life's beautiful isnt it?
especially when your loved ones are close to you.
pampering you with love,care and concern.
life couldn't be better.
now i see the beauty of life.
after so long having my url as thebeautifulthingsinmylife, now then i realized.
this is the most beautiful feeling ever.
i'm so glad and thankful, He finally unlocks the doors to my heart.
bringing peace and harmony into my daily pictures.
teaching me to appreciate nature and the loved ones while they're still here with me.
Let us think about the way how many of us treat our parents.
We shy away from them when they may need something.
We never visit them if we are away from them.
In fact, many people dispose of their parents in retirement homes.
And when an argument ignites between our parents and us, many of us shout at them as if we were arguing with our worst enemy,
May Allah protect us all.
Compare this to those that came before us.
Dhibyaan ibn Ali ath-Thowree (ra) used to travel with his mother to Makkah.
There in the scorching heat he would dig a little pool and fill it with cool water.
Then he would turn to his mother and say, "Ummi, sit in this water to cool yourself."
For many of us, our friends are more precious to us than our mother and father.
We are forgetful of the time, but I hope I've reminded you now.
And it's never to late to seek forgiveness :)
"You're always complaining about your Mother's nagging, when I don't even have a Mother,"
- an old friend of mine.
p.s: 17 going 18. I realized i'm someone appreciative now. Numbers do make a difference :) Your soft personality is in YOU, you just need to search for it sincerely.
