Awesome Post-Read It!

I just finished the household chores for the night and was preparing to go to bed, when I heard a noise in the front of the house. I opened the door to the front room and to my surprise, Santa himself stepped out from behind the Christmas tree. He placed his finger over his mouth so I would not cry out.

"What are you doing?" I started to ask. The words choked up in my throat, and I saw he had tears in his eyes. His usual jolly manner was gone. Gone was the eager, boisterous character we all know.

He then answered me with a simple statement.

"TEACH THE CHILDREN"

I was puzzled; what did he mean? He guessed my question, and with one quick movement pulled a miniature toy bag from behind the tree.

As I stood puzzled, Santa said,

"Teach the children! Teach them the old meaning of Christmas. The meaning that nowadays Christmas has forgotten."

Santa then reached in his bag and pulled out a fir tree and placed it in front of the fire place.

"Teach the children that the pure green colour of the stately fir tree remains green all year round, representing the everlasting hope of mankind, all the needles point heavenward, making it a symbol of man's thoughts turning toward heaven."

He again reached into his bag and pulled out a brilliant star


"Teach the children that the star was the heavenly sign of promises long ago. God promised a Saviour for the world, and the star was the sign of the fulfillment of His promise."

He then reached into his bag and pulled out a candle

"Teach the children that the candle symbolizes that Christ is the light of the world, and when we see this great light we are reminded of Jesus who fills our lives with light."

Once again he reached into his bag and removed a wreath and placed it on a tree

"Teach the children that the wreath symbolizes the real nature of love. Real love never ceases, like God's love which has no beginning or end."

He then pulled from his bag an ornament of himself

"Teach the children that I, Santa Clause symbolize the generosity and kindness we feel during the month of December."

He then brought out a holly leaf

"Teach the children that the holly plant represent immortality. It represents the crown of thorns worn by our Saviour. The red holly represents the blood shed by Him."

Next he pulled from his bag a gift

and said,

"Teach the children that God so loved the world that He gave His only Son...We thank God for His very special gift."

"Teach the children that the wise men bowed before the Holy Baby and gave Him gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. We should always give gifts in the same spirit of the wise men."

Santa then reached in his bag and pulled out a candy cane and hung it on the tree

"Teach the children that the candy cane represents the shepherd's crook. The crook on the staff helps to bring back lost sheep to the flock."

He reached in again and pulled out an angel

"Teach the children that it was the angels that announced the glorious news of the Saviour's birth. The angels sang 'Glory to God in the highest, on earth peace and good will toward men.'"

Suddenly, I heard a soft tinkling sound, and from his bag he pulled out a bell

"Teach the children that as the lost sheep are found by the sound of the bell, it should ring to us to guide us to God. The bell symbolizes guidance and return. It reminds us that we are all precious in the eyes of God."

Santa looked back and was pleased. I saw the twinkle in his eyes as he said:

"Remember, teach the children the true meaning of Christmas and do not put me in the centre, for I am but a humble servant of the One that is, and I bow down to worship Him, our Lord, our God."

This is just so AWESOME!!!!

Mission Trip Thailand

Back from Thailand!haha...God really answered my prayers!He helped me to gain a lot of experience from this trip and i had also had new friends!Anyway,the Mission Trip was so damn cool!!The things in Thailand were dirt cheap and i did not have enough money to buy all my stuff so i was a little bit disappointed but nevermind!I had 3 testimonies to share with u ppl out there.
Testimony no 1:During a rally,there were many performances by different groups of ppl.One of the performance included 100 ppl singing on the wooden stage.Halfway through,the stage collapsed.But not even one of the 100 kids were injured!This is really God's GRACE!
Testimony no 2:During the Sunday Service,it was offering time.I had no small change except for 2 1000B notes.At first i did not want to give offering because i needed the money to buy my ARSENAL shirt in Bangkok Airport but i changed my mind.i believed that the children in ABUNDANT LIFE HOME need the money more than me and they were more important than the ARSENAL shirt so i decided to give 1000B which means i was left with 1000B in my wallet.BUT DADDY GOD GAVE ME A SURPRISE!My friends Angie and Rubin were very touched by my actions and so they treated me to dinner!My sis also gave me some more money.This show that DADDY GOD really provides for us when we gave up our money rights for him!Amen!
Testimony no 3:AT Bangkok Airport,i really wanted to but my ARSENAL shirt but the store was located in the domestic departure hall and i was in the international departure hall!i was very disappointed and in the end i used the money which i was supposed to used to buy my ARSENAL shirt to buy dinner for a few of my friends as they did not have anymore money left.One of my friends Marcus told me that he was grateful towards me for buying dinner for him so that he will not suffer from gastric pain.Then it struck me that God was using me to help other ppl who were in need! I was very happy upon realising that God was using me to help other ppl and my disappointment elevated!
So,i really thanked DADDY GOD for this Mission Trip to Thailand where i have blessed and also been blessed by the ppl in HOD city church.If there is another mission trip next year to the same place i will surely sign up for it again AND BUY MY ARSENAL SHIRT!!!!!SHALOM!!!

My Testimony-After Grad Night

I have a good testimony to say which i hope will bless all those who have read it.After Grad Night,my friends and i decided to stay up throughout the night.So,we went to played LAN Gaming till like 5am in the morning.After that,we went to Yong En's house.I was planning to stay at his place till 5.45am in the morning as i wanted to wait for the MRT stations to open.As i was going out of his house,i saw the word 'SHALOM' on his wall(i did not see it when i came into his house cause it was blocked by the door)and i felt a peace within me.After i walked for awhile,i realised that i was lost.There was not a single soul nor car around and all around me was an eerie silence.YET i was not afraid or worried at all,instead i had peace in my heart and then out of nowhere,a taxi came up to me and i rode the taxi home.
I thanked Daddy God for helping me out when i ran into difficulty.He knew what was going to happen and i believed that he wanted me to see the word 'SHALOM' before i left Yong En's house and that it was him who instilled the peace in me so that i would not be anxious when i got lost.I also believed that the taxi driver was called by Daddy God to come and fetched me home.Daddy God even gave me a good taxi driver.When the taxi driver knew i had to work at 12pm which is just 6 hours away,he drove faster and went all the shortcuts without me telling him just so that i can have some sleep before i went to work.I was really thankful for that.
Overall,i had only 3 hours of sleep but when i was working,never once was i tired at all!Indeed,Daddy God will always helped us when we run into difficulties and he will always solve the problems and give us a way out.ALL GLORY TO JESUS!
