Anugrah

adalah sebuah anugrah bagiku ketika aku muda mengivestasikan waktuku untuk melayani Tuhan dan belajar tidak hidup egois dengan banyak berdoa dan memikirkan kepentingan orang,,hmhm
Anugrah yang sangat besar itu ketika aku tidak memikirkan kesenanganku tetapi mencoba berfikir untuk kesenangan orang lain.
melayani dan bukan dilayani ,sebuah kata yang sangat memotivasiku  ,aku bersyukur kalau sampai saat ini aku Tuhan kasih kesempatan untuk melayani Dia padahal begitu banyak anak muda diluar sana yang memiliki talenta ,pintar,dan punya ide-ide kreatif dibanding dengan aku sebenarnya,,,hehehe
tapi itu bukan lah menjadi masalah saat itu tetapi menjadi ucapan syukur kalau kita dipilih-Nya menjadi perpanjangan tangan-Nya atas sekeliling kita,,hoho

terkadang aku sedih dan berdoa akan teman-temanku yang seumuran dengan aku dan bahkan diats dan dibwahku..aku sedih ketika melihat pergaulan mereka yang hancur,mencari kesenangan yang padahal membwa mereka kedalam gelap,berbicara sesuka hati mereka menggunakan mulut yang Tuhan kasih yang harusnya digunakan untuk memuji dan menyembah DIA tapi malah sebaliknya,mencaci maki orang,berkata kotor,hmhm banyak hal lahh
terkadang pintar secara akademik tapi secara karakter dan perkataan jauh dari yang diharapkan adalah sebuah hasil sia-sia.
dunia memang menawarkan semua itu tanpa harus memiliki tutur kata yang baik, hati yang mau diam dan tenang. tapi akankah kita selamanya hidup didunia????
mau kah kita belajar memberkati orang dengan perkataan yang benar???
maukah kita memelihara mulut kita ntuk memuji Tuhan??
hmhmhmh.....
pertanyaan yang terlihat ngampang tapi sulit terkadang dijwab..

Bahagia Itu Anugrah Besar

Terkadang ketika berbicara bahagia banyak orang berfikir dan memahami kalau saat-saat ini tolak ukur manusia itu tersenyum adalah UANG. namun tidak banyak juga orang menyadari rasa damai dan sukacitalah yang lebih berharga dari semua yang ada didunia ini.

berbicara tentang rasa sukacita atau sering disebut dengan rasa senang memiliki pemahaman dan pengertian yang sangat berbeda-beda antara satu dengan lain walaupun terlahir dari satu keluarga yang sama akan tetapi pola pikir dan paradigma tetap jadi pilihan kita ketika kita menjadi dewasa ketika kita memiliki  keluarga yang lumayan tegas dan disiplin dan protectif,memang membuat kita terkadang sukar bergaul,risih merasa ngak gaul, mungkin ngak punya teman,ngak bisa have fun malam,,atau apapun itu yang disebut remaja sekarang  adalah suatu kebahagiaan dan kenikmatan dan kepuasaan ketika bisa merasakan dunia ini dengan bebas dengan banyak  orang ,tidak terkecuali dengan orang yang belum kita kenal atau yang bahkan baru beberapa menit kita kenal dan go on kita langsung jalan..hmhm bukan berarti kita hanya bisa bergaul dengan orang benar yahh,,hmhm

No,  tetapi tidak kah kita mencoba untuk bersyukur ketika kita diprotect oleh orang tua kita dan saudra kita ada suatu pagar yang kuat yang tidak akan membawa kita kedalam jurang yang membahayakan dan ketika pondasi itu telah kuat dengan sendirinya pasti akan kita temui orang-orang yang menurut kita gaul dan akan menjadi teman kita yahhh ketika kita berada dalam dunia yang sekarang ini serba modern,instan,tidak sulit untuk memiliki teman dari kalangan orang baik sampai dengan yang menurut kita tidak baik.
dan akan sangat bagus ketika kita terjun dalam semua itu kita miliki dasar yang teguh untuk menjadi terang diantara gelap,,hohhoho
maksud nya adalah ketika kita keluar dari protec yang sangat kuat dan kita hidupi menjadi disiplin maka bergaul sma siapapun tidak akan membuat kita hancur, dan kita akan menjadi berkat dan bisa membawa teman kita yang hilang sukacita normal nya mendpat sukacita yang pasti tanpa harus menyiksa dirinya membuat seolah-olah kebahagiaan itru didapat dari dia bergaul dengan yang tidak benar,tapi dia sadar kebahagiaan itu adalah suatu anugrah besar yang Tuhan kasih dengan memiliki keluarga yang damai,rukun.

Bahagia itu adalah Anaugrah besar yang Tuhan kasih untuk aku boleh nikmatin dan syukuri,,knpa??
banyak diluar sana yang memiliki banyak uang.,pnddikan tinggi tapi tidak bahagia,,hmhm
syang bukan???????
bahagiaku adalah ketika aku bersyukur akan apa yang telah Tuhan ntuk hdupku dan aku nikmatin tanpa harus aku iri dengan apa yang dimiliki oleh orang lain
banyak orang mengira orang bahagia karena bisa kuliah,pnya duit tapi itu semua  tidak disyukuri,itu semua akan mendatngkan sungut-sungut dan ketidaknyamanan.
belajar bersyukur itu penting karena dengan bersykur kita menikmati Hidup didalam Tuhan.kita bisa melihat keadaan orang-orang yang masih dibawah kita tanpa harus melihat keatas terus,dan intinya kita dapatkan kebahagiaan yang sesungguhnya,,

SO BAHAGIALAH KARENA ITU SEBUAH ANUGRAH yang hrus DINIKMATI
