i don't understand the meaning of Sundays. Isn't it meant to be a day of rest? Isn't it meant to be a day of no work? why are my sundays all packed to the brim?? I think the only times that Darling and me are truly free on Sundays are during our self-declared breaks. Even though we didn't have to attend any Legion-oriented stuff....but today was filled with family events..... I think that's one of the biggest banes of being married....having to attend 2 of every family event......we only just came back at 12 midnight...in time to check Robin's email for forms....haha.....
woke up at 11am....went to darling's niece's 1st year birthday till about 2 plus....
rushed to my family's Father's Day celebration, reached there at 4pm...stayed there till 5 plus.
Came home, took Ethan (my nephew) with me to the playground...... then went for evening Mass. Fr. Bosco did Mass, and I love his sermon today.
He was saying that there are 2 seas in the Holy Land, one is the Sea of Galilee, teeming with fish, and lots of marine life; the other one is the Dead Sea, in which there's so much salt that there can be no life in it. Both are sourced from the River Jordan....so he asked, "Why is it that one river source can create 2 extremely different seas?" And his answer was such, "The main difference is that the Sea of Galilee has an outlet, in which the river flows into the Sea of Galilee, then flows out into the Ocean......however, the Dead Sea has no outlet, and the only way the water escapes is through evaporation. And this is suffice to prove that we need to not only receive, but also to give. Coz, the Dead Sea, in only receiving, ended up without life; however, the Sea of Galilee, because it gives and receives, is thus full of life. And this is the same with God's love. Having received it, it is also important that we now look for others to share God's love with, and from there, the cycle continues......" Absolutely beautiful. The use of nature to share what God wants to tell us.
Anywayz, right after that, my bro called, told me he wanted to bring my Dad to change his handphone....darling and me decided to go with them....ended up, we were at TM until 9 plus.....
Headed to Darling's house for a very late Father's Day dinner...... left at 11.30.......
have to start reading the forms and analysing there now.........
it's crazy....but...oh well, I got to spend some very important time with darling's niece, and my nephew... really love them lots and lots....especially Ethan...but i won't say more..... will put up their photos just to show you how adorable they really are.... =D
