When I was washing my face and hands, this inspiration came.
What if my arm is a half of its length? I would have difficulty in washing my face because it would barely reach my face to wash it. Not only that, I would have more difficulty in doing #2 especially at the ending part of the work. So I was amazed. Wow! Who made my arm to be this perfect size? It is, in fact, the most ideal size to do these bathroom works. Not only that, this length of the arm gives such a good balance as I walk, and run. And did you know, if you stretch your arm, the length from your right hand to your left is the same as your height? Who designed this balance? So again I have to thank God for this in the bathroom.
Any objection?

Thanking a bathroom is understandable, but thanking OOOO is...
Thus I came to learn to thank God for the bathroom. However, one day I was shocked to hear one story that showed me some people goes a way beyond that standard. It was a testimony of thanking a poopoo!
There was a man who was greatly respected by many people for his accomplishments, not only for his external accomplishments but particularly for his great character. One day he gave a testimony sharing his secret of how he became such a man of character. He said that it was highly owing to his grandmother's influence on him.
His grandmother was not an educated woman. She never went to school. But one unique thing about her was she was thanking so much in her daily life. She thanked for a new day, for food, health, fortune, etc. One day, though, he was very embarrased, as a child, to see her thanking her poopoo, even she was bowing to poopoo!
He didn't dare to ask why she was doing it, but he eventually found out why she did it. This was the reason: Think about it if someone comes to your house and help some work in your house such as carpet cleaning. What would you say to him as he comes at the door and about to enter the house? You would say, "Welcome! Thanks for coming." Then he works hard in your house and eventualy he finishes his work, and now he is leaving your house. When he is about to go out, what would you say to him? "Get out! You smell so bad. I never want to see you again!" Of course you wouldn't say that. "Thank you. Thank you for your hard work." That's what you would say. So think about this...
When food comes into your mouth, you say, "Thank you God for the food." as you welcome the food to come into your house and start working in your house. Then, when the food finishes its work in your house and about to go out, what should you say? "Thank you, food, for your hard work, and it is ok to bow to the food who finished the work, as the expression of your gratitude.
Anyway, the point of this great man was that he learned from her grandmother's lifestyle of thanking throughout his young age. He learned that thanking is so powerful, which helped him to mold his character in amazing way. So, now, what can you not thank?

What does bathroom have to do with inspiration?
I have been receiving so many inspirations in the bathroom. I was wondering why.
One day I met with one man. He said he was receving so many inspiration in the bathroom. I was curious. We spoke, and I found out he knew why he received so many inspirations in the bathroom. So, why?
He said that in the bathroom, all he does is to "give." Therefore, it is the natural consequence accroding to the universal law, that he will receive something from above. He explained to me about the universal principle. In the universe, the most important principle is "giving." Every creation is created to give to others, then naturally something will return to them and the interaction develops between the two. That's how this universe exists, and that's how it operates and develops. Therefore, the secret of the happiness to our life is "giving."
Well, his explanation made sense to me at that time. I got one more wisdom. Thank God!

Thank God for the bathroom!
Have you ever thanked God for the bathroom?
It may sound strange to some of you, but I say this out of my own experiences.
Several times I had experiences like this in my life:
One day, I was invited to give a talk at some church. I was sitting on the chair prepared for the guest speaker on the stage. All of a sudden, I got a diarrhea. I was shocked. Why is God giving me this when I am about to speak?
I tried to calm myself down, seeking for God's guidance. Then somehow someone told me that the bathroom exists in the right next room just behind the stage. I managed to walk out very slowly, and safely got inside. I said, "Thank you, God, for the bathroom!" However, another shock. There's no toilet paper on the holder! What shall I do?
Again I tried to calm myself down, seeking for God's advice. Then I was told to look up. As I looked up I found the paper put on the divider. Oh, thank God for the toilet paper!
What would I do without a bathroom? and without a toilet paper?
But, this was just a beginning.
