God Is Watching & Listening

God answered my prayer today, the clouds rolled in and drenched the sun bake soil with precious water, not very heavy but adequate according to the maker. I was sitting next to the pond watching the fishes feed on the pellets this evening when I felt like talking to God, a rather informal chat, thanking Him for his grace and faithfulness, asking for mercy and protection and well, rain! The gentle breeze that blew across the pond created small ripples on the surface and was cool and refreshing, moments like these are priceless, my female Labrador, Bassey was the only one willing to sit next to me while I reflected on life and living. The male Lab was contented to sleep in his kennel while the beagle was exploring… more like searching for durians. True Malaysian dogs, crazy over durians and putting on loads of weight as they abandon their dog food in favour of the more aromatic fruit.

 

Anyway, I was wondering when was the last time anyone of us realize that God is watching us as He watches over us? Do we talk to Him only when we are in need or do we share a close walk with Him? Just a thought… I counted my years and there is not many left for me to do what I want to do while alive. Not my intention to sound morbid but come to think of it, life is really too short. Our loved ones won’t be around forever, so we should treasure every moment of interaction, savor every bit of fellowship and experiences we share. I think I spend too much time worrying over things that does not matter, troubled by people that don’t matter. Time is better spent doing things that matters and spending time with people that matters. God help me.

 

Progress is good here, planted most of the remaining seedlings, just 6 more durian seedlings to be planted. Considering the amount of durians we had the last 4-5 weeks, these seedlings are planted for the coming generations, both wife and I are pretty sick of it. We took the three puppies for their vaccination today and on the way back, I stop at my neighbor’s place and he insisted on me taking one of his ‘Mau Sang Wong’ the current champion of all durians, needless to say we could not finish the fruit and it had to be kept in the ‘Lock & Lock’. Together with our own D24’s, I pack one big tub of rich, fragrant, creamy durian pulp and kept it in the fridge for some unknown durian aficionado that God will send our way.

 

Am looking forward to yet another fruitful day tomorrow…
