好舒服的星期六早晨 💗

Weekends are a welcoming end to the week, and I've mused recently that even though weekends fly by, weekdays zoom by even at a faster rate. I am happy and thankful this Saturday morn, perhaps because I know I have been nourished this morning - body, soul, spirit. 

Last Sat and this, I end my run at the small beachfront opposite Rihan. Sat down, prayed, looked at the families and people gathered (just like me, to take a break from work, to slow down), and it was me time. And with the weather cooling down rather considerably, the sun rays providing some levels of warmth still, I just feel happy and contented. 

Today, I listened to the Kingdom of God preached from Luke by Pst Tan, and last week it was Time, Change and Transformation - what passes and what abides, from Pst Ravi Z, and Revelation Predestination by Pst Kong. Saturdays are just beautiful, bringing me back to Sabbath rest - trusting God that He works on my behalf. Trusting Him that I do not know and may not understand, but He always works on my behalf.  

I felt a little sad this week too - when Ranie shared with me a beautiful clip of a dog passing on. And I just wanted to love Kenji more. He's grown so much whiter, and the shiba in the video was even whiter. Time passes, what will abide is the love and knowing that He is in control. In any case, I cried (and I am sure all dog lovers will), and I thought it's a beautiful video - quiet, gentle, beautiful, thankfulness, love.

So these last few days, I talked to K more (it's true, we talk to him and tell him we love him), hugged him more, massaged him more, kissed him more. Walked him more. Did a random night walk on Thursday night at 10.30pm round the mosque. He was so so so happy and excited to have a late night thrill, and to go to a new place. His nose twitches, he went about exploring the shrubs. He struts upright and continues on at a tip-tap-tip-tap steady pace. So beautiful, though it was almost 12mn when we returned. :))
