1. The Holy Bible. I should be reading this every day but often I make the excuse of "I'm too tired", "too busy", "its too early", "it's too late", "blah blah blah". We are so lucky that we can freely own and read our bibles in this country. We are so lucky we don't have our churches blown up by haters. We are so lucky we don't get imprisoned for our faith. Yet I still put off reading the bible at times and use lame excuses. I don't see past my facade and I know for sure God doesn't.
2. My marriage. It's easy to get comfortable in a marriage and take the other for granted. My husband is wonderful! He helps to clean, washes the dishes every night, baths, dresses and puts baby to bed, let's me sleep in on a Saturday, never stays angry for long, lets me rant, doesn't hit me or abuse me etc etc. But do I always remember to say thank you or tell him how wonderful he is?....I'm not going to answer this lol.
3. A good comfortable pair of shoes! Imagine having to walk around barefoot all the time. Our feet would be cut up, calloused, infected with worms and parasites and dirty. We are so lucky we can just walk down to the shop and get a pair for under $10 if we want to. I often take the small things for granted
4. My beloved cat Marcel. I have taken his presence for granted ever since baby was born. It often gets to around 9pm before we realize we haven't seen Marcel for a while and we begin to get nagged by guilt. He's always there, he puts up with Savanah pulling and hitting him. He puts up with not being fed for a few hours or misses out on cuddles because we are too tired or have our hands full. Yet I never expect him to run off or go to the neighbors for food. I definitely take this cutie for granted
5. Nappies (or diapers for you Americans)! oh how I take these for granted! Until they run out that is and I have to urgently call mum for replacements....another thing I take for granted...but imagine no napppies! I watched the babies movie and in one scene the african baby does a poo and the mum simply wipes away the mess using her knee....hmmmm....thank you Lord for nappies!!!!
OK so here is a small list of my shames. I cant display them all or I would be severely depressed and not function at work later on. What did I learn technically? Angles today. My camera didn't take photos willingly if I got too close even if in focus so I found out that if I step back slightly and I mean slightly and slowly, once the camera was happy it would take the photo. At first I thought maybe the battery was flat, but after charging it and still not working I realized the problem wasn't the camera refusing to do what it was told but me!It was really hard to take the bible shot. It took me ages to balance the lens. I took other photos that were better but then realized you could see the lamp cord at the back. Also if you look closely at the rings photo you'll see a grain of salt. I should have checked the photos as I went along...
Ta ta for now! its off to work I go, ho ho.
