in spite of it all...what a wonderful world... and what a gift and a great privilege to be living in it :) which so many of us btw don't even realize that we now live in paradise and it's time to enjoy it for we won't be here for eternity as everything will change, things will end as this heart-shaped flower of mine. glad that i captured it for memory's sakes, happy memory that is :> so if you like it and love it, preserve it :) for a life even of this flower won't last, but that's life...we're here today but gone tomorrow, soon or not very soon and it's not even our call to decide. not our call to manipulate, not our call to direct, not our call to drive for that's God on the wheel of our lives. although we can make it better or we can make it otherwise...our choice...shall we color it with black or shall we color it with those colors of that rainbow above...(^_~)...shall we go with people that drag us into that deep abyss of dark despair or shall we prefer to be with those that would like to hear the birds sing and the bees buzz while they fly to go and smell the roses in our gardens that is not so wide... again...the choice is in our hands...shall we go with a dangling illusion that won't last or shall we go with reality that paints our world with laughter and fun because it's not a fake and a fad...our choice...really...let's make that call that will color our very timed lives on this earth as beautiful and as remarkable as it can...let's do it :)and yes, good luck to the new Miss USA and she is from here :) definitely she is not the usual type to be crowned like others before her. so it's either her or miss philippines. if any one of these two will win, it will make my day on 8-23, the miss universe broadcast date... something to look forward to :)
Luke 12: 22 - 31
22 And he said to his disciples, "Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you shall eat, nor about your body, what you shall put on.
23 For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing.
24 Consider the ravens: they neither sow nor reap, they have neither storehouse nor barn, and yet God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds!
25 And which of you by being anxious can add a cubit to his span of life?
26 If then you are not able to do as small a thing as that, why are you anxious about the rest?
27 Consider the lilies, how they grow; they neither toil nor spin; yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
28 But if God so clothes the grass which is alive in the field today and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, O men of little faith!
29 And do not seek what you are to eat and what you are to drink, nor be of anxious mind.
30 For all the nations of the world seek these things; and your Father knows that you need them.
31 Instead, seek his kingdom, and these things shall be yours as well.
