Praise the Lord, Alleluia!!!

 

 You make all things beautiful in your time! 

In His Time Lyrics: 
In his time, in his time 
He makes all things beautiful In his time 
Lord please show me everyday 
As you're teaching me your way 
That you do just what you say 
In your time 

You make all things beautiful In your time 
Lord my life to you I bring 
May each song I have to sing 
Be to you a lovely thing 
In your time 

(instrumental) 

Lord please show me everyday 
As you teaching me your way 
That you do just what you say 
In your time 

In your time (in your time), in your time (in your time lord) 
You make all things beautiful In your time 
Lord my life to you I bring 
May each song I have to sing 
Be to you a lovely thing 
In your time 
Be to you a lovely thing 
In your time

What a perfect timing.  Today is the day after Good Friday where Jesus is Risen.  Happy Easter day and on this day, the eggs in the bird nest has hatched!  Last night, after midnight, the eggs were still not hatched.  Just now around noon, when I went to the garden to see the Green Chillies and the nest, I heard sound and it was the birds have hatched!!!  Praise the Lord, Alleluia!!!

In my garden, the seven stars needles flowers buds are plenty.  They were flourishing very well.  I am awaiting for the day to come when all the flowers bloom.  The chillies plants are growing very well too.  I am awaiting to see the chillies plants to grow bigger as well.  

At Woodlands MRT station, the birds build their nest at holes at the control switch

A further view of the control switch where I saw the bird nest at Woodlands MRT Station

I was walking along the pathway between Woodlands MRT Station and Causeway Point.  Then a bird flew by and my eyes followed it.  It flew into the hole at the control switch.  It was the 'modern' bird nest of the birds.  

John 14:23 -- Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them.

A Saved Soul

Jesus loves to share with stories and parables.  In Christianity, there were so many symbolism too.  According to Exemplore, it says that birds have become prominent symbols all throughout the world and across various cultures. They are often seen as the supernatural link between Heaven and the living here on Earth. In certain cultures and religions, like those of the Middle East or Asia, birds represent immortality. In the traditions of the original peoples of North America and in East Indian myth, birds are considered departed souls or spirit messengers. In Christianity, birds can represent peace or may be used to symbolize a saved soul 

Matthew 9:10-17 While Jesus was having dinner at Matthew’s house, many tax collectors and sinners came and ate with him and his disciples.  When the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”   On hearing this, Jesus said, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.  But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’ For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.” .   

Do you understand what this means?  If I just said, some people might not believe what I said without any proof.  And there was no eye witness.  It happened in the bathroom, it happened while I was awoke and everybody were sleeping.  Who would believe what I said?  Am I in the right mind?  So I encountered all these sightings so that you might believe what I said.  

Jesus is the pure one, depicted in white.  I had NEVER ever seen a white dove before in my life until 11 April 2010.  Of course I had seen white dove in magic show.  But that was what they purchase in commercial.  What I mean is in nature.  So Jesus is the unblemished one.  Yet he had come to mix with the impure ones, as can see from the pigeons.  The white one symbolized Jesus and the mixture of black and white ones symbolized the sinners.  

In the photograph above from church of St Anthony of Padua, Jesus was resurrected from the tomb.  He was dressed in white.  

So I am the lost lamb, a sinner, that Jesus had saved.  Just like Jesus had resurrected, I was dead and was resurrected too.  He had saved my soul.  


Birds

Remember I told you that I like to catch birds when I was young? Running after them, chasing them. (I love to scare the cats too. This is because they make too much noise at night, scaring me...)  In Singapore, these are the fun things that we could do when I was young...

Growing up, I stopped catching or running after birds.  I hardly even looked at birds.  Soon, it was almost forgotten that I had encounter birds during my working years.  After my graduation, worked and then got married and so on.  I did not encounter any birds at all.  I only had dogs later on.  

8 March 2008 changed my life.  As you can see from the video above,  11 April 2008 I had a special encounter.  I caught hold of a baby bird!  How fun was that!  And after that, that was not the first time I caught a bird.  Over the years, I had encountered more birds.  I saw them on the pathway, I saw them in my corridor garden, at my house and while walking along roadsides.  

5 June 2012, this turtle dove came to my house.  

Something so special and it just made my day.  This is because in Singapore there was hardly any nice view.  We are surrounded by HDB flats.  And that's why this picture's background is the HDB flat, and also my other pictures have background of HDB flats as well.  

On the same day of 5 June 2012, when I went out of the house with Isaac and Richard later on, I had another encounter of another bird.  I was really filled with ecstasy.  It just let me catch hold of it and it never fly off.  

5 June 2012 caught the bird along the roadside.

Just last year, there were sunbirds that came to my garden to build nest.  And I was able to see the young baby birds!!!!

8 February 2020 bird nest done by sunbirds at my garden.

This was the first time I see real bird nest.  In school, I read about bird nest and what the book had drawn the bird nest to be like.  But I never had a chance to see real bird nest in Singapore.  I only see pigeons having their 'nest' under/ in the crevices of MRT tracks/pillars.  So This really made me so proud of my garden.

Peace Be With You

I find that this photograph was a bit too dark.  So I never choose it to be my profile picture.


I decided to choose this profile picture because the background is nicer than the rest. 


This photograph looks good but I don't like the  background.  

So this photograph revealed my tummy, showing proof of my pregnancy.  

These photographs were taken on Friday, ‎10 April ‎2009.  I was 8 months pregnant.  I spotted a pigeon and I was able to catch it.  It did not fly away fast enough or was I fast enough to catch it.  So happy to be able to catch it.  

When I was young, I was fascinated by birds too.  I tried to catch it but it just flew away when I went near them.  I even crept slowly near them.  But to no avail.  

Anyway, this post is about choosing a pen name for my post.  I had originally used Bliss.  However, I find that it was too difficult to pronounce.  Then I choose the current photograph which is the one below here.  

I think I am too skinny in this photograph, my 'sinner' or 'sick' older self.

This photograph was taken on 6 September 2008, 2 days before my birthday.  Little did I know that I was pregnant by then.  

"This time I am keeping the baby no matter what. "  This was what I thought at that time.  

I asked my children to take the photographs for me.  And I find that the second picture from the top is the most satisfactory for my profile picture.  And I still prefer to be named Peace, easier to pronounce.  So Peace be with you.  May I bring the good news to you.
