A BEGGAR AND A LADY

As a woman walked down the streets one day, she spotted a beggar. The man looked pretty old, unshaven and ill-dressed. Every passerby looked at him with contempt; Not like they had anything against him, but merely because of who he was- a filthy beggar.

But when this particular woman saw him, she was filled with compassion.

The beggar was improperly dressed for a weather so cold. Precisely, he wasn’t dressed by wrapped up in what looked like a coat from a very old and not-so-warm suit. She kindly asked the man “Sir? Are you all right?”

The man looked at the women, who, clearly by her appearance was a demonstration of what people from a wealthy background looked like. The old beggar thought that she, like every other person, was mocking him. “Leave me alone,” he growled.

The women did not move. Instead, to his surprise, she smiled at him and gently asked if he was hungry.

“No, I’ve just come from dining with the president. Now go away.”-the beggar replied with a notable sarcasm. The woman’s smile did not fade. She slid her hands under the beggar’s arm and tried to pick him up.

“Woman, what do you think you are doing?” the beggar sounded annoyed.

“Is there a problem ma’am?” a policeman shouted, walking towards the lady and the beggar.

“Not at all officer. I’m just trying to get this man to his feet. Will you help me?”-the women replied

The policeman looked at her with surprise- “that man is old jack and has been here for  years. What have you got to do with him anyway?”

“I am taking him to a cafeteria to eat something and to get him out of the cold for a while”- The women answered.

“Are you crazy, lady?” the homeless man resisted. “I don’t want to go in there!” Then he felt strong hands grab his other arm and lift him up. “Let me go, officer. I didn’t do anything.”

“It’s a good chance to feed yourself jack. Don’t blow it.”- The officer advised.

After a lot of difficulty, the woman and the officer managed to drag jack into the cafeteria. It was past breakfast and too early for lunch hour of the day. The manager strode towards the table and asked “What’s going on here, officer?” he asked. “Is this man in trouble?”

“She brought old jack in here to be fed,” the policeman answered.

“Not in my cafeteria! People like him are bad for business.”-the manager angrily retorted.

“Now you know why I didn’t want to come in here woman.”- Jack said to the lady-“now let me go. I never wanted to be here in the first place.”

The woman turned to the cafeteria manager and smiled. “Sir, I reckon you know Eddy and Associates, the banking firm down the street?”

“Of course I do, ” the manager answered impatiently. “They hold their weekly meetings in one of my banquet rooms.”

“And I guess you make a good amount of money through those meetings.”

“Why does it concern you, I anyway?”

“Because I am the CEO of the company” the women replied, showing no sign of pride in her statement. “Oh.”- it was all that the manager managed to say.

She looked at the officer- “Would you like to join us in a cup of coffee and a meal, officer?”

“No thanks, ma’am,” the officer replied. “I’m on duty.”

“Then, perhaps, a cup of coffee to go?”

“Yes, ma’am. That would be very nice.”

“I’ll get your coffee for you right away, officer.”-the manager immediately replied.

“You served him right,” he said.

“Oh, believe me officer, that was not what I intended. I have a reason behind all this.” She stared at Jack intently, and asked “Jack, do you remember me?”

Old Jack examined her face- “well you do look familiar.”- He thoughtfully added.

“Do you remember a cold and hungry girl who frequently visited this place when you worked here?” the women asked – “she has perhaps grown old hasn’t she?”

The officer looked surprised. He couldn’t imagine this fine looking woman as a poor and hungry woman.

“I had just graduated and had come to the city looking for a job. Didn’t find one for a really long time. I was running out of cash and had been asked to vacate my apartment too.  I lived on these streets for days. It was the cold month of February, I still remember. And that’s when I found this place and walked in hoping to find eatable my little budget could afford.”

Jack’s face suddenly lit up- “now I remember you. I used to be at the counter. You came up and asked me if you could work for something to eat. I said that it was against company policy.”

“I know,” the woman said. “Then you offered me the biggest roast beef sandwich, a cup of coffee, and a table for me to sit and enjoy the meal. I saw you put the price of my food in the cash register”

“So you started your own business?” Old Jack asked.

“No, not exactly. That very afternoon I got a job. I worked my way up. Then, I started my own business.” She opened her purse and pulled out a business card. “Please pay a visit to the personnel director of my company. I’ll go talk to him now. I am sure there is something in my office for which we can use your help. We can even pay you a certain amount of your salary in advance.”

Fighting back the tears, Jack asked-“How can I ever repay your kindness?”

“You don’t have to” the woman answered. “Thank Jesus. He led me to you.”

“Thank you for all your help, officer,” she said to him as they both walked out the door.

“On the contrary, Ms. Eddy, thank you. I saw a miracle today. And of course, thank you for the coffee”

She frowned. “I forgot to ask you whether you used cream or sugar. That’s black.”

“I do use cream and more sugar than what is good for my health”- He replied

“I’m sorry,” she said.

“Please don’t be. I have a feeling that this coffee is going to taste as sweet as sugar”- He replied with a smile.

HOW DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED ?

More than a decade ago, a man was reading his morning newspaper. To his surprise and horror, he read his name in the obituary column. The news papers had mistakenly reported the death of the wrong person for sure. He was shocked to read news headline  about his death. When he regained his composure, He read it to find out what people had said about him.

The obituary included sentences like, “Dynamite King Dies.” and “He was the merchant of death.”. The man was the inventor of dynamite and when he read the words “merchant of death,” he asked himself a question,

“Is this how I am going to be remembered?” he asked himself. He decided that this was not the way he wanted to be remembered and he decided to change.

From that day on, he started working toward world peace. His name was Alfred Nobel and he is remembered today by the great Nobel Prize, the greatest of all the prizes.

The Nobel Prize has been honoring men and women from all corners of the globe for outstanding achievements in physics, chemistry, medicine, literature, and for work in peace since 1901. The foundations for the prize were laid in 1895 when Alfred Nobel wrote his last will, leaving much of his wealth to the establishment of the Nobel Prize.

Moral : It is never late to start over.

communion a ka sermon

Turn to Luke 21:1-4

 

"Once upon a time, a pig and a chicken were walking down a village street. They came upon a church sign which was advertising a bazaar and breakfast which was going to be held in a few days.

At the bottom of the sign the menu was given, it read ’Ham and eggs will be served from 6:30 to 8:00 am.’ The chicken turned to the pig and said, "See!!’ Even we can help the work of the church!!!"

"Yes," said the pig, "but yours is only a contribution, mine is a SACRIFICE."

 

Sacrifice- Nuntak tawntungna ngahnang kul ahihman Zeisu Si, ei zong nuntak tawntungnangin sacrifice kisam.

 

Inspite of how we might feel about it sacrifice is a very important part of our Christian life

-Most people who choose not to follow the Lord do so because of the sacrifice involved in the Christian life

 

-Sacrifice is extremely important

Romans 12:1- to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God, this is your spiritual act of worship

 

Tua ahih ciangin sanggamte aw, Pasian in eite tam veipi tak hong hehpih ahih manin ama lungkim nading le ama nasep nadingin nomau mahmah a hingtangin Pasian tungah na kipiak nadingun ka hong thum hi. Tua banga kipiakna pen Pasian biakna man taktak ahi hi.

 

Definition of Sacrifice-The offering of something that is precious, that has value, that is important

 

A sacrifice isn’t a sacrifice unless it costs you something

 

The Butterball Turkey company set up a hotline to answer consumer questions about preparing holiday turkeys. One woman called to inquire about cooking a turkey that had been in her freezer for 23 years.

 

The operator told her it might be safe if the freezer had been kept below 0 degrees the entire time. But the operator warned the woman that, even if it were safe, the flavor had probably deteriorated, and she wouldn’t recommend eating it.

The caller replied, “That’s what we thought. We’ll just give it to the church.”

 

-A sacrifice isn’t a sacrifice unless it costs you something

-It is not a sacrifice to give your dirty socks to the

-Its about hurting, lost, and dying of our world

-What are you willing to sacrifice?

-Money, Time, Success, Position

-God has called us all as Christians to a place of sacrifice

Today I want to talk to you about a woman who understood the principle of sacrifice

 

Luke 21:1-Jesuh a khuadak leh mihaute in biakinn sumkuang sungah a letsong uh a khiatna, 2le a zawng meigong khat in zong sumnen tang nih a khiat a mu hi. 3Tua ciangin amah in, “Ke’n kong cihin-ah, hih a zawng meigongnu in a dangte khempeuh sangin tamzaw a khia hi. 4Bang hang hiam cih leh adangte in a zatval uh sumte a khia uh ahi hi. Ahi zongin hih numei a zawng mahmah hinapi-in a nuntak nading khempeuh a khia khin ahi hi,” a ci hi.

 

Make a few observations about this passage, give you a challenge, then you can go to lunch

-I was thinking as a test of your sacrifice level I should preach until noon

-I realized that wouldn’t be a sacrifice, but stupidity

 

THERE IS A DIFFERENCE

Great place to insert this

-God doesn’t call us to sacrifice for the sake of sacrifice, but as a response of obedience

 

1 Sam 15:22-Obedience is better then sacrifice

To sacrifice just for the sake of sacrifice is called stupidity

Sacrifice is to be done as an act of obedience

 

A-Inspite of her poverty this poor widow held nothing back

-Not just 10%-Not just left over time-Not just the thing she didn’t want

-2 copper coins or 1/8 of a penny

-She gave it all

Elijah and the widow.

 

-ALL SHE HAD TO LIVE ON

-She held nothing back

-God measures our giving not on how much we give, but how much we have left

Not a financial expert

B-It would have made more since for her to give one and to keep one for food

-Jesus wouldn’t have been mad

-Jesus wouldn’t have jumped out of his chair and screamed “hey poor widow-You still have 1/16 of a penny left---SELFISH”

 

C-She choose to sacrifice

-To offer something that is precious, that has value, that is important

-To get out so her teammate can score

-To give so someone else didn’t have to go without

-She chose to be the pig and sacrifice, instead of the chicken and simply contribute

 

Conclusion

 

What sacrifice is God calling you to? Obedience is better then sacrifice

Every one of us have been called to give all our life

Matt 10-And anyone who does not take up his life and follow me is not worthy of me. Whoever finds his life will loose it. Whoever looses his life for my sake will find it

Call into ministry

Call to a ministry

A call to give

Two statements in conclusion

You shouldn’t answer this call in accordance to what you have, but in accordance to what God desires---Obedience

-If God didn’t call us to sacrifice beyond ourselves nothing great would ever be achieved for God

You sacrifice for what you care about

-You can always measure how much someone cares about something by how much they sacrifice

-Tells us a lot about how much Jesus cares about u (you are his most valuable asset/apple of his eye) sacrificed his only Son

-What is worth holding back?

What sacrifice is God calling you to?

-Give him a chance

-Sacrifice

-Give everything

The Three Cows

The Three Cows

Once, three cows lived in a green and fresh pasture near a forest: a white cow, a black cow and a reddish-brown cow. The cows were kind to each other. They used to graze in the meadow together and sleep near each other.

One day, a reddish-brown lion happened to take a stroll out of the forest onto the meadow. It was hungry and looking for a prey. On catching sight of the cows it became glad, but couldn't attack them, because they were together. So, the lion sat behind a boulder and patiently waited till the cows would separate from each other.

However, the cows were too clever to separate from each other. They knew that if they were together, no predator could attack them. The lion lay in ambush nearby for two or three days. But the cows continued to remain together, and wouldn’t separate from each other. The lion became impatient. It thought of a plan. It went towards the cows, greeted them and said, “How are you my friends? Are you fine? I have been busy lately, so could not come and visit you. Today I made up my mind to pay you a visit.”

The reddish-brown cow said, “Sir, your coming has really pleased us and brightened our pasture.”

Both the white and the black cows were troubled by what their friend, the reddish-brown cow said, and were grieved at its thoughtlessness. They said to each other, “Why does the reddish-brown cow believe what the lion says?

Doesn’t it know that lions seek other animals only to prey on them?”

As the days passed by, the reddish-brown cow became more and more attached to the lion. The black cow and the white cow advised it against a friendship with the lion, but their efforts were in vain.

One day, the lion said to the reddish-brown cow, “You know that the color of our bodies is dark and that the color of the body of the white cow is light. You also know that light color is the opposite of the dark color. It will be very good if I eat the white cow, so that there will be no difference among us any longer and we will be able to live together well.”

The reddish-brown cow accepted the lion’s argument and started talking to the black cow to keep it busy, so that the lion could eat the white cow. The white cow was left alone and was killed, while the black and the reddish-brown cows were busy in idle talk.

Two or three days passed since the lion devoured the white cow. It became hungry again. It called the reddish-brown cow. The cow answered: “Yes sir!”

The lion said, “The color of my body and the color of your body are both reddish-brown, and black does not go with our color. It will be very good if I eat the black cow, so that in this forest we all will be of the same color.” The reddish-brown cow accepted this argument and moved away from the black cow.

The lion attacked and devoured the black cow soon. And as for the reddish-brown cow, it was so filled with joy that it didn’t know what to do. It roamed and grazed and said to itself, “It is only me who has the color of the lion.”

A few days passed later, the lion was hungry again. It roared and said, “O the reddish-brown cow! Where are you?” The reddish-brown cow, shaking with fear, went forward and said, “Yes sir!”

The lion said: “Today it is your turn. Get yourself ready, I am going to eat you.”

The reddish-brown cow, with great fear and horror, said, “Why sir, I am your friend. I did whatever you asked me to do. Still why do you want to eat me?”

The lion roared and said, “I have no friends. How is it possible that a lion makes friendship with a cow?”

No matter how much the reddish-brown cow begged and entreated, the lion didn’t accept its words. Finally the cow said, “Mr. Lion, please allow me to cry out three times before you eat me.”

The lion said, “Ok. Quickly, quickly!”

The reddish-brown cow cried out, “I was eaten the very day the white cow was eaten. I was eaten the very day the black cow was eaten. I was eaten the very day I made friends with the lion.”

The lion devoured the reddish-brown cow very quickly. Then it said to itself: “I have finished my job in this forest. Now I had better go to other forests.”

Any group without unity will easily be destroyed.

The Cunning Fox and the Clever Stork

Once upon a time, there lived a very cunning and mischievous fox. He used to speak to other animals sweetly and gain their trust, before playing tricks on them.

One day the fox met a stork. He befriended the stork and acted like a very good friend. Soon, he invited the stork to have a feast with him. The stork happily accepted the invitation.

The day of the feast came, and the stork went to the fox’s house. To her surprise and disappointment, the fox said that he could not make a big feast as promised, and just offered some soup. When he brought the soup out of the kitchen, the stork saw that it was in a shallow bowl!

The poor stork could not have any soup with its long bill, but the fox easily licked the soup from the plate. As the stork just touched the soup with the tip of its bill, the fox asked her, “How is the soup? Don’t you like it?”

The hungry stork replied, “Oh it is good, but my stomach is upset, and I can’t take any more soup!”

“I’m sorry for troubling you,” said the fox.

The stork replied, “Oh dear, please don’t say sorry. I have some health problem and cannot enjoy what you offer.”

She left the place after thanking the fox, and inviting him to her house for dinner.

The day arrived and the fox reached the stork’s place. After exchanging pleasantries, the stork served soup for both of them, in a narrow jar with a long neck. She was able to have the soup very easily with her long bill, but the fox obviously could not.

After finishing hers, the stork asked the fox if he was enjoying the soup. The fox remembered the feast he himself had given the stork, and felt very ashamed. He stammered, “I…I’d better leave now. I have a tummy ache.”

Humiliated, he left the place running.

Moral: One bad turn begets another.

health is wealth

Health is Wealth

Once upon a time, there lived a generous and kind-hearted king. But the people weren’t happy with their king because the king was very lazy and would not do anything other than eating and sleeping.

He spent days and weeks and months in his bed either eating something or sleeping. The king became a potato couch and the people started to worry about the king.

One day, the king realized that he couldn’t even move his body, not even his foot. He became very fat and his enemies made fun of him, calling him ‘fatty king’, ‘bulky king’ etc.

The king invited expert doctors from various parts of his country and offered them generous rewards to make him fit. Unfortunately, none could help the king gain his health and fitness. The king spent enormous amounts of money but everything went in vain.

One fine morning, a holy man visited the country. He heard about the ill-health of the king, and informed the minister at the palace that he could easily cure the king. Hearing these promising words, the minister became very happy. He requested the king to meet the holy man to get rid of his problem.

The holy man resided at a distant place. Since the king could not move his body, he asked the minister to bring the holy man to the palace, but the holy man refused. He said that the king had to go to him, in order to get cured.

After strenuous efforts, the king met the holy man at the latter’s residence. The holy man complimented the king saying that he was a good ruler, and said that he would soon regain his health. He asked the king to come for treatment the next day. He told the king also that the king would be treated only if he came on foot to the holy man’s residence.

The King was unable to walk even a few steps on the road, but aided by his followers, he reached the holy man’s place. Unfortunately, the holy man was not available there and his devotee requested the king to come and meet him the next day for treatment.

This was repeated for two weeks and the king never met the holy man, and never had any treatment.

Gradually, the king realized that he felt a lot lighter, lost a considerable amount of weight and felt more active than before. He realized the reason why the holy man asked him to reach his place by walking.

Very soon, the king regained his health, and the people were very happy in his kingdom.

Reference citations in text are covered on pages 169-179 of the Publication Manual. What follows are some general guidelines for referring to the works of others in your essay.

Note: APA style requires authors to use the past tense or present perfect tense when using signal phrases to describe earlier research, for example, Jones (1998) found or Jones (1998) has found...

APA citation basics

When using APA format, follow the author-date method of in-text citation. This means that the author's last name and the year of publication for the source should appear in the text, for example, (Jones, 1998), and a complete reference should appear in the reference list at the end of the paper.

If you are referring to an idea from another work but NOT directly quoting the material, or making reference to an entire book, article or other work, you only have to make reference to the author and year of publication and not the page number in your in-text reference. All sources that are cited in the text must appear in the reference list at the end of the paper.

In-text citation capitalization, quotes, and italics/underlining

• Always capitalize proper nouns, including author names and initials: D. Jones.
• If you refer to the title of a source within your paper, capitalize all words that are four letters long or greater within the title of a source: Permanence and Change. Exceptions apply to short words that are verbs, nouns, pronouns, adjectives, and adverbs: Writing New Media, There Is Nothing Left to Lose.
  (Note: in your References list, only the first word of a title will be capitalized: Writing new media.)
• When capitalizing titles, capitalize both words in a hyphenated compound word: Natural-Born Cyborgs.
• Capitalize the first word after a dash or colon: "Defining Film Rhetoric: The Case of Hitchcock's Vertigo."
• Italicize the titles of longer works such as books, edited collections, movies, television series, documentaries, or albums: The Closing of the American Mind; The Wizard of Oz; Friends.
• Put quotation marks around the titles of shorter works such as journal articles, articles from edited collections, television series episodes, and song titles: "Multimedia Narration: Constructing Possible Worlds;" "The One Where Chandler Can't Cry."

Short quotations

If you are directly quoting from a work, you will need to include the author, year of publication, and page number for the reference (preceded by "p."). Introduce the quotation with a signal phrase that includes the author's last name followed by the date of publication in parentheses.

According to Jones (1998), "Students often had difficulty using APA style, especially when it was their first time" (p. 199).

Jones (1998) found "students often had difficulty using APA style" (p. 199); what implications does this have for teachers?

If the author is not named in a signal phrase, place the author's last name, the year of publication, and the page number in parentheses after the quotation.

She stated, "Students often had difficulty using APA style" (Jones, 1998, p. 199), but she did not offer an explanation as to why.

Long quotations

Place direct quotations that are 40 words or longer in a free-standing block of typewritten lines and omit quotation marks. Start the quotation on a new line, indented 1/2 inch from the left margin, i.e., in the same place you would begin a new paragraph. Type the entire quotation on the new margin, and indent the first line of any subsequent paragraph within the quotation 1/2 inch from the new margin. Maintain double-spacing throughout. The parenthetical citation should come after the closing punctuation mark.

Jones's (1998) study found the following:

Students often had difficulty using APA style, especially when it was their first time citing sources. This difficulty could be attributed to the fact that many students failed to purchase a style manual or to ask their teacher for help. (p. 199)

Summary or paraphrase

If you are paraphrasing an idea from another work, you only have to make reference to the author and year of publication in your in-text reference, but APA guidelines encourage you to also provide the page number (although it is not required.)

According to Jones (1998), APA style is a difficult citation format for first-time learners.
APA style is a difficult citation format for first-time learners (Jones, 1998, p. 199).

In Cuba I was a German Shepherd

 "In Cuba I was a German Shepherd," by Ana Menendez, talks about the sorrow of powerlessness that two Cubans, Raul and Maximo, and two Dominicans, Carlos and Antonio, have to undergo in American society. 
        In the story, Maximo has a dream and he shares it with others. In the dream, Juanito, who just came to America from Cuba, walks down the street and talks to a white puppy that he met in America, saying, "I would like to marry you, my love, and have gorgeous puppies with you and live in a castle" (54).  Then, the white poodle says, "I am a refined breed of considerable class and you are nothing but a short, insignificant mutt" (54). When Juanito hears her, he tells her, "Here in America, I may be a short, insignificant mutt, but in Cuba I was a German shepherd" (54). 
            In the story, the white puppies and Juanito are metaphors for American people and Cuban people. The American people (white puppies) think that they are superior to Cubans; therefore, they look down on Cubans. The story of Juanito is based on Maximo's life. Even though Maximo is a short, insignificant mutt in America, he had a prestigious job, honor, and fortune in Cuba and, thus, was a German shepherd there. 
            No matter who they were and how powerful they were in their countries, in America, immigrants such as Maximo have to start a new life again from the bottom. Maximo was a professor in Cuba. In America, however, he operates a restaurant. Furthermore, he who was a German shepherd feels the sorrow of powerlessness by being ignored. The loss of one's voice is a sad result of being at the bottom of the social ranking.  A valued breed, a German Shepherd, becomes a neglected species, one without identity.  In his dream, his lack of power is represented by his inability to procreate.  Having no heir is an historical demonstration of being without power; the beautiful white poodle insults his humanity when she says he is not a worthy mate.         

          Maximo, like many modern immigrants to the US, worked very hard in his country to establish a good station in life.  On arriving to America, though, he had to start over from the bottom.  In his new country he has a few friends but no one of strong social clout.  His previous connections in Cuba cannot push him back into the upper class.  He is powerless compared with his former Cuban life.  Everything he worked for in Cuba disappeared.  

      The one thing that makes immigrants particularly sad is not their lower social position and reduced wages compared to the ones of their country, but the White people's disrespectful and negligent attitude toward them. Playing dominoes, the game which is the heritage of their countries, Cuba and the Dominican Republic, and sharing their bitter and happy moments that they experienced in their own countries are their ways of dispelling the sadness that they feel in American society as immigrants.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"In Cuba I was a German Shepherd" by Ana Menendez is one of the most powerful pieces of the four, in my opinion. The most dynamic and complex, this short story oozed companionship, memories, and that sense of familiarity we all crave. Maximo and Raul are friends for life. Their friendship is what inspired my overall theme for the Society unit. You see their friendship runs deep, in the way they remember the past, but also remain friends in the present. 

Raul and Maximo had lived on the same El Vedado street in Havana for fifteen years before the revolution. Raul had been a government accountant and Maximo a professor at the University, two blocks from his home on L Street. They weren't close friends, but friendly still in that way of people who come from the same place and think they already know the important things about one another. (17)

Raul and Maximo's companionship was based mostly on the fact, as the quote suggests, that they came from the same place. That they both, would be alone without the other. It is always nice to have that sense of familiarity when far from home, or what you consider your home. Cuba was that for Raul and Maximo. In America, things are different, they don't touch the senses in the same way they did back in their home land of Cuba. 

In Cuba, the stories always began, life was good and pure. But something always happened to them in the end, something withering, malignant. Maximo never understood it. The stories that opened in sun, always narrowed into a dark place. And after those nights, his head throbbing, Maximo would turn and turn in his sleep and awake unable to remember his dreams. (18)

The companionship of the two men and their friends with whom they play dominoes, is a way to stay connected to what they left behind, what they lost. They need this familiarity. Making it in a place, so different from where you are from is difficult, but with a companion, with a sense of familiarity, it can be done. Nobody wants to feel lonely. 

Here in America, I may be a short, insignificant mutt, but in Cuba I was a German shepherd. (26)
