L ‘HISTOIRE DE KIM

Viata dupa tragedie

.

http://www.kimfoundation.com J’ai trouvé cette adresse sur un site chrétien roumain: http://dorupope.com/

C’est l’histoire d’une fille. Mon français n’est pas la meilleure, donc je vous invite à lire sur son site. Je copie ici le premier paragraphe:

“La guerre du Viet Nam a donné lieu à bien des tragédies dont certaines sont restées gravées dans notre conscience collective. La photo de cette petite fille courant toute nue sur la route, son corps enveloppé par les flammes du napalm, a changé la façon dont le monde entier voyait la guerre du Viet Nam, sinon toutes les guerres. C’est une photo qui a fait le tour du monde et qui a ultérieurement valu un prix Pulitzer à son auteur. La petite fille qu’on voit sur cette photo, c’est Kim Phuc.” Lire ici

“GOODMAN ION ROATA AND THE UNION OF THE PRINCIPALITIES” by ION CREANGA #2

( continuing from here )

“Well, good people, I venture to say you’ve got it clear now!”

“Clear, master, as clear as daylight”, most of them aswered. “God speed you in these your good courses!”

“Nay, master, I still haven’t got it clear”, goodman roata answered.

“God help us, goodman Ion, but as far as I can see, you are a trifle thick headed; let us go into the garden and I’ll make you see it better. Goodman Ion, do you see that huge boulder, over there, in my courtyard?”

“That do we, master.”

HISTORY AND LEGEND IN ROMANIAN; SHORT STORIES AND TALES

GOODMAN ION ROATA AND THE UNION OF THE PRINCIPALITIES

(translated by Ana Cartianu)

In 1857, when excitement about the Union was at boiling point in Jassy, the liberal boyars of moldavia, such as Costache Hurmuzaki, M. Kogalniceanu and others, deemed it right to summon to the Convention some leading men of the villages, one from each other administrative region, so that they too should have a share in carrying out of this splendid and noble national act.

As soon as the peasants got to Jassy, the boyars each contributed their share and had  them beautifully turned out and dresses alike, in white peasant coats and brand-new fur caps. The peasants could scarcely make out what good fortune had come their way. Then, so the report goes, they handed them over to the care of one of the boyars who was to talk to them and make them understand the purpose for wich they had been summoned to Jassy.

A PRAYER… AND A PRAYER… :)

This is a joke I’ve heard some time ago. It’s not just a joke, but there is a deeper meaning beyond its humor:

Two men were praying in a church, staying on their kneels, shoulder to shoulder. They were: a rich man and a poor man.

The rich man says: Lord, help me make this deal with the freighter… Help me win that auction…

The poor man: Lord, help me to buy some bread for my children…

The rich man: Lord, help me make that deal…

The poor man: Lord, help me to go home with some money today, not as I did last days…

The rich man, irritated, to the poor man: You, can’t you see God is busy with me?

The poor man, still addressing to God: Lord, help me feed my children…

The rich man, annoyed, opens his wallet and gives a $100 bill to the poor man: You, take these money and let God see about my problem!

THE RAPTURE

 

Are you ready? He could come any moment now.

Matthew 24.27:  For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.

1 Corinthians 15.51,52: Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.

1 Thessalonians 4.16,17: For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.

Philippians 3.21: He, who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body.

PSALM 23

A Psalm of David

1 The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.

2 He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters,

3 he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.

4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.

6 Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.

CHRISTIAN LIFE (I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE LAMB)

I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE LAMB (singing Ray Boltz)

A father talks with his son about the christian life:

(conversation between father and son)

(Son) Dad, has it always been this way?

(Dad) Well, even from the beginning men hated Jesus

Even thought he did nothing but love them

And teach them and heal them.

They nailed him to a cross.

They thought they had killed Him, but they only set him free

To live in the hearts of people like you and me who believe in Him.

Then came the apostles and most of them were killed

For telling other people about Jesus.

But that time it was too late. There were hundreds of people who believed in Jesus

So they tortured them and killed them

And even left their bodies to rot as an example to other people,

But the church kept right on growing

Watered by the blood of these precious Saints.

(Son) But Dad, did they want to die?

(Dad) No. They didn’t want to die.  I mean, many of them had children

Just like you they had to leave behind.

But they were forced to make a choice.

They could choose to live this one life here on earth and reject Jesus

And be damned or they could chose to believe in the words of Jesus

And live forever.

(Son) I think I understand.

(Dad) Here, maybe this will help you understand.

 

(Song: I pledge allegiance to the Lamb)

I have heard how Christians long ago

Were brought before a tyrants throne

And they were told that he would spare their lives

If they would renounce the name of Christ.

But one by one they chose to die

The Son of God they would not deny

Like a great angelic choir sings

I can almost hear their voices ring.

 

CHOURS:

I pledge allegiance to the Lamb

With all my strength

With all I am

I will seek to honor His commands

I pledge allegiance to the Lamb.

 

Now the years have come and the years have gone

But the cause of Jesus still goes on

And now our time has come to count the cost

To reject this world, to embrace the cross

And one by one let us live our lives

For the One who died to give us life.

Till the trumpet sounds on the final day

Let us proudly stand and boldly say

 

REPEAT CHORUS:

I pledge allegiance to the Lamb

With all my strength

With all I am

I will seek to honor His commands

I pledge allegiance to the Lamb.

 

To the Lamb of God who bore my pain

Who took my place, Who wore my shame.

I will seek to honor His commands

I pledge allegiance to the Lamb.

 

(conversation between father and son continues)

You’ve got to remember that it wasn’t always this way.

I mean, my dad could even pray in school.

Of course, they took that away from him.

Then it became incorrect for us to believe in the Bible

And after that they just stripped our right to worship away from us

And we quietly stood by.

But son, I hope that you’ll never put in the position

That you have to choose between your faith and your life.

But if you are – I know which choice you’re going to make

Because I know that Jesus lives inside of you.

In the meantime, just pray like I taught you how to

And take care of your mom

And remember that God is the Father of the fatherless.

 

REPEAT CHORUS:

I pledge allegiance to the Lamb

With all my strength

With all I am

I will seek to honor His commands

I pledge allegiance to the Lamb.

 

REPEAT CHORUS:

I pledge allegiance to the Lamb

With all my strength

With all I am

I will seek to honor His commands

I pledge allegiance to the Lamb.

 

REPEAT CHORUS:

I pledge allegiance to the Lamb

With all my strength

With all I am

I will seek to honor His commands

I pledge allegiance to the Lamb.
