struggling, you have actually been gro wing roots?"

"I would not quit on the bamboo. I will never quit on you."

"Don't compare yourself to others." He said. "The bamboo had a
different purpose than the fern. Yet they both make the forest
beautiful."

"Your time will come", God said to me. "You will rise high"

"How high should I rise?" I asked.

"How high will the bamboo rise?" He asked in return.

"As high as it can?" I questioned

"Yes." He said, "Give me glory by rising as high as you can."

I left the forest and bring back this story. I hope these words
can help you see that God will never give up on you.

He will never give up on you!

Ladies Period Caution

Don't know how true it is...
(Guys: Please remind your girlfriend, fiancee, wife, mistress)

Pls disseminate to your gal frens...

It has been a traditional theory that ladies are not suppose to
wash their hair during their period. But there are no solutions to
the question why? The victim will only realise at their later
stage of their life, facing the symptoms of breast and ovary cancer.

Today ladies still wash their hair during their period with the
thinking that they will be safe if they blow dry their hair. But
this will not prevent them from getting the cancer. Please read
the article below:

A well known Taiwanese medical professor specialise in cancer
research based in a Japanese university did a survey on 30,000
pre cancer patients.

She found these patients are very choosy in their food, wash their
hair during their period and carry heavy object and drink cold drinks.
This will cause the incomplete of ovulation and the remaining
menses will turn into toxic and the imbalance of hormone will
lead to ovary and breast cancer.

During the research she found the method of prevention to these cancer.

The secrets are;
1. One must change their lifestyle and eating habits.
2. Do not wash our hair while having period
3. Excessive bleeding must be investigated by a gynae, do not wash
your hair just for the cooling effect and contraction of ovary.
4. No cold drinks.

If you feel drowsy, breast expansion and constipation these are
the early symptom of ovary or breast cancer.

To prevent use:
1. black sugar 2. Chinese lotus (leng ngau) 3. Carrot and 4.Barley

Boil to soup and drink. This is the best prevention.

CHEERS!!

A Touching Story

A touching story and a good reminder :
"Take time to appreciate what you have now"


On the last day before Christmas, I hurried to go to the
supermarket to buy the remaining of the gift I didn't manage to buy earlier.

When I saw all the people there, I started to complain to myself, "It is
going to take forever here and I still have so many other places to go.
Christmas really is getting more and more annoying every year. How I
wish I could just lie down, go to sleep and only wake up after it..."

Nonetheless, I made my way to the toy section, and there I started to
curse the prices, wondering if after all kids really play with such expensive toys.

While looking in the toy section, I noticed a small boy of about 5 years old, pressing

a doll against his chest. He kept on touching the hair of the doll and looked so sad.

I wondered who was this doll for. Then the little boy turned to the old woman next to him,

"Granny, are you sure I don't have enough money?"

The old lady replied, "You know that you don't have enough money to buy
this doll, my dear." Then she asked him to stay here for 5 minutes while she went to look
around. She left quickly.

The little boy was still holding the doll in his hand.

Finally, I started to walk toward him and I asked him who did he want
to give this doll to...
"It is the doll that my sister loved most and wanted so much for this
Christmas. She was so sure that Santa Claus would bring it to her."

I replied to him that maybe Santa Claus will bring it to her,
after all, and not to worry.

But he replied to me sadly. "No, Santa Claus cannot bring it to her
where she is now. I have to give the doll to my mother so that she can give
it to her when she goes there." His eyes were so sad while saying this. "My
sister has gone to be with God. Daddy says that Mummy will also go to
see God very soon, so I thought that she could bring the doll with her to
give it to my sister."

My heart nearly stopped. The little boy looked up at me and said, "I
told daddy to tell mummy not to go yet. I asked him to wait until I come

back from the supermarket."

Then he showed me a very nice photo of him where he was laughing. He
then told me, "I also want mummy to take this photo with her so that she
will not forget me." I love my mummy and I wish she doesn't have to leave me
but daddy says that she has to go to be with my little sister."

Then he looked again at the doll with sad eyes, very quietly.
I quickly reached for my wallet and took a few notes and said to the boy,
"What if we checked again, just in case if you have enough money?"
"Ok," he said. "I hope that I have enough." I added some of my money to

his without him seeing and we started to count it.There was enough for the doll,

and even some spare money. The little boy said, "Thank you God for giving me enough money."

Then he looked at me and added, "I asked yesterday before I slept... for God
to make sure I have enough money to buy this doll so that mummy can give it
to my sister. He heard me." "I also wanted to have enough money to buy a
white rose for my mummy, but I didn't dare to ask God too much. But He
gave me enough to buy the doll and the white rose." "You know, my mummy
loves white rose."
A few minutes later, the old lady came again and I left with my
trolley. I finished my shopping in a totally different state from when I started.
I couldn't get the little boy out of my mind.


Then I remembered a local newspaper article 2 days ago, which
mentioned of a drunk man in a truck who hit a car where there was one
young lady and a little girl. The little girl died right away, and the mother
was left in a critical state. The family had to decide whether to pull the
plug on the life-assisting machine, because the young lady would not be able
to get out of the coma.


Was this the family of the little boy?

Two days after this encounter with the little boy, I read in the newspaper
that the young lady had passed away. I couldn't stop myself and went to

buy a bunch of white roses and I went to the mortuary where the body

of the young woman was exposed for people to see and make last wish before burial.


She was there, in her coffin, holding a beautiful white rose in her hand
with the photo of the little boy and the doll placed over her chest.

I left the place crying, feeling that my life had been changed forever.
The love that this little boy had for his mother and his sister is still,
to that day, hard to imagine. And in a fraction of a second, a drunk man
had taken all this away from him.

Send this message to everybody that you know; maybe you will help prevent

someone drunk to go driving.
