因为,在珍惜那过程中,我们已得到那完美的结果了。

刚刚看完“被偷走的五年”,真的很伤感。
突然也领悟到,虽然那分爱情没有好结果,
但它的美,它的那份真爱,是不可取代的。
人生嘛,是不可能常如我们所愿。
但只须学习珍惜,那是否有结果都已不重要了。
因为,在珍惜那过程中,我们已得到那完美的结果了。 


God Never Blinks: Lesson 1

For the next few posts, I'm going to write about my own understanding on the lessons that were taught in the book entitled "God Never Blinks". Of course, they are going to be my own personal thoughts and be linked to my own life experiences. So if you are keen, take a read and I hope to inspire you with it =)

Lesson 1: Life is good
The take home message was "get to". Many of us complains about the need to go to work, the need to finish up an assignment, the need to cook for family, the need to serve in church. However, if we were to take a step back and look at our life, we will realize that actually we were very much blessed in life.

We get to go to work while others struggle to find one for months or even years some times,
we get to study and work on an assignment while some may not even have the chance to receive education,
we get to cook a meal for our family while some orphans have none to dine with (or some of their loved ones has passed on and leaving only regrets for not spending enough time together),
and we get to serve in church while others may be persecuted for practicing their religion.

Now tell me aren't you blessed? =)

Instead of approaching each day with a "need to" attitude, how about turning it around and tell yourself, you get to do all those things.

2nd Attempt on Clothing for toys.

My mom is away in New Zealand at the moment, feeling bored at home. I took out some of the old toys that me and my brother used to play with. They were all worn out, so I decided to mend it and put on some new clothes on them. I started with Wendy the bear. 

Wendy is a lot easier to start with because she was the last one to be added into the family, hence the damage on her was minimal. Haha, we are pretty rough when it comes to toys, you will see why later. So using the left over ribbons and a yellow top that I no longer wear, I made a small piece of clothing on her. 


The ribbon & yellow top

  


Next, I worked on Nyek Nyek Bear. Now this one, this one had served us the longest. So the damage is severe as compare to Wendy the Bear. He has openings all over his body, so a lot of time was taken to seal them back. To top it off, the material of this teddy is wearing out. So if I were to pull it slightly harder, I might tore it apart. 

I haven figure out the right clothing on this one yet, but since mending it has taken me some time, I will just leave it at its original state for now. 



There is only so much I can do for the eyes...  

Lastly, is Coco the Bear. I left this the to the last, because I need to find the right cloth to the body. As shown in the picture, we tried to sew the broken part back, but it was really badly done. So this time, I decided to put on some new cloth for him.


I also added a new scarf for him, nice? =D

Don't deny me

”don't deny me my child ” was the word that I've been hearing from God lately. When I'm lying on the bed, contemplating if I should do my Bible study or go to sleep. These words came and made me take up the Bible willingly.

Is it for you too?
