Fu Shan Garden, Small Cherry Tree (20 July 2011)
At the mountain of Fu Shan Garden, you can see two Buah Cherry Trees — one big and one small. The photograph of the big one was captured and posted some time ago; as I had found a white feather on it. This time, a small special feather, consisting of grey and yellow feather was found on the small cherry tree instead. This small cherry tree is shown in the photograph above and the feather attached to the leaf, is shown in the photograph below.

Where there is light, there can be no darkness.
It is 1.36am, and I am very tired. However, this is the only time I had with Isaac sleeping now. I want to share with you what I had experienced…
This evening, while I was having ‘my retreat’ in the bathroom, totally tired, having no more energy left… bathing was not even refreshing! I suddenly heard CRIES!!! What kind of CRIES? It was CRIES of Pain and even perhaps Sorrows. Scary voice. Where does the sound come from? Outside the window…
Faith On Fire
This morning, I had a long dream which I cannot remember the details now and most of the scenes. But something stayed in my mind. It was that of fire. It was an EXACT SCENE of my kitchen balcony (Laundry Area). Over there, my clothes was on the metal rack. It caught fire!! I was wondering what to do and then in the next moment, Clara and I were putting out the fire. Even the container that I had seen in the dream was exactly the same as what it was now, the current blue one that I had bought from Woodgrove…
After I had finished my bath, I had to look after Isaac again. While Richard had gone out of the room to help to make milk for Isaac, something miraculous again happened in the room.
POWER and GREATNESS of GOD
I always on the fan and press three times (for the highest speed). This time, I walked to the fan as usual and did the same thing while Isaac was in my arms. When I carried Isaac, what was on my mind? I looked at the winged angel that was placed on Richard’s table, and pondering over what I had read about Winchester Mystery House…24 July……next, my eyes looked at the fan. To my surprise, it was motionless. The fan did not move at all. The plastic blades of the fans DID NOT MOVE at all!!! Imagine that if we need to off the fan, I would need to press again three times on the button, and then the blades would SLOWLY reduce speed and come to a stop finally. BUT in this case, within such a short time, it is so unbelievable that the fan had just stopped by itself and NO SOUND even!!! (If I off it manually, pressing the buttons, it would produce sound)…
Faith
Doubt sees the obstacles, faith sees the way.
Doubt sees the dark of night, faith sees the day.
Doubt dreads to take a step, faith soars on high.
Doubt questions, “who believes”, faith answers, “I”.
GOD COMES TO US 19th SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
SCRIPTURE REFLECTION (CHURCH OF DIVINE MERCY, Parish Bulletin)
In the Bible, mountains are traditionally places for encounters with God. Such encounters usually are accompanied by spectacular occurrences such as fire, wind, earthquakes, and storms. But this was not Elijah’s experience. God came to him in an unexpected way: as a tiny whispering sound.
In the Gospel passage, after Jesus had fed the multitudes he went up the mountain to pray. Jesus sought time alone with God.
What an example that is to us! Meanwhile, the disciples are struggling in the middle of a storm. Jesus comes down from the mountain and walks on the water toward them. Though they know Jesus, they are frightened by what they see him doing. But he speaks to them and calms their fears.
In both of these stories, God comes into human experience – Elijah meets God, but he had to be willing to find him in a way he did not expect. The disciples were afraid of meeting God, but they had to open their eyes and take courage, trusting it is indeed the Lord. These passages show us that when God comes, we need to trust him.
I will walk in the presence of the Lord, in the land of the living. — Psalm 116:9
My Post is supposed to end here, but something EXTRA to add:
Feast of The Dead
Now is the Chinese Seventh Month. The time is 2.15am now. As I was looking back at my post for hyperlinking, Richard and I heard strange sound, loud. Twice already. It is 6 August 2011, Saturday, Chinese, 七月初七…
