the world is a great big shopping mall

welcome 2012! another year has come and gone and January is here to stay. the world is back to normal again. i've started taking off my christmas decorations and putting back the holiday tableware back to their special cupboards. we thank God for all the blessings that He has given us last year and we are ready and looking forward to receive His gifts of love this year :)

He is a loving and generous God and if we just look around us, He has given us soooo much. sometimes we are just too choosy or too uppity to notice.

the other day, as I was out and about with the mister, we chanced upon this lonely christmas tree left on the curb. he is still intact and there were still a few bits of glittering tinsel left on some of his branches. when we came back a few hours later, he was gone. i hope he went to a good home where he is loved and cared for.
and as i was throwing away our garbage, someone left this beautiful artwork in the bins. such a waste to throw something so beautiful away.
i wish sometimes people would be conscious enough to give these things away to a charity shop so other people who can appreciate their beauty can have a chance to love them and keep them. at the same time, keep nonbiodegradable things away from the landfill so our future generations can enjoy our beautiful world.

  1. I know I have sighed over the things in the trash but you can't rescue everything! Each person is responsible for their own belongings.
