Beautiful...

A scene you will probably never get to see, someone sent this across to me and I thought I should share it with every one. The Chinese have a saying: "When someone shares with you something of value, you have an obligation to share it with others." and so I have. This is the sunset at the North Pole with the moon at its closest point. You also see the sun below the moon. An amazing photo .

A year that was......

2008 a big year in my life....if any one asked me how was your year I wasn't sure until few days back as to what i should answer, should I say it was a bad year coz terrible things happened or good coz i learnt volumes from what happened to me, now am sure it was good indeed.

I could have skipped this post as i haven't touched my blog this entire year but I want to remember this year for many many reasons and hence this post.....

2008 This is the year in which i have seen

• Hatred
• Deceit
• Jealousy
• Hypocrisy
• Contempt
• Disappointment
• Mockery
• Challenge
• Loss
  
• Failure
• Success
  

Am in loss of words, too much to take in one year,I have seen these things separately several times but this year was unusual, all these things were bundled up and thrown right on my face, i was torn, shattered,disappointed, hurt more than words could say in the beginning.....as i look back I just wonder how I had the courage to face so many things , I have seen my own people backstabbing me this year and i still don't know the reason why? when all i have given them was love and affection.....i have been hurt repeatedly with lies and misleading words , i have been treated with so much contempt but I held on thinking that they would change some day....I have seen all my dreams fall and shatter right before me (none of my below mentioned dreams are ever gonna come true) that was like a major disappointment then , but now it doesn't make a difference....I have lost my best of friends this year, without whom i wondered if i could ever get through even a single day, now I have forgotten their very existence(if they can go thru without me so can I), people whom i trusted turned against me and plotted against me, it was difficult when i got to know the truth, i refused to believe but now when it is all clear I don't trust anyone any longer, I just prayed about all this, it couldn't have happened without God's will, if it was his will for me to go thru that suffering am sure he has a good purpose for doing so.He was and is teaching me so many things in his own way, and I am learning different lessons of life.

I asked God for strength and God gave me difficulties to make me strong
I asked God for wisdom and God gave me problems to solve
I asked God for prosperity and God gave me brawn and brain to work
I asked God for courage and God gave me dangers to overcome
I asked God for love and God gave me troubled people to help
I asked God for favours and God gave me opportunities

I received Nothing I wanted,but Everything I needed.

At the end of the day or should i say end of the year I am stronger than what i was at the beginning.
This year was typically like a walk in the valley of thorns and to see whats beyond the valley I'll have to wait for some more time and I got out of the thorny valley unharmed and that is a testimony in itself, how wonderfully God has protected and guided me through out these trials and tribulations.

Lord says in John16:33

"I have told you this so that through me you may have peace. In the world you will have trouble, but be courageous-I have overcome the world!"

with a promise in Hebrews13:5

"...I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee."

What more promise do you need in life.....
A new year a new beginning, I am surrendering everything to God, the only one I can trust now and always.

Happy New Year to all!!!
God Bless!!!

Jesus is the Reason for the Season

Christmas is almost upon us, stores are getting ready, people are busy buying gifts for their near and dear ones, houses are getting decorated, churches have begun their carols rounds everything looks nice and pretty, but have we lost the real meaning of Christmas?

Lets look behind and see what Christmas is all about.

God loved all of God's children.
God saw that God's children needed to be saved from sin.
God sent his only Son,Jesus(The Savior) to save us from our sins.

This year before gifts, decorations, travel, chlothes or food
Lets remember and praise God the greatest gift of Love... JESUS

Lets put Christ back into Christmas this year.

BEE MOVIE

" Bee Movie" I think this is the sweetest movie i've watched in a long long time ;-) .... Rashmi insisted I watch it and I thought i'd watch it if i had nuthing else to do, i guess that's the best decision i took this weekend.

This movie is about how a bee Barry B. Benson a fresh graduate is apprehensive about making a career choice in honey making business. Barry gets an opportunity to fly outside the hive and almost gets killed when Vanessa a florist from NY saves his life and as their relationship blossoms he discovers humans actually eat honey and wants to sue the whole human race.


A very sweet film with good animation and a comedy that will change everything you think you know about bees. A lovely film and a must watch for this season.
