Natal dan Kesederhanaan

Lukas 2:1-20

Ada sebuah cerita tentang mengapa seorang anak raja lahir di kandang domba. Sebelum anak itu lahir, sang raja mengutus seseorang untuk mempersiapkan tempat paling sederhana sabagai tempat kelahiran anak itu, orang itu pun segera mencari tempat yang paling cocok.

Ketika pesuruh itu tiba di hutan, ia mengadakan rapat dengan para hewan untuk mencari tempat kelahiran bagi bayi itu.

Sebagai raja hutan, singa pun berpendapat: ”hanya raja hutan yang layak melayani raja kecil itu datang. Tempatkulah yang paling cocok, aku akan menjaganya sepanjang waktu. Aku akan mencabik-cabik siapa saja yang mendekati bayi itu.

Pesuruh raja: “Kamu terlalu gagah untuk menjaga bayi itu.”

Musang: “tuan menurutku kesehatan bayi itu akan terjamin jika lahir ditempatku. Setiap hari aku akan menyediakan daging ayam untuknya.”

Pesuruh raja: “Kamu terlalu licik dan tidak baik bagi bayi itu.”

Merak: “jika tuan mengijinkan, maka aku akan membuat tempat tidur yang empuk dan indah dari bulu-buluku ini aku akan menghiasnya lebih indah dari apa yang dibuat oleh perajut profesional.”

Pesuruh raja: “Kamu terlalu sombong untuk bayi itu.”

Pesuruh raja itu memandang kepada domba dan keledai yang dari tadi hanya mengangguk-anggukan kepala mereka Pesuruh raja itu menghampiri mereka dan bertanya: Apa yang akan kalian tawarkan?

Domba dan keledai: “tidak ada tuan, kami tidak punya sesuatu yang dapat dibanggakan untuk membahagiakan bayi itu. Kami hanyalah hewan yang setiap hari harus bekerja dan bekerja, walau dicambuk atau digunting bulunya. Khususnya aku, sebagai keledai aku hanya bisa belajar sesuatu ketika menerima lebih banyak cambukan di punggungku.”

Domba menambahkan: “tapi tuan, dengan ekorku yang pendek, aku dapat menjaga bayi itu dari lalat yang ada di kandang. Aku akan terus berjalan sambil mengibas-ngibaskan ekorku yang pendek ini.”

Pesuruh raja: ”Kalian berdualah yang kubutuhkan. Mari kita siapkan segala sesuatu karena bayi itu akan segera lahir.

Dari cerita tersebut sama seperti Tuhan Yesus yang lahir di kandang domba. Yesus hanya akan lahir di hati orang – orang sederhana, yang mau mengakui dan menerima-Nya sebagai Tuhan dan Juruslamat. Lihatlah, kepada siapakah pertama kali malaikat yang memberikan kabar sukacita tentang lahirnya Juruslamat dunia? Kepada para gembala yang sangat sederhana.Tentu Yesus akan senang jika kita merayakan kelahiran-Nya dengan cara yang sederhana, tetapi membawa dampak yang besar bagi pelebaran kerajaan-Nya. Misalnya berbagi kasih dengan para yatim piatu, anak jalanan, pemulung atau para harap dana. Tinggalkan pandangan yang menganggap bahwa natal harus dirayakan dengan mewah di gedung yang megah. Natal adalah moment di mana Juruslamat dunia lahir di hati orang-orang sederhana yang sungguh merindukan keselamatan sejati.

Kisah Nyata

Ada seorang bocah kelas 4 SD di suatu daerah di Milaor Camarine Sur, Filipina, yang setiap hari mengambil rute melintasi daerah tanah yang berbatuan dan menyeberangi jalan raya yang berbahaya dimana banyak kendaraan yang melaju kencang dan tidak beraturan.

Setiap kali berhasil menyebrangi jalan raya tersebut, bocah ini mampir sebentar ke Gereja tiap pagi hanya untuk menyapa Tuhan, sahabatnya.
Tindakannya ini selama ini diamati oleh seorang Pendeta yang merasa terharu menjumpai sikap bocah yang lugu dan beriman tersebut.

"Bagaimana kabarmu, Andy? Apakah kamu akan ke Sekolah?"

"Ya, Bapa Pendeta!" balas Andy dengan senyumnya yang menyentuh hati Pendeta tersebut.

Dia begitu memperhatikan keselamatan Andy sehingga suatu hari dia berkata kepada bocah tersebut, "Jangan menyebrang jalan raya sendirian, setiap kali pulang sekolah, kamu boleh mampir ke Gereja dan saya akan memastikan kamu pulang ke rumah dengan selamat."

"Terima kasih, Bapa Pendeta."

"Kenapa kamu tidak pulang sekarang? Apakah kamu tinggal di Gereja setelah pulang sekolah?"

"Aku hanya ingin menyapa kepada Tuhan.. sahabatku."

Dan Pendeta tersebut meninggalkan Andy untuk melewatkan waktunya di depan altar berbicara sendiri, tetapi pastur tersebut bersembunyi di balik altar untuk mendengarkan apa yang dibicarakan Andy kepada Bapa di Surga.

"Engkau tahu Tuhan, ujian matematikaku hari ini sangat buruk, tetapi aku tidak mencontek walaupun temanku melakukannya. Aku makan satu kue dan minum airku. Ayahku mengalami musim paceklik dan yang bisa kumakan hanya kue ini.
Terima kasih buat kue ini, Tuhan! Tadi aku melihat anak kucing malang yang kelaparan dan aku memberikan kueku yang terakhir buatnya.. lucunya, aku jadi tidak begitu lapar.

Lihat ini selopku yang terakhir. Aku mungkin harus berjalan tanpa sepatu minggu depan.Engkau tahu sepatu ini akan rusak, tapi tidak apa-apa..
paling
tidak aku tetap dapatpergi ke sekolah. Orang-orang berbicara bahwa kami akan mengalami musim panen yang susah bulan ini, bahkan beberapa dari temanku sudah berhenti sekolah, tolong Bantu mereka supaya bisa bersekolah lagi.
Tolong Tuhan.

Oh, ya..Engkau tahu kalau Ibu memukulku lagi. Ini memang menyakitkan, tapi aku tahu sakit ini akan hilang, paling tidak aku masih punya seorang Ibu.
Tuhan, Engkau mau lihat lukaku??? Aku tahu Engkau dapat menyembuhkannya, disini..disini.aku rasa Engkau tahu yang ini kan....??? Tolong jangan marahi ibuku, ya..?? dia hanya sedang lelah dan kuatir akan kebutuhan makan dan biaya sekolahku..itulah mengapa dia memukul aku.

Oh, Tuhan..aku rasa, aku sedang jatuh cinta saat ini. Ada seorang gadis yang sangat cantik dikelasku, namanya Anita. menurut Engkau, apakah dia akan menyukaiku??? Bagaimanapun juga paling tidak aku tahu Engkau tetap menyukaiku karena aku tidak usah menjadi siapapun hanya untuk menyenangkanMu. Engkau adalah sahabatku.

Hei.ulang tahunMu tinggal dua hari lagi, apakah Engkau gembira??? Tunggu saja sampai Engkau lihat, aku punya hadiah untukMu. Tapi ini kejutan bagiMu.
Aku berharap Engkau menyukainya. Oooops..aku harus pergi sekarang."

Kemudian Andy segera berdiri dan memanggil Pendeta .

"Bapa Pendeta..Bapa Pendeta..aku sudah selesai bicara dengan sahabatku, anda bisa menemaniku menyebrang jalan sekarang!"

Kegiatan tersebut berlangsung setiaphari, Andy tidak pernah absen sekalipun.

Pendeta Agaton berbagi cerita ini kepada jemaat di Gerejanya setiap hari Minggu karena dia belum pernah melihat suatu iman dan kepercayaan yang murni kepada Tuhan.. suatu pandangan positif dalam situasi yang negatif.

Pada hari Natal, Pendeta Agaton jatuh sakit sehingga tidak bisa memimpin gereja dan dirawat di rumah sakit. Gereja tersebut diserahkan kepada 4 wanita tua yang tidak pernah tersenyum dan selalu menyalahkan segala sesuatu yang orang lain perbuat. Mereka juga mengutuki orang yang menyinggung mereka.

Ketika mereka sedang berdoa, Andypun tiba di Gereja tersebut usai menghadiri pesta Natal di sekolahnya, dan menyapa "Halo Tuhan..Aku.."

"Kurang ajar kamu, bocah!!!tidakkah kamu lihat kalau kami sedang berdoa???!!! Keluar, kamu!!!!!"

Andy begitu terkejut,"Dimana Bapa Pendeta Agaton..??Seharusnya dia membantuku menyeberangi jalan raya. dia selalu menyuruhku untuk mampir lewat pintu belakang Gereja. Tidak hanya itu, aku juga harus menyapa Tuhan Yesus, karena hari ini hari ulang tahunNya, akupun punya hadiah untukNya.."

Ketika Andy mau mengambil hadiah tersebut dari dalam bajunya, seorang dari keempat wanita itu menarik kerahnya dan mendorongnya keluar Gereja.

"Keluar kamu, bocah!..kamu akan mendapatkannya!!!"

Andy tidak punya pilihan lain kecuali sendirian menyebrangi jalan raya yang berbahaya tersebut di depan Gereja. Lalu dia menyeberang, tiba-tiba sebuah bus datang melaju dengan kencang - disitu ada tikungan yang tidak terlihat pandangan. Andy melindungi hadiah tersebut didalam saku bajunya, sehingga dia tidak melihat datangnya bus tersebut. Waktunya hanya sedikit untuk menghindar.dan Andypun tewas seketika. Orang-orang disekitarnya berlarian dan mengelilingi tubuh bocah malang tersebut yang sudah tidak bernyawa lagi.

Tiba-tiba, entah muncul darimana ada seorang pria berjubah putih dengan wajah yang halus dan lembut, namun dengan penuh airmata dating dan memeluk bocah malang tersebut. Dia menangis.

Orang-orang penasaran dengan dirinya dan bertanya,"Maaf tuan..apakah anda keluarga dari bocah yang malang ini? Apakah anda mengenalnya?"

Tetapi pria tersebut dengan hati yang berduka karena penderitaan yang begitu dalam berkata,"Dia adalah sahabatku." Hanya itulah yang dikatakan.

Dia mengambil bungkusan hadiah dari dalam saku baju bocah malang tersebut dan menaruhnya didadanya. Dia lalu berdiri dan membawa pergi tubuh bocah tersebut, kemudian keduanya menghilang. Orang-orang yang ada disekitar tersebut semakin penasaran dan takjub..

Di malam Natal, Pendeta Agaton menerima berita yang sangat mengejutkan.

Diapun berkunjung ke rumah Andy untuk memastikan pria misterius berjubah putih tersebut. Pendeta itu bertemu dengan kedua orang tua Andy.

"Bagaimana anda mengetahui putra anda telah meninggal?"

"Seorang pria berjubah putih yang membawanya kemari." Ucap ibu Andy terisak.

"Apa katanya?"

Ayah Andy berkata,"Dia tidak mengucapkan sepatah katapun. Dia sangat berduka. Kami tidak mengenalnya namun dia terlihat sangat kesepian atas meninggalnya Andy, sepertinya Dia begitu mengenal Andy dengan baik. Tapi ada suatu kedamaian yang sulit untuk dijelaskan mengenai dirinya. Dia menyerahkan anak kami dan tersenyum lembut. Dia menyibakkan rambut Andy dari wajahnya dan memberikan kecupan dikeningnya, kemudian Dia membisikkan sesuatu.

"Apa yang dikatakan?"

"Dia berkata kepada putraku.." Ujar sang Ayah. "Terima kasih buat kadonya.
Aku akan berjumpa denganmu. Engkau akan bersamaku." Dan sang ayah melanjutkan, "Anda tahu kemudian semuanya itu terasa begitu indah.. aku menangis tapi tidak tahu mengapa bisa demikian. Yang aku tahu.aku menangis karena bahagia..aku tidak dapat menjelaskannya Bapa Pendeta, tetapi ketika dia meninggalkan kami, ada suatu kedamaian yang memenuhi hati kami, aku merasakan kasihnya yang begitu dalam di hatiku.. Aku tidak dapat melukiskan sukacita dalam hatiku. aku tahu, putraku sudah berada di Surga sekarang.
Tapi tolong Bapa Pendeta .. Siapakah pria ini yang selalu bicara dengan putraku setiap hari di Gerejamu? Anda seharusnya mengetahui karena anda selalu di sana setiap hari, kecuali pada saat putraku meninggal.

Pendeta Agaton tiba-tiba merasa air matanya menetes dipipinya, dengan lutut gemetar dia berbisik,"Dia tidak berbicara kepada siapa-siapa... kecuali dengan Tuhan."

Christmas

Christmas is an annual holiday celebrated on December 25 that commemorates the birth of Jesus Christ The date of commemoration is not known to be Jesus' actual birthday, and may have initially been chosen to correspond with either a historical Roman festival or the winter solstice. Christmas is central to the Christmas and holiday season, and in Christianity marks the beginning of the larger season of Christmastide, which lasts twelve days.
Although traditionally a Christian holiday, Christmas is widely celebrated by many non-Christians, and some of its popular celebratory customs have pre-Christian or secular themes and origins. Popular modern customs of the holiday include gift-giving, Christmas carols, an exchange of greeting cards, church celebrations, a special meal, and the display of various decorations; including Christmas trees, lights, and garlands, mistletoe, nativity scenes, and holly. In addition, Father Christmas is a popular mythological figure in many countries, associated with the bringing of gifts for children.
Because gift-giving and many other aspects of the Christmas festival involve heightened economic activity among both Christians and non-Christians, the holiday has become a significant event and a key sales period for retailers and businesses. The economic impact of Christmas is a factor that has grown steadily over the past few centuries in many regions of the world.
Christmas tell us about light. This world is full of many sin. Jesus come to the world to save us from our sin. Because Jesus said the He is the Light. (John 8:12 Then spoke Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followed me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.) In the light have a life for each of us, that the light will give us the true life. Just Jesus that will give the light for each of us. Jesus is our salvation, He want die because all our sin. He love you and me, He always help us, He always bless us, and He always care of us.
Many people celebrate Christmas, same as me. I celebrate Christmas with my family, my family from my mom. All my family from my mom are coming to my hometown, I miss them all, specifically all my cousins. I have 4 sisters and 2 brothers. They always make me happy, actually because I don’t have any brother or sister. I at home always alone. I think this Christmas holiday, I will go to out of hometown, I don’t know where.

Paniki..

Delicious Food Made of Bat?

In Manado, there is unusual delicious food called Paniki that made of bat. Do you know about paniki? Did you ever eat paniki? Do you know about all the paniki’s body? Some of the paniki’s Body can cure
disease.

Paniki was made from bat. Paniki are mammals. Sometimes called “Flying rodents” or “Flying rats”. Bats are naturals animal. They eat fruit, nectar, pollen, insects, and blood. Bats divided in two, megabats and microbats. Megabats are bats that have big or large body. Microbats are bats that have small body. About 70 percent of bats are insectivores. Most of the rest are frugivores, with a few species being carnivorous. By emitting high-pitched sounds and listening to the echoes, also known as sonar, microbats locate prey and other nearby objects. Although the eyes of most microbat species are small and poorly developed, leading to poor visual acuity, it is incorrect to assume that they are nearly blind. Their senses of smell and hearing are excellent. The teeth of microbats resemble those of the insectivorans. They are very sharp in order to bite through the hardened armor of insects or the skin of fruit. The finger bones of bats are much more flexible than those of other mammals. Their long narrow are tongues can reach deep into the long cup shape of some flowers. The lungs of bats are typical mammalian lungs. Paniki was a traditional food in Manado. The hearts of paniki can cure asthma and cough. The top and delicious paniki‘s restaurant was at Inahasa (Tineleng) restaurant in Manado. The big paniki cost 45000,- until 50000,-. The small paniki cost 35000,- until 38000,-. What and how to make paniki? The ingredient to made a paniki are the paniki, red onions, white onions, red chili, green chili, salt and sugar. The instructions to made paniki are first we have to cut the body according to our appetite, then released the stomach, burn the fur, then the cut paniki put it at the pan and braised it. After 30 minutes, we leak the cut paniki. We have to prepare the cooking oil, and cook the ingredient. After that put the braised paniki in the pan with the cooked ingredients. After 10 minutes, put the cooked paniki at the plate and ready to eaten.

In the reality bats, it is so disgusted, but that paniki can be assumed with the luxuriant food from some people. Don’t see someone from just one side, because still many other side which not yet we look. For some people who like some food spicy, I think you will like this food, because the taste of the paniki is like chicken. Paniki will make you want to eat, eat and eat again that food. It's very yummy. Do you want to eat paniki? Just go to Manado and you can taste the real Paniki.

Hamster

Hamsters are popular pets, and for good reason. They are easy to care, usually bond well with their owners, and on top of everything else, the are very cute! Learn about choosing a pet hamster, pet hamster care, and providing all the necessities for your hamster in this handy hamster care guide.

1. Is a Pet Hamster Right for You?
Hamsters make good pets, but they are not the right choice for everyone. Learn about the pros and cons of hamster as pets before deciding if a hamster will be the right pet for you. You will also need to consider whether you want a larger Syrian hamster (always keep one to a cage), smaller dwarf hamsters (can be kept together), or even the less common but still lovely Chinese hamster.
2. Choose a Healthy Hamster
Avoid taking home a hamster that shows common signs and symptoms of illness, stress, or other problems. While some problems can be hidden, anybody can do a quick check for some common signs of illness or other problems. While there are no guarantees, avoiding hamsters with obvious signs of problems gives you have the best chance of taking home a healthy hamster. Since many diseases are contagious, it is safest to also avoid hamsters with cage mates that seem ill. As an added bonus, you can also get clues about a hamster's temperament while doing a quick health check. Check the eyes, mouth and ears, so if there’s some wrong bring it to the doctor.
3. Choose a Hamster Cage and Supplies
Having a cage all set up and waiting for your hamster is a good way to smooth your hamsters' transition to his or her new home. There are a huge variety of cage styles and sized out there, and which one to choose can be confusing. Also make sure you have cage accessories such as bedding, an exercise wheel, and a cozy sleep hut picked out. Use cage for the hamster or aquarium. Don’t forget to change the wooden.
4. Feeding Hamsters
There are also a lot of choices when it comes to hamster food, and not all are created equal. You main choice will be between a pelleted diet and a loose mix (see based) diet, and each has pros and cons. Your store-bought hamster diet can also be supplemented with a variety of healthy human foods and treat. Don’t forget the drink, usually in pet shop have the bottle for the hamster.
5. Handling Hamsters
Hamsters that haven't been handled may not be happy about being picked up and may try to bite you. It's important to remember hamsters that bite are not mean they are scared and defending themselves the best way they know how. It may take some patience (and possible some treats) to win your hamster's trust. Becareful hamster has sharp teeth. If you bitten you have to wash your hand.
6. Toys for Hamsters
Hamsters need to be able to chew, and they need to be able to exercise. Hamsters really were made to run, so a running wheel is a must. A hamster wheel must be large enough (many hamster wheels are more appropriate for dwarf hamsters than Syrian hamsters), safe (no wire wheels, please), and for your sanity, quiet. For chewing, a variety of wood structures and toys will help keep your hamster's teeth in shape. Hamsters also tend to like play tubes and tunnels and things they can climb on. Hamster needs sport.
7. Hamster Breeding
I don't advocate the casual owner breeding their hamsters -- that is best left to breeders who concentrate on breeding for health and temperament. However, there are times when accidents happen, including hamsters that weren't separated soon enough at the pet store and come home pregnant. Also, knowing about hamster reproduction can help prevent accidents in the first place.
For a new hamster born:
- Don't try to handle the babies at all for at least two weeks.
- Make sure to provide plenty of food and fresh water, but make feeding and watering as efficient and calm as possible.
- Keep in mind that the mom will be very protective as well so may act more aggressive than usual; this is natural and no cause for concern. Don’t look the baby if the mom is wake up. If you want to see the baby you have to see when the mom is sleeping.
- If for some rare reason you must move a baby, use a spoon so you do not get your scent on the baby. It is rarely necessary to move a baby though even if they are out of the nest; the mom will usually retrieve any stray pups and return them to the nest.

And this is my Hamster, I have take care a hamster, when I was 8 years old.. If I already lazy to take care of them usually I sell them to a pet shop. I can take care of 22 Hamster, but now I just have 2 hamster. Because all are died and I already sell them. I put the money at my bank. Thanks and GBu

Kungfu Panda

Kung Fu Panda is a 2008 American animated comedy film. It was directed by John Wayne Stevenson and Mark Osborne and produced by Melissa Cobb and stars Jack Black as Po. The film was produced by DreamWorks Animation's studio in Glendale, California and distributed by Paramount Pictures. The film stars the voice of Jack Black as the panda, Po, along with the voices of Dustin Hoffman, Angelina Jolie, Ian McShane, Lucy Liu, Seth Rogen, David Cross, Randall Duk Kim, James Hong and Jackie Chan. Set in ancient China, the plot revolves around a bumbling panda who aspires to be a kung fu master. After a much-feared ex-disciple is prophesied to escape from prison, Po is foretold to be the Dragon Warrior by the head of the temple, much to his shock and surprise, as well as the chagrin of the resident kung fu warriors.

One day, Master Oogway has a premonition that Shifu's former pupil and foster son, the brutal and ruthless snow leopard Tai Lung, will escape from prison and return to the Valley. Shifu decides to hold a martial arts tournament so that Oogway may identify the legendary Dragon Warrior – the one master worthy to receive the Dragon Scroll, which is said to hold the secret to limitless power. Tai Lung had been denied the Scroll years earlier, causing him to decimate the Valley in retaliation and resulting in his imprisonment.
Po is a young giant panda and kung fu fanatic who works in his goose father's noodle restaurant. Upon hearing of the tournament, Po tries to attend as a spectator, but his father directs him to take a push cart and sell noodles instead. By the time Po arrives, the gates are closed and the tournament has already started. Desperate to see the tournament, Po straps himself to a set of fireworks; he rockets into the sky and crashes into the middle of the arena just as Master Oogway is about to select the new Dragon Warrior. To the surprise of all, Master Oogway indicates that Po is the Dragon Warrior.
Unwilling to believe that a big fat clumsy panda can be the Dragon Warrior, Shifu attempts to berate and humiliate Po into quitting. He subjects Po to a grueling series of challenges and sparring matches against the Furious Five, culminating in a battle between Po and Shifu that ends with Po being thrown from the Jade Palace. Though the Furious Five despise him as an unqualified upstart, Po receives counseling from Master Oogway and refuses to quit.
In time, he endears himself to the Five with his impressive tenacity, culinary skill, and good humor, though he is still unable to grasp the basics of kung fu.
Meanwhile, as Master Oogway had foreseen, Tai Lung escapes from his prison and heads for the Valley. Sensing that his death is imminent, Master Oogway extracts a promise from Shifu that he will train Po and then disappears, ascending to heaven in a swirl of flower petals.
Upon hearing that Tai Lung is coming, Po panics and tries to flee the Temple. Shifu refuses to let him go, insisting that he can change Po into the Dragon Warrior, but Po has lost all confidence and Shifu can not explain how he will turn Po into the Dragon Warrior. Hiding nearby and seeing this argument, Tigress leads the rest of the Furious Five to stop Tai Lung themselves. The next morning, Shifu discovers that Po displays impressive agility when he is motivated by food; using the promise of food as a reward, Shifu trains Po into a skilled warrior.
The Five confront Tai Lung over a long rope bridge, but he easily defeats them and sends them back to the Valley immobilized, carried by Crane, to inspire fear.
Feeling that Po is ready to fight, Shifu gives him the Dragon Scroll, which he opens to reveal nothing but a blank, reflective surface. Shifu, despairing, orders Po and the Five to evacuate the valley while he prepares to delay Tai Lung for as long as he can. During the evacuation, Po finds his father who, in an attempt to console him, reveals that the long-withheld secret ingredient of his famous "secret ingredient soup" is nothing - except the belief that the soup is special. Po realizes this idea is the point of the Dragon Scroll and returns to face Tai Lung.
At the Temple, Tai Lung confronts Shifu and demands the Scroll; when Shifu refuses, Tai Lung attacks him. In a furious battle, Tai Lung overpowers and nearly kills Shifu before an exhausted Po arrives. Tai Lung can hardly believe that the Dragon Warrior is a "big, fat panda", but as Tai Lung battles Po to take the Scroll, Po uses a combination of his natural clumsiness, his body mass, and Shifu's training to prove himself an unexpected equal.
At one stage of the fight, Tai Lung gains the upper hand and opens the Scroll, but cannot comprehend its symbolic value. Po explains that "there is no secret ingredient" other than the warrior's belief in himself, but Tai Lung fails to understand and attacks again. With the combination of his new revelation and his own natural resilience, Po counter-attacks with devastating effectiveness and finally defeats Tai Lung, destroying him with the secret "Wuxi Finger Hold".
The deeply impressed Furious Five accept Po as a kung fu master and their superior. Po returns to Shifu and finds him exhausted but alive, and finally at peace now that Tai Lung has been defeated and peace restored to the Valley.
This Film is very funny, I can get some moral that the power of the big power that we have just at our self, we have to be trust in with our self and don’t forget to trust God to. If we need the big power, we have to pray first and then we have to be brave. That’s all that I can say from this movie.

Violin

The violin is a bowed string instrument with four strings usually tuned in perfect fifths. It is the smallest and highest-pitched member of the violin family of string instruments, which also includes the viola and cello.

Violin’s History
The earliest stringed instruments were mostly plucked (e.g. the Greek lyre). Bowed instruments may have originated in the equestrian cultures of Central Asia, an example being the Kobyz or kyl-kobyz is an ancient Kazakh string instrument or Mongolian instrument Morin huur
It is believed that these instruments eventually spread to China, India, the Byzantine Empire and the Middle East, where they developed into instruments such as the erhu in China, the rebab in the Middle East, the bowed Byzantine lyra and the esraj in India. The violin in its present form emerged in early 16th-Century Northern Italy, where the port towns of Venice and Genoa maintained extensive ties to central Asia through the trade routes of the silk road.
The modern European violin evolved from various bowed stringed instruments which were brought from the Middle East and the Byzantine Empire. Most likely the first makers of violins borrowed from three types of current instruments: the rebec, in use since the 10th century (itself derived from the Byzantine lyra and the Arabic rebab), the Renaissance fiddle, and the lira da braccio (derived from the Byzantine lira). One of the earliest explicit descriptions of the instrument, including its tuning, was in the Epitome musical by Jambe de Fer, published in Lyon in 1556. By this time, the violin had already begun to spread throughout Europe.
The oldest documented violin to have four strings, like the modern violin, is supposed to have been constructed in 1555 by Andrea Amati, but the date is very doubtful. (Other violins, documented significantly earlier, only had three strings and were called "violetta".) The violin immediately became very popular, both among street musicians and the nobility, illustrated by the fact that the French king Charles IX ordered Amati to construct 24 violins for him in 1560. The oldest surviving violin, dated inside, is from this set, and is known as the "Charles IX," made in Cremona c. 1560. The finest Renaissance carved and decorated violin in the world is the Gasparo da Salò (1574 c.) owned by Ferdinand II, Archduke of Austria and later, from 1841, by the Norwegian virtuoso Ole Bull, who used it for forty years and thousands of concerts, for his very powerful and beautiful tone, similar to those of a Guarneri. It is now in the Vestlandske Kustindustrimuseum in Bergen (Norway). "The Messiah" or "Le Messie" (also known as the "Salabue") made by Antonio Stradivari in 1716 remains pristine, never having been used. It is now located in the Ashmolean Museum of Oxford.
Significant changes occurred in the construction of the violin in the 18th century, particularly in the length and angle of the neck, as well as a heavier bass bar. The majority of old instruments have undergone these modifications, and hence are in a significantly different state than when they left the hands of their makers, doubtless with differences in sound and response. But these instruments in their present condition set the standard for perfection in violin craftsmanship and sound, and violin makers all over the world try to come as close to this ideal as possible.
To this day, instruments from the "Golden Age" of violin making, especially those made by Stradivari and Guarneri del Gesù, are the most sought-after instruments by both collectors and performers. The current record amount paid for a Stradivari violin was $3,544,000.00 at an auction on May 16, 2006. All Stradivarius violins have unique names; the most expensive Stradivari violin is known as the "Hammer" ,referring to the first owner named Christian Hammer. It was made in 1707.
Electric violins
Electric violin is a violin equipped with an electric signal output of its sound, and is generally considered to be a specially constructed instrument which can either be:
an electro-acoustic violin capable of producing both acoustic sound and electric signal
an electric violin capable of producing only electric signal
