Wooooow!
Subject: FW: My son
PLEASE READ TO THE END !!
This is great, take a moment to read it, it will make your day!
The ending will surprise you.
A wealthy man and his son loved to collect rare works of art. They had everything in their collection, from Picasso to Raphael. They would often sit together and admire the great works of art..
When the Vietnam conflict broke out, the son went to war. He was very courageous and died in battle while rescuing another soldier. The father was notified and grieved deeply for his only son.
About a month later, just before Christmas,
There was a knock at the door. A young man stood at the door with a large package in his hands..
He said, 'Sir, you don't know me, but I am the soldier for whom your son gave his life. He saved many lives that day, and he was carrying me to safety when a bullet struck him in the heart and he died instantly... He often talked about you, and your love for art.' The young man held out this package. 'I know this isn't much. I'm not really a great artist, but I think your son would have wanted you to have this.'
The father
Opened the package. It was a portrait of his son, painted by the young man. He stared in awe at the way the soldier had captured the personality of his son in the painting. The father was so drawn to the eyes that his own eyes welled up with tears. He thanked the young man and offered to pay him for the picture.. 'Oh, no sir, I could never repay what your son did for me. It's a gift.'
The father hung the portrait over his mantle. Every time visitors came to his home he took them to see the portrait of his son before he showed them any of the other great works he had collected.
The man died a few months later.. There was to be a great auction of his paintings. Many influential people gathered, excited over seeing the great paintings and having an opportunity to purchase one for their collection.
On the platform sat the painting of the son. The auctioneer pounded his gavel. 'We will start the bidding with this picture of the son. Who will bid for this picture?'
There was silence...
Then a voice in the back of the room shouted, 'We want to see the famous paintings. Skip this one.'
But the auctioneer persisted. 'Will somebody bid for this painting? Who will start the bidding? $100, $200?'
Another voice angrily. 'We didn't come to see this painting. We came to see the Van Gogh's, the Rembrandts. Get on with the
Real bids!'
But still the auctioneer continued. 'The son! The son! Who'll take the son?'
Finally, a voice came from the very back of the room. It was the longtime gardener of the man and his son. 'I'll give $10 for the painting....' Being a poor man, it was all he could afford.
'We have $10, who will bid $20?'
'Give it to him for $10. Let's see the masters.'
The crowd was becoming angry. They didn't want the picture of the son.
They wanted the more worthy investments for their collections.
The auctioneer pounded the gavel.. 'Going once, twice, SOLD for $10!'
A man sitting on the second row shouted, 'Now let's get on with the collection!'
The auctioneer laid down his gavel. 'I'm sorry, the auction is over.'
'What about the paintings?'
'I am sorry. When I was called to conduct this auction, I was told of a secret stipulation in the will... I was not allowed to reveal that stipulation until this time. Only the painting of the son would be auctioned. Whoever bought that painting would inherit the entire estate, including the paintings.
The man who took the son gets everything!'
God gave His son 2,000 years ago to die on the cross. Much like the auctioneer, His message today is: 'The son, the son, who'll take the son?'
Because, you see, whoever takes the Son gets everything.
FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, WHO SO EVER BELIEVETH, SHALL HAVE ETERNAL LIFE...THAT'S LOVE
Please send this to ten people and back to the one who sent it to you.

firstly it is just a story :)
ReplyDeletestories like these have only one purpose and that is to work your emotions.
this kind of stories are best particularly at people who want to escape reality.
and the reality is that there is no real world application for this kind of story other than making people live in "cloud 9".
it's like taking drugs. you get the high but once the effect is over, you wake up to all your problems.it doesn't go away. there is no magic formula to make your problems and the world's problems disappear except to work it out - just like in a marriage.
that said, the world's problems(god so love the WORLD), which your bible is basically talking about(not about you or your ego), can only be solved through the politics of god(hidden in christ - the son).
this hidden message has been completely lost through christianity since since rome corrupted it(to kill the original message of christ).
the form of christianity practiced today has its origin in paganism - that account for making christ into an IDOL( protestantism has its roots in the mother of harlots who once colluded with rome).
lastly, it's a romatic notion to think having the "son" you get everything.
that is best savor in your dreams than have real world application( you can't change cities and nations with this kind of corrupted message)
it is politics that improved your life here and it is the politics of the kingdom that will bring us LIFE, life eternally here - means no wars lah!
for your own sake and the sake of your loved ones, wake up or be conned for life lah LOL
ReplyDeleteOh yeah!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the message. I am , of course reading it.
Thats how you believe it should be.
I won't argue.
I will live my life the best way that I can. and that's living in Jesus' love, blessings and protection.
Thats my only option. That's my only hope.
That's me.
:)
I am PEACEFUL and joyful that way.
so joyful that I will still end up blessing you.Heheh!
God bless you all.
You are loved. You just don't know that yet. Promise.
SMILE and have a great day ahead!:)
reread with an enlightened mind
ReplyDeletefor "god" so love the WORLD( the world has been at wars for a very long time mostly because of two major religions at each other throats - CHRISTIANITY/JUDAISM AND THE MUSLIMS), that he gave his only SON(the politics of the son -not grace garbage) that who soever believe in the POLITICS OF THE SON shall not PERISH( bloodshed caused by religions etc) but have everlasting life(no wars - peace shall reign)
sad to say,the real ANTI CHRIST is christianity - OH THE IRONY.
why?
because CHRISTIANITY HAS NO CLUE AS TO THE POLITICS OF CHRIST and is still CONTRIBUTION TO BLOODSHED AROUND THE WORLD.
you, the joker, is PART OF THIS BLOODSHED WHICH YOU ARE PROMOTING AND SELLING - making money for your LEECHERS!!
MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

ReplyDeleteNO speak English
There was this Asian lady married to an American gentleman
and they lived in Honolulu.
The poor lady was not very proficient in English, but managed
to communicate with her husband.
The real problem arose whenever she had to shop for
groceries.
One day, she went to the butcher and wanted to buy a leg of
mutton She didn't know how to put forward her request,
and in desperation, lifted up her skirt to show her thighs.
The butcher got the message and the lady went
home with mutton legs.
The next day, she needed to get chicken breasts. Again, she
didn't know how to say, and so she unbuttoned her blouse
to show the butcher her breast. The lady got what she
wanted.
The 3rd day, the poor lady needed to buy sausages.
Unable to find a way to communicate this, she brought her
husband to the store...
