Even if the object partner of your love gives you a hard time, and you may be tempted to feel unhappy, or disappointed, etc. , never forget that without the partner, you can never become the owner of that particular love. For that reason, you have to be absolutely grateful for your object partner of love. (spouse, children, brothers, sisters, parents...)
After all, we are destined to become the owners of love while we spend limited time on this earth. There's no time to waste by being self-centered.

You're not gonna believe this...

I went bowling after many years of blank.
To my surprize, it started very good. I had a spare, then strike, then another strike! Oh my goodness, this cannot be me, something is going on. The next one was kind of boring. But, the one after next, oh my goodness, you're not gonna believe what happened. I should have video-taped it. This is what happened:
I had a split. Two pins stood parallel. I don't know how to describe it in English, but in this case, usually you would either miss both, or hit one if lucky, and one pin will still remain. I threw the bowl, and oh my goodness, the bowl went a wrong way, too much left, it's gonna go into gutter, so sad, I will miss both. But, guess what happened.
In fact, a bowler before me was a kind of weak person, and her bowl didn't reach the end and it was still in the gutter. Now the bowl which I threw went a wrong way too left and now hitting the gutter. Lo, and behold! That bowl was going into the gutter but somehow it hit the bowl in the gutter and bounced back to the lane, and then hit the both of remaining pins and both fell down! Oh, my goodness, if you don't call this a miracle, then what is miracle?
Then, I realized that the bowling is a pretty spiritual sports. I regretted that if I had clearer awareness of that and if I didn't forget that spiritual aspect, in other word, if I played bowling with awareness of that I am bowling not alone, but together with God, then our bowling activity would not have become just a nice exciting time, but it would have become a chance of experiencing a presence of the living God even in such an activity. Then, I believe all of the participants would have had a different experience which may be very unforgettable.
Thus, this bowling experience became a very good lesson to me. I learned that I shouldn't take bowling lightly, or I shouldn't take anything lightly. Every moment of my life is very amazing miracle if I choose to make it a miracle--miracle in a sense of experiencing of God. Living with God in every moment. If I make particular focused effort in that aspect, my life will be different, and my relationship with God surely will grow deeper and deeper.

Bathroom conversation to begin a day--so important
This morning I realized that whether I can wake up in the morning on time with a clear spirit or not really depends on my life of the whole part of the day before. If I invested myself into each moment of the day according to my conscience and feel no regret at the end of the day, then the next morning I will wake up on time with a very clear spirit. On the other hand, if I did not invest myself into each moment of the day and have some regret, then the next morning will have its effect, including being unable to wake up on time. Of course, that's not the end of the world, and it still is another learning experience as well as a chance for something else. So, anyway the conclusion is every morning we thank God! Everything is a learning experience and an oppotunity to develop our deeper relationship with Him.
Therefore, I'd better check my whole day: Do I have clear goal in the morning? Am I following it up throughout the day? Am I reflecting well at the end of the day? This would make a lot of difference.
This I talked to God about in the bathroom first thing in this morning.
