Today is Qing Ming Jie (Tomb Sweeping Holiday) in my part of the world. I woke up to an interesting newspaper article this morning, and I'd like to share parts of it with you. Qing Ming Jie is celebrated by our people group as a way to remember their dead ancestors by visiting their graves and burial grounds. It is tradition for the living to clean the grave of their ancestors as well as to offer worldly gifts to the dead in the form of paper "replicas" that are sent to the other side by way of burning. The latest and hottest paper "replicas" come in the shape of IPhones and IPads. For about $1 USD, family members can purchase a paper "replica" of an IPad 2 with an 888 gigabyte capacity. (888 is a lucky number in our area.) The paper IPhones and IPads come complete with USB cables, so the dead can sync their data with their paper "replica" computers. Unfortunately, most stores have sold out of the paper IPad 2 "replicas" and can only offer their customers the IPad 1 models. Some customers, however, will not be giving their dead relatives technological gadgets because they are afraid the older generation of dead relatives will not know how to use them. So, they will only be giving other paper "replicas" of necessities like shirt and shoes.
Because Qing Ming Jie is a national holiday, all banks, schools, offices, etc. were closed on April 4 and 5. So, we decided to celebrate the LIVING ONE.
We invited 45 national brothers and sisters to our home for Mexican food and an Egg-dying party.
We also spent some time teaching them how to use the upcoming Easter holiday to share the GOOD NEWS of the LIVING ONE with the living: distributing dvds, tracts, BOOKS; inviting friends, relatives, and co-workers to their homes for Egg-dying parties; sharing in offices, schools, clubhouses the true meaning of Easter; using emails, facebook, instant messages to share the GOOD NEWS, etc.
It is our desire that no one will enter eternity without a personal relationship with the LIVING ONE.
Please remember the 1.6 billion in our people group!
