Lesson from Michael Jackson

It's been one and a half weeks that MJ has died and today is his burial day. What can we learn from the life of this person?

I'm not here to judge him as I don't have total truth of him. However, based on various account of his life, his childhood is indeed very pitiful.

The lesson that I've learnt is that when something bad happen in one's life, the way you respond is very important. Responding in a proper way will strengthen you and responding in an improper way will destroy you. When there's damage in one's life, it has to be dealt with and get it resolved internally, otherwise it will continue to haunt you even though you thought you can forget about it or ignore it.

God always want us to respond well and get healing from all these damages rather than to run away from it or to use human effort to resolve it. There has been many accounts of people trying to resolve their damage by themselves and they thought that they have it under control, but they fail to see how it has impact in their life negatively in some cases. There are also many accounts of healing through God and how individuals are being released from the bondage of these damages.

God brings miracle through his healing and grace.

Surprise



I'm actually very surprise that news about my blog has been spreading. Almost everyone who mentioned about the blog send regards to Beckham :p

Some even scolded me for what has happened to him :p Indeed, I deserved to be scolded if not for God's intervention.

Anyway, this blog is not meant to talk about Beckham, so don't expect too much of his story.

Miracles usually occurs in crisis and it's really stressful to be in crisis.

However, since I'm in this topic talking about Beckham, I'll just share what we are doing with him right now.

Beckham sleeps with us in the same room. Usually I'll put him on the bed beside my pillow. One third of the bed is reserved for him on my left, I sleep in the middle and my wife on the other side.

Then in the middle of the night, he will usually jump down from the bed to take his supper. Then after that he'll have problem getting up the bed. So he will go to my wife side of the bed standing up and tapping on the edge of the bed so that she will wake up and carry him to the bed and he will walk over our bodies to reach to his pillow. He doesn't come to disturb me to carry him up cos I'm in the middle of the bed and will probably can't hear him :p

So lately, I'm thinking if we should get him a ladder for him to climb up to the bed himself. But instead of getting some sort of ladder, we are now trying make use of a platform at the side of the bed and training him to jump to the platform first, then to the bed. But apparently, he is a slow learner and still could not get up to the bed himself :p

Well, it's just 2 nights since we started this exercise... will see how things goes.
