i’m not a huge fan of lunches. usually when it’s time for lunch at school, i stay at my desk.. read a book.. check some seatworks.. or work in front of the PC (or laptop) while munching away at my “lunch” of chips/snacks from the cafeteria.
but that was a long time ago. nowadays, i find myself looking forward to lunch at school. why the change? hmm. it’s all because of the lunch notes.
see, a while back, my dad started packing lunch for me. yes, you read that right. my dad packs my lunch *every day* before we go to work. and to make sure i finish the food he prepares for me, he hides notes in my baon :p it works, though.. coz i’m forced to eat all my rice (and even the dessert!) just to get the notes my dad hides at the bottom of my baunan haha ü
the thing is.. my dad’s notes have made me appreciate lunch hour so much more than i used to ü no more “multitasking” for me while eating.. no more snacks-for-lunches.. no more rushing/skipping noontime meals. because i know the effort my dad puts into preparing my food.. as well as the love he pours out into those teeny-tiny notes he writes for me ü
in the same manner, the Lord gives us *a lot* of His love notes every single day! and He uses all sorts of ways to send them to us. He gives us His Word to remind us of His numerous promises of love and blessings. He sends encouraging messages to inspire us to keep on walking the Christian walk. He surrounds us with friends and family who rejoice with us in times of triumph and who cry with us in times of sorrow. God provides us with a loving community to journey with us as we walk closer to Him. He gives us 525,600 minutes each year.. for us to use as we see fit - to smell the roses, to smile at friends, to spend time in prayer, to glorify our Lord ü
i see trees of green, red roses too. i see them bloom for me and you. and i think to myself, “what a wonderful world”
i see skies of blue and clouds of white. the bright, blessed day, the dark, sacred night. and i think to myself, “what a wonderful world”
the colors of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky, are also on the faces of people going by. i see friends shaking hands, saying ‘how do you do?’ they’re really saying ‘i love you’
i hear babies cry, i watch them grow. they’ll learn much more than i’ll ever know. and i think to myself, “what a wonderful world”
every blade of grass.. every flower.. every person we meet is a “hello” and “i love you” from our God. and if we open our eyes.. our hearts.. to accept His daily messages to us, we will realize that it truly is a wonderful world ü
brothers and sisters, who colors your world? who makes it wonderful? who enables you to enjoy life and see it in a new light?
may we always find time to savor His love for us.. and to thank Him for all the blessings He continues to send our way ü
