A trip to the beach

Have you ever thought about how amazing is that someone who created so many things that you see on earth?
The trees,
the ocean, the many different colours and variety of animals and plants?
Ain't they unique?

Today i wanna talk about a trip to sentosa...
I went there with ah gong (zhong han), leng shan, ling zhi, david choo and jasmine.
We were supposed to watch some jazz musical thingy..but at the end, i wasn't very interested and ah gong, ls and i went to walk at the beach..
It was quite late like 9 plus and we just layed on the beach and look at the sky, sea, stars and to feel the wind and hear the ocean...
I think it really feels great to get intuned with nature..
Just amazing.

It was my first time lying on the sand bed.
I grabbed the sand and i thought about where it came from..it came from disintegrated rocks from all around singapore and many other countries..
I thought about how we are like the sand..the world consists of many thousand, millions, billions, trillions of people since the beginning of time..
And each grain of sand represents each of us..
All of us are unique and special just like how no two grains of sand are the same.
we are like so puni and insignificant just like, who will take notice of a single grain of sand right?
cause it is like 1 grain of you amongst the so many other people out there..
Thats why i really thank God cause even God, the greatest and most significant being of all cares about this grain of sand and He loves us without any condition..
He loves us just because we are a grain of sand..it is that simple and it depends on us whether we want to accept this love..because no relationship can be established if it is only a one way thing.

I started to think about death..
Ask you, how many of you will actually look at the newspaper page of who died and stuff?
everyday, someone dies...but who will actually care?
Maybe the person's family la...but that is all right?
But there is a God out there who cares about every single soul and He cares even more about where are we going to spend our eternal lives in.
Thats why He chose to suffer and die for us.

I think alot of us get so so caught up with life that we forgot and miss out on some of the things in life..
We miss out on how to appreciate nature and nature itself.
The things we have to do are like always there like forever..it is never ending!
Only when we learn to take sometime out to enjoy and appreciate the fundamentals around us and not get so caught up with wanting and chasing life itself, will we get to enjoy simple joys.
Zhong Han added on to my thought.
he said that he will never forget to enjoy nature because he love nature and it is already part of him..
I believe it is the same as our christian walk and out relationship with God.
We always sing songs praising God and declaring that we love Him and stuff..
But as Zhong Han says..if we love something, we will take it as part of us and we will always no matter how busy we are, find time to appreciate Him and to talk to Him, seek His opinion and stuff..because He is part of us if we are truely His children...

I believe that all these things that we usually forget are things and experiences are we always miss out. And usually they are the most valuable ones.
So take some time out just appreciate the simple and most fundamental things in life today!

God loves you!
