<p>Thoughts of old time from a night-mooring under mount Niu-zhu</p>
<p>                            Li Bai</p>
<p>This night to the west of the river-brim</p>
<p>There is not one cloud in the whole blue sky,</p>
<p>As I watch from my deck the autumn moon,</p>
<p>Vainly remembering old General Xie&#8230;.</p>
<p>I have poems; I can read;</p>
<p>He heard others, but not mine.<br />

<p><strong>A Quiet Afternoon… </strong></p>
<p><strong>A cup of tea or two,</strong></p>
<p><strong>Some time alone with you my friend, will always get me through….</strong></p>
<p><strong>We put our heads together,  with anything  we do.</strong></p>
<p><strong>We laugh an tease to our delight;</strong></p>
<p><strong>It seems sometimes we talk all night…</strong></p>
<p><strong>Our problems seem to melt away,</strong></p>
<p><strong>Sharing our trials of the day,…</strong></p>
<p><strong>And at the end we plan real soon,</strong></p>
<p><strong>To have another,…</strong></p>

</div>
<div>
<p>Read these Scriptures:  Jeremiah 18: 1-4, 2 Corinthians 4:7-9, Proverbs 3:5-6</p>
<p>The vase was knocked to the ground and shattered into many pieces. It was so badly broken that I was sure it could not be mended. But that vase was a very special vase and I knew that I didn&#8217;t want to throw it away but that I had to fix it. I knew that I didn&#8217;t have the skill to fix it but that perhaps an expert potter did. So I took the pieces to one and asked him if he could put the vase together again.</p>
<p>That vase was my life. I went to the Master Potter and said, &#8220;Why have You allowed me to be broken? I cannot be used by You now &#8212; I am like the vase the potter rejected &#8212; no good. Please let me die.&#8221;</p>
<p>But the Master Potter had other plans. He said to me, &#8220;The vase cannot say to the potter &#8212; &#8216;why have you made me this way?&#8217;&#8221; (1) He said, &#8220;It is through your brokenness that I can use you. Now I can take the pieces and remold the vase and make it into what I want it to be.&#8221;</p>
<p>He showed me that the broken pieces were guilt, shame, unforgiveness, fear of failure, fear of rejection, perfectionism. And He said, &#8220;I am going to transform these pieces into acceptance, love, forgiveness, peace, and excellence.&#8221;</p>
<p>That made me hope again. But I was impatient because I wanted the process to be quick and easy and I wanted to be used by Him now. But I found that the process hurt very badly and sometimes I didn&#8217;t think that I could bear the pain.</p>
<p>Again the Lord spoke to me and He said, &#8220;Be patient, My child. I have plans for you but you must wait for My timing. Right now I want to mend you and fill you so that when the time is right you can share with others that which I have given you. I know how badly you hurt but you must trust Me because &#8216;I will never leave you nor forsake you&#8217;. (2) But I will lead you and guide you and if the way is too rough, I will carry you. Your job is just to follow.&#8221;</p>
<p>To trust and surrender, often so very difficult and yet the only way that the vase can be repaired. &#8220;Help me, Lord, to yield my life to You, the Master Potter, so that You can reshape me and remake me into what You would have me to be so that I may be used by You.&#8221;</p></div>

<p>किस्से नहीं सुनाते हम,<br />

ज़ाहिर करते नहीं हम पर<br />
तक़दीर की क्या इनायत है ।</p>
<p>दुनिया को हमसे बेरुख़ी की शिक़ायत है ।</p>
<p>डरते हैं हम अपने ही कल से,<br />
जीते हैं एक पल से दूजे पल पे,<br />
कैसे बताएँ इनायत करने वाली<br />
तक़दीर की क्या हिदायत है ।</p>
<p>दुनिया को हमसे बेरुख़ी की शिक़ायत है ।</p>
<p>आज हम बाँटे ख़ुशियाँ अपनी,<br />
रहमदिल हुई कब दुनिया इतनी,<br />
कल छिन गईं तो सह न सकेंगे,<br />
जो हँसी में उड़ाने की रवायत है ।</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Remember not the pathos of our plight<br />
Or the tears of our too-youthful end.<br />
Mourn us not, for we became a light,<br />
Eden shining still through deathless night,<br />
On all who first pure love would comprehend.</p>
<p>Judge us not, although we chose to die,<br />
Undone by beauty such as few have known,<br />
Love so perfect one could not reply<br />
In words less meteoric than its own.<br />
Each life must wend its way towards death and pain.<br />
Though we died young, our story will remain.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>she was found inside a quake of furry, not placed, but stranded there, as if it were a punishment of solitary confinement,<br />
rest is not easy, as every form of hesitation swirls around like some blizzard that knocks the wind out of one&#8217;s spirit,<br />
spinning inside the indiscriminate cyclone, wondering if there is a point to this great magnitude of upheaval;<br />
relief is found within the eye&#8217;s binocular view, but peace cannot be fathomed as a solution, at least, not yet;<br />
there is some allusions and persuasions that were kneaded and released into the  hands of time-<br />
this complicated gift become known  in the midst of this fortunate and unfortunate tide of emotion<br />
that clings to the fibers of the soul, which begs pardon for repeated violations of misunderstanding and recognition,<br />
clinging to the reverberation of the occurrence which repeated itself only 4 times; keenly aware of the commotion<br />
that ties and unties the truth with misconceptions of riveting expectations that beg for a presidential pardon of hope;<br />
instead, standing at the corner with a handmade sign that states, &#8220;don&#8217;t read my sign, read the pain in my eyes,<br />
see the tears fill the cup in my hand, but don&#8217;t pity me, because they are not my tears, but yours.&#8221;<br />
as the bread and wine prepare the heart for renewal within a sacred prayer, so does the absorption of fears<br />
release this story from the storm, and pushes it through layers of experiences and delivers the leftovers on ground zero,<br />
to announce the birth of a new struggle; the house of cards is gone; concrete steps remain a remnant of history&#8217;s touch-<br />
and exist as the only path to freedom.</p>

<p>Memories, Dreams and Fantasies!</p>
<p>These memories I am holding<br />
All the lessons I&#8217;ve been learning<br />
Found in pictures from the past<br />
Etched on me, to make them last<br />
In the dreams I&#8217;ll have tonight<br />
My mind will search for what is right<br />
And thoughts will race, out of control<br />
To bring healing for my soul</p>
<p>It&#8217;s in fantasy I&#8217;m freed<br />
I have everything I need<br />
Scenes I&#8217;m making with my passion<br />
Because they are mine to fashion<br />
My mind&#8217;s projection of tomorrow<br />
Filled with love and no more sorrow<br />
All are cut from the same cloth<br />
Three amigo&#8217;s from my thought</p>
<p>I can see this better view&#8230;.<br />
So now I&#8217;m sharing it with you<br />
I can close my eyes and see<br />
And as I hold you, I am free<br />
To express my gentle heart<br />
This is where you do your part<br />
And accept the love I send<br />
This is why I call you friend.</p>
<p>I know it might of been sent to all women, but I love the style of this message <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  thanks Jeff <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

Where there&#8217;s virtue, there is pride<br />

What I have is all in sunder<br />
I see joy, it makes we wonder<br />
That I am Indignified</p>
<p>For your caress I do long<br />
Like a mother&#8217;s touch and song<br />
To feel loved and not feel wronged<br />
Not to be Indignified</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>So, I have complete my exams last Friday ( and have been jumping for joy ever since). I have put my tuition seassions on hold until the end of this month. I have a pretty free life for a while. So, I thought I would do some reading; fiction, non-fiction, educational books or article in the papers or online. It is always good to be well-read.</p>
<p>I am really interested in different areas of the world. Science, sports, politics, family. Anything. You can think of the craziest thing on earth and I am really interested in it. I even want to die sky diving. It would be a great way to die, seeing the earth the last time instead being in the arms of your lover with your kids around you.</p>
<p>Anyways, I will read about anything. It is good to know the views of others, creativity of others, the history of different studies, the occupations of the world, the cultures, the countries. I could list everything but I rather not. List can get boring.</p>
<p>It is good to know a little of everything than to know a lot about one thing because then when people change the subject, you don&#8217;t look so blur.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a title="spa product manufacture" href="http://www.arsahandicraft.wordpress.com" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-42" src="http://aboutbali.wordpress.com/files/2008/09/spa-product-baner4.gif" alt="" width="340" height="85" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://aboutbali.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/desa-budaya.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-45" src="http://aboutbali.wordpress.com/files/2008/09/desa-budaya.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="178" /></a>Dengan konsep cultural village, Kertalangu menghadirkan sesuatu yang berbeda. Tempat bersantap hanya salah satu pelengkap dari sekian banyak fungsi seperti jogging track, kegiatan budaya (tari barong dan kecak dance), kolam pancing, tempat pelatihan spa, demonstrasi pembuatan kerajinan, natural stone &#38; pottery, keramik, serta lilin, garmen, dan produk kaca. “Kami memang menerapkan konsep community development,” kata Dewa Gede Ngurah Rai, pemilik PT Uber Sari, pengelola kawasan tersebut.</p>
<p>Masuk dari Jalan By Pass Ngurah Rai Padanggalak Denpasar Timur, kita akan melihat pusat pembuatan keramik. Ada papan nama besar “Kertalangu Bali Cultural Village” sehingga memudahkan kita untuk mengetahui lokasi ini. Tempat ini baru diresmikan Juni lalu oleh Wakil Walikota Denpasar. Karena itu relatif belum banyak orang yang tahu.</p>
<p>Kertalangu sekaligus sebagai desa konservasi lahan pertanian. Menurut Kepala Desa Kesiman Kertalangu, Wayan Warka, Desa Budaya ini berawal dari kekhawatiran makin hilangnya sawah dan berganti rumah di jalur hijau tersebut. Warga bersama pihak swasta kemudian membuat desa budaya tersebut. “Agar para petani tetap menjalani aktivitasnya dan mendapat nilai plus dari aktivitas pertaniannya,” kata Warka.</p>
<p>Jika untuk jogging, maka waktu paling tepat datang ke sini adalah pagi atau sore ketika matahari tidak terlalu menyengat. Menyusuri jalur jogging sepanjang 4 km selama satu jam tergolong melelahkan. Namun panjang dan lama menyusuri jalan tidak akan terasa karena mata kita dimanjakan pemandangan di sana.</p>
<p>Jalur jogging ini berupa lantai semen selebar 2 meter yang menyusuri areal sekitar 80 hektar. Pengunjung akan diajak menyusuri jalur yang konturnya mengikuti lansekap naik turun sawah. Bagian pertama sekaligus nanti jadi tempat terakhir berupa area inti di mana ada berbagai fasilitas yang sudah disebut tadi. Di sini pengunjung tidak hanya jogging tapi juga bisa masuk melihat proses pembuatan kerajinan keramik, batu, gelas, garmen, lilin, bahkan spa.</p>
<p>Setelah itu kita menyusuri naik turun jalur jogging. Kita bisa melihat petani sedang bekerja di sawah, bahkan berbincang dengan mereka jika mau. Atau malah ikut bekerja dengan mereka. Sebab petani-petani itu memang bagian dari Desa Budaya Kertalangu. Ada 204 pemilik lahan dan petani di areal tersebut. “Mereka bukan buruh tani tapi petani yang memang punya lahan di sini,” kata Gede.</p>
<p>Jika Anda capek menyusuri jalur panjang tersebut, ada beberapa gubuk petani maupun bale bengong buatan PT Uber Sari yang bisa digunakan untuk beristirahat sambil menikmati semilir angin persawahan. Hiruk pikuk Denpasar sama sekali tidak tersisa di sini.</p>
<p>Selesai jogging atau sekadar jalan-jalan menyusuri pematang sawah, tempat terakhir adalah bersantap. Pada pagi atau sore hari ketika ramai orang jogging, menu yang ada merupakan menu-menu sederhana seperti bubur ayam, kacang hijau, nasi kuning, jagung bakar, dan sate ayam. Harganya tak lebih dari Rp 5000 tiap porsi.</p>
<p>Makanannya memang murah, tapi suasananya yang mahal: susah dicari di Denpasar. Eh, tapi pengunjung tidak bayar apa pun untuk jogging atau jalan-jalan di Kertalangu. Gratis.</p>
<p>Menikmati makanan murah dan menyehatkan itu di bale bengong di pinggir sawah jelas berbeda dibanding menyantap menu mahal di restoran. Kalau dibandingkan dengan Ubud jelas berbeda. Sebab di Ubud harganya relatif mahal dan terlalu berbau turisme. Kalau di Kertalangu benar-benar terasa lebih ndeso suasananya.</p>
<p>Kita bisa melihat sisa-sisa padi yang baru dipanen. Ada pula yang baru mulai bertanam, sudah menghijau, atau malah sedang kuning-kuningnya menjelang dipanen. Sesekali ada teriakan petani mengusir burung-burung pemakan padi. Hmm, benar-benar apa adanya.</p>
<p>Kalau ingin menikmati makanan lebih mewah, pengunjung tinggal pindah ke restorannya yang menyedian menu-menu berkelas. Duduk di restoran tanpa dinding sama sekali kita masih bisa menikmati suasan meski lebih terbatas.</p>
<p>Selain tempat bersantap, tempat ini juga dilengkapi berbagai fasilitas seperti kolam pancing, panggung pertunjukan, dan tempat meeting. “Kami juga mengajak penduduk setempat untuk menari kecak, barong, dan joget bumbung. Mereka menari berdasarkan permintaan. Jadi tidak tiap hari menari,” kata Gede.</p>
<p>Jika anda senang bebelanja kerajinan khas bali, maka anda tidak usah jauh-jauh. di Desa Budaya Kertalangu juga terdapat Pasar seni yang menyediakan berbagai macam kerajinan khas bali dengan harga murah. ada juga Pabrik pembuatan <a title="spa product manufacture" href="http://www.arsahandicraft.wordpress.com" target="_blank">Spa Product</a> anda dapat berkonsultasi produk yang tepat untuk anda. Anda juga dapat melihat pembuatan keramik, Ukuran batu, dll.</p>
<p>untuk anak anda, disediakan juga kegiatan yang dapat menumbuhkan kreativitas, kegiatannya ada menanam padi, Membuat floating candle, melukis keramik, membuat layang-layang.</p>
<p>Satu tempat ini memang menawarkan beragam kegiatan untuk menghilangkan penat akibat pekerjaan sehari-hari. [b]</p>

<p>On a morning from a Bogart movie<br />
In a country where they turn back time<br />
You go strolling through the crowd like Peter Lorre<br />
Contemplating a crime<br />
She comes out of the sun in a silk dress running<br />
Like a watercolour in the rain<br />
Don&#8217;t bother asking for explanations<br />
She&#8217;ll just tell you that she came<br />
In the year of the cat.</p>
<p>She doesn&#8217;t give you time for questions<br />
As she locks up your arm in hers<br />
And you follow &#8217;till your sense of which direction<br />
Completely disappears<br />
By the blue tiled walls near the market stalls<br />
There&#8217;s a hidden door she leads you to<br />
These days, she says, I feel my life<br />
Just like a river running through<br />
The year of the cat</p>
<p>She looks at you so coolly<br />
And her eyes shine like the moon in the sea<br />
She comes in incense and patchouli<br />
So you take her, to find what&#8217;s waiting inside<br />
The year of the cat.</p>
<p>Well morning comes and you&#8217;re still with her<br />
And the bus and the tourists are gone<br />
And you&#8217;ve thrown away the choice and lost your ticket<br />
So you have to stay on<br />
But the drum-beat strains of the night remain<br />
In the rhythm of the new-born day<br />
You know sometime you&#8217;re bound to lose her<br />
But for now you&#8217;re going to stay<br />
In the year of the cat.</p>

pun tidak setabah Fatimah..<br />
justru isterimu hanyalah wanita akhir zaman..<br />
yang punya cita cita menjadi solehah.</p>
<p>Pernikahan atau perkawinan mengajar kita kewajiban bersama..<br />
isteri menjadi tanah kamu langit penaungnya..<br />
isteri ladang tanaman kamu pemagarnya..<br />
isteri kiasan ternakan kamu gembalanya..<br />
isteri adalah murid kamu mursyidnya..<br />
isteri bagaikan anak kecil kamu tempat bermanjanya.</p>
<p>Saat isteri menjadi madu kamu teguklah sepuasnya..<br />
seketika isteri menjadi racun kamulah penawar bisanya..<br />
seandainya isteri tulang yang bengkok berhatilah meluruskannya.</p>
<p>Pernikahan atau perkawinan menginsyafkan kita perlunya iman dan taqwa..<br />
untuk belajar meniti sabar dan redha Allah swt.<br />
kerana memiliki isteri yang taksehebat mana..<br />
justeru kamu akan tersentak dari alpa..<br />
kamu bukanlah Rasulullah saw.<br />
pun bukanlah saiyyidina Ali karamallahhuwajhah..<br />
cuma suami akhir zaman yang berusaha menjadi suami soleh&#8230;<br />
amin&#8230;</p>
<p>Untuk isteri..<br />
renungkanlah&#8230;</p>
<p>Pernikahan atau perkawinan membuka tabir rahasia..<br />
suami yang kamu nikahi tidaklah semulia Muhammad saw.<br />
tidaklah setaqwa Ibrahim..<br />
pun tidak setabah Ayyub..<br />
ataupun segagah Musa..<br />
apalagi setampan Yusuf..<br />
justeru suamimu hanyalah pria akhir zaman<br />
yang punya cita cita membangun keturunan yang soleh.</p>
<p>Pernikahan atau perkahwinan mengajar kita kewajiban bersama..<br />
suami menjadi pelindung kamu menjadi penghuninya..<br />
suami adalah nakhoda kapal kamu navigatornya..<br />
suami bagaikan balita yang nakal kamu adalah penuntun kenakalannya..<br />
saat suami menjadi raja kamu nikmat anggur singgahsananya..<br />
seketika suami menjadi bisa kamulah penawar obatnya..<br />
seandainya suami masinis yang lancang sabarlah memperingatinya.</p>
<p>Pernikahan atau perkawinan mengajar kita perlunya iman dan taqwa..<br />
untuk belajar meniti sabar dan redha Allah swt.<br />
karena memiliki suami yang taksegagah mana..<br />
justeru kamu akan tersentak dari alpa..<br />
kamu bukanlah Khadijah yang begitu sempurna didalam menjaga..<br />
pun bukanlah Hajar yang begitu setia didalam sengsara..<br />
cuma wanita akhir zaman yang berusaha menjadi solehah&#8230;<br />
amin&#8230;</p>
<p></em>Ya Allah jadikanlah keluargaku sakinah mawaddah warohmah dan hindarkanlah kami dari siksa narMu.<br />
Amiin.</p>

<description><![CDATA[BismillahirrahmaanirahiimDengan kerendahan hati mari kita simak pesan2 Al-qur’an tentang tujuan hidu]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><font size="2" face="Tahoma"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Tahoma;">Bismillahirrahmaanirahiim</span></font><font size="2" face="Tahoma"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Tahoma;">Dengan kerendahan hati mari kita simak pesan2 Al-qur’an tentang tujuan hidup yang sebenarnya Nasehat ini untuk semuanya ………..<br />
Untuk mereka yang sudah memiliki arah………<br />
Untuk mereka yang belum memiliki arah………<br />
dan untuk mereka yang tidak memiliki arah.<br />
nasehat ini untuk semuanya…….<br />
Semua yang menginginkan kebaikan.</span></font><font size="2" face="Tahoma"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Tahoma;">Saudaraku………….<br />
Nikah itu ibadah…….<br />
Nikah itu suci,ingat itu……<br />
Memang nikah itu bisa karena harta, bisa karena kecantikan, bisa<br />
karena keturunan dan bisa karena agama.<br />
Jangan engkau jadikan harta, keturunan maupun kecantikan sebagai<br />
alasan…………<br />
karena semua itu akan menyebabkan celaka.<br />
Jadikan agama sebagai alasan……..<br />
Engkau akan mendapatkan kebahagiaan.</span></font><font size="2" face="Tahoma"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Tahoma;">Saudaraku……….<br />
Tidak dipungkiri bahwa keluarga terbentuk karena cinta……..<br />
Namun……jika cinta engkau jadikan sebagai landasan, maka keluargamu<br />
akan rapuh, akan mudah hancur.<br />
Jadikanlah ” ALLAH ” sebagai landasan……<br />
Niscaya engkau akan selamat<br />
Tidak saja dunia, tapi juga akherat…….<br />
Jadikanlah ridho Allah sebagai tujuan……<br />
Niscaya mawaddah, sakinah dan rahmah akan tercapai.</span></font><font size="2" face="Tahoma"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Tahoma;">Saudaraku………..<br />
Jangan engkau menginginkan menjadi raja dalam “istanamu”……<br />
disambut istri ketika datang dan dilayani segala kebutuhan…….<br />
Jika ini kau lakukan ” istanamu ” tidak akan langgeng…..<br />
Lihatlah manusia ter-agung Rasulullah saw…. tidak marah ketika harus tidur di depan pintu, beralaskan sorban, karena sang istri tercinta tidak endengar kedatangannya.<br />
Tetap tersenyum meski tidak mendapatkan makanan tersaji dihadapannya ketika lapar……..<br />
Menjahit bajunya yang robek……..</span></font><font size="2" face="Tahoma"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Tahoma;">Saudaraku………<br />
Jangan engkau menginginkan menjadi ratu dalam “istanamu “……..<br />
Disayang, dimanja dan dilayani suami……<br />
Terpenuhi apa yang menjadi keinginanmu……..<br />
Jika itu engkau lakukan ” istanamu ” akan menjadi neraka bagimu</span></font><font size="2" face="Tahoma"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Tahoma;">Saudaraku…………<br />
Jangan engkau terlalu cinta kepada istrimu………<br />
Jangan engkau terlalu menuruti istrimu……<br />
Jika itu engaku lakukan akan celaka….<br />
Engaku tidak akan dapat melihat yang hitam dan yang putih, tidak akan dapat melihat yang benar dan yang salah…..<br />
Lihatlah bagaimana Allah menegur ” Nabi “-mu tatkala mengharamkan apa yang Allah halalkan hanya karena menuruti kemauan sang istri.<br />
Tegaslah terhadap istrimu……………..<br />
Dengan cintamu, ajaklah dia taat kepada Allah…….<br />
Jangan biarkan dia dengan kehendaknya……..<br />
Lihatlah bagaimana istri Nuh dan Luth………..<br />
Di bawah bimbingan manusia pilihan, justru mereka menjadi penentang…..<br />
Istrimu bisa menjadi musuhmu………..<br />
Didiklah istrimu……..<br />
Jadikanlah dia sebagai Hajar, wanita utama yang loyal terhadap tugas<br />
suami, Ibrahim.<br />
Jadikan dia sebagai Maryam, wanita utama yang bisa menjaga kehormatannya……<br />
Jadikan dia sebagai Khadijah, wanita utama yang bisa mendampingi sang suami Rasulullah saw menerima tugas risalah…..<br />
Istrimu adalah tanggung jawabmu….<br />
Jangan kau larang mereka taat kepada Allah…..<br />
Biarkan mereka menjadi wanita shalilah….<br />
Biarkan mereka menjadi Hajar atau Maryam……..<br />
Jangan kau belenggu mereka dengan egomu…</span></font><font size="2" face="Tahoma"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Tahoma;">Saudaraku…….<br />
Jika engkau menjadi istri………<br />
Jangan engkau paksa suamimu menurutimu……<br />
Jangan engkau paksa suamimu melanggar Allah……<br />
siapkan dirimu untuk menjadi Hajar, yang setia terhadap tugas suami…..<br />
Siapkan dirimu untuk menjadi Maryam, yang bisa menjaga kehormatannya….<br />
Siapkan dirimu untuk menjadi Khadijah, yang bisa yang bisa mendampingi suami menjalankan misi.<br />
Jangan kau usik suamimu dengan rengekanmu….<br />
Jangan kau usik suamimu dengan tangismu….<br />
Jika itu kau lakukan…..<br />
Kecintaannya terhadapmu akan memaksanya menjadi<br />
pendurhaka…………….jangan……….</span></font><font size="2" face="Tahoma"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Tahoma;">Saudarau……..<br />
Jika engaku menjadi Bapak……<br />
Jadilah bapak yang bijak seperti Lukmanul Hakim<br />
Jadilah bapak yang tegas seperti Ibrahim<br />
Jadilah bapak yang kasih seperti Rasulullah saw<br />
Ajaklah anak-anakmu mengenal Allah……….<br />
Ajaklah mereka taat kepada Allah…….<br />
Jadikan dia sebagai Yusuf yang berbakti…….<br />
Jadikan dia sebagai Ismail yang taat…….<br />
Jangan engkau jadikan mereka sebagai Kan’an yang durhaka.</span></font><font size="2" face="Tahoma"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Tahoma;">Mohonlah kepada Allah……….<br />
Mintalah kepada Allah, agar mereka menjadi anak yang shalih…..<br />
Anak yang bisa membawa kebahagiaan.</span></font><font size="2" face="Tahoma"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Tahoma;">Saudaraku……..<br />
Jika engkau menjadi ibu….<br />
Jadilah engaku ibu yang bijak, ibu yang teduh….<br />
Bimbinglah anak-anakmu dengan air susumu….<br />
Jadikanlah mereka mujahid………<br />
Jadikanlah mereka tentara-tentara Allah…..<br />
Jangan biarkan mereka bermanja-manja…..<br />
Jangan biarkan mereka bermalas-malas……….<br />
Siapkan mereka untuk menjadi hamba yang shalih….<br />
Hamba yang siap menegakkan Risalah Islam.</span></font><font size="2" face="Tahoma"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Tahoma;">AMIN</span></font></p>
