Syukur

dear sarah

this morning, while sending u to nursery, we drive passed one motorcycle. there were 3 ppl riding on the motorcycle. i guess 1 is the father and 2 sons. they are indians. mama look at them from the window, one of the boys returns mama's look. we held the gaze for a few seconds.

and that few seconds gv a lasting impression to mama's heart till now. and since u were asleep on mama's lap this morning, mama wants to extend the impression to u too...when u are big..and no longer sleeps on mama's lap in the car.

dear sarah, they are riding on one motorcycle. mama was thinking; its not safe to practice as such. also, what if they are being caught by the authority? how it is when the day rains?

mama believed the father didnot intentionaly want to practice that kind of transportation. but mayb they cant afford to have a car. the one that we usually take for granted.

when u are big, when u are rich, u will notice that the topic of the rich is not the type of transportation; but types of car u owned, and/or how many do u have. and still, they will compete and keep on wanting more.

when u are big, when u are rich, when u have a car-regardless the model, keep looking out of the window. see those that rides on the motorcycle. u will see many cycles with their little ones in the middle. when it rains, u turn off the aircond inside ur car because u are cold; while the motorcyclist, they are cold from the rain. u can safely go inside the house while having a little to worry about ur slightly-wet cloth. remember, those motorcyclist are drenched in the rain, and they have to stop long under the bridges waiting for the rain to slow down before picking up the journey where they left it.

always remember to be thankful at all times. whenever u think u r unlucky, keep in mind that u r luckier in many ways compared to many ppl. remember mama teach u abt redha? ;)

whenever u feel not enough, remember that u got a food to eat, cloth to wear and a home to shelter. many ppl got none of those.

keep it close to heart that we need to always be thankful to the provider i.e. Allah. whatever happens to u, be thankful. in that way, ur rizq will double fold. if that happens, double-triple the syukr.

be a thankful 'abd. afterall, arent we just the servant?

p/s: the name syukra was one of the names that mama wants to gv u because mama likes the meaning. syukra means those that are always thankful hence this blog was named after

mama stil remember the look in one of the boys eyes- so longing to be comfy in the car

luv, mama
