Reminiscing bits and pieces

It is barely a month that new year is approaching leaving us few more days counting to Christmas, then New Year. So much have happened in 2013, and i believe and hope that it makes us stronger to move on. There are several unforgettable happy and sad moments in 2013 that i would like to share. One of those experience was to lose a person in our life, it was a heart aching phase and it only made me realised that everything on this earth are just temporary as it is. It got me thinking very thoroughly that the things that we ought to long for or have will soon vanish when we are called to reunite with our maker. We have lost a very humble and kind uncle. Oral cancer took his life away back in September this year. 

It was two months before his passing, i have gotten a career change that opened my eyes to the real avenue of manufacturing. The change was not easy though, it was more like a demote phase of my life but i am glad that everything happens for a reason and i truly believe that God will not give us challenges that we cannot handle. 

Recently, a record breaking monsoon storm hit Kuantan (place where i lived) leaving thirty thousands homeless and killing three. It was a devastating disaster and each year we observed the monsoon season to be getting worst than before, clearly due to the global warming. Although we are not affected by the flood, but seeing our friends and colleagues gone through the inconveniences and loss was painfully bitter. 

Despite the down moments in my life, i have also been blessed and grateful for the good that happened.   Being blessed in Christ means blessing others too as we are merely stewards of God's kingdom to help others in times of need. It is easy to say as always, but to act upon it is another case. Therefore, as new year approaching, i am sure to put up a few important things to achieve and do to help.

You will probably wonder why those pictures were posted due to the irrelevance to this sharing. They were just little things that reminding me that i should be thankful and content with what i have and start to bless others who are in need..  No doubt i love beautiful things but inwardly, i seriously felt lacking of humanity and constantly feel the need to indulge myself with beautiful things. I supposed that 2014 is more about others than myself. Definitely not easy means, but I see a better course in life next year, with Jesus be my guide, Amen.
