Keeping your home in tiptop condition saves money and brings a sense of personal accomplishment and peace into your life. I have a do-it-yourself home improvement tip to make shelving support pegs to hold up new shelves in your kitchen or bedroom cupboards. You only need an unused hot glue stick and some screws. Use a cutting knife to slice four sections measuring 10 to 15 millimeters long from the glue stick. Secure each piece in a fixed clamp and drive a screw that is roughly twice the length of each glue stick piece through the center. Mark the four corners where you intend to place the shelving pegs, then fasten them securely. Finally, position your shelf atop the pegs, ensuring stability and balance.
There are many ways to make you laugh, and the joke of the day is one of them. Here it comes! This one’s entitled “Curious Kid.”
A dad got his son his first watch to tell time. The boy was very excited and said:
“Thank you, Dad. You know, I was thinking.... The person who invented the first watch... How did he know what time it was to set the time?”
?!
And now we have a heartline from Wen-Lan in China:
Respected and Beloved Master, May Your Buddha body stay in safety and good health. I miss You! I was fortunate to have attended COP28. The work in Dubai was just tailor-made for me. It was similar to my usual work, except that the other parties were dignitaries from various countries.
On the first day, we promoted veganism at the entrance of the Blue Zone. We were wearing national costumes, holding placards, and saying out loud slogans advocating for veganism and implementing Vegan Law. That attracted the attention of and prompted interviews by the mass media from various countries. A Brazilian sister in her fruit hat was eye-catching. Many media interviewed her, and I helped her communicate with the media of different countries. In front of the cameras of the world media, we promoted the concept of veganism while distributing flyers and Supreme Master TV cards to attract the attention of more people.
Independent media and state-owned media from multiple countries interviewed us, including CCTV. We waited at the special entrance for heads of state or government, looking for opportunities to give out the “vegan” caps. It was interesting that when we met His Serene Highness Prince Albert II of Monaco, He accepted the pink cap. And to our surprise, he consented kindly when we asked if we could take a picture with Him. We were flattered and took a precious group photo. In addition, the former Executive Secretary of The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change also took a close photo with us.
We distributed 1,000 vegan meals every day, 600 of which were for the Blue Zone, aiming for the political leaders of various countries. The G20 countries were our priority targets. I helped tabulate the delivery tasks and add up the results. In the second week, a Brazilian couple, a Canadian brother and I became a team of four by God’s arrangement and we efficiently gave out one-third to one-half of the total vegan meals for the Blue Zone. After serving the G20 members, we also took care of other countries like Ukraine (Ureign), Syria, Australia, Azerbaijan, etc., and distributed flyers and Supreme Master TV cards, letting more countries receive God’s Blessings and meritorious rewards.
I was so happy to be God’s instrument to distribute Blessings for 12 days. It was extremely saintly and satisfying. I hope I can become a steady member of the working team for United Nations affairs in the future! Wen-Lan from China
Joyful Wen-Lan, Thank you for sharing your encouraging heartline with us.
Master has a special message for you: “Enthusiastic Wen-Lan, reading your words, I felt your genuine excitement to participate in the noble work at COP28. This is such an important feeling to cultivate when doing God’s assignments in the world. We don’t do it to get merit or rewards, but because in our hearts, we truly feel motivated by love and the desire to help fellow humans. I am very glad to have a disciple like you who naturally approaches serving others this way and is happy to do it. Continue to find opportunities to help spread the vegan message. Love You. May legendary China bask in Heaven’s Great Light with you, always.”
