Be like a cactus!

I saw an inward picture of a cactus, standing strong in a desert.

Did you know that a cactus is able to have normal leaves, but they adapt with spines (modified leaves) in the desert to minimize water loss?

It also performs transpiration at night to reduce water loss.

Cacti are classified as “succulents” because they have thickened, fleshy parts to store more water.

Cacti have an extensive root system that don’t go very deep into the ground because most of the groundwater is on the upper layers due to rain. There are hardly any underground stores of water in the desert.

In a hot desert, most plants cannot survive the harsh, dry climate, but a cactus is able to survive and thrive.

It is adaptable, absorbent, attractive (can produce flowers), and able-bodied (the spines fend off predators). Truly an amazing plant that can live where most creatures cannot.

If we look at the cactus as ourselves, water as the water of God’s word, and the hot desert as this world, then we will understand this faith picture that God has for us.

God wants us to store up water and retain it efficiently just like a cactus. A cactus is designed to maximize water gain and minimize water loss.

In this world that prides itself on its own knowledge, rejecting the kingship of God, we must be like a cactus that finds every opportunity to receive God’s word.

You can retain it better when you meditate on His word. Keep it in your heart, and think about it often. This way, you will take in more, and lose less of it.

“They came with haste, and found both Mary and Joseph, and the baby was lying in the feeding trough. When they saw it, they publicized widely the saying which was spoken to them about this child. All who heard it wondered at the things which were spoken to them by the shepherds. But Mary kept all these sayings, pondering them in her heart.” (Luke‬ ‭2:16-19‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Mary did exactly this. When others heard the good news about Jesus, they only wondered at it, but Mary kept these sayings, pondering them in her heart. She was like a cactus and retained the water.

“A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it will not come near you.” (Psalms‬ ‭91:7‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

“For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, who spreads out its roots by the river, and shall not fear when heat comes, but its leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.” (Jeremiah‬ ‭17:8‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

In a desert whereby living creatures who cannot adapt just die of thirst and starvation, you will not. A thousand may fall at your side and ten thousand at your right hand, but it shall not come near you. You shall not even fear the heat when it comes because you are full of God’s word, unceasingly fruitful in every season!

歌词Lyrics：

親愛的你躲在哪裡發呆
有甚麼心事還無法釋懷
我們總把人生想得太壞
像旁人不允許我們的怪
每一片與眾不同的雲彩
都需要找到天空去存在
我們都習慣了原地徘徊
卻無法習慣被依賴

你給我 這一輩子都不想失聯的愛
相信愛的征途就是星辰大海
美好劇情 不會更改
是命運最好的安排
你是我 這一輩子都不想失聯的愛
何苦殘忍逼我把手輕輕放開
請快回來 想聽你說
說你還在

Oh baby why are you hiding from me
親愛的你躲在哪裡發呆
Is there something that’s not going right
有甚麼心事還無法釋懷
You always see the worst of everything
你總把人生想得太壞
Don’t care what people say, Oh, it’s alright
旁人的輿論你不需理會 別擔心
Oh Oh, After a storm there’s a rainbow by your side
哦~ 暴風雨后會有彩虹
Look at the stars above in the dark sky, ooo
你看看黑夜裏的星星在高空中，唔~
We’re wandering, back and forth, day and night
我們日日夜夜原地徘徊
Oh, and our prides makes our hearts cry
因爲自尊 我們讓彼此的心都淚了
After we separate would I still see your face again?
我們分開以後 是否還能見到你呢?
Love is not a road that lead us into pain
愛的征途不應該是傷痛
Past is the past, we couldn’t change
過去讓他過去 我們無法改變
The mess we’ve made, the hearts we’ve ached
我製造的殘局 我們破碎過的心
After we separate would I still see your face again?
我們分開以後 是否還能見到你
Why I’m crying when you are the one that’s leaving
離開的人是你 爲什麽掉淚的人是我？
Just want to say, I’ m always here
只想讓你知道 我一直到在
Waiting for you
等著你

VinegPlus is a local fruit vinegar bar that prides itself in using fruit vinegar in all their drinks.

Naturally the first question that comes to mind is: wouldn’t vinegar taste odd in a juice, like too sour? Well you’d be surprised to know that the taste is actually really good.

Flavor aside, VinegPlus’ drinks are also healthier than normal fruit juice – simply because the fiber in the fruit is also included. They blend whole pieces of fruit in their smoothies so you are not drinking sugary water that’s insanely high in calories.

The fiber also helps to keep you satiated and ultimately prevents you from over eating.
