Jesus,
Charity activities should focus more on intellectual activities,
such as law firms protecting the poor.
These law firms are non-profit companies.
They will protect the poor in lawsuits about land, environment, employment…
Protecting freely.
The law firms will pay attorneys salaries
from funding sources and the winning cases.
A way of helping the poor at the root level,
and also a way helping society become more fair,
do you think so?
Amen.
PTH
Jesus,
How you eat with sinners,
please help me do with them like that.
Thank you, Jesus.
Amen.

* Luke 5:27-32 New International Version (NIV)
Jesus Calls Levi and Eats With Sinners
27 After this, Jesus went out and saw a tax collector by the name of Levi sitting at his tax booth. “Follow me,” Jesus said to him, 28 and Levi got up, left everything and followed him.
29 Then Levi held a great banquet for Jesus at his house, and a large crowd of tax collectors and others were eating with them. 30 But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law who belonged to their sect complained to his disciples, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”
31 Jesus answered them, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. 32 I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”
Dear brothers and sisters,
I want to tell you a little about dipterocarpus seeds (hạt dầu).
Dipterocarpus is the third-largest and most diverse genus among the family Dipterocarpaceae. The family name, from the type genus Dipterocarpus, is derived from Greek (di = two, pteron = wing and karpos = fruit) and refers to the two-winged fruit.
Dipterocarpus has about 70 species, occurring in Southeast Asia. The species are well known for timber, but less acknowledged for use in traditional herbal medicine. Đọc tiếp Heart seed with wings

Chúc mừng sinh nhật ĐCN – Xuân thứ 12!
Wow, 12 năm trôi qua như một sát na. Mình đến với ĐCN từ những ngày đầu tiên, năm 2009, khi còn là sinh viên đại học năm cuối. Thực ra Thu Hương có nhắc nên mình mới nhớ.
Trong 12 năm, mình có duyên chứng kiến, gặp gỡ bao người đến với ĐCN cũng như chia tay bao người đi trên hành trình tìm kiếm và phát triển tâm linh. Hạnh phúc khi thấy bao người ngày càng trưởng thành khai mở tâm linh và buồn khi thấy bao người ngày càng đi vào con đường tăm tối. Đọc tiếp 12 năm – một bước khám phá trái tim để yêu người
Jesus,
I need empty spaces.
I need you.
Empty spaces is your time.
Time to heal.
Time to be still.
Please give me empty spaces
and help me discover, accept and enjoy empty spaces you give.

Jesus,
I’m calm today through meeting a liar,
or a person who is arrogant,
or a person who manipulate others…
I’m calm today through it’s hot, or the humidity is high,
or I am tired, or I have a headache/a toothache…,
or our plan has to be changed at the last minute…
I’m calm today though the winds of change and chance unexpectedly come.
Thank you, Jesus.
Amen

Jesus,
A job I love is writing.
Writing about lovely and peaceful things in life.
Things about you and your world.
Do you want me to follow that path?
If you want,
please give me whatever you think I need.
A tender and calm heart, for example. 🙂
Do whatever you want.
I only ask you to give me a heart that knows how to listen to you and follow you.
I love you, Jesus.
Amen

Chào các bạn,
Tôi sẽ theo chàng – I will follow him là bài hát nổi tiếng được Franck Pourcel thu âm đầu tiên vào năm 1961, lúc đó là nhạc không lời với tựa đề Chariot. Bài hát đạt thành công lớn nhất khi được ca sĩ người Mỹ Little Peggy March thu âm với lời bài hát tiếng Anh vào năm 1963. Phần nhạc được Franck Pourcel (bút danh J.W. Stole), Paul Mauriat (bút danh Del Roma) viết và được Arthur Altman sửa. Phần lời tiếng Anh được Norman Gimbel viết. (dịch từ wikipedia)
Dưới đây là 4 clips, gồm clip nhạc không lời Chariot đầu tiên; hai clip do Peggy March hát năm 1963 (khi chị 15 tuổi) và 50 năm sau, năm 2013; cuối cùng là clip trong phim Sister act (Khi các sơ hành động). Đọc tiếp Tôi sẽ theo chàng

Jesus,
“There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under the heavens:
a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing, Đọc tiếp Prayer 756
Jesus,
Please use me as a tool in your plans for growing VN and the world.
