Merry Christmas

Beautiful People, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Hope you had a blessed Christmas. 2017 is fleeting. I was reminded it is a jubilee year.

How did 2017 treating you? Great, amazing year or challenging year? For many it maybe the case. Happy for you.

I thought 2015 & 2016 was challenging enough! 2017 takes the cake. 2017 is a year I want to forget, been to hell and back. The fact that I’m still standing and smiling doesn’t mean everything is rosy. It means I’m a good fighter, a warrior that never give up. I still believe we can end the year with a high note. Without doubt, challenges make us more robust and relentless. Is not cliches that what did not kill you, make you stronger. Keep smiling tell the enemy to go to hell where he belongs. “When you do the right thing when it’s hard, you’re going to reap blessings, favor, increase, and not just eternal life, but abundant life here on this earth.” – Joel Osteen

So thankful for the amazing people in my life that help me negotiate this season. Grateful that I’m still breathing and kicking the enemy’s butt!

Yay, I receive some miracles and good news on the Eve of Christmas Eve! Can’t wait for more miracles and more good news keep the ball rolling and ushering us to the bright New Year!

Below is My Christmas Gift to you, my Dearest Followers & Readers!

Treasure Today

Good Day, Beautiful People.

My mate shared this with me:

SOME DAY & ONE DAY

 _A friend of mine opened his wife’s wardrobe and picked up a silk paper wrapped package._

“This,” he said, “isn’t any ordinary package.”_

_He unwrapped the box and stared at both the silk paper and the box and silk satin dresses inside._

_”She got this the first time we went to New York , 8 or 9 years ago. She has never put it on , was saving it for a special occasion. Well, I guess this is it.”_He got near the bed and placed the gift box next to the other clothing he was taking to the funeral house, his wife had just died.__He turned to me and said, “never save something for a ‘special occasion’. Every day in your life is a *’Special occasion'”*_

_I still think those words changed my life.__Now I read more and clean less.__I sit on the porch without worrying about anything.__I spend more time with my family, and less at work._*_I understood that life should be a source of experience to be lived up to, not survived through._*

_I no longer keep anything._

_I use crystal glasses every day.__I’ll wear new clothes to go to the supermarket, if I feel like it._*_I don’t save my special perfume for special occasions, I use it whenever I want to._*_The words *’Someday….’ and ‘ One Day…’*are fading away from my dictionary.__If it’s worth seeing, listening or doing, I want to see, listen or do it now._

_I don’t know what my friend’s wife would have done if she knew she wouldn’t be there the next morning, this nobody can tell.__*Each day, each hour, each minute, is special.*_

_Live for today, for tomorrow is promised to no-one.__If you’re too busy to send this out to other people and you say to yourself that you will send it ‘LATER remember that LATER might never come…

You may or may not read this message before. If you did, may it serve as a kind reminder.

Life is too short for you not to treasure everyday. Be presence wherever you are. If we strife, we will never be happy, joyful and content. Look at what you have and been given, enjoy before it is all gone or too late.

Good Day, Beautiful People! 

22nd of April was Earth day. I’m just thankful that the earth is a beautiful and wonderful place that God has created. Yes, I’m not in denial, I’m fully aware the fact that some part of world is sick, in turmoil and in the dark place. 

For this point in time, I just want us to focus and gaze at the stunning photos via Pinterest by some amazing photographers. Just get lost in it, have a selah moment, forget all your troubles and enjoy the magnificent masterpiece earth that the Creator is showing off. Imagine what He can do with your life if you are willing. After all He created the earth out of nothing, simply by speaking it into being.

Good Day, Beautiful People!
Nothing is permanent in this world. The only constant things are God’s Love and changes.
Those of us who travel on this life journey for awhile bound to experience good and bad seasons. Some days in life seem more challenging than other days. You just need to take it as it comes. One day at a time. Even your feeling right now is temporary. So don’t let your feeling run your life. Enjoy the the good with the bad. Be thankful for the good times and challenging times. We learn valuable lesson during challenging time. We can choose to curl up like a ball and hide or choose to put on your spiritual armor, pick up your spiritual weapon and fight. Let your village of people who love you know to give you the support you need.
Adopt a good attitude, positive thinking and good opinion of God. Most brave people I encounter overcome challenging storms through this way has amazing great outcome. You can experience joy right here in the midst of real and even raw life.

Joy is neither the absence of pain,
nor the presence of denial.
It is discovered when you and I
Allows our minds and spirits to be
Saturated with the truth that
God is near us,
With the miracle that He walks beside us. – Alicia Britt Chole

If you have to fight the battle, fight courageously.
If you have to walk through it, walk boldly.
If you have to stand on guard, stand equipped.
If you have to sit and watch, sit patiently.
If you have to rest at a standstill, rest peacefully.
-Angela S Chua

Below is another touching poem REST from my creative mate, Melinda Fletcher.
My soul will rest in You alone
My soul will rest in You alone
In the shadow of your wings
It’s there you will hear me sing
My soul will rest in You alone

My heart will trust in you alone
My heart will trust in you alone
Nothing will I fear
as long as you are near
My God I will trust in you alone

My hope is in Your word alone
My hope is in Your word alone
My hiding place and shield
In your presence where I’m healed
My hope is in Your word alone

You Said – Song/Poem [MF]

20140515-234923.jpg
Good Day, Beautiful People!
Without fail, I am giving you another taste of my gifted friend, Melinda Fletcher’s wonderful creation. Did I forget to mention previously, this girl can sing too. Imagine we all have a gathering, enjoying a pleasant conversation around the table, on spur of moment, she will burst out a divine song that she wrote. This is one of them. You cannot request for it but you have to wait for it to happen. I wish I was fast enough to video it each time. Most time, I was too captivated by the songs and the singing. Well, I hope one day she will have it all recorded on a delightful CD and compile into a marvelous book. Nevertheless, you get to enjoy this moving poem. 

YOU SAID

You said you are my Saviour

You came to rescue me

And all I have to do is love you

To live eternally

 

You said you were my healer

You took all my disease

And all I have to do is love you

And choose to believe 

  

You said you are my helper

You said you’d make a way

That all I have to do is love you

And not to be afraid

You said you are provider

You said you’d meet my needs

That all I have to do is love you

And sit at your feet

You said you were my teacher

You said you’d guide me through

That all I have to do is love you

And love you, Yes I do

And love you, Yes I do.

The Fruit Tree [MF]

Good Day, Beautiful People!
Sharing this beautiful Song/Poem by my talented mate, Melinda Fletcher.

THE FRUIT TREE

From the outside to the inside 

The world is looking in

But from the inside to the outside 

God is working from within 

 

And when it seems like nothing’s happening 

Just think about the tree 

It is planted in the soil 

Where its growing from a seed 

 

With some sunlight and some water 

The tree begins to grow 

And before long with no effort 

the fruit begins to show 

 

From the outside to the inside 

The world is looking in

And from the fruit that’s on the outside

They will see Jesus within

Friendship

Friendship
Good Day, Beautiful People!
Your truest Friends are the one who will stand by you in your darkest moments because they’re willing to brave the shadows with you. And in your greatest moments because they’re not afraid to let you shine. – Nicole Yatsonsky

Cultivate real friendship is important to our journey in life. They make your life more crazy, fun, interesting, refreshing… like having your own cheerleaders when you’re facing challenges. Friends enrich your life journey.

Today, one of my beautiful friends surprise me with a bouquet of sweet roses and took me to a yummy Thai Restaurant near my workplace for a delish Thai cuisine.

So thankful for friends that are real & looking out for you. So blessed.
