Life lessons from the South Feast

As the last talk on the series "A life of No Regrets..." has been delivered by Bro. Arun (with the celebration of his birthday) the other Sunday at the South Feast, I have realized many things. Sometimes, like Esau, we are offered a soup bowl in exchange for a big part of ourselves. That is the test of life. According to him, our answers to the test in life will determine our destiny. Will we exchange our family, our career, our faith, our dignity for a soup bowl?
He also shared things we will never regret in life...

10 Things You'll Never Regret
1. Serving others
2. Developing your core gift
3. Asking forgiveness
4. Forgiving a person who hurt you
5. Helping others grow
6. Spending time with love ones
7. Refraining from gossip when others around you delight it
8. Refusing to do something wrong
9. Going out of your comfort zone
10. Sacrificing your life for your life mission.


In summary, we have to LIVE DELIBERATELY!

Happy birthday Bro. Arun!

Last Sunday, Gold went with me to the South Feast, together with the kids. The two of them attended the children's ministry, although at first Asher doesn't want to attend, Ate Angela persuaded him telling him that they will ride the racing car after.

It was the beginning of a new Series (6 talks), the AWAKEN Series. It's about health and healing. Session 1 is HEALER. God has given us the power to heal ourselves. We just have to awaken the healer in us. As most of us expects that we'll we sickly and weak when we grow up, so our body will follow what our mind tells. According to Bro. Arun, that is called the Power of Expectation.

"Don't expect that you'll be sickly when you grow old. Expect that you'll be healthy!" And since we expect that are healthy, we can still play with our great grandchildren and at the same time we'll not be a burden to our children and our family. Starting today, I won't think that all old people will get sick and are weak...I'll be stronger and will live longer without getting sick... :)
