When I gazed into His holiness...

Cola visited the vet yesterday for a review after a 5-weeks immunotherapy. The vet given a satisfactory comment and Cola managed to get back his real meat meal again. With the meat meal, he drank less water, and most importantly chew less ! My Sony TV and PS3 controller has been his latest victim apart from my flash drive.
Strangely, I have never getting really angry with Cola, after all he doesn't know what he was doing. When I look into his innocent face and glance, all things that he did wrong will be swiftly forgiven !
Often time, we as God's children, have behaved badly in the sight of God. Some times unknowingly, but most of the time knowingly. God has given His Holy Spirit to give us wisdom to tell the wrong from the right. When discipline from the Lord comes, we feel the pain, but thats what God's children should experienced.
"My son, do not make light if the Lord's discipline, and do not lose heart when he rebukes you, because the Lord disciplines those he loves, and he punishes everyone he accepts as a son" Hebrew 12: 5-6

Arm I allergic to the World ?

After months of recurring itch and red spot, we decided to take a plunge into getting Cola to do a skin allergy test. We want to once and for all determined what has caused Cola skin problem. The last time when we leave him at the dog sitter during CNY, he came back in a terrible state. Flakes all over his face and the eye swollen. Poor boy...
The test is call Intradermal Skin Allergy Test, or to common man like me, just ...allergy test. We brought him to a vet in Sunset Way in the morning of 14 April 2007. And was told to come back at 4pm. Since it was a Saturday, we went home and do our dreaded house chores, thinking that the vet will call when Cola was ready. But no call came, so we went down at about 5:30pm, and to our horror the vet was closed ! and Cola was still inside ! After some frantic calls, fortunately some nurse came back and get Cola out for us, what a relief ! I thought Cola will look ugly after the test, but he surprisingly looked very "punky" with the shaved patch, hee hee. We later got the test results and it showed Cola is allergic to dustmite, moth and black ants. So gotta do more house hold chores to make sure our place is really clean now.
I am fortunate that I am not allergic to any food or environmental factors. I do not get into hives or itch, and can practically ate anything without problem.
But I realized I may be allergic to the World. When we encountered temptation of money or power that the World will offer, do we not getting itchy in our heart to wanted to acquired those things, even it means we will sacrifice our relationship with Jesus and our loved one ?
For Cola, the cure for his allergy is steroids and Immunotherapy. For us, the cure is the Word of God.."Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is - his good, pleasing and perfect will" Roman 12:2

Being able to sleep is such a blessing !

Chinese New Year is around the corner, really look forward to have a good stretch of resting from work. Will take time to catch some sleep.
Cola is going to be 2 years old tomorrow. Happy Birthday Cola !
When I saw this photo, it reminds me of the great blessing that God gives me. I am able to sleep soundly every night, just like Cola. I need not worry about what tomorrow will bring, God has already taken care of my tomorrow. It reflect how life can be so wonderful with blessing that we often take for granted. I will imagine how many sleepless nights some ex-charity organizations high flyers have for the past years...
I received an email from my colleague, and it has a beautiful verses on "Guide for Happiness"
1) Free your heart from hate
2) Free your mind from worry
3) Live simple
4) Give More
5) Expect Less
Is this not what Jesus has always teach us ?

Cola, loved by his Master

After more than half a year, I have decided to add my little bulldog picture.
Work has been so tiring, Cola has always been a welcome relief from the day work.
He spend most of his day sleeping, and this show one of his favorite spot..under the massage chair.. since i decided to change the layout of my living room, and shift the massage chair, he has abandoned this spot.
In the midst of heavy workload and work problem, God has been so gracious. He see me through everyday, and the world problem has become so trivial when I see things from His perspective.
To God, I am just like my little bulldog, so lovingly cared and loved by his Masters.
