Journey To 40

According to the bible, 40 symbolizes the death with oneself and the spiritual rebirth. It is definitely the beginning of new things going forward.

It is gratitude because whatever we appreciate increases.

Healing like change takes alot of time.

Someone would always leave first. We all pray and hope it happens when we are old and grey.

His whispers are the most calming reassurance we need for troubled times.

There is treasure in every pain.

“Being thankful is not always experienced as a natural state of existence, we must work at it, akin to a type of strength training for the heart.” – Larissa Gomez. Faith makes all the difference when life happens.

We can only receive forgiveness to the measure we are willing to forgive others. Forgiveness is truly a gift and I am grateful the saviour of the world Jesus; never stops forgiving us all for our unhealthy choices.

What would life be like without brothers and sisters? Siblings make life alot more colourful. The playing and fighting makes all the difference. I am grateful for my siblings.

The more we know the more is required of us. May we teach our children good values like unconditional love, kindness, patience and integrity. May we help them discover their unique individuality early in life.

God created each and everyone of us with a purpose in mind. He makes no mistakes. If he created you, then he has a special assignment for you to fulfill while you are on earth.
