My friend, Tresia from Virginia, sent me a video as you can see it HERE.

When I was watching it, I really cried, it wasn’t only a lot of tears, until I myself heard my crying sound. I hadn’t cried so long after my husband was sick +2 years ago. So, what the reason did I become crying? I think I saw the reality story of this video. I saw how big the father loved his son. He never said ‘No’ to his paralyzed son that wanted to do something together to reach an uneasy and challenging goal. I saw the face and actions of the father who showed his truly love to his son. There were no complains but I saw them as great Team was on fire to reach an uneasy and challenging goal. They made it!!! I heard my crying sound louder and louder, like a child. I was worried if my daughter saw me like that, it made her confused or afraid why I cried like a little child. I thought I cried because how impressive I was and could not tell anything about this video with my words.

This video reminded me about my father. When I decided to study to the university, he proposed to get retirement soon from Navy 1 year earlier. They asked him not to do it because they would send him to Japan but he refused it. He actually really wanted to go to Japan but he thought me was more important than going to Japan. He was planning to focus in his new business soon he had just started at that time. He said that he needed a lot of money to send me to the university, but if he just made money from the government, it would not be enough, so he wanted to build his business soon and he could make money more than he was in Navy. Right now after many years, his business has become like his dream.

Usually we value a prayer through how the person can express his/her prayer in the words and sentences. We will say his/her prayer is good, very good, nice, very nice, wonderful prayer, etc because of the words/sentences he/she mentions. Is it true? Sometimes I think it is fine as long as the prayer can touch our heart and can invite our heart and soul closer to HIM. But one thing appears as a question, does he/she say the prayer from the bottom of his/her heart? We can not judge him/her, just HE would know very deeply the bottom of his/her heart.

Talking about ‘Prayer’, it reminds me to my beloved Father. When everyone of us (I am sure) prays for ourselves, we will go to the quite room and start to say the prayer in our heart without any words come out from our mouth, but not for him. I was always impressed every time I heard he said the prayer in his room, I could hear everything he mentioned and was always ended it with ‘The Lord’s Prayer’ (Doa Bapa Kami). Every time he prayed, it was always ended by that prayer.

Through that simple example, we should take an important learning that we should not forget the prayer that Jesus ever taught more than 2000 years ago. He taught us from that prayer, we should not be egoist to put our needs in the first place, but we should worship HIM first as God of God, Lord of the Lord then would be continued with the others as we can learn together that prayer below:

Dear the X-Written Readers,

Syalom!

This time I would like to share something different and interesting. It is about a song. Hopefully through this song, the blessing of God can get through to our soul. Enjoy!

MySpace

One of my favourite Christian Singers in USA is Paul Baloche. His voice, his music, his songs that he wrote are great. As I have attached his songs on my playlist on the right side of my Blog, I locate his several songs on the top of my playlist. Praise Adonai is my favourite. The lyric, the beat/rythm and the colour of its music in this song is really creative. The original of this song, automatically you can hear it when you visit my Blog and the video of his acoustic show of Praise Adonai, you can see it through this link.

Yang Maha Tahu
kutak dapat memahami
saat ‘Jangan!’
Engkau katakan kepadaku
kuingin tuntaskan segala perkara
tanpa menunggu terlalu lama
aku tahu apa yang kurasa

sekali lagi Engkau berulang ‘Jangan!’
apakah maksud-Mu?
aku ingin pergi ke arah sana
namun Engkau tunjukkan ke arah lain
aku tak memahami
apakah maksud-Mu?
