I AM SO BLESSED

I absolutely love my neigbourhood! You know, I am really blessed because each time I step out of the gate of my house, I am welcomed by so many wonderful, beautiful living things. There are so many unique creatures that are around my neighbourhood, and most of the days, I would literally come across unusual creatures - creatures I've never seen before. Sometimes I have the opportunity to get them on camera, but there are times I couldn't . Nevertheless, to be able to behold them with my eyes, I count my self very blessed.

I am so blessed because, I get the opportunity to see the sunrise in the eastern horizon every morning and sunset in the western horizon in the evenings. And my, the sun is most beautiful when it's setting. Such perfect spherical shape!

I am so blessed because everyday as I look out of my window in the cool evenings, from the clouds above will beam down light rays. Standing at the window and looking at those rays give me such a heavenly assurance of my Father's sovereignty. Rays are undoubtedly, one of the most beautiful sights in the sky. I could image the bright light that shone on Paul, blinding him.

I am so blessed that I have the opportunity to see a great variety of birds such as: kingfishers, eagles, sparrows, storks, magpies, swifts, grey ducks, humming birds and a few more which I cannot identify! I've not known of any neighbourhood with such varied kinds of birds.

I am so blessed because I am able to see insects that causes me to wonder in awe at how wonderfully God had made them. They come in all sizes, shapes, and colors. Each with its own uniqueness! To this date I've seen 7 different damselflies, 5 different flies, 4 different ladybirds, 4 different grasshoppers, 5 different dragonflies, 6 different butterflies, and 5 different spiders around my neigbourhood. They are all stunning in their own ways. I wish I could capture all of them in pictures but some wouldn't allow me to do so. However some were 'vain' enough to allow me to get some shots of their pretty faces! =D

hanging on for dear life

Most Vain Award 2009 goes to Mr. Green Grasshopper!

I am so blessed that I belong to an awesome God! I am so blessed that I am a child of the Most High God. I am so blessed that I was created by the Creator. I am so blessed that he made me in His image. If these creatures - which weren't made in His image are yet so amazingly beautiful - we then must definitely be His priceless masterpieces!!

Great blessings come from appreciating the little things
