Captured Glimpses of Our Beautiful World

The real meaning of Christmas... For God so loved the world that  He gave His one and only Son, Jesus Christ,  so that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.  (John 3:16)

  We come from two different worlds but that silly thing called  Love brought us together... and so we continue to shine brightly for each other... for how long? as long as Love exists... ~

We would love to be in Paris this Christmas!  Pretending that we're already on our way to Paris doesn't hurt...  We simply just have to brush up with our poor French skills. If someone would offer me a fashion makeover, I'd absolutely say OUI to it!!!  wohoo!!!  Vouloir, c'est pouvoir!!! The time difference makes me feel really sleepy now! Je vais pieuter ~ Fais de beaux rêves 

He sees you when you're sleeping He knows when you're awake  He knows if you've been bad or good So be good for goodness sake! Lord Jesus, Please forgive me for being so grumpy  as I trudge through the never-ending tasks  set before me this holiday season... My to-do list seems to keep growing  and I'm running short of time! Restore the joy of Christmas to my heart . . . and help me to relax each day and make time for YOU-- my one true Source of Joy .

You've been watching me for a while  and you like what you see It's in the eyes of the beholder Now give them to me... Give me your eyes that seem to light my face... from The Cardigans, " Give me your Eyes " ~

Welcome to our Antiquity Party!!! I wish I know how to serenade you with some music (^_^) ~ It always feels good to be transported back in time  even just for a night ~ and meet the Pharaoh or be with a Roman gladiator or have a quick chat with Julius Caesar or brush shoulders with fellow Egyptian princess and Greek warrior or share stories with Icarus and his infamous wings oh what a blast we all had  to have Romans, Greeks, Egyptians in one party!!! Must be so exciting during the ancient times =) We surely enjoyed dressing up for the party ~ "There are never enough hours  in the days of a queen,  and her nights have too many." "I will not be told where I can go  and where I cannot go!" ~ Cleopatra in xaTwa 3azīza   خطوة عزيزة  You honor us with your visit!!! ~  Thank you for coming   ~

One cloudy early morning, we drove down to the southwestern countryside of the island. What do you expect of me on a trip like this? Of course, nothing else ~ but take as much pictures as I can ~ I thank you God for this most amazing day,  for the leaping greenly spirits of trees,  and for the blue dream of sky  and for everything which is natural,  which is infinite,  which is yes.  ~ e.e. cummings There is one spectacle grander than the sea,  that is the sky;  there is one spectacle grander than the sky,  that is the interior of the soul.  ~ Victor Hugo I  cannot get  that beautiful afternoon  out of my head,  above me where I lay  the grass was silhouetted  against the blue of the heavens,  small clouds were rushing past  as the wind drove them  on an endless journey.  ~ Julia Lee-Booker Gray skies are just clouds ...
