giving praise?? minta pujian??

last night, Philo buat makan-makan gathering... kinda messy, a lot of people! ~32 of us in the house! stuffy, warm... full!

from 3.30pm, started to clean up the living room and kitchen, plus the foyer, cook the chicken soup for steamboat... thank God, everything ready and tidy (to my standard la, at least lebih luas ;)
walked in and out in the midst of the feast... right after they left, kemas barang, mop lantai+meja... fuuh, selesai, bersih, it's amazing that all done within 1 or 2 hour! by 12am, dah siap! good workout!

kalau biasa, memang malas mau buat! kalau bukan kekuatan Tuhan, saya takkan dapat lakukannya, dengan peluh sekali! Thank You, Lord...

...

ok, Yvonne asked me bout her potato salad, whether it's nice or not. well, usually for me, as long as it's edible, it's all ok unless the food really bad! whenever people ask me this kind of questions, i honestly don't know how to answer them, in pproper way and of course with sincerity.

then, a thought came in: "...i don't know how say it, how it tastes in my mouth, whether it makes me feel good, but since you have put your effort and love in preparing it, for that i'm going to give you praise..."

it is not the things we do to please God, things physically we think God is pleased with, seeing and 'tasting' these things we do... but He sees pass through all these which we human always see and aware of, into the source of our doings, our heart in doing them.

it's the passion which drives us to please God, from the inside out not actions which are more outwardly, right? hmm...

what is your passion of life?

It's true, what we do needs to come out from our hearts, otherwise we will get tired and burned out...
