[SHM] Invitation to CCCFC Happy Family Ministry @2:00 PM - 4:00 PM 8/20/22

Greetings SHMers!

Long time no see! Hope you all are doing very well! CCCFC’s happy family ministry has been helping parents to overcome all challenges to build good relationships between kids and parents. Our parenting classes have touched 500+ parents in the last 3 years. Many parents fully learned that maturity is the key to have happy and self-motivated children.

Teacher Lina Gao has so much talent in helping parents to grow. Lina Gao is giving a talk on Aug 20th. Please join us with your friends and enjoy the fellowship and snack time after classes.

Thanks for your help. Let’s work together to make every family a happy family.

In His Love,
Servant Heart Ministry

Lady Slippers @ Work

Esther 2:15 (KJV): “Now when the turn of Esther, the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her for his daughter, was come to go in unto the king, she required nothing but what Hegai the king's chamberlain, the keeper of the women, appointed. And Esther obtained favour in the sight of all them that looked upon her.”

COMMENTARY: During several recent hikes in the hilly, thick woods of Connecticut, I have come across beautiful Lady Slippers--rare and unique flowers that tend to grow alone. In the midst of all of the other abundant plant species, Lady Slippers stand out because they are so peculiar, colorful and uncommon.

Throughout the Old and New Testaments, you will find men and women who are specially and unusually gifted, anointed, called and favored by the Lord. One such person is Esther. If you will, she was a human “Lady Slipper” whom God placed at just the right place, at just the right time, to rescue the Jews from persecution and death.

APPLICATION: Today, the Lord still creates, equips, raises up and uses special people for His divine purposes, in His way and time. This applies to workplaces, too. These people are not hard to spot, as they tend to stand out just as Lady Slippers do. God has placed them in your work life to be a blessing.

In today’s hyper “equality-sensitive” culture, we may grimace at the thought that God raises up special people, but He does. We may resent and be jealous of the "Lady Slippers" in our lives, but our thoughts and feelings don’t change reality one bit. We are not all equal in gifting, anointing, calling and favor. If there are Lady Slippers in your life, thank God for them, pray for them and support them!

Joyfully yours,
Drew

一生不后悔的选择 5/28/21-5/30/21

亲爱的朋友：
那一天，爱荷华大学校园发生了一起惊天动地的新闻。北大毕业的高才生，竟然充满嫉妒，仇恨，愤怒，绝望与疯狂，拿枪射杀了同门的华人师弟，两位指导教授，系主任，与副校长。另有多人受伤。凶手随后自杀。 在校的华人在全然的惊吓中，等待着整个校区铺天盖地充满愤恨的反击。出人意外地，他们面对的，竟然不是仇恨的风雨，却是爱的阳光。受害者的家属竟然全心诚意地安慰凶手父母的丧子之痛。许多美国人竟然主动地伸出手鼓励与安慰在校的华人。
人生的十字路口上，你我都必须做一个生命的选择：输给黑暗的权势？或是掌握光的大能！这是一个机会。不要再拖延。
科林郡恩友堂 敬上。

Avoid Rash Decisions @ Work
John 18:10 (KJV): "Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and smote the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus."

COMMENTARY: "Rash" means ill-advised and hasty action. Recently, I hiked up a mountain trail that I used to take regularly with two close friends during my high school years. At one point, there's a side trail that goes to the base of some tall cliffs. One day back in the 1970s, the three of us took that trail and reached the bottom of the cliffs in mid-to-late afternoon. We had no gear for cliff-climbing, but one of my friends impulsively said, "Let's climb these cliffs." I immediately and firmly refused, saying that we were not prepared, not experienced, and that the sun would be setting soon. My two friends rashly decided to go for it, with no helmets, no ropes, nothing! They couldn't even see where the cliffs went; they assumed that the ridge trail was at the top of the cliff. Wrong!

Off they went, higher and higher to a height of what I estimate to be 125 feet, with me watching them straight up from the bottom. Then, they shouted down to me that they were stuck. They couldn't come down, and they couldn't go up. This was long before cell phones. As I was about to run to my car and drive to the closest firehouse for help, my friend who had instigated this ill-conceived cliff-climb became desperate and jumped to grab some brush above the cliffs. I saw his feet dangling in mid-air, and could see that if he lost his grip, he would fall directly onto my other friend, and the two of them would tumble down the cliff to where I was standing.

Miraculously, as my friend was clinging to the brush, he shouted out for help at the top of his lungs. Just then, some hikers along the ridge trail heard him and "happened" to have rope with them. (In all my years of hiking, it is extremely rare to see people carrying rope with them!) Thank God, these hikers tied their rope around a big tree, and threw it over the edge. It was long enough to reach my friends, who were able to cling to and climb the rope to the safety of the ridge trail.

Here we are nearly 50 years later, and both of my friends recently retired. One had a successful career in finance, the other a successful career in television. They both had wives and families. But it's very possible that I could have lost my friends that fateful afternoon. For what? The thrill of risk-taking? Really?

APPLICATION: Like Peter in today's passage, I've made several rash decisions myself, and I've lived to regret them. I'm sure you have, too. The moral of today's story is don't be rash at work or anywhere! In a split second, you can make rash decisions with detrimental and even deadly consequences. Instead, pray for and listen to wisdom when she speaks, no matter how much peer pressure is directed at you. Don't follow the herd literally and figuratively off the cliff!

Joyfully yours,
Drew

Acquainted with Grief @ Work
Isaiah 53:3 (KJV): “He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.”

Hebrews 12:2 (KJV): “Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.”

COMMENTARY: Palm Sunday, March 28 marks the start of the 22nd annual Joy At Work Week sponsored by Northeast Christians At Work. Since our first event in 2000, our mantra has been “Your Glow Should Show Who You Know.”

As a Christ-follower, if you really believe what you say you believe--that through God’s amazing grace through faith in Jesus, your sins are forgiven, you’ve received the free gift of eternal life in heaven and the gift of the Holy Spirit--then you should be the most joyful employer or employee at your workplace. A consistently grumpy Christian at work is a contradiction of terms.

APPLICATION: Lest you think that being joyful at work is some kind of whimsical, naïve, idealistic fairy tale pipedream, being joyful at work doesn’t exclude you from being acquainted with grief. It doesn’t give you a free pass from sorrow, pain, distress, frustration and discouragement. It doesn’t mean that you won’t be despised, persecuted or rejected. It doesn’t mean that you won’t experience suffering. But throughout the journey, you will still have joy inside as you abide with the Lord and look forward to spending eternity with Him.

If Jesus was acquainted with grief and suffering and we are His disciples, then WE will also be acquainted with grief and suffering. Don’t let grief in your workplace rob you of the joy the Holy Spirit can and wants to give you. As His joy shines through you, it will be a vibrant testimony to the co-workers, customers, and suppliers with whom you work.

Joyfully yours,
Drew
