Removing Cancerous Growths

Preparing for a healing session with fasting, ...is a self chastening act, contrite, acknowledging one's own sinful state-, short comings, lacking and comes with an individual's  sincerity and desire for healing ...You are preparing yourself to be cleanse in an act of total surrender....so that when you come before the Lord, the spirit and  soul-prostrates themselves before the Healer, feeling sorry, humble, trusting..yet  full of appeal :-

".God, Father...in humility, and faith....I  come before Thy Divine Presence....I am sorry Father,  forgive, embrace me,...shower thy healing grace upon me...."

A healing session opens up a wounded person's pain kept locked away in his heart...clean up the wound, flush out the dirt....paving the way to healing and  ridding  a person of his  cancerous turmours which had been eating away at his essence ; restoring his well being.

Yours Truly, had, had the opportunity of attending  a healing camp , many , many moons ago...this was  held over a three days period, and attended by affluent business persons, children of high profiled corporate figures, successful people, and managers like yours truly.....and they all had issues, locked away in their hearts, which needed to be flushed out. Some of the issues were so painful , the unlocking process was like a lash of violent tempest and it took tremendous efforts on the part of the leaders, (luckily they were all trained individuals  with some of them in the medical profession) to guide a person out of his distress. She understood their painful secrets and  guilts   had obstructed their progress, their ability to  live  life, as they should  etc...etc.. . 

After the  unburdening and flushing out of the cancers.. many attendees reported a definite lightening of their hearts , clarity and a surge of confidence and energy to move forward.   Those days, we pay for such healing camps and they don't come cheap. She was fortunate because her then company considered her important enough to sponsor her camp, after one of the bosses, came back full of  marvellous testimonies to share.

Friends,  Let the 1st Friday, of Dec be the day, you unlock your inner most heart- rid yourself of any guilts, unburden yourself and seek healing grace from the Lord God, that you may continue your journeys, free  of any cancers that may obstruct life's living. Take that all important step folks, it could very well change your whole horizon!!

Hate Traffic Jams!!

Recently, the weather had turned crazy, dark clouds, torrential rain and floods everywhere . If there is no rain, the sun would be so blazing hot, you just want to shut yourself inside the house, stay in behind heavy curtains....until, the rays loses its biting heat. Travelling to and fro highways, in such unpredictable weather is a battle....Yours Truly does not drive an auto, she has a lovable manual and it is an absolute ahhhhdoi all the way.... brakes, clutch......her feet cries for mercy....whenever there is a massive traffic jam ...you know the type that locks in the traffic and you have to play the balancing act....

To stay ahead, one needs precise and calculated actions, an alert mind, a little foresight to anticipate movement .....to stay ahead of the bottled up jam....fast action, grap any opportunities you can ...it is a survival of the fittest out there , A quick  ....out.. and a fast zoom into  a moving lane OoooR....... you could be like Yours Truly, when she finds herself boxed in, she would slowly inch out much to the annoyance of other sleeker and more macho drivers....There would be an instant Blarrrrrrrr! Poohhhrrrrr.poohhorrrr!!!!and she would raise an apologetic hand and mouthed a "sorry, sorry, sorry!!" across...Ladies would show a very sour face...and the men??? normally with a non too polite gesture.....Care two hoots.......It is a matter of , do something and you get moving ....stay passive and you  get stuck there for donkey years. Now, If only, she has a Chitty Chitty Bang! Bang! you know the little magical car that flies, she would zipped up and zoomed above each and everyone of them   and roar ahead of the whole crazy mass of mechanical tin cans!  Times like these, it would be  great to be a witch, in possesion of one of those wickedly powerful brooms..one sweep and the whole highway is clean....clear......Man!...what bliss....lording down the highway ...

The House of God

The  house of God, it is such a beautiful, sacred  place of refuge for a weary traveller, burden down by the daily trials and tribulations, the anxieties and the cares of daily living.....when the heart has misgivings and the paths obstructed by clouds of  confusion, and fear ....., when the road narrowed and fade into nothingnesss...and we do not know which direction to take....the dwelling place of God, becomes a sanctuary where divine clarity and peace, shines upon the faithful, who comes in faith to seek direction and place their trust in Him, our God and Father in heaven...

This writer sees the day of devotion,worship, praise -celebrating of the Eucharist as a re bonding and strengthening of our ties with the loving Father, our God. It is a time of detoxification....flushing out- the doubts,  the denial, the sinfulness. It is a day of grace and reassurance that we have a God and he watches over us....A rejuvenation of faith- a weekly family  reunion  - a joyous home-coming to the  Father's house and it always, always, gives her a very warm glow in her heart, not to mention nutrition to continue journeying.....

Friends, are you weary and tired and just want a shoulder to lean on?? This writer, she had been there before and the house of God, had always welcomed her and given her the comfort and the strength. Placing God in the centre of our lives, helps balance life's living, and somehow, night moves on into day, faster than you could imagine! PEOPLE!  FACT IS.....LIFE IS NEVER FAIR; IT IS GOD WHO MAKES THE DIFFERENCE....IT IS GOD WHO MAKES  LIFE WORTH LIVING AND PAVE THE WAY FOR US TO JOURNEY ON... 

The House of God, His Presence! A most comfortable shoulder to lean on indeed! It is here, you could pour out whatever you have in your heart and never, ever be slighted! Believe me!

Accountability

{The Lord Almighty says, "the day is coming when all proud and evil people will burn like straw. On that day, they will burn up and there will be nothing left of them. But for you who obey me, my saving power will rise on you like the sun and bring healing like the sun's ray. You will be as free and happy as calves let out of a stall. On the day when I act, you will overcome the wicked, and they will be like dust under your feet}. From the book of Malachi: 4.

These words  - the   promise of God's justice on the evil and the wicked ...that they become  dust...vapourising into nothing .....It is a warning...yet it's  like a very warm pair of arms holding the abused and victimized-close.....very close, whispering  comfort and solace to hearts maliciously thrashed and stabbed by the wickedness of others.... Wipe your tears, the Lord God sees all.....Evil doers will not escape the wrath of God....that's God's promise. We, the people of this Universe, irrespective, who we are....whatever our status , we are all accountable for our deeds......the faithful and the good will receive their rewards.. and the evildoers will burnt to naught!

A thought for the after life

Life after death....it is a subject which never bores because no one knows the actual answers and the more we speculate, the more interest is generated. Those who lost their breath for a moment or two and return, tells of entering a tunnel or seeing a beautiful light, and experiencing such beautiful peace that they want to enter the light and "cross over"  and that they had to be persuaded by the voices of the present to return to their bodies.....Truth or Myth???  We will never know until our soul is recalled and we walk that last journey. But the Book of Life tells us that there is definitely life after death and the good becomes like angels, living in the presence of the Lord God as his children.....Where we will go after death, really depends on how we live life in this temporary world of ours..

Someone recited a beautiful hymn today and mentioned that he would like it sung at his last goodbye when his time comes....Yours Truly could not help smiling...because she too has the habit of telling what she wants ahead of time.  We started this journey as a baby and bow out when our destiny has been fulfilled...no one knows when, but it is something,,every living being and creature must go through....That piece of puzzle must fall into place to complete the picture. But until the call comes,  life must  go on and within the boundaries given us. Happy living People!!!!

My Name is Khan, I am not a terrorist!!!

Shah Rukh Khan's & Kajol's

"My Name is Khan and I am not a terrorist" is a Hindi film with a difference....no dancing and singing but one which holds a strong social message,  pure,simple yet  forceful and strong- the appeal in the message  reaching out- gripping  and capturing your heart and somehow, comprehension of the awesome truth, brought forth the realisation that within each of us...resides that same  hope for respect, understanding, friendship- oneness with socieity, community, acceptance for what and who we are, irrespective of race, colour, creed or religion,  etc..and you teared from the sheer want , the needs, the call of the message ... . It is  cleverly projected through the simple minded and child like innocence of  the autistic Shahrukh Khan's character who suffers from Asperger's Syndrome. It was painful to watch him become  disorientated by the effects of  the  colour yellow and society does not understand. It takes just one person's understanding and care to make a difference!

His mother's love and his innocent trust in her words which makes the child, the grown up man..... cannot be more strongly projected .....how important it is to be cherished , nourished and taught well , from young.... good religious beliefs and upbringing, it keeps a person's light glowing throughout  his years..-

THERE ARE ONLY TWO TYPES OF PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD....THE GOOD AND THE BAD.....

We could, all of us learn from the  pure goodness, engaging truthfulness, single-mindedness, -and determination .of this autistic man , who goes out to meet the President and succeed....another message that ...nothing is impossible...if you have the will, the drive and of course the belief. .........Religion, Race,  colour, creed, what does it matter?????.....it is the heart, the soul.... which matters...People's Actions towards others.....are you a good person who does good or a Bad person who does bad, bad things.....?????  Having a Muslim name and being Muslim, does not mean, that person is a terrorist......Far from it...

Says, this writer- this message is applicable to the many  social differences which rears it ugly head in our own societies as well........being of a different Race, colour or Religion.....Christians, Hindus, Buddhists etc....  does not mean they, the people of other faith.. or race-should be treated badly or differently by any community...No community should be singled out and treated badly....just because of some bad apples in their community...there are bad apples in all society but that does not mean...all the apples are rotten....God created us equally, no different from the other....We are all brothers and sisters, with the same basic needs, equal rights to life on earth...... fellow travellers embarking on the journey of life....homeward bound.....GOD IS ONE. The only question is- Are you on the side of Goodness where the light shines or from the Bad side where darkness reign?????

Awesome, view this movie and learn something from it! It is completely captivating!!!!

Tribute to Mum

Thank you Mum, the years of sacrifice and love.....You were always there. but we, zoomed in and out....when time and mood  permits....We did not appreciate enough how precious, a mother's presence and love until God took you home.. and we became mothers and parents ourselves.......the years brought forth more understanding, and a thousand memories of your strength....and we realise....  no matter how much thanks are showered,......we still could not  thank you enough -for .........everything -just about everything mum! Thank you...

I slipped into God's presence today and prayed - He has brought you up to heaven, and bestowed His Peace  upon your soul  and   now you twinkle and shine among the stars above.....

Potluck Night-Lovely!!

Wink of an eye and October ends.... and time moves on.... Meaningful and beautiful, Tonights' rosary session ....and already, the prayer goes ahead for more prayerful, connected and bonding  Rosary Fellowships for the next year. And our very own Team Leader for the night says- Thank you all! A round of applause to all -those who opened their houses for Rosary and all who participated.! Heart warming and  endearing! 

And People!  the spread of lip smacking , finger licking tasties were sooooOOO good.......this writer forgot  her self imposed rule, eat sparingly at night..... and chomped in  more than she should. Probably the lovely blessing of the food added an irresistible  flavour and a touch of heavenly  goodness to tempt the taste buds of all who gathered for this special night. of  fellowship.

Man! does she love the ikan bilis  sambal and chicken rendang! Malu ! Malu! but, she shamelessly "ta pau" some ...Even taste good  with bread  her good sister assures her! Great stuff! Thanks all , especially Mr. & Mrs Host for the night , we sure wipe out  your prawn curry, didn't we ??? Drinks andddd... coffee as well -courtesy of the house,  wow! The fruits were big+++sss and the writer's very own Nonya  cakes sure added to the evening's sweetness! God Bless - People! Cheers!!!!!

The Faith that we Pray-Concluding session

 Praying from the heart and with the heart...reaching up to God. with absolute  belief.   Yours Truly  thought that was so beautiful...it describes perfectly the creation of a daily covenant...a splendid bond of love between man and his God..the Father.YT always felt that the crux of  growth  in our relationship with God ...is the capacity to deep feeling, from the interior ...reaching out until it  touches our Lord and our God and His total response to our call; embracing us. Sure, standard prayers  are important....but what she values most are spontaneous conversations with God, in the privacy of church and home.  They are more meaningful , because ...they come from herself, arising from her heart...

She came specially to seek  and comprehend the essence and  depth  of the Lord's Prayer. It may appear simple enough but the significance of each word, each phrase used must contain a wealth of meaning and purpose... Why is it known as the  total prayer???The CCC did not disappoint, but it is St. Augustine's reflections that provides the most nourishment and clarity.... the dark corridors are finally well lit.

"The Faith that we Pray" , was, brilliantly expressed.. A lot of efforts and work must have gone into the preparation...This writer is not going to thank the good Presenter, because he knows he has done a good job and that is satisfaction in itself. But if she could be so  permitted ......she thought the presenter's choice and use of words just brillant...with depths to depict  a thousand pictures...depending on how deep you want to peer into the ocean of knowledge. ...

Breaking up

A radio station, offered to hand over the " Dear John letter "  for anyone who does not know how to sing the  "wanna break up with you" song....and guess what? someone actually called in and asked this radio station to inform his fiancee of three years that their relationship had lost its sparkle and he wants to break up with her...all that on  national radio! Is he a jerk , an idiot or what???? People!What do you make of that???  Created drama or  a joke by the radio station or what????

The deejays actually called up the poor girl and very clumsily broke the sorry news to her! Totally unethical.Those  deejays should be suspended for even considering such an act!  It was obvious from the way the message was relayed that they ,the deejays were totally lacking in sensitivity...(this writer cringed  when she heard the exchange of x and ys) that girl was absolutely right! It was none of their @&;!!pqx???...business !!! That is crossing the line! Please!!!!And they thought it was funny ...going on and on....such a heart breaking, private matter over national radio.., names and all.....Man! how hurtful! how humiliated that poor girl must have felt...bad enough to be dumped after three years of relationship ..but to be fried over national radio???  Poor taste! Totally disgusting...the radio station should be hauled up for that horrible act! What if the humiliation were too much for the poor girl to bear and she does something stupid??? Will the radio station take responsibility??? 

Truly shocking! Beyond redemption! Not  even worth a cent !  What sort of a worm is that to humiliate the woman in his live in such a way???. She is certainly better off without him. He does not deserve her at all! Annie, honey! there are loads of good men out there, chin up and start life a new! Thank your lucky stars...you were not yet married to that monster...marriage to such a @@##?? would mean life long misery! A lucky escape!

This writer says, if  for some reason, any party ( could be either man or woman)wishes to breakup with their partner...for goodness sake....have the decency to do it privately....You owe the other party...that much respect , dignity, face, pride, goodwill and feelings....It is a very private matter and it involves just the two of you...bear that in mind! Over national radio???-what nonsense! Has the world gone bananas????
