Have you ever bounced a tennis ball? It is possible that the ball bounces higher than the point where it drops from.
I have bounced back...and I am higher and still bouncing! Yeehaaaaaaa.........*cowboy's style*
I have dived right down to the cause of why I was down. Just after I wrote I was feeling down, I spent sometime in Mekah - performed Umrah and prayed to God to guide me back to what is the best path for me. Clouds moved! Heavy loads shifted from my shoulders. Faces appeared and dissappeared. I went there looking for peace, for love, for compassion. I came back with plenty to give......
It becomes clearer to me.....that, I have to pursue more actively in giving. The place to start is where I am now and the best thing to give is my time and my experience.
“You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.”
Kahlil Gibran
It is touching therefore to see another dear STAROBA brother of mine here, also championing a cause to provide for those who need. Please contact him directly if you wish to join in this noble cause. Of course, neither he nor anyone else can repay your sincere gifts - May Allah bless you for now and for after!
Ps: This blog will continue with the my usual bantering *smiling*

Assalamualaikum warahmatullah,
ReplyDeleteHow's your book going?
Met Puan Ainon during my book signing at the Pesta Buku Antarabangsa 2008.
She had the impression that you are busy attending to your boss's 'whatever'.
Anyway, hope the writing is still going on strong, eh?

ReplyDeleteMembuat kebaikan dan kebajikan...akan membuat kita merasa 'puas hati' walaupun penat. Especially bila orang yang kita bantu mampu tersenyum dan mengalirkan airmata dengan pertolongan kita walau sedikit. Lebih-lebih lagi bila mereka juga mendo'akan kebaikan untuk kita di dunia dan di akhirat. Sebagai full time housewife saya bersyukur kerana Allah mepermudahkan saya mendapat ruang untuk saya mengunakan tenaga dan masa yang ada untuk menjalankan aktiviti kebajikan.
