-The partridge in a pear tree was Jesus Christ.

-Two turtle doves were the Old and New Testaments.

-Three French hens stood for faith, hope and love.

-The four calling birds were the four gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke & John.

-The five golden rings recalled the Torah or Law, the first five books of the Old Testament.

-The six geese a-laying stood for the six days of creation.

-Seven swans a-swimming represented the sevenfold gifts of the Holy Spirit--Prophesy, Serving, Teaching, Exhortation, Contribution, Leadership and Mercy.

-The eight maids a-milking were the eight beatitudes.

-Nine ladies dancing were the nine fruits of the Holy Spirit--Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness and Self-Control.

-The ten lords a-leaping were the ten commandments.

-The eleven pipers piping stood for the eleven faithful disciples.

RESULTS MY FRIEND...JUST RESULTS (just for laughs)

2008-11-11T08:23:00.000-08:00

Priest dies & is awaiting his turn in line at the Heaven's Gates.
Ahead of him is a guy, nattily dressed, in dark sun glasses, a loud shirt, leather jacket & jeans.
God asks him: Please tell me who are you, so that I may know whether to admit you into the kingdom of Heaven or not?
The guy replies: I am Pandi, Auto driver from Chennai !
God consults his ledger, smiles & says to Pandi: Please take this silken robe & gold scarf & enter the Kingdom of Heaven ...
Now it is the priest's turn. He stands erect and speaks out in a booming voice: I am Pope's Assistant so & so, Head Priest of the so & so Church for the last 40 years.
God consults his ledger & says to the Priest: Please take this cotton robe & enter the Kingdom of Heaven ...
'Just a minute,' says the agonized Priest. 'How is it that a foul mouthed, rash driving Auto Driver is given a Silken robe & a Golden scarf and me, a Priest, who's spent his whole life preaching your Name & goodness has to Make do with a Cotton robe?'
'Results my friend, results,' shrugs God.
'While you preached, people SLEPT; but when he drove his Auto, people PRAYED'
Moral of the story: It's PERFORMANCE & not POSITION that ultimately counts ....

Just for Laughs! 'Wag pong magagalit

Stress Management
A lecturer, when explaining stress management to an audience, raised a glass of water and asked,'How heavy is this glass of water?'Answers called out ranged from 20g to 500g.The lecturer replied,'The absolute weight doesn't matter. It depends on how long you try to hold it. 'If I hold it for a minute, that's not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my right arm.If I hold it for a day, you'll have to call an ambulance.'In each case, it's the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes. 'He continued,'And that's the way it is with stress management. If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later, as the burden becomes increasingly heavy, we won't be able to carry on. ' 'As with the glass of water, you have to put it down for a while and rest before holding it again. When we're refreshed, we can carry on with the burden. ''So, before you return home tonight, put the burden of work down. Don't carry it home. You can pick it up tomorrow. Whatever burdens you're carrying now, let them down for a moment if you can. '

'Relax; pick them up later after you've rested! Life is short. Enjoy it!
And then he shared some ways of dealing with the burdens of life:
* Accept that some days you're the pigeon, and some days you're the statue.
* Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them.
* Always read stuff that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it.
* Drive carefully. It's not only cars that can be recalled by their Maker.
* If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague.
* If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.
* It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.
* Never buy a car you can't push.
* Never put both feet in your mouth at the same time, because then you won't have
a leg to stand on.
* Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance.
* Since it's the early worm that gets eaten by the bird, sleep late.
* The second mouse gets the cheese.
* When everything's coming your way,you're in the wrong lane.
* Birthdays are good for you. The more you have, the longer you live.
* To the world you might be one person, but to one person you just might be the
world.
* Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.
* We could learn a lot from crayons. Some are sharp, some are pretty and some are dull, Some have weird names, and all are different colors, but they all have to live in the same box

'A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour'.

Batch 4 Encounter, Square Ranch

Ate Esther went home last month, to attend our JIL Manila 30th anniversary. To most especially those who are praying with her...ate Esther is a woman of faith! When she attended the Encounter (Batch 4), she was going on her chemotherapy and treatment. Notice her hair at the photo, she was wearing at that time a hair piece. Her physical condition was not a hindrance to join every church activities here in Toronto. May it be a Bible Study, Birthday Parties, Sunday Services, Outdoor activities, Seminars, and even to retreats and encounters. She is an active worker of the Ushering Ministry of the First Service (JIL Toronto 1).

Ate Esther was diagnosed 3 years ago when she first arrived to Canada with breast cancer. And last month, she was told that she needs another treatments. She decided to go home to the Philippines to spend her time with her relatives and friends and with the desire in her heart to share the good news of salvation to them. Before she left, she told us, she wants to serve the Lord in JIL Bataan. She said, she is not scared to die. She is ready to meet the Lord! Ate Esther went home declaring what the promise of God in her life. She declares "I am healed!" She went home with no status because of her physical - medical condition.

Last Sunday, we had a double birthday celebration at our home-the birthday of Bro. Tom and yours truly. Before closing our activities, we received news through her sister that they received a letter from the Immigration that Ate Esther was granted her "Open Permit" here in Canada. Isn't God an amazing God! An awesome God! An answering God! The God of impossibilities! (Lk 18:27)
At the time of the good news, ate Esther was still in Manila joining thousands and thousands of people celebrating the JIL 30th Glorious Anniversary!

God works in His ways...miraculously! He moves in mysterious ways! (Jn 13:7)

Praise the Lord! All the Glory, Honor and Power and Majesty belongs to Living God!
