Bananas

Bananas are very cool! They go from green to nice shiny yellow to spotted soft yellow. The transformation process is very fascinating and the sweet thing is that it taste differently from stage to stage but still edible and always a good treat! 


I think bananas age with grace, the older the more dotted, the more dotted the sweeter. I hope I will age like a banana! 


And when we do a fruit salad at home we do not add the banana except just before serving the cup because if we open it too early it becomes black and ruined. I think I must shift this lesson to other things in my life too!

Eyelashes

I often wondered how God thought of eyelashes! But then I remember that He thinks of all pretty things. 
They are beautiful but no one would site them if they are naming body organs or mention they had an issue with them like head or stomach or even fingers. 
In fact very much unnoticeable and yet very noticeable when it comes to aesthetic, their role might not be so brilliant as my heart or my ears, but I could not think my face without them!
Oh and sometimes, just when it is crucial to their existence, they decide to fall in my eye and prove their power! You could not miss that!

God is not Pheonician

Pheonicians were renowned traders and merchants. They always ended up winning the deals: getting the best of all situations.
God took my worst at the highest price that could ever be paid and all my goods are already a gift from Him! I wonder if He could ever be a member of the High Pheonician Council of Merchants!
But now my worth  is His worth and my price is His Blood, dare I make a losing trade and waste His generous offer!!

In Joy

I was wondering if like when we say I am in pain we can say I am in joy. If this is not proper English I think it deserve to be! 
Today everything is in Joy, all things are in the most deep, most meaningful, most joyous Joy! Except the one (and all those who are under his dominion!) who convinced himself that he could conquer the Giver of Joy, the Creator of all right and beautiful!

Today I decided to wake up again! To wake up and decalre that Morning is full and there is no more room for sleep!





O Earth, O Earth, return!
Arise from out the dewy grass!
Night is worn,
And the morn
Rises from the slumberous mass.
From the Introduction of  "Songs of Experience" by William Blake

Posture

I have the tendency to walk with my shoulders down. I thought it was physical because I felt bad being taller than the other girls around me but that reason did not really convince me deep down... I think it has something to do with the way I think about myself and the silly tricks my mind play on me, things like I need to feel bad about myself and all that... But God refuses to leave any area be it silly or not without bestowing grace and insight, yes even shoulders. So I was wondering about my posture and I remembered a verse that really touched my heart:


Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you.
Isaiah 60:1 (ESV)

So I decided, I will rise and I will lift my head and my shoulders and walk victorious, in my physical and spiritual walk for the glory of the Lord has risen on me indeed!

My Colleague

My colleague, is so beautiful (like the picture of the purple flowers)! She has a heart full of compassion! Kindness beyond imagination! 
I always thought I am very blessed beyond what I deserve but today this thought was so before me, so concrete because of her!


Sometimes I start to treat her like she is my age because she is so humble but it hit me everytime I realise she is more than double my age!

Today, in fact, was one of these day where anything she does hit my nerves because or I would do it differently or I was so overwhelmed with work that one more word will seem like a text, and logically after such a day I would never come to love her more but it happened! I loved everything about her today! I wondered why and I honestly found no reasonable answer. I just felt I need to stop and thank God for how much to the details He takes care of me!

Soap Bubbles

I love soap bubbles! They have mini-rainbows in them! They are fun and make almost all people smile, they bring joy! Cats a too are fascinated by these and try to follow it!They are nicely scented, they can do shapes, they can fill useless space! Simply they are so cool!


But their mystery is in their delicacy! Attachment harm it and will be an obstacle for it to fly high and to be held it needs great gentleness and  will only land if the surface is safe. Isn't it too much like humans?!
