Christmas at Sarbini

Yesterday Christmas celebration (Dec 23rd) at church was little bit different than years before. This xmas theme is Christmas Hope which means that christmas is supposed to bring hope to those who need.

This christmas as a church we appreciate some people in need, the first one is Pak Setiadi, he's one of the church member who always come early every sunday, helping prepare everything for the service like preparing brochure, drink, chair, etc. He's very humble person, he works as freelance worker, he lives in a very small house. His faith keeps him do little things to serve God. Rarely people recognize him at church before yesterday. We appreciate him on the stage and give him a buch of christmas gift. He deserve that.
The second one if one poor christian family who has 4 kids, 3 girls and 1 boy, they are not member of our church but we found them and this xmas we wanna bring hope to their life. They have a christmas dream of having a better life, 2 older girls wanna keep continue their school and 2 younger one wanna have a bicycle, because it takes 4 km for them to reach school, so if tey have bicycle, its easier for them. Then all happen this sunday. They have 1 year full scholarship for 2 kids and 2 bicycles for 2 kids.. Finally magic happen in their life..
I was so overwhelmed with how small things could bring such a great hope in people's life..

Yesterday Joy Tobing also presented 2 songs, its First Noel and We Are The Reason. The message from Ps. Jimmy Oentoro was beautiful..
On the closing message he said (more less)... If the world need wealth, then God will send the best finance manager, If the world need laughter, God will send a clown, But He knows the world need salvation, that's why He send His only Son, the Saviour to save all people.

Yes this is what christmas is all about.. bring hope to those who need and remind them again about the reason why Jesus come to this world..its for us to have an eternal life...

I also love the decoration we have yesterday, its very simple and nice...

I'm Back after almost 2 years

Just couldn't believe it..its almost 2 years since the last time i post in here.. Ethan has a brother already !!! YEAAAhhh.. and his name is CALVIN BENJAMIN SUKAMTO..and guess what .. he is 1 year old already :) Having 2 boys is making my life so much full of joy and energy. No wonder i lost my extra weight very fast without go on diet ..so good. Ethan already going to preschool near home. He's progressing fast on being independent. But still very slow on speaking properly but its okay..he still my beloved naughty little ethan. He likes to tease his brother his own way.But since i gave him time out several time after got his brother cry, now everytime Calvin cry near him, he suddenly run away of hide behind the couch or wall..afraid i might get angry eventhough its not his fault.. hahaha.. Now he has another trick, when i'm about to get mad he put his hand through my head and say *sayang mommy..sayang mommy* ...and it works.. sigh.. Calvin is another little on...

some people keep wondering what's the true meaning of friendship .. sometimes we are busy looking for beautiful and warm quotes or stories of real friendship and still when we get back to the real world..that definition seems so hard to believe.. for me is very simple.. friendship requires love..and love is about giving and giving is about making people you care happy.. and beyond them...is commitment.. yes.. friendship is commitment..that's why to people i consider my friend i always store my forgiveness for them in time of needs... people make mistakes..thats natural..coz we're just human being..so are you willing to understand your friend instead of hoping them to understand you?? ask yourself.. its fine even they turn to be so bad to you...its totally fine... if they ask for forgiveness..just forgive...if they break the friendship...you're still fine..because you are not making mistake but they do... so no need to be sad.. just BE HAPPY and keep the JOY...
