A GLASS OF MILK

One day, a poor boy was selling clothing door to door, to pay for his education realized that he only had ten cents left in his pockets. He was hungry and so decided to ask for some food at the next house that he came to.

 In the meantime he lost his hunger when a beautiful young woman opened the door. Instead of a meal, he asked her for a glass of water.

 She saw that he was very hungry so instead brought him a huge glass of milk. He drank it very slowly and then asked

 Poor Boy:  How much do I owe you? 

Beautiful Young Woman:  You do not owe me anything at all, my mother taught us never to accept anything for doing someone a kindness. 

Poor Boy:  Then I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

When Howard Kelly left the house, as well as feeling stronger physically, he sensed a return of his faith in the lord which he had nearly abandoned

 …………………………………………………

Years later, this same young woman fell gravely ill. The local doctors were mystified, so they sent her to the big city where they knew that the specialists would be able to diagnose this rare sickness. Doctor Howard Kelly was called as a consultant. When he heard the name of the city where she lived, a memory burned brightly in his eyes.

 He got up and went to her room. As he entered her room, he immediately recognized her. He returned to the consultation room, determined to do his best to save her life. From that day on, he paid special attention to this case. After a long battle, the war was finally won.

Doctor Kelly left instructions that the bill should be sent to him for authorization. He looked it over, wrote something in the margin, and sent it to her room. Something caught her attention in the margin of the invoice.

She read these words: Paid in full with a glass of milk: Doctor Howard Kelly.

 Tears of joy filled her eyes and her heart. 

 She prayed: Thank you lord, for your love has crossed the hands and hearts of man .

 There is a saying that goes like this: Bread thrown over the water returns to you.

 An act of goodness that you do today can come back to you or someone that you love, when you are not expecting it. If you do not see this act of goodness returned, at least you will have made a difference in this world. And in the end, isn’t that what life is all about? 

The Blessing of Thorns

Sandra felt as low as the heels of her shoes as she pushed against a November gust and the florist shop door. Her life had been easy, like a spring breeze. Then in the fourth month of her second pregnancy, a minor automobile accident stole her ease.

During this Thanksgiving week she would have delivered a son. She grieved over her loss. As if that weren't enough, her husband's company threatened a transfer. Then her sister, whose annual holiday visit she coveted, called saying she could not come.

What's worse, Sandra's friend infuriated her by suggesting her grief was a God-given path to maturity that would allow her to empathize with others who suffer. "She has no idea what I'm feeling," thought Sandra with a shudder.

 "Thanks giving? Thankful for what?" she wondered aloud. For a careless driver whose truck was hardly scratched when he rear- ended her? For an airbag that saved her life but took that of her child?

 "Good afternoon, can I help you?"

 The shop clerk's approach startled her.

 "I....I need an arrangement, "stammered Sandra.”For Thanks giving?

 Do you want beautiful but ordinary, or would you like to challenge the day with a customer favourite I call the Thanksgiving Special?" asked the shop clerk.

 "I'm convinced that flowers tell stories," she continued.

 "Are you looking for something that conveys 'gratitude' this Thanksgiving?

 "Not exactly!" Sandra blurted out. "In the last five months, everything that could go wrong has gone wrong.” Sandra regretted her outburst, and was surprised when the shop clerk said, "I have the perfect arrangement for you."

 Then the door's small bell rang, and the shop clerk said, "Hi Barbara...let me get your order." She politely excused herself and walked toward a small workroom, then quickly reappeared, carrying an arrangement of greenery, bows, and long-stemmed thorny roses.

 Except the ends of the rose stems were neatly snipped...there were no flowers.

 "Want this in a box?" asked the clerk.

 Sandra watched for the customer's response. Was this a joke? Who would want rose stems with no flowers!?! She waited for laughter, but neither woman laughed. "Yes, please," Barbara replied with an appreciative smile.

 "You'd think after three years of getting the special, I wouldn't be so moved by its significance, but I can feel it right here, all over again," she said as she gently tapped her chest.

 "Uhh," stammered Sandra, "that lady just left with, uhh... she just left with no flowers!"

 "Right...I cut off the flowers. That's the Special... I call it the Thanksgiving Thorns Bouquet.

 "Oh, come on, you can't tell me someone is willing to pay for that?" exclaimed Sandra.

 "Barbara came into the shop three years ago feeling very much like you feels today," explained the clerk. "She thought she had very little to be thankful for. She had lost her father to cancer, the family business was failing, her son was into drugs, and she was facing major surgery."

 "That same year I had lost my husband, "continued the clerk," and for the first time in my life, I had to spend the holidays alone. I had no children, no husband, no family nearby, and too great a debt to allow any travel.

 "So what did you do?" asked Sandra. "I learned to be thankful for thorns," answered the clerk quietly. "I've always thanked God for good things in life and never thought to ask Him why those good things happened to me, but when bad stuff hit, did I ever ask! It took time for me to learn that dark times are important.

I always enjoyed the 'flowers' of life, but it took thorns to show me the beauty of God's comfort. You know, the Bible says that God comforts us when we're afflicted, and from His consolation we learn to comfort others.

 "Sandra sucked in her breath as she thought about the very thing her friend had tried to tell her.”I guess the truth is I don't want comfort.

 I've lost a baby and I'm angry with God."

 Just then someone else walked in the shop.

 "Hey, Phil!" shouted the clerk to the balding, rotund man.

 "My wife sent me in to get our usual Thanksgiving arrangement ....twelve thorny, long-stemmed stems!" laughed Phil as the clerk handed him a tissue-wrapped arrangement from the refrigerator.

 "Those are for your wife?" asked Sandra incredulously. "Do you mind me asking why she wants something that looks like that?

 "No...I'm glad you asked," Phil replied. "Four years ago my wife and I nearly divorced. After forty years, we were in a real mess, but with the Lord's grace and guidance, we slogged through problem after problem.

 He rescued our marriage. Jenny here (the clerk) told me she kept a vase of rose stems to remind her of what she learned from "thorny" times, and that was good enough for me. I took home some of those stems. My wife and I decided to label each one for a specific "problem" and give thanks to Him for what that problem taught us."

 As Phil paid the clerk, he said to Sandra, "I highly recommend the Special!"

 "I don't know if I can be thankful for the thorns in my life." Sandra said to the clerk. "It's all too... fresh."

 "Well," the clerk replied carefully, "my experience has shown me that thorns make roses more precious. We treasure God's providential care more during trouble than at any other time.

 Remember, it was a crown of thorns that Jesus wore so we might know His love. Don't resent the thorns."

 Tears rolled down Sandra's cheeks. For the first time since the accident, she loosened her grip on resentment. "I'll take those twelve long-stemmed thorns, please," she managed to choke out.

 "I hoped you would," said the clerk gently. "I'll have them ready in a minute."

 "Thank you. What do I owe you?" asked Sandra.

 "Nothing." said the clerk.

 "Nothing but a promise to allow God to heal your heart. The first year's arrangement is always on me. "The clerk smiled and handed a card to Sandra.

 "I'll attach this card to your arrangement, but maybe you'd like to read it first."

 It read:

 "Dear God, I have never thanked you for my thorns. I have thanked you a thousand times for my roses, but never once for my thorns. Teach me the glory of the cross I bear; teach me the value of my thorns. Show me that I have climbed closer to you along the path of pain.

 Show me that, through my tears, the colours of your rainbow look much more brilliant....

RENCANA TUHAN INDAH PADA WAKTU-NYA

Ada seorang anak laki-laki yang bercita-cita bahwa Suatu hari nanti ia akan menjadi jenderal Angkatan Darat. Anak itu pandai dan memiliki ciri-ciri yang lebih daripada cukup untuk dapat membawa nya kemanapun ia mau. Untuk itu ia bersyukur kepada Tuhan, oleh karena ia adalah seorang anak yang takut akan Tuhan dan ia selalu berdoa agar supaya suatu hari nanti impiannya itu akan menjadi kenyataan.

Sayang sekali, ketika saatnya tiba baginya untuk bergabung dengan Angkatan Darat, ia ditolak oleh karena memiliki telapak kaki rata. Setelah berulang kali berusaha, ia kemudian melepaskan hasratnya untuk menjadi jenderal dan untuk hal itu ia mempersalahkan Tuhan yang tidak menjawab doanya. Ia merasa seperti berada seorang diri, dengan perasaan yang kalah, dan di atas segalanya, rasa amarah yang belum pernah dialaminya sebelumnya.

Amarah yang mulai ditujukannya terhadap Tuhan. Ia tahu bahwa Tuhan ada, namun tidak mempercayaiNya lagi sebagai seorang sahabat, tetapi sebagai seorang tiran (penguasa yang lalim). Ia tidak pernah lagi berdoa atau melangkahkan kakinya ke dalam gereja. Ketika orang-orang seperti biasanya berbicara tentang Tuhan yang Maha Pengasih, maka ia akan mengejek dan menanyakan pertanyaan-pertanya an rumit yang akan membuat orang-orang percaya itu kebingungan.

Ia kemudian memutuskan untuk masuk perguruan tinggi dan menjadi dokter. Dan begitulah, ia menjadi dokter dan beberapa tahun kemudian menjadi seorang ahli bedah yang handal. Ia menjadi pelopor di dalam pembedahan yang berisiko tinggi dimana pasien tidak memiliki kemungkinan hidup lagi apabila tidak ditangani oleh ahli bedah muda ini. Sekarang, semua pasiennya memiliki kesempatan, suatu hidup yang baru.

Selama bertahun-tahun, ia telah menyelamatkan beribu-ribu jiwa, baik anak-anak maupun orang dewasa. Para orang tua sekarang dapat tinggal dengan berbahagia bersama dengan putra atau putri mereka yang dilahirkan kembali, dan para ibu yang sakit parah sekarang masih dapat mengasihi keluarganya. Para ayah yang hancur hati oleh karena tak seorangpun yang dapat memelihara keluarganya setelah kematiannya, telah diberikan kesempatan baru.

Setelah ia menjadi lebih tua maka ia melatih para ahli bedah lain yang bercita-cita tinggi dengan tekhnik bedah barunya, dan lebih banyak lagi jiwa yang diselamatkan. Pada suatu hari ia menutup matanya dan pergi menjumpai Tuhan. Di situ, masih penuh dengan kebencian, pria itu bertanya kepada Tuhan mengapa doa-doanya tidak pernah dijawab, dan Tuhan berkata, "Pandanglah ke langit, anakKu, dan lihatlah impianmu menjadi kenyataan."

Di sana, ia dapat melihat dirinya sendiri sebagai seorang anak laki-laki yang berdoa untuk bisa menjadi seorang prajurit. Ia melihat dirinya masuk Angkatan Darat dan menjadi prajurit. Di sana ia sombong dan ambisius, dengan pandangan mata yang seakan-akan berkata bahwa suatu hari nanti ia akan memimpin sebuah resimen. Ia kemudian dipanggil untuk mengikuti peperangannya yang pertama, akan tetapi ketika ia berada di kamp di garis depan, sebuah bom jatuh dan membunuhnya. Ia dimasukkan ke dalam peti kayu untuk dikirimkan kembali kepada keluarganya. Semua ambisinya kini hancur berkeping-keping saat orang tuanya menangis dan terus menangis.

 Lalu Tuhan berkata, "Sekarang lihatlah bagaimana rencanaKu telah terpenuhi sekalipun engkau tidak setuju." Sekali lagi ia memandang ke langit. Di sana ia memperhatikan kehidupannya, hari demi hari dan berapa banyak jiwa yang telah diselamatkannya. Ia melihat senyum di wajah pasiennya dan di wajah anggota keluarganya dan kehidupan baru yang telah diberikannya kepada mereka dengan menjadi seorang ahli bedah.

 Kemudian di antara para pasiennya, ia melihat seorang anak laki-laki yang juga memiliki impian untuk menjadi seorang prajurit kelak, namun sayangnya dia terbaring sakit. Ia melihat bagaimana ia telah menyelamatkan nyawa anak laki-laki itu melalui pembedahan yang dilakukannya. Hari ini anak laki-laki itu telah dewasa dan menjadi seorang jenderal. Ia hanya dapat menjadi jenderal setelah ahli bedah itu menyelamatkan nyawanya.

Sampai di situ, Ia tahu bahwa Tuhan ternyata selalu berada bersama dengannya. Ia mengerti bagaimana Tuhan telah memakainya sebagai alatNya untuk menyelamatkan beribu-ribu jiwa, dan memberikan masa depan kepada anak laki-laki yang ingin menjadi prajurit itu. (Diambil dari Inspirational Christian Stories oleh Vincent Magro-Attard)

 Untuk dapat melihat kehendak Tuhan digenapkan di dalam hidup anda, anda harus mengikuti Tuhan dan bukan mengharapkan Tuhan yang mengikuti anda.

 "Ia membuat segala sesuatu indah pada waktunya.... " (Pengkotbah 3:11)

 Apa yang kau alami kini, mungkin tak dapat engkau mengerti, Satu hal tanamkan di hati, indah semua yang Tuhan beri. Tuhan-mu, tak akan memberi ular beracun pada yang minta roti, Cobaan yang engkau alami takkan melebihi kekuatanmu.

 ~~Seringkali sikap kita seperti anak kecil ini, punya hasrat yang terlalu tinggi dalam hidup ini hingga terkadang kita mylhkn Tuhan bila semuanya tidak kita miliki...tapi tidak kita sedari disebalik semuanya Dia ada menyediakan rencana yang jauh lebih indah bagi kita....baca firman-Nya (Yeremia 29:11)~~ Tuhan Yesus mengasihi kita, sebab itu Dia memberikan dan menyediakan rencana yang terindah dalam hidup kita~~

KISAH DI BALIK LAGU "SENTUH HATIKU"

Mungkin banyak yang mendengar lagu Sentuh Hatiku, yang dinyanyikan oleh Maria Shandy. Akan tetapi di balik lagu itu ternyata ada sebuah kisah yang luar biasa.

Pencipta lagu ini adalah seorang anak Tuhan, dan kisah di dalam lagu itu adalah milik teman sekolahnya.

Temannya itu diperkosa oleh ayahnya sendiri dan menjadi gila, sehingga harus dipasung (dirantai) dirumahnya. Ia suka datang dan mendoakan anak itu sambil sesekali menulis lirik lagu.

Waktu pun berlalu. Dia pun pindah kota dan mulai sibuk dengan kegiatannya sendiri.

Suatu ketika anak perempuan itu menelpon dia. Tentu saja dia kaget bukan main, karena anak itu kan gila - dipasung pula. Kok sekarang bisa lepas, telpon pula?

Akhirnya anak perempuan itu bercerita:
Suatu hari entah karena karat atau bagaimana rantainya lepas. Satu hal
yang langsung dia ingat, dia mau membunuh ayahnya! Tetapi saat dia bangun, ia melihat Tuhan Yesus dengan jubah putihnya, berkata : "Kamu harus maafin papa kamu."

Tetapi anak itu tidak bisa dan dia terus menangis, memukul, dan berteriak..

Sampai akhirnya Tuhan Yesus memeluk dia dan berkata : "AKU mengasihimu."

Walaupun bergumul akhirnya anak itupun memaafkan papanya. Mereka sekeluarga menangis dan bisa kembali hidup normal.

Dari situlah lagu "Sentuh hatiku" ditulis :

Sentuh Hatiku~~~

Betapa kumencintai
Segala yang 'tlah terjadi
Tak pernah sendiri jalani hidup ini
Selalu menyertai

Betapa kumenyadari
Di dalam hidupku ini
Kau slalu memberi rancangan terbaik
Oleh karena kasih

Reff:
Bapa, sentuh hatiku, ubah hidupku
Menjadi yang baru
Bagai emas yang murni
Kau membentuk bejana hatiku
Bapa, ajarku mengerti sebuah kasih
Yang selalu memberi
Bagai air mengalir
Yang tiada pernah berhent
