My Jacob

2002: Lord, please give me a Jacob -- someone who loves me as much as Jacob loved Rachel.

2008: Thank you Lord for giving me a Jacob. :-)

-Rachel de Gijt-

A wonderful love story

Laban had two daughters; the name of the older was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel. Leah had weak eyes, but Rachel was lovely in form, and beautiful. Jacob was in love with Rachel and said, "I'll work for you seven years in return for your younger daughter Rachel."
Laban said, "It's better that I give her to you than to some other man. Stay here with me." So Jacob served seven years to get Rachel, but they seemed like only a few days to him because of his love for her.

Kunci

Si pelupa sedang kumat. Berhubung si pelupa ini juga parno, makanya jadi berabe.

Biasanya, kunci lemari kumasukkan ke laci, lalu kunci laci yg kubawa2. Kemarin, laci udah terkunci, aku lihat tas yg untuk mengajar msh di atas meja. Sebelum pulang, tas ini kumasukkan ke dalam lemari, dan lemarinya aku kunci (memang nggak perlu anak kunci). Usut punya usut, ternyata kunci laci itu adanya di dalam tas yg tadi dimasukkan ke lemari!

Maka terjadilah. Kunci lemari ada di laci, dan kunci laci ada di dalam lemari. Baik lemari maupun laci dalam keadaan terkunci. Dooh!

Love

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. [1 Co 13:4-7, NIV]
