This Christmas is different from the past ones, more than just the decorations... It's about being a mother... I could understand better how much a sacrifice it was for God to send His only begotten Son. Sending is not the matter, but for the Son to go through all the torture on the way to the Cross and at the Cross.. is something no parent will ever want or accept to see their child go through.

Having Zara open my eyes to understand that we are God's adopted people. We were not the chosen tribe and was never given a place in the house, till Jesus paid the price to bring us Home.

Someone once commented to me, that no one will love a child whose not their own as much as their own. I think I must say that I totally disagree with it and I believe many mummies who are like me will say the same. Whether I have another child, it's up to God and His timing.. but with or without, Zara is still my very loved daughter. Nothing is going to change that fact, since the day she came into this family. I believe the same goes for us, as we enter into God's house. If you cannot accept that a mother can love their adopted child as her own, then you will never be able to accept the truth that God loves us as His own.

Decorations done by: ME!

I'm so constantly reminded of God's love for us, the price Jesus paid on the Cross.. and how much God loves Zara, to give her a future and a hope.. having all these planned for her, that she may be in His house, even before she is born.. and how much God loves us, to bring her into our lives.

Stay in Barcelona (Part 4) Park Güell by Antoni Gaudi

This whole park is designed by the same designer, Antoni Gaudi.

Where he devoted around 45 years of his life, staying in this park to build and design this park

Photographer: ME!

If you noticed, there are some elements in Gaudi's design that is like his trademark.

The CROSS... His religion as a Catholic.

The outer pillars are always leaning inwards to increase stability of the structure, just like how we are in a standing position with our feet apart.

A very beautiful park~

So sad that it was raining... If not i would love to stay and sit around the park longer.

Just to absorb it's beauty and every detail of the art and the architectures!

A place worth visiting if you are considering where to go in Barcelona =)

Friend or foe

This has always been a question in my mind. I'm not sure if I am over thinking or does anyone thinks about this as much as I do. I think I review this all the time especially with all the recent happenings. But still I guess some things never change and some things do change over time.

There's a saying in the Chinese, that "friends keep you close, but enemies keep you closer".

Have you ever felt like you are not sure whether someone is a friend or a foe?

Of course this don't happen to me all the time but a few times/person I guess. Friends who are so close but yet they give you a vibe that is strange, sending a shiver down your spine and leave you wondering... I always believe in giving people a 2nd chance or the benefit of doubt, believing that over time things will change!

There are friendships that I will say that I am willing to protect with my life, because I believe that friendship has got eternal value. But I guess if Jesus had judas and He still loved him till the cross, I need to accept the fact that there will always be people who are close to you for a different motive and may even deliver you to the cross. 

It takes more than just love to lay down your life for those who persecute you and sent you to the cross. It takes the perfect love of God, agape.

Attos - My 'Angel' bag

Many of you read my post on ATTOS earlier and found out a bit about this 'Angel' bag. Now it has arrived! Actually a few weeks back but have been really busy, so here it goes!

A blue full leathered, beautifully crafted bag. The side of the bag comes with 2 flaps that symbolises the wing of an angel.

It comes with the ATTOS logo on the metal piece of the opening and on the leather itself, on the inside of the bag. The zipper also have the words "love, joy and peace" engraved on it.

Accompanied with a lovely long stripe.
