LAUGHTER IS GOOD FOR YOUR HEART

Medical study shows laughter may help prevent heart disease, the study found that people with heart disease were 40 percent less likely to laugh in a variety of situations compared to people of the same age without heart disease.

Thankful Hearts

The world has taught us "public relation" through the schools and work places - we give to receive. Or even, we give to even out the favour we received. The concept of pride is deep rooted in us.

Colossians 3 is a good reading material to remind ourselves that God's grace is beyond our comprehension.

"Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry. Because of these, the wrath of God is coming. You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived.. clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

The act of thanksgiving allows us to humble before the mighty one, and grow into the image of Christ.



Perhaps many are in pain due to the current financial crisis. Thank God for the roof over our head, caring spouse/friends/family, our good health, creative minds, etc. May this video encourage ourselves that there are many important challenges ahead of us in enjoying life.

Hope of the Christmas, When You Believe

Many nights we've prayed
With no proof anyone could hear
In our hearts a hopefull song
We barely understood

Now we are not afraid
Although we know there's much to fear
We were moving mountains long
Before we knew we could

There can be miracles, when you believe
Though hope is frail, it's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles you can achieve
When you believe, somehow you will
You will when you believe

In this time of fear
When prayers so often prove(s) in vain
Hope seems like the summer birds
Too swiftly flown away

Yet now I'm standing here
My heart's so full I can't explain
Seeking faith and speaking words
I never thought I'd say

There can be miracles, when you believe
Though hope is frail, it's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles you can achieve
When you believe, somehow you will
You will when you believe

Fw: Fun ways to de-stress!
