November 20 Let me love and not be respectedLet me love and not be respected;
Let me serve and not be rewarded; Let me labor and not be remembered; Let me suffer and not be regarded. 'Tis the pouring, not the drinking;
'Tis the breaking, not the keeping-- A life suffering to seek others' blessing. A life loving and true comfort giving. Not expecting pity and concern,
Not accepting solace and applause; Even lonely, even forgotten. Even wordless, even forsaken. Tears and blood my price
For the righteous crown shall be; Losing all, my cost for a Faithful pilgrim's life. 'Twas the life, O Lord,
That You chose to live In those days when on earth You walked. Gladly suffering all injuries and loss So that all might draw near and repose. I cannot see how much farther I shall go;
Still I press on, knowing there is no return. Let me follow Your pattern, so perfect and true, Bearing ingratitudes without complaint. In this time of trial, oh my Lord, I pray
That You'd wipe all my hidden tears away; Let me learn, O Lord, You are my reward, Let me be others' blessing all my days. This song is of a person who love the Lord so much and willing to consecrate himself to Him for he knowing only Christ is his reward. My today success (since studying in UK until finding a job) does not come from my own capability and Christ has given me all this sure must be for a purpose. What kind of purpose i don't know but i want to be ready when He calls. My trust for Him is slim and thin and everyday I pray He becomes my trust for me to trust Him and love Him more. So much that I can overcome the daily human being's obsession & frustation. For whatever reason all things on the earth is only a shadow and will expire when Christ return. He will return because His word in the Bible has said so and I hope His return will be soon and so soon i.e. tomorrow. Lord prepare me for your return and please keep me close. November 19 How to Save Money on Petrol (TIPS!)Dear reader,
I have got this from one of my Multiply bloger's site. I would like to take the chance to share it as well....especially to poor people like me who have to drive (not yet) around everyday trying to earn money for the tummy. LOL.
Gas (Petrol) Tips Someone who has been in petroleum pipeline business for about 31 years and is currently working for the Kinder-Morgan Pipeline in San Jose, CA wrote the following information: We deliver about 4 million gallons in a 24-hour period from the pipe line; one day it's diesel, the next day it's jet fuel and gasoline. We have 34 storage tanks here with a total capacity of 16,800,000 gallons. Here are some tricks to help you get your money's worth. 1. Fill up your car or truck in the morning when the temperature is still cool. Remember that all service stations have their storage tanks buried below ground; and the colder the ground, the denser the gasoline. When it gets warmer gasoline expands, so if you're filling up in the afternoon or in the evening, what should be a gallon is not exactly a gallon. In the petroleum business, the specific gravity and temperature of the fuel (gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, ethanol and other petroleum products) are significant. Every truckload that we load is temperature-compensated so that the indicated gallonage is actually the amount pumped. A one-degree rise in temperature is a big deal for businesses, but service stations don't have temperature compensation at their pumps. 2. If a tanker truck is filling the station's tank at the time you want to buy gas, do not fill up; most likely dirt and sludge in the tank is being stirred up when gas is being delivered, and you might be transferring that dirt from the bottom of their tank into your car's tank. 3. Fill up when your gas tank is half-full (or half-empty), because the more gas you have in your tank the less air there is and gasoline evaporates rapidly, especially when it's warm. (Gasoline storage tanks have an internal floating 'roof' membrane to act as a barrier between the gas and the atmosphere, thereby minimizing evaporation.) 4. If you look at the trigger you'll see that it has three delivery settings: slow, medium and high. When you're filling up do not squeeze the trigger of the nozzle to the high setting. You should be pumping at the slow setting, thereby minimizing vapors created while you are pumping. Hoses at the pump are corrugated; the corrugations act as a return path for vapor recovery from gas that already has been metered. If you are pumping at the high setting, the agitated gasoline contains more vapor, which is being sucked back into the underground tank, so you're getting less gas for your money. Hope this will help ease your 'pain at the pump'! |
