My Darling Niece...Baby talking

Amazing Grace...How sweet the sound.

This is an AMAZING movie that shouldn't be missed. It's a film full of inspiration and hope for a better a "better world". Went to watch it on my birthday. Not many cinemas are carrying this movie so i ended up going to a Village cinema in the middle of Sunshine all the way North of Melbourne just to watch it. Was so touched by the end of the movie! Great performance by a great cast. But most of all, great meaning and values that we can all benefit from...William Wilbur Force is indeed a man of valour and integrity. Not many to come by who would put his own life on the line to save the lives of others - strangers he did not know but had a compassion for. He could not stand to live comfortably while other human beings were treated as mere goods in the trading world for more profits and power.

There is only one other man in this world who would go to the lengths that William Wilbur Force went to....and beyond. Indeed, we know that Jesus went to great lengths to save us...a people who do not even know who He is, who perhaps didn't even want to know who He is. Yet, full of hope for a "better world" and to save those He loved, he would sacrifice everything, His very life, to save us...

Okok...back to the movie. You MUST WATCH!!

These weeks..have been bombarded by the need to not just sit on my butt as i witness all the injustice in this world. But what can I do? How can i help? Mere me?! Go the distance to some third world country? No it starts closer to home. Look around me and there are numerous people in poverty - not just physically. As much as I acknowledge that I am in poverty in some areas compared to others, many are as well. But let's look only at the physical poverty...so many homeless, jobless, sick, widowed, troubled children, drub addicts, criminals...people who feel they are at their road's end and have no where and no one to turn to. These people are normally shun by society and not thought of much by this "self-absorbed" society, like me. So, i have determined to make it my birthday "wish" to make myself available to one cause this year. Just one. Start small...to reach out to one group of people and to commit to do it consistently for the whole year. I hope I can do it...No! I will do it and I must do it. It's my responsibility as a decent human being to care for those who are lesser in circumstances. Greatly i have been blessed, i should bless others back.

The Amazing Grace of God has thought me that i am no better than the begger on the street when it comes to the value of being a human being, a creation of God. We are equal...All undeserving but have each received the greatest gift of life. So let's live this life in such a way to know that one day, i can look back and hope to be able to proclaim that the things i have done are meaningful and fulfilled...

"Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me....
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now, I see.


T'was Grace that taught...
my heart to fear.
And Grace, my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear...
the hour I first believed.


Through many dangers, toils and snares...
we have already come.
T'was Grace that brought us safe thus far...
and Grace will lead us home.


The Lord has promised good to me...
His word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be...
as long as life endures.


When we've been here ten thousand years...
bright shining as the sun.
We've no less days to sing God's praise...
then when we've first begun.


"Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,   
That saved a wretch like me....
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now, I see...
