Painted Sky

At sunset, rich, lovely hues decorate the sky. On a clear, fine day, an enticing show of fascinating colors is revealed just before the darkness sets in.  

Let's yearn for our lives to end this way. A wonderful play of hues and shapes, of swirls and pigments, of fulfilled dreams, love, and happiness should cap our twilight years. 

Let not the rain and sorrows of life becloud the passage of our days.  

A serene sunset, abounding in colors, is best remembered and cherished.  It also gives hope and inspiration to those we shall leave behind.

God Whispers

I checked my email early this morning and, amongst all the messages in my inbox, decided to open the message from God Whispers Club first.  Here's what it says:


         "Dear my beloved child,


          I never promised that there would never be trials in your life. 
         But I promised that I would give you peace. Not simply a feeling of peace. 
         But the real peace found in my love for you.

         Your refuge,  
         GOD
 
        P.S. If your eyes keep looking at external circumstances, 
        you'll always be insecure. Fix your eyes on my commitment for you. 
       Only then will you have peace." 


It was a very apt message, indeed.  I'm afraid I was veering towards Worry-Wart Avenue again (definitely not good!)  The message served as a warning sign.


So I decided to start the day with great hopes and the renewed belief that if God brings me to it, He'll see me through it.  My day turned out absolutely fabulous!  Great unexpected news, I received throughout the day.  


Well, a new day awaits tomorrow! I'm sure it will also be full of small miracles! 

Miracles

Miracles do happen.  
Have faith that they will come. 

Like lovely, sweet flowers, they may take a little time. 

Pray and conjure positive thoughts.
Do good and work hard towards your goals.
At the opportune time, they are certain to bloom. 

  

An Unanswered Prayer

I was fervently praying for this certain intention.  It was not answered.  I was downtrodden of course.  Now, connecting the dots backwards, I must say that one particular unaswered prayer paved the way for three wonderful blessings. 


As the saying goes, "Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers."  


Indeed, the Lord knows what HE's doing.  HE certainly knows what is best for us!  

Best Friend

"When it hurts to look back, and you're scared to look ahead, 

you can look beside you and your best friend will be there. "

Keep Your Head Up

Even when you feel that you are carrying the entire world on you back, just keep the faith, find your strength, keep moving, and keep your head up high...
