Sail your Ship

"A Ship is always safe at the shore - but that is NOT what it is built for" - Albert Einstein

Well, this saying is surely true. There are storms and high waves in the sea that can sink even a huge ship. But at the shore, even a little ship is much safer, it doesn't need to fear the storms in the sea. But, what is the function of a ship if it just docks at the shore? A ship is built to cross the deep blue sea passes through even the biggest storms and waves. Surely it's very dangerous and life risking, but what a joy we can have if we can pass through them. What a great excitement to defeat the huge storms and waves.

The same thing happens in many aspects of our life. Each of us has our own talent(s). Try to figure out what your talent(s) is/are. And never keep that for yourself, for what is the function of your talent(s) if you don't let it/them work(s) out? Work your talent(s), and let it/them fruit(s) endlessly. Share the grace with the others. And you'll harvest even more.

So, never let our ship docked at the shore. But let's sail it and cruise over seas, to reach the fartest shore, to find the lost land. And remember that, the LORD is never away from us.

Strange Dream - My Best Friend

Now, when I write this, the time shows 4.45 am. I was awake this early because of the strange dream I've just had. Here is my dream. First I and one of my fellow teacher were in a jungle, we were hunted by what looked like a troop of Western soldiers with a helicopter. We hid in a river bank, n it's really cold. (I think it's because of the fan in my bedroom, he....) The dream went on. I was separated from my fellow teacher. And appeared a girl from my church. (In real life, I don't have any feeling for this girl, but she has ever showed that she had feeling for me, wakaka...) And came out one of my best friends. The dream changed that I was not hunted by the soldiers anymore, but I had a deadly disease that I was going to die soon, LOL.... Then I felt very sad, not because I would leave any girl (that girl, I think), but I would leave my best friend that I couldn't help him to handle his problem again. What a strange dream.
Well, he is one of my friend. But now, I seldom have time to sit or chat with him again. At the time, he's just had a very unconvenient event (I don't know which term is better to express his bad experience) and had changed his personality a lot. He is not he was again, some of my friends said that. But, in time such this, I didn't do anything to help him. And even seldom share my time with him. I know I have to be there to help him, to give him courage to sail the storm and and tsunami of life. From now on, I will try to arrange more of my time for him.
As a saying says that, it's much more difficult to maintance a friendship than to find a friend. It's totally correct. That's why, appreciate your friends highly. Make good friend with them. Share your shoulders for them when they have problem. Making good friends just like building a house out of diamonds. If it's dirty, you'll have to polish it until it shines brightly. If you lose it, it will make your house is not as beauty as before. Finally, let's build a house of friendships together on a strong foundation: love, care, share, joy, understanding and time. Happy friendships everyday.
To all of my friends, and you, I LOVE YOU Friends...
