Meeting Old Friends

Oh, the feeling of talking and eating and laughing, teasing, and so many more emotions involved. 4 friends meetimg up thanks to the initiation of one. Left the husbands, children and house and spend 5 hours having a simple lunch, and just spending time together.

Amongst the things we did was catch up on our children's activities which includes, in-laws to be, dependency, love, maturity, sharing ideas and just being a mum.

We talked about investments and taking care of our selves on retirement. The former merely includes, schemes we try to put ourselves in, attempts to salvage against inflation, going into projects with a little bit of greed thrown in and finally just our dreams as we goes on into the next phase of of life.

Without fail, our deeper thoughts like our beliefs based on our religious background and diversification of importance and our similar thoughts too.

The beauty of the friendship is the differences we have but the capability to accept and give our views without being overbearing or hurting.

Detachment

Going to practice this for as long as I could.

One of those times when you just feel down and you don't even know why. Is it her leaving, his going, or justthe hormones?

Something to share

Something fr Our Daily Bread that strikes me


-----We all face giants in our lives—worry, doubt, fear, sin, and guilt. But with limited and unlikely resources and unswerving confidence in our all-powerful God, we too can triumph over them.

Come, Lord, and give me courage—
Thy conquering Spirit give;
Make me an overcomer
In power within me live. —Anon.


God gives us courage to challenge our giants.------------

What would I say..............

In the stillness of the night, all quiet, people tend to think a lot. I do. I talk a lot with myself, with God and then sometimes just thoughts. You wonder if those thoughts will ever reach out to anywhere, any place, anyone. Being an introvert and basically a quiet person, I don't 'pull' up anyone to listen to my thoughts either. Maybe that is why when Internet has blogs, it appeal to me a lot.

Thus the title of this blog pops up ever so often. Tonight I decided to list down the first of a series of things I would say or do (as i feel now) meaning I may change as time goes by.

#if my children ask me who will be a good spouse for them......
Finding your soul mate is not easy but when you do, you will know. Even when you do find him or her, it is not 'happily ever after'. Therefore it is important that you must love each other to place the other more important than yourself. My friends are so surprise that I don't place importance on race and background as a choice. But I do say that in that case, it will bring about more to overcome before achieving 'loving each other' status.

#when my children and their spouse want to set up home on their own.......
I do believe that as you marry, it is time to leave your parents and be one with your spouse. It is also time for the parents to let go of the children(from both sides). If we have taught our children well, we should know that they will love us enough to come back to us. In this case, it will mean, to see to us and to take care of us as needed. So do go with my blessings

#when my children becomes parents........
A child is a gift of God.Whatever the circumstances, the child is entitles to the best love and care you can provide.No two way about it. To have a child is solely the parents decision and remember the child has no part in the discussion thus the child's entitlement

#if I am in a coma and is not likely to wake up after a year..........
please let me go.Being a living dead is one of the saddest thing to me. It pains the one in bed and it pains those who love me ever more.I have no regrets in life and I have fulfilled my role.

The situations are countless and there is no end to this blog so it only could be continued and never end......................

Mother's day

A day for children to show appreciation and shower love on their mums.

Me ...... I am well blessed in that sense. My 3 precious gives me more than I expect with all their hugs, love and kisses at every occasion they can. What else can I ask for in this respect? I thank God for these 3 blessings. They are proof enough to me that He truly love and bless me.

Me ......... mother's day is a reminder of all the above and a stronger commitment to love them more.I love my 3 precious like there is no tomorrow.Hubby and children always do not allow me to exert myself to cook and iron for them. But to me I am fighting to cook and iron as much as I could for them. To me, I treasure every moment and day I have with them and so I want to do as much as I can for them.I am so scared of the day when I can't do all these for them.

I may be your champion mum but you all are my 3 trophies. I love you Adrian, Edmund and Audrey. I Thank God for the chance to be your mum.

Questions

When you open the bible and get psalm 23 twice in a row, what does it mean? Verse 4? Is He saying it is time for goodbye?

Some one ask what is this thing they name 'calling'?

Next, when the lamb hears a voice, is it His voice? Is she hearing right especially when the frame of mind itself is in question?
