Thank God that there is online sermon!
Five purposes from God for your life. God has five reasons for creating us and place us here...
Rev 4:11 - You created everytyhing, and it is for your pleasure that they exist and were created. You and I constantly brings joy to God. We live in a imperfect world. We have so much doubt of our existance. You are created for God's pleasure / enjoyment. : >
1. Worship God (to love Him back) Mat 22:37-38 - Love the Lord your God, this iss the first and the greatest commandment!
Roman 12:1 - Because of God's great mercy..offer yourself as a living sacrifice to God. Dedicating yourself to His service and His
Worship is my response of God's love. Worship is a reaction, a respond, giving something to God. If they can't respond to God, they are either dead physically or spiritually...
God initiates, then we appropiatly respond to Him. He is the one who provides, protects.
When we receive from God, we say 'I am blessed'. So that we can respond to Him, by giving it back to Him, the blessing, that He gave us.
!Whenever you give anything back or offer anything to God, that is Worship!
When giving something back to God, it is not about what you give, it is about your heart!
Just like a son giving a his favourite biscuit to his father. The son didn't eat his favourite biscuit, saved the biscuit and give it to his father as a present. The father can of course buy huimself many biscuits, and also he is the one who buys biscuits for his son. Father don't need the biscuits, but it pleases the father when his son offer something back to his father/parents. It is not about what the son gives, it is about his heart!
Mark 12:30 - love your God with all your soul, all your mind and all your strength. God wants us to love Him thoughtfully, passionatly and practically. God wants us to think through. It must be thoughful. It is not about how expensive the present it but thoughtful. Passion must be there (all yu rmind). God wants us to practically (with all his strength), it means the talents you have.
God doesn't have our attention unless we give him, taht is loving God with our mind
God doesn't have our affection, all our heart and soul
God doesn't have our ability, action, that is loving God with all our strength
Attention, affection and our ability are all from God. It is God who enables us to action!
All these ablity is made possible because God has made it possible! Who are we His creation, so smal, so tiny, yet we can give something back to God...our attention, our affection, our ability.
First purpose - Focusing my attention on God! That is worship!
God wants us to use our mind to focus on Him. Just going through the motion, we do things religiously, and dont' even think through, i.e. because we have sang the songs for a long time.
When we fall in love with God, we think about Him all the time. Our attention, our focus is on Him all the time. Fix your attention on Him. We can't focus on two things at a time.
Worship is expression my affection to God. When singing praises, we can raise our hands, dance to express our affection to God. May be we really need to get a glimps of this great God, then we show our affection.
Worhsip is using my ablities for God. Love is active. Col 3:23 - What ever you do, work at it with all your heart as you are working for God, not for people. God wants us to serve Him with our action.
Most important reminder to me is this.....
You can't change who you are working for. When you change, but when you change your mentality, you are working for God and not for man. It is not about what you do tomrorow, it is about who you are doing it for.
It is about who you are doing it for. What is God's will for me, what how and when does God want me to do?! Why do you do it, is the most important question.
All that I have, I give it back to God. If this is prayer...
Help us to worship you by focusing our attention on you. To worship you affectionaly. To love you passionatly with all our hearts and soul. To use the ability you have given us to worhsip you practically in action. In Jesus' name we pray

Chik Ma and Chik Ba's dinner
On 19 May 2010, I was being invited to have a lovely dinner at Chik Pa and Chik Ma's house.
They cooked lovely food such as fish, roast pork, crab, prawn with eggs, vegetables with shredded scallops on top, Shanghai salty pork steamed with winter melon. Just between the two of us. Little David Hun can only eat with his eyes from the pictures. ^___^
Love to David-san! XXXXX

Today's joke
Today at home, my mum was using a toothbrush to clean the Ginseng. After cleaning the Ginseng, she was about to throw away the used tooth brush, the brown dirty tooth brush.
Then my dad asked a very practical question.
So you are going to throw away the toothbrush? in his mind, he doesn't want to 'waste' that toothbrush.
Then mum said' So we are going to give it to you for brushing your teeth'.
I then bursted out laughing!!
Ok, it may not sound very funny to you, but at that moment, spoken in Cantonese, it was very funny indeed.
My dad's expression was o___o"""""

Niu and Jocelyn's wedding day 09 May 2010
It was a great gather time in Malaysia!
Suppose to go to Lankawi on 02 May 2010 with the rest of the Southampton beauties Shui Yun, Joyce Lau and Qing Mac...however, I had to stay in Hong Kong. Hence, I arrived in Kuala Lumpur (KL) on 07 May 2010.
Had a slight panic time when I saw no one at the airport upon arrival. Luckily, they haven't forgot to pick me up from the airport....hehehe.
Shui Yun has been great to pick us up, organise our Malaysia trip, as well as organising Niu's wedding. Must be super tired for her.
It was unfortunate that Yan Taw and Kang Ing couldn't come. Good news arrived from Kang Ing and his wife! Yan Taw was busy in TaiWan. Even so, we had a good gathering with Wee Lee, Chong Yew, Shui Jin (Shui Yun's elder sis).
The wedding banquet was good. It was an entertaining time because they all sing! Niu's mother dance Cha cha cha. Niu's dad sang seven old fashion Chinese songs. Now I understand where does Niu's voice comes from! Even Jocelyn sang with Niu as they enter. It was an entertaining Wedding time. May God bless they marriage life together. United in Heart Forever and Grow Mature together! ^__^

Dinner time at Kowloon Sheng
15 May 2010
Dinner night with Chik Ma's family side, her sixth sister, plus her husband, her son and her daughter together with Chik ma's seventh brother with his elder daughter (from New York) and Anna, William's family. Chik ma's sixth sister had been to Japan for two years, was in New Jersy for several years, then back to HK for 10 years until now.
It was a good dinner time with them. There are in total six kids. They all liked the sweet toy I gave them. Thank you card was also passed to Chik ma's brother for grandfather, younger auntie and elder auntie. Uncle was very generous and gave a big fat red pocket for David and I's wedding gift.
Do pray that God will bless Bliss and may God continue to heal her little heart. Pray that God's strength would be with her, in her every walking step. Pray for her brother Benjamen that God will take care of him, his studies. Pray that God will conitnue to grant strength to the family, may God's strength, peace and love be filled in the mother's heart. May their faith be strengthen.
I can only get a glimse of what the family had to go through. It already looks quite hard already. However, thank God that the little Bliss' life is given.
Also when they had a discussion on how to bring up their children, a heavy heart was in me... It seems like everyone would want their kids to excell in study, sports, chess, music, art....etc. However, does that really do good to the kids? How does God want to raise up kids? I trust that God's word is the blue print to life and also to raising up kids too! Proverbs especially..... ;> May God prepare David and I to raise up our family. If God willingly, grant us healthy God glorfying kids! In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
