Surprise Birthday Party

I was just finished taking a bath after caring for my sick mother, cleaning her up in the morning, when  a friend came knocking, which I expect to see him later. I was just going to have my breakfast before we went to his friend's house around 9 a.m.  

So I opened the gate to let him in, as suddenly my other friends came out... Bringing cakes, noodles, snacks and glassed water... congratulate me on my birthday. It was a real surprise for me, a big and wonderful one... Thank you guys... I love you all...

Here we were... In my brother's front yard, having a 'garden party' (as my friend commented) and intriguing passers by to find out what the occasion was about. Some neighbors even came by to congrats me too ... *grinning*  

So after the usual birthday ritual: singing birthday song, making birthday wish, blowing candles, cutting the cakes and birthday prayer, everyone was enjoying the noodles and snacks, chit chatting as we haven't get together for some time. 

My friends also prayed for my mother's health after singing some religious songs... One of them later commented in bb group "Love from heaven flowing in Novi's home" as one of the song was "Kasih dari Surga". Thank you, dear friends... for bringing love from heaven for my Mama...  

 Last but not least... birthday gift...

A polo shirt and a matching colored jacket... Thanks
*big hugs*

Thank You GOD, for sending these great friends into my life... My our friendship last forever in Your love... Amen.

Be yourself...

Beberapa minggu terakhir ini, seorang saudara mengeluhkan sifat dan sikapku yang menurutnya aneh. Bagaimana pun aku menjelaskannya, ia tidak dapat mengerti dan menerimanya...

Sampai terakhir kemarin di telepon aku bilang udah ga usah dibahas... Namun, masih berharap bahwa ia akan memahami aku sekali ini, aku berusaha menjelaskan lagi lewat bbm. Tanggapannya: "terserah", "up to you", "egp"...

Pagi ini display picture seorang teman, kurasakan sebagai peneguhan atas apa yang aku alami sehubungan dengan keluhan saudaraku itu. 

Terima kasih Tuhan, melalui gambar ini Kau ingatkan aku bahwa Engkau menciptakan setiap ciptaanMU sedemikian uniknya, sehingga tidak ada satu pun yang sama. Masing-masing Kauciptakan seturut rencana dan kehendakMu dengan tujuan yang berbeda-beda. 
Bimbing aku Tuhan, supaya aku bisa memenuhi tujuan Engkau menciptakan aku, sehingga nanti aku boleh kembali kepadaMu dengan misi yang terselesaikan seturut mauMu. Amin...
