The Origin of "Grace Home"

Grace Home is based in Shanghai China, the head office is named as "Guang Hao Gruop". you can notice that Guang Hao's initials are G and H just like Grace Home.

Guang Hao Group is a company with 3 christian meetings all the time which have been held in company's office, and I, also a Christian,  hope the company in Abu Dhabi can have the blessings from God.  Grace Home is just a very good name.

But there is a story about "Grace Home". From the beginning that we were going to apply for the company name registry, we submitted many names such as Grand Home, Great Home, Grand Hous, Great House, but they are all used by other companies, I have tried again and again for 3 times, every time I submitted around 10 names, but the results are very bad, each of the names have been all occupied. I feel desperate about it, 20 days have passed but the company name is just in the air and like air.

Afterwards, I invited some friends and colleagues to help me to find a good name, but all is not satisfied.

At last, I knelt down and prayed to God, requested the Lord to give me hint and intelligence. Magically, after I finished my prayer, I wrote down 20-30 names of company names in accordance with the conditions to be required, I was sure these 20-30 names could not be figured out before the prayer, even now I cannot remember what I did at that time. Thank God for his mercy on me, 2 days after I submitted these 20-30 names, a good news came to me, "Grace Home" was approved by the government.

In the dictionary fixed inside me, Grace Home Building Materials Trading LLC means:

A company name approved by God;
A company blessed by God with much care and favor;
A home of the Lord; 
A very-beautiful-home-related materials supplier;
A good quality supplier;
A polite company with good service;
The same company name as "Guang Hao" if translating to Chinese;
A company name very easy to pronounce.

I am here to thank God for his kindness and love on me, We will make every effort to follow the step of God, to please him with great achievement, and hope to witness to God for his signs in front of his people.

奇怪的蜜蜂

        今天去隔壁超市买东西,发现在店门口有大量的“飞行物”,只能用满店门口飞舞来形容,第一感觉是苍蝇,因为我经过的时候没有感觉到叮咬。当我跨进店内的时候,有几只飞虫跟着进来了,奇特的是,这几支飞虫似乎怕冷,大概有3、5只,齐刷刷的坠地,并从紧贴地面的玻璃门下爬出去了,很明显他们还运用了缩骨功,这个时候我能看清楚了,是蜜蜂,只是蜜蜂形状比中国的小,而且似乎不叮人。我很是不解,他们怎么那么聪明,知道那儿是唯一常备出路。

       买好了东西我准备出去的时候,发现蜜蜂越来越多了,玻璃上、天空中到处都是。真的怀疑蜜蜂干吗跑到超市门口来开会,是不是因为店里面的面包香味太吸引它们了吗?还是从车里面掉出来一个蜂箱?还是什么集体迁徙?

       没办法,从进来的这个门口出去已经不可能了,店里面的印度收银员告诉我,走后门出去。离开超市来到自己公司的展厅,立刻检查了一下靠近超市最近的玻璃门附近是否有蜜蜂,结果,很冷清,没有看到一个飞行物。

        大概当时我就给这次蜜蜂定义为为面包而来。过了大概个多小时,这个原本清静的店门口,透过玻璃窗我看到一个穿白袍的本地人在挥手示意,我当时立马就明白是什么事了,肯定是蜜蜂把玻璃门堵了,顾客不敢进来。我凑近落地玻璃窗示意他们绕道辅助马路那边的店门进来。

        然后就马上开始再次检查那个玻璃门了。不出所料,蜜蜂犹如满天黑色飞雪,已经将进出的大门口霸占了。此情此景,想到今天下午顾客不可能从这个大门进来了,就叮嘱店员干脆把那个大门锁住,以免顾客误入,被蜜蜂所伤。后来因为我一直不停忙碌,也就忘了此事。

       临近7点展厅下班的时候,听到一个店员说锁门的时候,看到玻璃门上有一个蜜蜂窝。我马上心里想,糟了,蜜蜂把我们门口的那棵人造花卉当成他们家的大院了。我赶紧跑过去,结果什么也看不到,因为镜子反光,店里面看不到马蜂窝。因为担心明天蜜蜂聚会事情进一步复杂化,我和几个员工一起,决定把那个蜂窝弄掉,决不能影响商店的正常经营活动。

      大伙七嘴八舌,最后选出了方案,我们把车开到蜂窝附近,准备了塑料管杆子,Grace Home宣传单以及塑料袋,绑在一起,然后再用火机点燃,去把他们驱赶开。一切停当,我们来到了玻璃门前,我搬开了花卉,第一次看到了他们所说的“蜂窝”。真的是非常曲线的一个椭圆形状,不知道是蜜蜂窝还是什么,反正上面黑压压的蜂头攒动,在车灯的照射下,我走到跟前,居然没有一只蜜蜂飞起来。我当时的第一反应是,用一个塑料袋盖住这个窝,或者用一张报纸压住,争取一网打尽。可大伙儿都说这样危险,万一有蜜蜂从周边的缝隙中跑出来,我们就比较危险了。

        最后还是决定实施第一种方案,由Robert负责把塑料和纸点着,扔向那个椭圆形“工艺品”,真的很遗憾,我当时没想到要拍照下来,真的是一个奇观啊。结果呢,Robert并没有按计划把火把扔掉就快速跑回车里,而是直接把熊熊燃烧的火把直接压在那个椭圆形物体上,结果,几乎没有蜜蜂飞起来,没有10秒钟,那个椭圆形的物体就掉在地上了。并被还在燃烧的Flyer残骸盖住了。我走向前,想了解到底是蜜蜂窝还是什么。结果真的又好奇怪,全是蜜蜂,根本就没有蜂房,这些蜜蜂几秒钟之内就全军覆灭了。留下的疑点真多:

1. 铺天盖地的蜜蜂从何而来?
2.那么多的蜜蜂绝对不会只是一个椭圆菜碟子这么大和普通圆形面包那么厚,可其他蜜蜂去哪儿了呢?
3.蜜蜂没有巢,怎么可以直接黏附在玻璃门上,如果累那么高,我看最少需要叠加10层的蜜蜂,可是那么多层,最里面一层的蜜蜂怎么能附着得住?
4. 蜜蜂在一起,碰到火把的时候,不可能全军覆灭,可事实上,他们一动不动,好像就是等着被杀一般。他们为什么不逃跑?
5.为什么蜜蜂要聚集在人们进出频繁的大门口呢?他们应该知道这是很危险的事情。
6.这种蜜蜂个头不大,是一种什么种类的蜜蜂,到底叮不叮人?蜜蜂飞舞了大半天,可却没有听到有任何人被叮的事。
7.蜜蜂是肚子饿,还是因为露天的阳光之下太过炎热(这边目前室外温度接近40摄氏度)?

Etisalat Yellowpages Now Smiling at Us

After waiting for more than 2 months, Etisalat Yellowpages finished its publishing and started to distribute to firms and government organizations on Apr. 1, 2012.


Following this good news, on Apr. 7, 2012, when I was checking "Grace Home Building Materials Trading LLC" by google search engine, the first one of the ten entries listed on the result page came to my eyes, obviously, online advertising service in Etisalat Yellowpages was also working. I can't help but excited and clicked the link, I was entering http://www.yellowpages.ae/search/grace-home-building-materials-trading-llc/01-02-00015510/df , a lot of keywords for promotion are standing there, but I have to say some mistakes occured, several keywords are not appropriate like "lighting fixture", "national paint", "shower room cabinet", "gypsum board & plywood", "decorating material supplier" etc, I should inform Etisalat Yellowpages to perfect them very soon.


Anyway, it is a good news to see all of this, I sincerely hope this kind of ad really works well in the coming days.





感动人心---你的爱不离不弃

 

耶稣基督的受难日,我和弟兄姐妹在教堂一起学习了这首歌,过程中我眼泪啪啪直掉,几度都哽咽得都无法再唱出声,那种感动真真切切,浸我心扉,情绪上简直让人抽搐。


歌名:你的爱不离不弃
专辑:神机会的风


Youtube视频:


优酷视频:



歌词:
没有一个忧患 耶稣不能担当
没有一个痛苦 耶稣不能背负
我要向高山举目 我的帮助从你而来
满有丰盛的慈爱 赐给凡求告你名的人
你的爱总是不离不弃 怜悯如江河涌流
在我敌人面前摆设宴席 使我的福杯满溢
你的爱总是不离不弃 时刻将我环绕
你必永远纪念与我所立的约 使我领受丰盛的恩典

旁白:
你曾经渴望过一个永不改变的爱吗? 人世间的海枯石烂都是会过去的,但我们的神他却是一位守约施慈爱的神,没有一个忧患他不愿意担当,没有一个重担他不愿意背负,他的爱总是不离不弃;他爱你,就爱你到底。
