What if you found out that God had it in mind to send you twenty-three specific blessings today, but you only got one?
There's a story about a Mr. Jones who dies and goes to heaven. St. Peter is waiting at the gates to give him a tour. Heaven is quite an amazing place, but in the middle of all the stunning sights, Jones notices a wierd looking building--sort of an enormous warehouse. When he asks Peter to see inside, peter hesitates. "Ah, you really don't want to look in there," he tells the new arrival.
But Jones can't stand not knowing a secret. What could be waiting fot me in there? he wonders. So he argues until his tour guide gives in.
When Peter opens the door, Mr. Jones almost knocks him over in his hurry to get in. What he sees is row after row of shelves, floor to ceiling, each stacked neatly with white boxes tied with red ribbons.
"These boxes all have names on them," Jones mutters aloud. Then turning to Peter he asks, "Do I have one?"
"Oh, sure," Peter says. Then he tries to get Jones to leave. But Jones won't be stopped. He dashes towards the J aisle. There are only 640 billion Joneses in heaven, so it doesn't take him long to find his box. Looking inside, Jones has a moment of instand recognition. Then he lets out a deep sigh, because there in Mr. Jones's white box are all the blessings that God wanted to give him while he was on earth, but Mr. Jones never asked.
Moral: " You do not have beacuse you do not ask" (James 4:2). "Ask," promised Jesus,"and it will be given to you...
I can't believe that i even started reading 'The prayer of Jabez for teens'. Guess that mayb sometimes i was bored and i hate to admit it's kinda interesting.
Anyway, I went for the Talent search in Tp Auditorium yesterday. It was way cool. The singing and playing and stuff. Some of them has really good voices. Think they should all join Singapore Idol. haha.
Had a debate on GM food today for life science tut. It was fun! Although my grp only had one guy and me. Pathetic. Haha. Really hope it helps to bring my overall marks up. Don't want to waste my time taking the cds but failing it in the end.
