Dengarkan Firman Tuhan

Growing by Knowing by Jon Walker

"We believe and know that you are the Holy One of God" (John 6:69 NIV).


Because the well runs dry, we know Jesus is the river of living water (John 4).


Because the storm rages, we know Jesus is the Lord of the storms (Matthew 14).


Because the floods overwhelm, we know Jesus is the rock on which to build (Matthew 7).


Because the foundation shivers, we know Jesus is the cornerstone that will not move (Matthew 21).


Because sickness comes, we know Jesus is the healer (Matthew 4).


Because we're bankrupt through the debt of sin, we know Jesus is our redeemer (Galatians 3).


Because we grieve, we know Jesus is the voice calling from the shore, "Friends, haven’t you any fish?" (John 21).


Because we're full of doubt, we know Jesus is the nail-scarred palm inviting our touch (John 20).


Jesus taught in the nasty-now-and-now because he knew disciples with focused faith are never made in the classroom; we're made in the uncertainty of life as we come face-to-face with "I can't; but God can." Our lives change more through the crisis we experience than through the creed we confess.


In other words, what we know first-hand of God is what takes root and changes the way we live. We change because we have believed and come to know the Holy One of God (based in John 6:69).















Ibadah yang murni

Malam; pkl : 08 : 10  waktu  Qatar, tgl. 08 Nopember, 2009, Saya  baca   firman  Tuhan  yang  sangat  indah:

" Ibadah  yang  murni dan yang tak bercacat di hadapan Allah, Bapa  kita, ialah  mengunjungi  yatim piatu dan janda-janda dalam  kesusahan mereka, dan menjaga supaya dirinya tidak dicemarkan oleh dunia"

(Yakobus 1; 27)

Kehadiran Nya penuh Berkat

Safe In His Presence


Psa 91:4-6 He shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler. You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day, nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.


I’ve dropped by today with what I believe to be some very important news: "Safety is not found in the absence of danger, but in the presence of God." Therefore, it makes no difference what is going on around you, but it makes a tremendous difference where you are!


Remember that from the very beginning in the Garden of Eden, the Master Creator came down to walk with Adam in "the cool of the day." Yes. The Holy One wanted to fellowship with the one whom He had created in "His own image."(Gen 1:27 And He still wants to dwell in unbroken fellowship with His People!


Remember that it was because of sin, that "Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden."(Gen 3:8) And individuals are still hiding from God’s presence, because of sin in their life!


And later on in Lev 26:8-12, we may read God’s Words, "Five of you shall chase a hundred, and a hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight; your enemies shall fall by the sword before you. For I will look on you favorably and make you fruitful, multiply you and confirm My covenant with you. You shall eat the old harvest, and clear out the old because of the new. I will set My tabernacle among you, and My soul shall not abhor you. I will walk among you and be your God, and you shall be My people.


Notice His words, " I will walk among you and be your God, and you shall be My people." A lot had transpired between the time "Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden," and Lev 26:8-12. However, one thing had not changed: God still wanted, and still wants to fellowship with His children.


Many year ago I had several bantam chickens running free around my house. They do a marvelous job of keeping the insect population is check. But one night, a skunk decided to dine on one of the baby chicks. The following evening I went outside to check on the mother hen, and her babies, and could not locate them. Then I heard a slight rustle, and looked up in a bush in the yard.


There among those branches, too high for the skunk to reach, was the mother hen, with her chicks snuggled under the "feathers" of her wings. And that my friend, is exactly what God would have you do when danger arrives. He wants you to snuggle up to Him, so that He can "cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you shall take refuge!"


No matter what happens, remember that "safety is not found in the absence of danger, but in the presence of God."


If you’re hurting financially because of the troubled economy, "safety is not found in the absence of danger, but in the presence of God." If you are concerned about being laid off from your job, "safety is not found in the absence of danger, but in the presence of God."


Have you forgotten that God said of Himself, "I am the Lord, I do not change."(Mal 3:6) God wanted Adam and Eve to feel safe in His presence, but because of their sin, they hid from him. God wanted the Israelites to take advantage of His presence, and He still wants that for you!


If there is sin in your life, remember that God already knows all about it, so confess it to Him, and renew your fellowship with Him. Never forget that "safety is not found in the absence of danger, but in the presence of God."

Dwell in His presence; you’ll like it!

Firman Tuhan memberikan pencerahan

You’re God’s Favorite


Psa 75:1 We give thanks to You, O God, we give thanks! For Your wondrous works declare that Your name is near.

I recently had a beautiful license-size plate made for the front of my wife’s car. Against a picture of a beautiful sunset, it says, "I’m God’s Favorite." Would you believe that some individuals are offended when they read her plate!


My friend, each and every child of God should look upon themselves as "God’s Favorite!" So I’m going to ask you, "Do you live every day as a privileged "child of God?""(Phil 2:15) If not, why not? If your daddy was the president of the United States, would you elect to live in the slums? If you father was a multi-billionaire, and willing to provide anything that you need, would you go hungry?


My friend, I’ve dropped by today to remind you that your Heavenly Father is interested in the littlest details of your life. When I go to the post office, and from down the street I observe that all the parking places are taken, and then, when I’m only a few feet away, a car pulls out, I thank God for His goodness to me.


And let’s look at this from a different view-point: I could be that just before I can pull into the parking spot, another car squeezes in ahead of me. Instead of grumbling, I should remember that "all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose."(Rom 8:28)


And when I come out of the post office, I observe a crowd around the car that squeezed in ahead of me, because a car came careening down the street, and totally demolished the driver’s side. Yes, "all things work together for good to those who love God!"


My wife continually says, "I’m God’s favorite!" And I smile and think, "Yes you are." But the good news for every "child of God," is that every single one is His favorite! So why not live like it? Don’t take His benefits for granted; say "Thank you Father!"


My friend, if you’ll live as if "you’re God’s favorite," you’ll discover that everywhere you turn, good things happen to, and for you. You’ll find that you simply can’t run fast enough, to outrun your Heavenly Father’s favor! Unless, of course, you’re running away from Him, and that a whole different matter!


When you live as "God’s favorite," people will make exceptions, and others change their minds, and you’ll benefit. Is that just chance? Absolutely not, "you’re God’s favorite!"


Are you seemingly overwhelmed with a problem? If so, remember that "God is [your] refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore [you] will not fear, even though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; though its waters roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with its swelling."(Psa 46:1-3) Yes, "you’re God’s favorite!"


You may be the son or daughter of a famous person, and good things seem to follow you around. Is it because of your earthly heritage? Definitely not, "you’re God’s favorite!" When you walk into a business establishment, someone may hold the door open for you; is it because you’re so cute? No my friend, "you’re God’s favorite!"


My wife recently stopped at Popeyes at the end of a long day. She was hungry, and she prefers white meat. As she drove up, the lady told her, "I’m sorry, we’re closing, and we only have one piece of chicken left." I’ll let you guess what kind it was. Yes, it was a breast, "white meat." Why was that? Because my wife is "God’s favorite," and so are you my friend!


No matter what happens, remember that "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength."(Deu 6:5)

Remember; "you’re God’s favorite!"

Choosing to Become Like Jesus by Rick Warren

"This will continue until we are . . . mature, just as Christ is, and we will be completely like him" (Ephesians 4:13 CEV).

Spiritual maturity is neither instant nor automatic; it is a gradual, progressive development that will take the rest of your life as God helps you make healing choices.
The Apostle Paul said, "This will continue until we are . . . mature, just as Christ is, and we will be completely like him" (Ephesians 4:13 CEV).

As you struggle with your hurts, habits, and hang-ups, it is important to remember you are a work in progress. God doesn’t expect you to be perfect; he knows you will make mistakes. The Bible says we won't be perfectly like Jesus until we’re able to see Jesus perfectly: "We can't even imagine what we will be like when Christ returns. But we do know that when he comes we will be like him, for we will see him as he really is" (1 John 3:2 NLT).


A simple truth to remember is that God is far more interested in building your character than he is anything else. We worry when God seems silent on a specific issue, but what God cares about most is that whatever you do, you do in a Christlike manner (1 Corinthians 10:31; 1 Corinthians 16:14; Colossians 3:17, 23).


In other words, God is interested in who you are. For instance, he's much more concerned about your character than your career, because you will take your character into eternity, but not your career.


The Bible warns, "Don’t become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You'll be changed from the inside out . . . Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you" (Romans 12:2 MSG).


Becoming like Jesus means we must make choices that are countercultural. These kinds of healing choices will protect us from other forces trying to mold us into their image.


Jesus did not die on the cross just so we could simply live comfortable, well-adjusted lives. His purpose is far deeper: he wants to make us like himself before he takes us to heaven.


Peace be with you all, in our Lord Jesus’name.


Someone asked: Why is it that our God allows evil to have a say in this world? Why is it that we often have people beside us or within our community or neighbor or officemate or just someone that tends to ruin our seemingly beautiful day??


ANSWER: GOD is building our character. As the meditation says: our God is more interested in who we are and who we’ll become. Is it a test? In a way, yes. A test for us to know how strong and capable we are. Remember that when you accepted Jesus Christ as your Savior, the Holy Spirit has dwelt in you. And because of this, the fruit of the Spirit will flow out of your character. Not in an instant, but gradually as you become closer to Him, our Lord Jesus, we become more like Him.


In Galatians 5:22-23 The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.


This is the outcome of having the Holy Spirit within us. So, let us always be reminded that once we proclaimed Jesus Christ as our Savior and Lord, we have the Spirit within us. This helps us develop our character according to what God wants us to be.


Don’t allow the enemy to win by succumbing to the temptation of getting back at him. That enemy is laughing his heart out if you do. Don’t allow the enemy to take away the joy you have in Christ and Christ’s joy in you. Don’t allow the evil things of this world rob the joy that Christ have in us.


And if still you’re finding it hard to “control” yourself…then always meditate on:


Philippians 4:8 Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable (to that person)- if anything is excellent or praiseworthy – think of such things. J


Just think about it. If you think positively it will also flow out of you positively. Think of the positive things that person has in his/her character and all the bad things about that person or situation will disappear, replaced by the love our God has for us. If our God can erase our sins and decided not to make records of it all, who are we then not to forgive? Who are we then to think ill of your brother/sister?


So be on guard of your reactions, feelings, etc. It may be hard, yes, that is why we must immerse ourselves daily, every minute of our lives, with the Word of God. For we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us.


Believe that He who is in you is greater than he who is in this world. Let us choose to become more like Jesus.


Glory to God!!!

Jangan biarkan rasa bencimu kepada seseorang merusak hidupmu

The Healing Choice to Forgive by Rick Warren

"Never pay back evil with more evil . . . Don't let evil conquer you, but conquer evil by doing good" (Romans 12:17, 21 NLT).


What is your normal reaction when people hurt you intentionally? Retaliate! Get even! We're often at our creative best when we're thinking up methods to get even.


But the Bible teaches we need to make a choice to forgive. Instead of reacting, we should take the initiative to forgive.


In his book, Why Am I Afraid To Tell You Who I Am?, John Powell says he was walking down the street with a friend and they stopped to get a paper. The man selling the paper was discourteous and very rude. As they walked away, John's friend said to the man, "You have a nice day, now!"

John asked his friend, "Is that man always that rude to you?"


"Yes."


"Are you always that nice to him?"


John's friend said, "Yes, I'm not going to let one man ruin my day."


The brilliant African-American scientist, Booker T. Washington, faced prejudice all his life, but he made a very significant choice about how he would handle it: "I will never allow another man to control or ruin my life by making me hate him."


The moment you start retaliating or seeking revenge is the same moment you give up control of your life. You have allowed the person you're angry at to gain control of your life because you are reacting, which is a position of weakness, as opposed to forgiving, which is a position of Christlike strength.


The Bible teaches, "Dear friends, never take revenge. Leave that to the righteous anger of God. For the Scriptures say, 'I will take revenge; I will pay them back,' says the Lord" (Romans 12:19 NLT).

Gereja hari Jum'at di Qatar

Dihari Jum'at ini; 23  Oktober, 2009  saya  dan teman; Charles tambunan ke Gereja : Diocose of  Cyprus and the Gulf; The Church of  the Epiphany Chaplaincy in Qatar. Sebenarnya, bukan setiap hari Jum'at aja ke Gereja, tapi juga  dibuka hari Minggu  sore. Di Qatar  hari Jum'at  adalah  hari libur; di Indonesia hari libur adalah  setiap  hari Minggu.

Jesus and his disciples came to Jericho. As he and  his disciples  and  a  large crowd were leaving Jericho. Bartimaeus son of Timaeus, a blind beggar, was sitting  by the roadside. When he  heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to shout out and say, " Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!" Many sternly ordered him to  quite, but  he cried out even more loudly, " Son of David, have mercy on me!" Jesus stood still and  said, " Call him here," And they called the blind man, saying to him," Take heart; get up, he is  calling you." So throwing off his cloak, he sprang up and came to Jesus. Then Jesus said to him, " What do you want me to do for you?" The blind man said to him, " My teacher, let me see again." Jesus  said to him, " Go; your faith has made you well." Immediately he  regained his sight and followed him on the way. 

(Mark 10; 46-52)

Lagu  ini  berkumandang  untuk  memuliakan  Tuhan; betapa besarnya  kasih  Tuhan  kepada  kita  semua :

                      " For God so loved the world, that  He  gave  his  only  begotten Son.
                        that  whosoever  believeth  in  Him  shall  not  perish, but  have  ever
                        lasting  life "  ( John  3,16)

The Church of the Epiphany Chaplaincy in Qatar

Hari  ini; Jum'at  tgl. 16, 2009  saya  dan  teman; Charles  Pardomuan  Tambunan  ke Gereja. Masuk  pkl. 09:30 dan  keluar  11:30. Di Gereja  ini dibuka  untuk  umum; yang  hadir : Orang  Eropah, Afrika, India, Filipina , Indonesia  dan  lain-lain. Di Gereja  ini  berkumpul menjadi  tujuan : memuji  nama Nya  dan  mengucap  syukur  kepada  Yesus  Kristus :  " Melayani  bukan  dilayani ".


Glory  to  Christ  our  Saviour


James  and  Jhon, the  sons  of  Zabedee, came  forward  to  Jesus  and  said  to  him, " Teacher, we want  you  to  do for us  whatever  we  ask  of  you . " And  he  said  to  them, " What  is it  you  want me to do  for you?"  And  they  said  to  him, " Grant  us  to  sit, one  at  your  right  hand  and  one  at  your  left, in your  glory. " But  Jesus  said  to  him, " You  do  not  know  what  you  are  asking. Are  you  able  to  drink  the  cup  that  drink, or  baptized  with  baptism  that  I am  baptized  with?"  they  replied, " we  are  able. " The  cup  that  I  drik  you  will  drink; and  with  the  baptism  with  which I am  baptized, you  will  baptized; but  to  sit  at  my  right  hand or  at  my  left  is  not  mine  to  grant, but  it  is  for  those  for  whom  it  has  been  prepared. " When  the  ten  heard  this  , they  began  to  be  angry  with  James  and  Jhon. So  Jesus  called  them  and  said  to  them, " You  know  that  among  the  Gentiles  those  whom  they  recognize  as  their  rulers  Lord  it  over  them, and  their   great   ones   are  tyrants  over  them. But  it  is  not  so   among  you; but  whoever  wishes  to  become   great  among   you  must  be  your  servant, and  whoever  wishes  to  be  first  among   you  must  be  slave  of  all. For  the  Son  of  Man  came  not  to  be  served  but  to  serve,  and  to  give  his  life  ransom  for  many."  (Mark  10: 35-45).

Bermimpilah; Wujudkan mimpimu hanya untuk kemuliaan Tuhan.

Mimpi, merupakan bunga-bunga kehidupan disaat kita tidur terlelap.
Bermimpilah; wujudkan mimpimu hanya  untuk kemuliaan Tuhan; dan dengarkan lagu " I dreamed a dream" ini yang  sangat  indah  dan menyentuh dinyanyikan oleh seorang biduanita dari Les Miserable saat  mereka merayakan 10 tahun  terbentuknya  group ini.
                                      I  dreamed  a  dream
                                       There was a time when men were kind
                                    When their voices were soft
                                    and their words inviting
                                    There was at  time when love was blind...........
                                    And the world has a song......
                                    And the  song  was  exciting
                                    There  was  a  time........
                                    Then it all  went  wrong


                                    I  dreamed a dream in time gone by......
                                    When hope was high and  life worth living
                                    I dreamed that love would never die......
                                    I dreamed that God would be forgiving
                                   
                                    When  I was young and unafraid...........
                                    When dreams were made and used and wasted
                                    There was no ransom to be paid........
                                    No song unsung, no wine untasted
                           
                                    But the tigers come at night
                                    With their voices soft as  thunder.......
                                    As  they tear your hope apart.......
                                    As  they turn your  dream to shame......


                                    He sleft a summer by my side.........
                                    He filled my days with endless wonder
                                    He took my  childhood in his stride.....
                                    But he was gone when autum came


                                    And still I dream he'll  come  to  me.........
                                    That we will live the years together
                                    But there are dreams that can not be.........
                                    And there are storms we can not weather


                                    I had a dream my life would be.........
                                    So different from this hell  I'm living
                                    So different now from what I  seemed
                                    Now life has killed the dream..........


                                    I   dreamed.................

Soripada na burju; Istri yang baik

Rindu. Itulah satu  kata yang merasuk hatiku; ntah' kenapa, kalau  aku pergi jauh demi  sesuap nasi :
1. Di Batam tahun 1990; saat  itu  belum nikah; diriku selalu  rindu dengan bekas pacarku ; yang menjadi istriku sekarang dan anehnya  ada  aja  lagu rindu ku  saat  itu yaitu:  " Ini  rindu " ; katakan  padanya aku rindu. Yang dinyanyikan dengan  apiknya oleh Alm. Farid Hardja
2. Tatkala di Batam lagi tahun 1999; sudah  punya anak dua, ku rindu lagi  dan  ada  aja  lagu  rindu saat  itu  yaitu : " Kuch kuch Hota Hai "  ; film India yang sangat  romantis 98' yang  dinyanyikan dengan romantis dan  indahnya oleh duet artis India
Oh, indahnya  lagu-lagu itu. Untuk mengingatkan masa  nostalgia romantisnya film ini  dapat dinikmati : Part- 1 , Part-2 , Part-3

3. Dan saat  di Qatar  ini; lagu rindu ku : " Soripada  Naburju " ; yang artinya : Istri  yang  baik yang dinyanyikan  sangat  menyentuh oleh  trio  penyanyi  Batak : Trio Perdana  dengan  lirik yang sangat  indah  dan  menyentuh :                                                 
                                       Soripadakku  naburju
                                       Nalambok  malilu
                                       Tohoma ho  boru ni Raja
                                       Tinodo ni dainang  I


                                       Nang pe sipata salah do au
                                       Ekkel mi  dibahen ho
                                       Tung so muruk, tung so muruk
                                       Tung lambok panukkun mi


                           Reff.:  Namalo  do dainang manodo ho
                                       Nalao parumaenna
                                       Boi ho sipaniroi, sipanuturi
                                       Diparsaripeonta


                                       Songon  lambok ni nambur
                                       Pambaenan mi
                                       Tu  damang  dainang i
                                       Homa na parjolo, ho do na parpudi
                                       Saleleng  ngolukki.
                              
Istri yang baik merupakan putri Raja yang  menjadi  idaman Orang-Tua kita. Walaupun kita salah, istri tidak marah; malah dengan senyum  dan  tidak  marah  menanyakan masalah apa  yang kita  hadapi. Ibu kita merupakan saringan untuk menyetujui pernikahan yang menyenangkan hati  Orang-Tua kita. Istri yang  baik merupakan teman hidup; dibiduk pernikahan kita  untuk pertama  dan  terakhir bagi hidup  kita .

Demikian juga Istriku tercinta, saat  ini merelakan  suaminya pergi jauh  demi  untuk sesuap  nasi dan  tidak ada  rasa  curiga "apapun" kepada suaminya tercinta dan  menjaga  anak-anak kami menggapai cita-cita yang diinginkan.

Menghormati orang lain seperti dirimu sendiri

Teringat akan 20  tahun  silam; saat  mengumandang lagu-lagu  hit 80-an, teringat juga kala itu kehidupan  ku sebagai anak kontrakan; anak kost : menahan  lapar ; pokoknya, makan ta' karuan. Ya, terpaksa mie instan lagi.
Pasang musik sekencang-kencangnya; tak perduli  dengan  teman  se rumah  apalagi se kamar. Namun, tatkala keadaan ini kembali  lagi  saat  di Qatar ini, Saya usahakan  menghormati  teman se kamar saya ; laki.
Perusahaan asing, dimana  saya  bekerja  saat  ini: memberikan pemondokkan khusus  orang Indonesia. Satu  pemondokkan isinya 6 kamar=12 orang  dan  termasuk  mobil  jemputan dari pondokkan ke kantor  dan  sebaliknya. Pokoknya, yang  diurus  hanya  kerjaan  doang.
Dan  kembali ke teman  sekamar, teman  se kamar saya; namanya Arif (umur 40-an) seorang Muslimin. Pengalaman  saya  yang  20 tahun  itu menjadi  pengalaman  berharga  buat  saya ; tatkala saya pulang  pagi; karena  kerja  malam, saya  membuka  pintu kamar dan pintu lemari dengan perlahan-lahan agar teman  saya   itu  tidak  terbangun dari  tidur  nyenyaknya. Dan  untuk memakai komputer; laptop pribadi , saya usahakan keruangan  tamu  bawah; dengan maksud agar  teman saya  tidak  terganggu dari  mimpi indahnya.
Pernah, kali waktu; saat  saya  pulang pagi, saya  mau buka  kamar  ternyata dikunci dari dalam dan kuncinya  ternyata  nempel di lobang kunci; dan  akhirnya tidak bisa  saya  buka. Dan  akhirnya, saya tidur di sofa bawah  aja; demi untuk menghormati  teman  saya. Pokoknya, energi saya menghormati orang lain seperti  diri saya  sendiri.

Masak sendiri















Saat aku pertama sekali menginjak daratan negeri gas ini; 11 Maret, 2009, yang menjadi ganjalan; pertanyaan dalam hatiku (?) :
1. Makan (?) , 2. Cuaca (?); panas (?), 3. Pekerjaan dan Bahasa asing; inggris (?), maklum, tau aja, bah. inggris ku ; hanya dipas paskan; cukup.
1.Makan : Tiga bulan pertama , makan diluar; restoran India, Bangladesh yang memang banyak di negeri ini. Hari pertama; kaget saya; banyaknya itu lho; menggunung, sepertinya porsi untuk tiga orang dan rasanya, gimana, ya : mual. Ada yang namanya : Nasi birani (foto No.3 atas), porata, muton;daging kambing kari (foto paling bawah ), muton cuka, chicken kari ,tapi  restoran Bangla menghidangkannya dengan panas-panas dibandingkan dengan warung India.
Ada sich, Restoran rasa Indonesia; di Sentral namanya, sekitar 45 menit naik taxi dari villa saya (di Qatar, villa=pemondokan). Mahalnya eh, : sekitar 25 riyal per porsi belum lagi ongkos taxinya.
Akhirnya; setelah melihat rekan-rekan seperjuangan, masak sendiri dan mempertimbangkan segi ekonomisnya juga. Makan diluar : rata-rata 360 riyal per bulan atau sekitar Rp.972.000,- per bulan (1 riyal qatar=Rp.2700,- ; sebenarnya variatif  antara Rp.2500,- - Rp.2800,-) dibandingkan masak sendiri : rata-rata 250 riyal perbulan dan lebih higenis dan yang jelas rasa Indonesia.
Di supermarket; Al Meera hanya 10 menit jalan kaki dari pemondokan tersedia bahan yang mau kita masak dan termasuk mie instannya Indo food tersedia disini.
Pulang kerja; jam 7 pagi, aku langsung ambil nasi sisa kemarin malam untuk digoreng campur dengan telor, udang dan kadang kala juga dengan ayam yang sudah digoreng (foto No.2 atas).
Sebenarnya, hal ini sudah biasa bagiku; bekas anak kost di Jakarta. Dan kalau malam hari;mulai pukul 8 malam, ku mulai nanak nasi untuk malam dan pagi. Makan malam, biasanya dengan telor dadar atau mie instan (foto No.1 atas). Rasanya masakan RK(?) : malu  ah, ngomongnya. Yang penting : panas  dan hegenisnya.
Ternyata ilmu kost yang 20 tahun lalu; bisa diterapkan di negeri gas ini.
Terima kasih buat Istriku tersayang yang kuintip ilmu masaknya selama ini dan juga sobat-sobat satu kontrakan; kost dahulu; saat betapa susahnya menuntut ilmu dan begadang untuk ujian besok paginya dan juga memasak mie instannya.
Tahun 80-an, Kakak-kakak ku tersayang  mengirim uang makanku  sebesar  50 ribu setiap bulannya.





Kenalan,ya.....

Sebenarnya, saat di Tanah airku; Indonesia,  Aku ingin membuat blog; menulis; berbagi cerita buat seluruh saudara ku sebangsa dan setanah air. Tetapi, kala itu, waktu ku sangatlah sempit untuk menyampaikan tulisan.Tapi , saat aku mencari sesuap nasi di negeri gas dan minyak ini; Qatar, terasa ada waktu senggangku ; ku mamfaatkan untuk mengisi hari-hari yang penuh rindu untuk membuat tulisan; walaupun hanya beberapa kata saja. Yang kuharapkan dapat  menjadi energi  bagi kita semua. Terima kasih.
