We Are Human, Not God..

Tuhan itu ADA disetiap ciptaan-Nya termasuk manusia. Tapi manusia sudah jelas BUKAN Tuhan. Jadi jangan mengira kebebasan yang diberikan Tuhan adalah tanpa batas, karena kebebasan kita HARUS TERBATAS.

Itulah sebabnya ada agama.  Agama bukan untuk mengkotak-kotak manusia, melainkan sebuah kepercayaan kepada keTuhanan yg Maha Esa.  Fungsinya adalah sebagai sarana manusia beribadah kepada Tuhannya melalui kitab-kitab yang dibawa masing-masing rasul-Nya.  Tanpa agama, manusia akan bertindak beringas, melakukan apapun yang mereka suka, mengejar apa yang mereka mau.  Agama adalah pagar supaya manusia tahu batas. 

Jadi sebagai seorang manusia, sebaiknya kita kembali melihat kedalam diri sendiri sejauh mana kita bisa mengambil apa yang tersedia dibumi.  Seberapa banyak yang semestinya cukup untuk kita miliki.  Meski diberi kemampuan dan kehebatan lebih dibanding mahluk lain manapun, manusia harus tahu diri, harus eling dan sharing dengan mahluk lain.  Bukan menjadi superior diatas sesamanya maupun hewan ataupun tumbuh-tumbuhan.  

Mari kita hargai sesama, mari kita hargai hewan-hewan dan tumbuh-tumbuhan yang ada disekitar kita.  Karena walau bagaimanapun mereka juga mahluk hidup yang memiliki rasa dan juga memiliki kelebihan-kelebihan yang mereka beri bagi kepentingan umat manusia juga.  So human, let us save this earth from the damage.  Let us protect those animals and the forests around us.  Start thinking and using our heart and brain to free some space for them.  If you destroy them, you destroy us and your children as well. 

Babies Giggle..

When babies look beyond you and giggle, maybe they're seeing angels....

Giving Your Love

On this day of your life, Paramitha, we believe God wants you to know ... that you can only give away what you already have inside yourself. True giving happens when you are overflowing from the inside, and cannot help but share. When there is so much love within you that it has to flow to others or you would burst open. There is no thinking involved, no willpower in such sharing. It just flows out. If you have to force yourself to be kind, to love, to feel compassion, you've missed the first step of filling in your own Self with these emotions.

If I Had My Child To Raise Again Movie

If I Had My Child To Raise Again Movie: We're excited to share with you a short inspirational movie based on the highly acclaimed poem "If I Had My Child to Raise Over Again" by Diana Loomans. We often say children grow up in a flash - that before you know it, they turn from grinning toddlers to insolent teenagers. Perhaps it isn't about the speed in which they grow, it's about how present we are able to be in each and every moment of their lives. It's about how we cherish the time we spend with them. Take just 3 minutes now to watch this short movie. Sit back, turn up your speakers and enjoy!

Kebahagiaan Terbesarku

Hari ini aku bangga sekali dengan anakku Darren.  Pagi ini dia berinisiatif membantu gurunya membawakan alat-alat tulis dari ruang kelas, ke ruang lain untuk disimpan.  Diam-diam aku memperhatikan dari awal, ketika dia melihat seorang ibu gurunya kerepotan membawa peralatan menulis yang tertumpuk ditangan.  Tiba-tiba anakku menawarkan bantuannya ke guru tersebut, "Sini aku bantu bu Ida bawakan krayon-krayonnya."  Ya Allah..aku bangga sekali melihatnya..Tak menyangka anakku manis sekali.  Ternyata ia anak yang baik hati dan perhatian.

Meski dimataku ia agak terlalu aktif, ternyata dia punya sisi yang mengagumkan.  So proud of him!  Alhamdulillah, anakku bisa memberi contoh positif bagi teman-temannya juga.  Tahukah bloggers, karena inisiatifnya itu, teman-teman yang bersamanya pun akhirnya membantu dia membawakan alat-alat menggambar yang lain.  Aku berharap, kelak dia menjadi seorang pemimpin yang baik hati dan penuh perhatian terhadap manusia lainnya.  InsyaAllah..Inilah kebahagiaanku yang tak terkira yang selalu aku syukuri.  Punya anak yang sholeh.  Aamiin.

Dear Darren,
Mama bangga padamu nak, kelak mama harap kamu menjadi anak yang sholeh, pemimpin bangsa yang baik hati, dan penuh kasih sayang pada sesama.  Mama harap kamu tumbuh menjadi anak yang jujur, dan penuh perhatian.  I love you..mmuahh..

Love you always,
Mama

Orang baik itu banyak yang membenci. Benci karena iri pada jiwa suci mereka.

Working Together

On this day of your life, Paramitha, we believe God wants you to know ... that working together is good.
We are meant to support one another in this world. Let go of the feeling that you have to do everything alone. Ask someone if they want to join you.

Menyepi Tuk Dekatkan Diri Pada Tuhan

Orang yang suka menyepi, biasanya lebih dekat dengan Tuhan.  Ia mencari kedamaian dengan dan dari dalam dirinya sendiri melalui dialog-dialognya dengan sang Ilahi.  Contohnya para biksu, sufism, ulama-ulama.

Sebagai manusia biasa, terkadang kita terlalu lemah dalam mengingat sang Khalik ketika kita berada di tengah-tengah dunia yang serba gemerlap.  Kegiatan-kegiatan yang menyita kehidupan sering membawa kita kepada pergaulan dan lingkup sosial yang bergelimang dengan materi dan kemaksiatan.  Coba direnungkan, ketika kita bertemu dengan teman-teman untuk bersosialisasi seperti istilah hang out, jalan-jalan di mall, berbelanja dan sebagainya, masih sempatkah kita mengingat-Nya? Tidak banyak orang yang menyempatkan dirinya shalat lima waktu ketika sedang berada di mall.  Kadang ingat, kadang juga tidak.  Tapi sepertinya lebih sering tidaknya:)

Coba deh luangkan sedikit waktu untuk tinggal dirumah, melakukan kegiatan yang bermanfaat hanya dirumah saja, saya yakin sebagian orang ada yang resah.  Bawaannya pasti bete, atau bingung mau melakukan apa dirumah dan bagi mereka mungkin dirumah itu seperti berada di dalam penjara.  Tidak fun, atau tidak ada rasa nyaman tuk tinggal dirumah.  Orang-orang seperti ini jiwanya gelisah.  Ia mencari kedamaian justru dari luar.  Ia baru merasa 'hidup' ketika dia sedang berada diluar, ketika bertemu dengan teman-temannya.  Padahal di luar rumah itu mereka tidak mendapatkan apa-apa kecuali keluar uang.  Mereka boleh saja mendapatkan teman yang banyak, mendapatkan kesenangan dengan ngobrol sana sini tentang sesuatu hal yang sebenarnya mungkin 'nothing'.  Bergurau, bergosip, pamer ini atau itu.  Yaa paling seputar itu, duniawi.  

Saya tidak bilang bahwa keluar rumah dan bersosialisasi itu tidak penting, boleh saja sih.  Tapi apakah keluar rumahnya itu untuk sesuatu yang bermanfaat? Seperti pergi ke komunitas berkebun, atau menjadi relawan, atau aktivis cagar alam dsb. Keluar rumah yang benar bukan menghamburkan uang, atau berjalan-jalan tanpa membawa manfaat selain cuma kesenangan duniawi semata. Berdialog dengan Tuhan itu lebih penting dibanding dengan hal-hal yang dangkal seperti bergosip dsb.  

Kalau kita tenang batinnya, tinggal dirumah itu lebih baik dan jauh lebih nyaman.  Kita bisa banyak membaca, berinteraksi dengan keluarga, tetangga, mengajarkan anak-anak juga untuk senang tinggal dan bermain dirumah daripada keluar rumah bergaul tak baik. Kalau anak senang tinggal dirumah, dia akan tumbuh bahagia dan merasa utuh dan kelak tidak akan memerlukan pelampiasan kesepiannya diluar rumah. Di dalam rumah kita juga bisa menciptakan hal-hal yang menyenangkan kok bersama-sama.

Orang yang banyak merenung, hatinya biasanya damai.  Dan dia lebih suka berdiam diri melakukan aktifitas yang berguna dirumah dengan lebih banyak mendekat kepada Allah.  Dia mungkin saja menyelesaikan Al-Qur'an, banyak berzikir dan beristighfar, melakukan kegiatan-kegiatan lain dengan keluarga sehingga tercipta suasana nyaman dirumah.  

Lihatlah contoh para biksu, mereka tidak memiliki harta berlimpah, hidup dalam kesederhanaan, jauh dari hiruk pikuk duniawi, namun mereka tetap bisa tersenyum.  Dan batinnya terasa menenangkan jiwa orang yang berada dekat dengannya.  Karena apa? Karena hidup mereka hanya untuk ibadah.  Menyembah dan mendekat kepada Tuhan. 

Jadi,  yuk kita ciptakan lingkungan rumah yang nyaman supaya keluarga kita mau kembali ke rumah.  Supaya kita mendapatkan ketenangan dan kedamaian hati dirumah.  Jauhi keluar rumah yang kegiatannya tidak memiliki manfaat melainkan mudharat.  Sayang uang, gunakan uangmu untuk dibelanjakan kepada hal yang baik.  Untuk sedekah dan berbagi ke orang-orang yang tak mampu daripada dihambur-hamburkan untuk belanja sepatu yang harganya jutaan, atau tas jutaan yang sayang.  Lebih baik waktu dan uang kita dimanfaatkan untuk investasi akhirat saja yang disana kita hidup lebih kekal.  Lebih baik mendekatkan diri pada Allah, daripada bergosip ngomongin orang lain yang cuma menambah dosa, iyakan?

Belanja Buah Murah Meriah



Nih hasilnya..Strawberry Smoothies..

Hari Minggu adalah hari belanja murah di pasar Minggu Punclut!  Mari kita load kulkas kita dengan buah-buahan yang murah meriah.  Untuk Alpukat cukup membayar Rp. 10.000/kg nya, sementara Strawberry hanya Rp. 5000/pack, dan Tomat Rp. 4000/kg saja.  Jadi belanja saya hari ini total hanya mengeluarkan Rp. 24000 Rupiah saja untuk buah-buahan.  Coba bandingkan deh dengan harga buah-buahan di toko buah atau supermarket, lumayan mahal lho mereka.  Dan buah-buahan ini adalah persediaan kami selama seminggu.  Tomat bisa untuk membuat spaghety atau juga juice segar.  Begitu pun dengan Alpukat dan Strawberrynya.  

Yuk kita galakkan untuk hidup sehat alami supaya sehat dan cantik:)

Agar Si Kecil Disiplin Mengerjakan Tugasnya

KOMPAS.com - Si kakak tiba-tiba tergesa-gesa di pagi hari, baru ingat kalau belum mengerjakan PR atau tugas sekolahnya. Sambil sarapan, orangtua pun sibuk membantunya mengerjakan tugas. Kebiasaan seperti ini jelas tidak baik dan semestinya bisa diubah agar tak lagi ada "huru-hara" di pagi hari jelang berangkat sekolah.

Psikolog dari Lentera Insan, Depok, Maghfiroh, SPsi memberikan tiga saran berikut ini untuk para orangtua, dalam membangun kebiasaan baik anak terkait tugas sekolah.

1. Biasakan anak mengerjakan PR atau tugas di hari yang sama sepulang sekolah. Meski tugas atau PR-nya dikumpulkan seminggu lagi, sebaiknya langsung diselesaikan hari itu juga. Mengerjakan PR atau tugas malam sebelum dikumpulkan keesokan harinya sangat berpotensi lupa dan membuat kehebohan di pagi hari.

2. Sediakan whiteboard yang bisa diisi anak, apa saja tugasnya. Tandai mana yang sudah dikerjakan dan mana yang belum, sehingga tidak ada yang terlupa.

3. Kalau orangtua bekerja, setiap siang hari pulang sekolah, teleponlah ke rumah apakah si kakak punya tugas atau PR yang harus dikerjakan. Tanyakan, apakah butuh peralatan tambahan semisal kertas karton atau spidol khusus? Jika PR-nya memerlukan alat-alat tambahan, ibu-ayah bisa membelikannya sepulang kantor. Lalu, sesampainya ayah-ibu di rumah, cek kembali apakah tugas atau PR anak sudah dikerjakan? Yang penting, bangunlah kebiasaan untuk mengerjakan tugas secara disiplin di hari yang sama, bukan keesokan harinya menjelang berangkat sekolah.

Shopping Groceries
