WBFC #1 for A Mother As I am

September is here and we can now hear Christmas songs played on the radio.  Most of the establishments right now are putting up their Christmas tree.  It is really the time of the year that everyone are excited.  Be it Christmas season or not, the Weekend Blog Follower Caravan is still here.  Oh, how I miss visiting and following blogs....





And, for this week all participants will have the chance to win $5 courtesy of  Coffee on the Side and Walking News Paper.  All you have to do is do welcome your new and old followers through your post.  And then, return the favor by following and commenting them also.  


I would like to welcome all of you to my mom's blog.  Since she also loves writing, I suggested to publish them through a blog which I will maintain.  And now "A Mother As I Am" was born.  Hope you will enjoy reading her experiences and thoughts on different things.  

Just Pass It ON....

One morning, I was waiting for a taxi..and with me are my 2 luggages and a few bags of my personal belongings as I was bound to transfer to my new accomodation.  It was a very uncomfortable situation as nobody has a spare time to help me so it was all by myself carrying such heavy loads..The taxi was scarce that day because it was a Friday (Friday is rest day for Arab countries). It was a quiet morning and the cool breeze that touched my skin made me sick and irritable..Then I noticed an old lady whom I think is also waiting for a taxi.  She was a block ahead of me.and to my surprise when a taxi came to her she told the driver to come to me first which I understand through her gestures.  I felt a little bit ashamed but grateful to her offering such nice deed for me.  But I felt a little relieved when a taxi came for her too. .When my taxi passed by hers, I opened the window and said to her "Thank you Madam,it was so nice of you" she smiled back and replied,"it's nothing dear,just pass it on"..She was older than me but with her Arabic features she was very beautiful and her goodness and beauty echoed in my memory since then.


When I arrived in the area of my accomodation I was again disgusted because there was no lift to ease the burden of carrying my things as my destination is on the 3rd floor.  I patiently carried my things one at a time when one man offered help. I was sweating hard despite cold weather andIi was catching my breath. ..When we are about to finish, I noticed his face became serious as he was listening to a radio on his mobile. I did not understand as the radio was in Arabic..But then I heard gunshots and screaming and I saw as if tears would fall down..I asked him what's happening and he told me of the problem in Egypt.  I said I was aware of what is happening as I have also a friend from Egypt,..he felt worried as his family is in Egypt.. I felt a sympathy for this family man for..I know how it feels to be far from our loved ones. I gave him words of consolation and assurance that everthing which has a beginning will have an ending...I said I will include his family in my daily prayers.and.when I mentioned "MashAllah" to him he asked me if I know how to speak Arabic  I said no but, I know it means "Allah will protect" he smiled at me and that smile turned into laughter..I amazingly asked why he laughed, he told me "I am happy you made me laugh in my moment that I am so depressed about my family and my country,I will wish Allah to make you an Egyptian for you can be a good Egyptian. .We parted ways and he gave me thanks all I could answer was" you are welcome,just pass it on."  


With that incident, I remembered the beautiful Arabic lady who told me to pass on the good deed..so therefore, I can prove that different faiths and nationalies can walk hand in hand in harmony and that goodness must not stop rolling by...just pass it on Dear.

GRATITUDE

It is a proven case that in the difficult banquet of one's life,comes the true and genuine people that you didn't expect are the ones who will save you from drowning...and it is in the abundant times of your life,when poor suckers will indeed show up and hide their true identity and intentions with a smile...that if one approaches you with a smile BEWARE...for most smiles are deceiving....but if one greets you with a smile and afterwards make ways to make you laugh,then let that laughter STAY...so old age is not a conclusion to distinguish the true left and right or the back and front of a person........As gratitude is the mother of all virtues......then am trying my best to sincerely show how grateful i am to those true and good people around me who helped me emotionally and financially..... to ALL  of YOU ....THANK YOU VERY MUCH..

A Mother As I Am

God created me as a very unique one, different from His creations ..
He created my shoulders strong enough to carry the burden of the world and soft enough to be comfortable for my children to lean on..
He gave me strenght to be able to give Life...
He gave me patience to accept the rejections that often comes from children..
He gave me endurance to allow myself to go on when everybody seems to surrender..
He gave me good health to take care of the family despite illness, fatigue and old age..
He gave me sensitivity to love my children unconditionally even when they have hurt me deeply sometimes...
And most of all He gave me Beauty not seen in the way I carry my dress or the way I put makeup on my face or the way I fix my hair, not even seen in the way I walk...


but Beauty in my eyes where my eternal love for my children resides...
that whenever a tear fell in my eyes ,
you will feel how a Mother's heart goes by...
