His workshop sat on a hill overlooking their village.<br /><br />Every Wemmick was different. Some had big noses, others had large eyes. Some were tall and others were short. Some wore hats, others wore coats. But all were made by the same carver and all lived in the village.<br /><br />And all day, every day, the Wemmicks did the same thing: They gave each other stickers.<br /><br />Each Wemmick had a box of golden star stickers and a box of gray dot stickers. Up and down the streets all over the city, people could be seen sticking stars or dots on one another. The pretty ones, those with smooth wood and fine paint, always got stars. But if the wood was rough or the paint chipped, the Wemmicks gave dots.<br /><br />The talented ones got stars, too. Some could lift big sticks high above their heads or jump over tall boxes. Still others knew big words or could sing very pretty songs. Everyone gave them stars.<br /><br />Some Wemmicks had stars all over them! Every time they got a star it made them feel so good that they did something else and got another star.<br /><br />Others, though, could do little. They got dots.<br /><br />Punchinello was one of these. He tried to jump high like the others, but he always fell. And when he fell, the others would gather around and give him dots.<br /><br />Sometimes when he fell, it would scar his wood, so the people would give him more dots.<br /><br />He would try to explain why he fell and say something silly, and the Wemmicks would give him more dots.<br /><br />After a while he had so many dots that he didn't want to go outside. He was afraid he would do something dumb such as forget his hat or step in the water, and then people would give him another dot. In fact, he had so many gray dots that some people would come up and give him one without reason.<br /><br />"He deserves lots of dots," the wooden people would agree with one another. "He's not a good wooden person."<br /><br />After a while Punchinello believed them. "I'm not a good wemmick," he would say.<br /><br />The few times he went outside, he hung around other Wemmicks who had a lot of dots. He felt better around them.<br /><br />One day he met a Wemmick who was unlike any he'd ever met. She had no dots or stars. She was just wooden. Her name was Lulia.<br /><br />It wasn't that people didn't try to give her stickers; it's just that the stickers didn't stick. Some admired Lulia for having no dots, so they would run up and give her a star. But it would fall off. Some would look down on her for having no stars, so they would give her a dot. But it wouldn't stay either.<br /><br />`That's the way I want to be,' thought Punchinello. `I don't want anyone's marks.' So he asked the stickerless Wemmick how she did it. "It's easy," Lulia replied. "every day I go see Eli."<br /><br />"Eli?"<br /><br />"Yes, Eli. The woodcarver. I sit in the workshop with him."<br /><br />"Why?"<br /><br />"Why don't you find out for yourself? Go up the hill. He's there." And with that the Wemmick with no marks turned and skipped away.<br /><br />"But he won't want to see me!" Punchinello cried out. Lulia didn't hear. So Punchinello went home. He sat near a window and watched the wooden people as they scurried around giving each other stars and dots. "It's not right," he muttered to himself. And he resolved to go see Eli.<br /><br />He walked up the narrow path to the top of the hill and stepped into the big shop. His wooden eyes widened at the size of everything. The stool was as tall as he was. He had to stretch on his tiptoes to see the top of the workbench. A hammer was as long as his arm. Punchinello swallowed hard. "I'm not staying here!" and he turned to leave.<br /><br />Then he heard his name.<br /><br />"Punchinello?" The voice was deep and strong.<br /><br />Punchinello stopped.<br /><br />"Punchinello! How good to see you. Come and let me have a look at you."<br /><br />Punchinello turned slowly and looked at the large bearded craftsman. "You know my name?" the little Wemmick asked.<br /><br />"Of course I do. I made you."<br /><br />Eli stooped down and picked him up and set him on the bench. "Hmm," the maker spoke thoughtfully as he inspected the gray circles. "Looks like you've been given some bad marks."<br /><br />"I didn't mean to, Eli. I really tried hard."<br /><br />"Oh, you don't have to defend yourself to me, child. I don't care what the other Wemmicks think."<br /><br />"You don't?"<br /><br />"No, and you shouldn't either. Who are they to give stars or dots? They're Wemmicks just like you. What they think doesn't matter, Punchinello. All that matters is what I think. And I think you are pretty special."<br /><br />Punchinello laughed. "Me, special? Why? I can't walk fast. I can't jump. My paint is peeling. Why do I matter to you?"<br /><br />Eli looked at Punchinello, put his hands on those small wooden shoulders, and spoke very slowly. "Because you're mine. That's why you matter to me."<br /><br />Punchinello had never had anyone look at him like this...much less his maker. He didn't know what to say. "Every day I've been hoping you'd come," Eli explained.<br /><br />"I came because I met someone who had no marks." "I know. She told me about you."<br /><br />"Why don't the stickers stay on her?"<br /><br />"Because she has decided that what I think is more important than what they think. The stickers only stick if you let them."<br /><br />"What?"<br /><br />"The stickers only stick if they matter to you. The more you trust my love, the less you care about the stickers."<br /><br />"I'm not sure I understand."<br /><br />"You will, but it will take time. You've got a lot of marks. For now, just come to see me every day and let me remind you how much I care."<br /><br />Eli lifted Punchinello off the bench and set him on the ground.<br /><br />"Remember," Eli said as the Wemmick walked out the door. "You are special because I made you. And I don't make mistakes."<br /><br />Punchinello didn't stop, but in his heart he thought, "I think he really means it."<br /><br />And when he did, a dot fell to the ground.<br /><br /><br /></span></span></div> <div style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"></span> </span></div> <div style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"></span> </span></div> <div style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">Don't let anyone's opinion and expectations of you weigh you down today.

You don't know how bad they've hurt me." The problem is, they are still hurting you. How do you stop the pain? Forgiveness is what sets us free from the past. What is to be gained in forgiving is freedom. You don't heal in order to forgive. You forgive in order to heal. Forgiveness is to set a captive free and then to realize that you were the captive. You don't forgive others for their sake; you do it for your sake. Those you need to forgive may never be aware of your choice to let them off your hook. Forgiveness is the fragrance that is left on the heel that crushed the violet.He is still goodhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16768436357959734230noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6713082737057491360.post-42427366721279387332010-03-03T20:24:00.001+08:002010-03-03T20:27:07.177+08:00Our bookclubWe have our very own book club! <br />It's going to be so exciting. :)He is still goodhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16768436357959734230noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6713082737057491360.post-4180578974622286862010-03-01T20:08:00.001+08:002010-03-01T20:10:29.709+08:00Thankful<meta equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><meta name="ProgId" content="Word.Document"><meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 11"><meta name="Originator" content="Microsoft Word 11"><link rel="File-List" href="file:///C:%5CDOCUME%7E1%5CCHUAGE%7E1%5CLOCALS%7E1%5CTemp%5Cmsohtml1%5C01%5Cclip_filelist.xml"><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:worddocument> <w:view>Normal</w:View> <w:zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:punctuationkerning/> <w:validateagainstschemas/> <w:saveifxmlinvalid>false</w:SaveIfXMLInvalid> <w:ignoremixedcontent>false</w:IgnoreMixedContent> <w:alwaysshowplaceholdertext>false</w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText> <w:compatibility> <w:breakwrappedtables/> <w:snaptogridincell/> <w:wraptextwithpunct/> <w:useasianbreakrules/> <w:dontgrowautofit/> <w:usefelayout/> </w:Compatibility> <w:browserlevel>MicrosoftInternetExplorer4</w:BrowserLevel> </w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:latentstyles deflockedstate="false" latentstylecount="156"> </w:LatentStyles> </xml><![endif]--><style> <!-- /* Font Definitions */ @font-face {font-family:SimSun; panose-1:2 1 6 0 3 1 1 1 1 1; mso-font-alt:宋体; mso-font-charset:134; mso-generic-font-family:auto; mso-font-pitch:variable; mso-font-signature:3 135135232 16 0 262145 0;} @font-face {font-family:Tahoma; panose-1:2 11 6 4 3 5 4 4 2 4; mso-font-charset:0; mso-generic-font-family:swiss; mso-font-pitch:variable; mso-font-signature:1627421319 -2147483648 8 0 66047 0;} @font-face {font-family:"\@SimSun"; panose-1:2 1 6 0 3 1 1 1 1 1; mso-font-charset:134; mso-generic-font-family:auto; mso-font-pitch:variable; mso-font-signature:3 135135232 16 0 262145 0;} /* Style Definitions */ p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {mso-style-parent:""; margin:0in; margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family:SimSun;} @page Section1 {size:8.5in 11.0in; margin:1.0in 1.0in 1.0in 1.0in; mso-header-margin:.5in; mso-footer-margin:.5in; mso-paper-source:0;} div.Section1 {page:Section1;} --> </style><!--[if gte mso 10]> <style> /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0in; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-ansi-language:#0400; mso-fareast-language:#0400; mso-bidi-language:#0400;} </style> <![endif]--> <p style="font-family: verdana;font-family:arial;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:85%;">I’m thankful that for a dad who throws away my important stuff, because it means I have a dad who cares enough to want me to be tidy. <span style=""> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p style="font-family: verdana;font-family:arial;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:85%;">I’m thankful that I have a mom to scream her head off at me, because it means I have a mom who cares.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p style="font-family: verdana;font-family:arial;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:85%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p style="font-family: verdana;font-family:arial;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:85%;">Every time when I come into Your Presence I am overwhelmed by Your Mercy and Grace. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p style="font-family: verdana;font-family:arial;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:85%;">Your love astounds me.

How do you deal with a Being you pushed away, but embrace you when you need Him? How do you deal with the One who patiently waits for your heart to be opened, and accepts you readily for who you are, and loves you for who you are, no matter how far away you’ve gone? How do you deal with a God Creator of the Universe, but yet came down in fleshly form and humbly subject Himself to suffer and be crucified because He loves you too much to die in sin? <br /><br />How do you deal with that? <br />I don’t know about other people, but I just stand amazed. <br /><br />What can I do, except to cry in awe? <br />What can I do, except to throw my hands in the air to praise Him? <br />What can I do, except to love Him back in return? <br />What can I do, except to live for Him? <br /><br />I stand amazed, in awe of His boundless love.<br /></span>He is still goodhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16768436357959734230noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6713082737057491360.post-30339526458398371482009-06-13T18:46:00.002+08:002009-06-13T18:50:23.571+08:00A New SongHe gave me an inspiration to write down these lyrics. <br /><br /><br />If I sing, <br />I will sing for You<br />If I dance, I will dance for You<br />With all my heart, my soul, my mind <br />My hands lifted high, to worship You<br /><br />For You are King over the throne<br />And I adore You, Jesus<br /><br />My heart cries out to You<br />These tears belong to You Lord<br />I bow my knees to see You glorified (Hallelujah)<br />with all my heart I give<br />to You the only King<br />I love You<br />Lord Jesus, King of allHe is still goodhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16768436357959734230noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6713082737057491360.post-15376747701768556512009-01-19T22:08:00.000+08:002009-01-19T22:10:27.724+08:00Construction in progressHere is the beginning of the new Geky.
