NOT HOME YET

Author Unknown

 An old missionary couple had been working in Africa for years and was returning to New York to retire.

They had no pension; their health was broken; they were defeated, discouraged, and afraid.

ANGER FAIR


"Take all this from here, do not you make my Father's house into a place selling."


Mr Wijaya, who was health and hygiene, then at home there are 3 people housekeeper who cleaned the floor in the morning and afternoon, vacum carpet every morning, clean the house decoration every morning, watering the garden in the morning & afternoon, mow the lawn / plants every evening, cleaning swimming pool every morning / afternoon, and so on. Mr. Wijaya disciplining himself, so he was known as the owner of the house clean and neatly arranged, every person who wanted to learn well, to ask him. Because neatness, Mr.Wijaya also famous too fussy / nag because helpers are always asked to do their job properly.

Lord Jesus said that our body is the temple of God.
Are we also clean our house every day ? Every morning and night?
Do we have time to seek the will of God?
Do we have a good relationship with others / our neighbors?
Or when we are too busy with the affairs of "business"?
Every person has the same time, 24 hours a day, and what we do with our time?

A master once said that the compass / knowledge of astronomy is very important. If someone sailing follow his heart regardless of the direction of the compass / astronomy, he will have 3 choices.
First, not to go everywhere.
Second, up to the destination with the long time.
Third, to another place.

KEMARAHAN YANG ADIL


"Ambil semuanya ini dari sini, jangan kamu membuat rumah Bapa-Ku menjadi tempat berjualan."


Bapak Wijaya, orang yang sangat memperhatikan kesehatan dan kebersihan, maka di rumahnya terdapat 3 orang pramuwisma yang membersihkan lantai pagi dan sore, memvakum karpet setiap pagi, membersihkan hiasan rumah setiap pagi, menyirami kebun pagi & sore, memotong rumput/ tanaman setiap sore, membersihkan kolam renang setiap pagi/ siang, dan sebagainya. Bapak Wijaya mendisiplinkan dirinya, sehingga beliau terkenal sebagai pemilik rumah yang bersih dan tertata dengan rapi, setiap orang yang mau belajar rapi, dapat bertanya kepada beliau. Karena kerapihannya, bapak Wijaya juga terkenal cerewet/ bawel karena pembantunya selalu diminta untuk melakukan tugasnya dengan benar.

Tuhan Yesus mengatakan tubuh kita merupakan bait Allah.
Apakah kita juga membersihkan rumah kita setiap hari, setiap pagi dan sore ?
Apakah kita mempunyai waktu untuk bersaat teduh mencari kehendak Tuhan ?
Apakah kita berhubungan baik dengan sesama/ tetangga kita ?
Ataukah waktu kita sudah terlalu sibuk dengan urusan "bisnis" ?
Setiap orang mempunyai waktu yang sama, 24 jam sehari, dan apa yang kita lakukan dengan waktu kita ?

Seorang nahkoda pernah mengatakan bahwa kompas/ pengetahuan astronomi sangat penting. Jika seseorang berlayar mengikuti arah hatinya tanpa memperhatikan kompas/ astronomi, dia akan mendapat 3 pilihan.
Pertama, tidak sampai kemana-mana.
Kedua, sampai ke tempat tujuan dengan lama.
Ketiga, sampai ke tempat yang lain.
