Max strikes my head!!!

As I was checking out some English titles during work to order for our store, I went to Max Lucado's website to take a look at all his books.

Max is a great writer..
Even as I went thru each of the intro for his books...I learnt great lessons.

One of which touches me most..bringing realisation or enlightenment to me is the intro of this book called "The Applause of Heaven" by Max Lucado, of cuz.

Here is the intro of this book...

Revisit the Beatitudes and ponder the glories of heaven with one of America's favorite authors...

It is what you always dreamed but never expected. It's having God as your dad, your biggest fan, and your best friend. It is having the King of Kings in your cheering section. It is hearing the applause of heaven. Max Lucado believes that the Beatitudes provide what we need to discover the the joy of God. Much more than a how-to book on happiness. The Applause of Heaven is an encounter with the Source of Joy.
------------------------------------------------------------

I have always know that God is my DAD-in-Heaven and my BEST FRIEND..but what strikes my mind this time as I was reading this is...

GOD IS MY BIGGEST FAN...
THE KING OF KINGS, JESUS CHRIST IS IN MY CHEERING SECTION...
WOW!!!

Each time I visited my blog, the 1st thing I would check is the counter I placed in my blog and then is the chatterbox in my blog.

Each time I sees the counter jumps...its like another drop of water that refresh my spirit...I felt so comforted and greatly encouraged, even tho many did not leave me any msg in my chatterbox or comments..but your visits to my blog has already a great encouragement for me to persist on and continue to become a better me, so as to share more of the beauty of this life...and the lessons of life..

Today Max actually strike my head with this intro of his book "The Applause of Heaven"...telling me or in fact reminding me once again "Angeline...you not only have so many 'fans' who cares and supports you...but in fact you know who is your greatest fan...other than Sandra (your buddy) in Auz and Joyce (your best friend)..and many secret ones...????

That is GOD! God is your greatest fan! He cares and reads up all about you and what you write and share in your blog ...He is interested in your life..and all about you....
And most of all...HE IS INTERESTED IN U, CUZ HE CREATED YOU.

Each day, God is happy to see what I write about what I learnt from Him thru His creation and His plans for me..

God feels sad when I am sad...
God feels happy when I am happy..
and God gives me a pat on my shoulder when I did Him Proud..
God stretch out His Hands to lift me up each time I fall..tho He knows I fell very often..telling me..that "well..Angeline will be up again soon..and eventually She will learn the lesson that I am teaching her.."
I am glad that God is my Cheer-Leader to cheer me on..like many of you!

Thank You God...and thanks to you all here ...too...

:) I am indeed a blessed woman!!!

Final Destination of Everyone

Money often deceive us, leading us to forget we will die some day. Poor people will die, Rich people will also die.
In the bible, it says to the Rich, today your life will be taken from you, what will happen to the riches you have stored up for yourself.
So be Wise- store up for yourself treasures in heaven which never rot as it has eternal value.
Our stay in this world is but only max. hundred over years..
but compare to life in eternity after death, what seems long here is but only a grain in heaven.

My Zodiac

Angeline's Zodiac Sign - TAURUS

9 may Taureans never slap or sting. Rather, they creep up on you, affect you deeply and leave their indelible impression on your soul. Think of Taurus as a long sensual kiss. A huge tender bear hug. Or an eiderdown on a cold alpine night. Taureans are warm (but sometimes stodgy) customers.

Many Taureans work with their hands. Even if a Taurus is a computer expert and seems more cerebral than manual, nine times out of ten there is a hidden craft or hobby lurking behind the scenes. Taureans enjoy forging beautiful things from natural materials. In fact, they are attracted to all sorts of beauty. Music thrills them. Flowers enchant them. The countryside seduces them. And art is their natural habitat.

Taureans are forever building their own workshops and renovating barns and old churches. They are not only home-loving, they like to get their hands into the cement and slather on the plaster, if only for the tangible joy of playing in the mud.

Taureans do not take kindly to sudden change. They like to be wherever they are supposed to be when it is time to be there. Taureans readily adjust to routine and for that reason make fabulous employees. Precipitous and unexpected events requiring flexibility and resilience may cause Taureans to dig in their hooves and refuse to budge. Bulls are obstinate and determined to hold their ground. It is wiser not to try to talk Taurus out of a sulk. Just let him paw the earth and snort and seethe on his own. Take a tranquilizer and a walk. Soon, when the inevitable becomes blatantly inevitable, Taurus will budge of his own accord, come out of his sulk and go with the flow.

Sensuality belongs to Taurus. Wherever there is pleasure you will find a Taurean plunk in the middle of it all. They love to bask in the "good life." Taureans cannot resist the tug of the opposite sex. When an attractive newcomer arrives on the scene, count on Taurus to see to it that the outsiders have a drink, are made comfortable and have slipped Taurus a telephone number or two.

Taureans are amorous and romantic without being flighty or maudlin. They are tender and don't mind public displays of affection. Love and all of its expressions appeal to the Bull. Taureans can be counted on to stray a bit where sex is concerned, but they never flaunt their infidelities and usually avoid sticky extracurricular entanglements. If you love a Taurus, feed him.
