Our new JVC 32" Plasma TV and a new glass shelf for the TV arrived yesterday. We bought the TV and the glass stand from Comet. The delivery man called to say they will arrive in 5 minutes, few minutes later, I saw the Comet truck. I told Zack that our new TV is here, I switched off and unplug the old TV for them to take away. Zack was so excited and confused. He was watching his cartoon and I have to switch the TV off. I opened the door for the men, Zack was excited. He stand by the new TV box and said "new tele, new box". So cute!!!
I have to set up the glass table on my own, as Phil was at work, it wasn't difficult. There were 3 glass panels, I put the top glass on the floor and started to screw and put the stand on, took the 2nd glass panel, Zack said, "new table, well done you"...it was cute and funny, the way he said it. He said the same thing when I took the 3rd panel out.
Lastly, I took the new TV out and Zack said "oohh...new tele". While I was setting up and plugging the cable to the TV, Zack was creating some snow from the styrofoam. When I finished, the whole floor was full of "snow". Hahaha...funny and angry cos I have to vacuum the floor AGAIN...

Was vacuuming the floor in the living room, looked out of the balcony door and saw a Hearse drove past. Out of nosiness, I went out to the balcony to find out which house or flat they will stop. When I saw where the Hearse was stopped, I was thinking could it be the old lady or the old man. That house lives an old couple whom I doesn't know, only observing when I was doing washing in the kitchen or looking out of the balcony. In that house, I think lives a disabled man with his wife whom I seen on his disabled scooter by his garage few weeks ago. Anyway, while guessing is it the old lady or the old man, out came the supposingly son, daughters and son or daughter-in-law and the old lady.
Strange isn't it, God created us with different kind of emotions. When I first saw the Hearse, in my mind, I felt sad and sorry for the family who lost their loved ones. Then it came to my mind that there was an article in the Daily Bread on 6 Nov 07.

Sir Francis Bacon said, “I do not believe that any man fears to be dead, but only the stroke of death.” Woody Allen said, “I’m not afraid to die. I just don’t want to be there when it happens.”
It’s not death that’s so frightening. It’s the dying that scares us. As Paul faced imprisonment and the prospect of dying in a jail cell, he shared his view about life and death: “To live is Christ, and to die is gain” (Phil. 1:21). What a perspective!
Death is our enemy (1 Cor. 15:25-28), but it does not possess the finality that so many dread. There is something waiting for believers beyond this life—something better.
Someone has said, “What the caterpillar thinks is the end of life, the butterfly thinks is just the beginning.” George MacDonald wrote, “How strange this fear of death is! We are never frightened at a sunset.”
I love this paraphrase of Philippians 1:21, “To me, living means opportunities for Christ, and dying—well, that’s better yet!” (TLB). During our physical life, we have opportunities to serve Jesus. But one day, we will actually be in His presence. Our fear will melt away when we see Him face to face.
That’s the “better yet” the apostle Paul is talking about! —Cindy Hess Kasper
Death?—Christ said not death;
He called it sleep;
A vast awaking, a new day breaking,
A bright way taking, with visions deep. —H. Frost

For the Christian, the fear of death will give way to the fullness of life.
