“Aku untuk kamu, kamu untuk aku
Namun semua apa mungkin, iman kita yang berbeda
Tuhan memang satu, kita yang tak sama
Haruskah aku lantas pergi, mesti cinta tak kan bisa pergi”
Cuplikan lagu Peri Cintaku-nya Marcell lagi saya dengerin terus dan terus.
Perbedaan biasanya membuat hidup lebih berwarna. Membuat kita semakin kaya. Tapi yang ini, perbedaan yang membawa kesedihan. Jujur, lagu ini selalu mampu bikin saya meneteskan air mata.
Bagaimana dengan kamu? What song(s) drains your tears?
Giving is such a wonderful thing. But to know that your gift is received with a thankful heart is such a heavenly feeling. It makes all the giving a worthwhile act.
These past couple of days is full of giving. Christmas gifts. Being me, with so much activities prior to Christmas night, I did my Christmas shopping at the very very last minute. Took me 6 hours to finally got all the gifts wrapped up and ready to be put under the Christmas tree – most of that time was spent going around and around trying to find just the perfect gift for every single person in the family.
Exhausted, I know. But when I saw the lights twinkle in their eyes when they open the presents, when I heard them shout in excitement upon seeing what was inside the boxes, I couldn’t help but smile in satisfaction and the tiredness gone. Although everyone agreed with what I got them, but all in all I was happy. Most of my gifts hit their targets like a bullseye.
Made me think, what must God be feeling when He sees that not all of us accepts the Son He sent to this world? After all, that’s the true gift of Christmas. Shouldn’t we also accept Him with the utmost excitement?
i think i can just float and walk on air. my son has gotten some of his finals back already. and his grades are very good. one little flaw in mandarin… but hey, i guess it’s not enough to drag me back down from my sky.
thank you, abang. thank you for being the best son in the whole world. thank you for doing very very well in school. thank you for understanding that i cannot be like other mommies who can be home a lot of times to help you study. thank you for loving me always. i love you forever.
for the bright sun that was shining today
i am thankful LORD
for the rain that poured tonight
GOD i am grateful
for the busy day that was bestowed on me
i am so blessed
for the people who love me
i will always treasure
for the hours, the seconds, the moments
for my feelings, my thoughts and my actions
and most of all
LORD i thank You for breathing into me…
our lives is the mystery of the Almighty. to know our time is His prerogative alone.
my father just recovered from his second stroke. although not yet back to his normal self, the progress is surely taking the highway. his recovery is speedy as well as satisfactory. i should be thankful. [read on]
