The author of this blog is suffering from a bout of flu, thus she will keep this light and await for another day when she has enough mental power to jot down her reflection for this year. For now, she wishes to:

There’s so much to update but so little time.
Christmas is near. The end of the year is near. Time for more reflection and setting of goals for the new year.
Hope to write more in the days to come.
For now, I’m counting down to Christmas and the many blessings I have received. 
Food and Tragedies
December 8, 2008 at 11:26 pm (Faith Moments, Short Musings & Quotes)
Reflection on tragedies, death and terminal illness using the analogy of food that is inspired by my conversation with Gabe earlier today.
Bad food or good food. It is part of the experience in eating.
We can’t always escape eating bad food. However this does not mean we stop eating altogether after tasting some bad ones.
Maybe the bad food enhances the good ones and make it truly superb.
Likewise with life.
We can’t always escape the tragedies that befalls human being. Alongside with the good in life, we also have the bad. Do we then throw away life just because some bad happen? That is foolishness.
The bad is bad. It is often painful. However, I think it is as we experience the sorrow of this life, we begin to truly understand the heights of the joys life offer.
The bad in life is also a faint whisper that reminds us that life was never meant to be like that at the start. Even as we shed our tears right now, we are reminded that one day all tears will be wiped away and things will be made right.
We await in hope for that day to come.
Change

Our end goal is not change. Rather it is to know Christ.
If we start from the premise of change, we miss the point of it all.
Ordinary Miracle that is not so ordinary
December 1, 2008 at 6:13 pm (Music Moments)
Sarah McLachlan remains as one of the singer I enjoy listening to. Here’s one of the song I remembered today (taken from the movie Charlotte’s Web).
Ordinary Miracle by Sarah McLachlan
It’s not that usual when everything is beautiful
It’s just another ordinary miracle today
The sky knows when its time to snow
You don’t need to teach a seed to grow
It’s just another ordinary miracle today
Life is like a gift they say
Wrapped up for you everyday
Open up and find a way
To give some of your own
Isn’t it remarkable?
Like every time a raindrop falls
It’s just another ordinary miracle today
Birds in winter have their fling
And always make it home by spring
It’s just another ordinary miracle today
When you wake up everyday
Please don’t throw your dreams away
Hold them close to your heart
Cause we are all a part
Of the ordinary miracle
Ordinary miracle
Do you want to see a miracle?
Its seems so exceptional
Things just work out after all
It’s just another ordinary miracle today
The sun comes up and shines so bright
It disappears again at night
It’s just another ordinary miracle today
It’s just another ordinary miracle today
It made me laugh as I saw the little pig splashing about in the mud. *Giggle* Sometimes I forget that life is also to be enjoyed.
It brought a smile to my face as I saw the little pig sticking out its tongue to taste the snow. *Grin* Sometimes I forget that life is an adventure.
Today I am reminded that life is a miracle. It seems ordinary because I forgot to see things like a child would – with wide eye wonder.
Has life got you down lately? Remember this:
Life is like a gift they say
Wrapped up for you everyday
Open up and find a way
To give some of your own
You are a miracle.
