Recently, I stated that happiness in this world is primarily based on transient things that will leave us with an empty heart. However, if we put God first in our lives and express gratitude, happiness will become real... The seemingly insignificant things around us will then become significant and appreciated, bringing us lasting joy. 😊 It was a beautiful, warm and lovely day on those pictures that I snapped last Feb 24... The sight of those puffy cotton-like clouds above floating against the vast ocean of the bright blue sky, with my orange kitty below playing with the pink bougainvilleas in the foreground, summed up my happiness that day...🌥️🐈 The feeling was really wonderful! And so, I grabbed my camera to capture each fleeting moment with a click. I know that these kinds of unexpected, amazing moments don't happen every day, and I want to remember them when I look through my gallery. And with a grateful heart, I thank the Lord, that despite the hardships of this world, God makes a way to cheer us with the available resources that is around us. So, wherever we are, whatever our status in life, we must not look and dwell on those that hamper us, but rather be grateful and look for the possibilities. In those photos, I look beyond the grill fence and the dangling electric cables that block my view to appreciate the beauty of the sky. Instead of impeding me and making me complain, I thank the Lord that even in this small space, I can still get a good glimpse of the sky.
