JeFFFaye: Happy Friendship Day!!

I think it's never too late to say HAPPY FRIENDSHIP DAy since it's still in d mood of it.

"Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born."
- Anais Nin

"My friends are my estate."
- Emily Dickinson

"Every person is a new door to a different world."

- from movie "Six Degrees of Seperation" (thanks to Steve's Famous Quotes)

"A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart, and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words."

I had another great weekend when my friend's brother had a wedding reception at our hometown, Keningau to be exact.

Well, all my friends were my schoolmates & even classmates since kindergarden! Yeah, it's sounds ridicules but that's the reality. Every one has grown to be in different fields but the friendship remains the same and even our bad habits haven't changed! heheheee...guys u know wat I mean. I didn't want to elaborate on that bcos that what makes our friendship lasts I guess.. the colours of every one of us..the blessing of knowing every single type of person GOD has created.
I'm blessed. Really blessed to have known U all.

I'm blessed that along my journey I meet a few new friends that as wonderful as those friends I have had. Dionysia, Ila@ Mariam Jamella, Umi Y not in the picture; WEndy Luke)

Well, haven't ask permission from Nik to publish the pictures of their mansion but I will do so.

The chandelier that shines for the stairs in the house. It's so attaractive and is a centre stage of the house.

Sainty and Nol are relaxing after having a great dinner out side. This is hall for the front porch,behind it is a living room.

I forced nolda to pose even though we weren't comfortable because a lot of people were staring at the magnificent mansion of Nik's parents.

Well, this is not the bride or newly-wed, ni pengantin lama ni ;) I like this angle where we could see the centre stage of the house which is this swirl stairs with English roses details and not only that all the decorations are English roses flowers only. It's like bringging the garden in the house.
It is said that all the siblings did contribute something on the interior & building the house.
By the way, Nik in her Arabian, Kaftan dress designed by Jovian Mandiage & make-up by Chomel. She looked stunning as if she's the bride but she's always down to earth with us her friends.

I hope all of you have a great friendship not only through friends but also family or maybe a stranger. GOD bless

John 3:16

In the city of Chicago, one cold, dark night, a blizzard was setting in. A little boy was selling newspapers on the corner, the people were in and out of the cold. The little boy was so cold that he wasn't trying to sell many papers. He walked up to a policeman and said, "Mister, you wouldn't happen to know where a poor boy could find a warm place to sleep tonight would you? You see, I sleep in a box up around the corner there and down the alley and it's awful cold in there for tonight. Sure would be nice to have a warm place to stay," The policeman looked down at the little boy and said, "you go down the street to that big white house and you knock on the door. When they come out the door you just say John 3:16, and they will let you in."

So he did. He walked up the steps and knocked on the door, and a lady answered. He looked up and said, "John 3:16." The lady said, "Come on in, Son." She took him in and she sat him down in a split bottom rocker in front of a great big old fireplace, and she went off. The boy sat there for a while and thought to himself: John 3:16....I don't understand it, but it sure makes a cold boy warm.

Later she came back and asked him "Are you hungry?" He said, "Well, just a little. I haven't eaten in a couple of days, and I guess I could stand a little bit of food," The lady took him in the kitchen and sat him down to a table full of wonderful food. He ate and ate until he couldn't eat any more. Then he thought to himself: John 3:16... Boy, I sure don't understand it but it sure makes a hungry boy full.

She took him upstairs to a bathroom to a huge bathtub filled with warm water, and he sat there and soaked for a while. As he soaked, he thought to himself: John 3:16... I sure don't understand it, but it sure makes a dirty boy clean. You know, I've not had a bath, a real bath, in my whole life. The only bath I ever had was when I stood in front of that big old fire hydrant as they flushed it out.

The lady came in and got him. She took him to a room, tucked him into a big old feather bed, pulled the covers up around his neck, kissed him goodnight and turned out the lights. As he lay in the darkness and looked out the window at the snow coming down on that cold night, he thought to himself: John 3:16... I don't understand it but it sure makes a tired boy rested.

The next morning the lady came back up and took him down again to that same big table full of food. After he ate, she took him back to that same big old split bottom rocker in front of the fireplace and picked up a big old Bible. She sat down in front of him and looked into his young face. "Do you understand John 3:16?" she asked gently. He replied, "No, Ma'am, I don't. The first time I ever heard it was last night when the policeman told me to use it,"

She opened the Bible to John 3:16 and began to explain to him about Jesus. Right there, in front of that big old fireplace, he gave his heart and life to Jesus.
He sat there and thought: John 3:16. .. .. I don't understand it, but it sure makes a lost boy feel safe. You know, I have to confess I don't understand it either, how God was willing to send His Son to die for me, and how Jesus would agree to do such a thing. I don't understand the agony of the Father and every angel in heaven as they watched Jesus suffer and die. I don't understand the intense love for ME that kept Jesus on the cross till the end. I don't understand it, but it sure does make life worth living. John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. If you aren't ashamed to do this, please follow the directions. Jesus said, "If you are ashamed of me, I will be ashamed of you before my Father."

I do Love God. He is my source of existence. He keeps me functioning each and every day. Phil 4:13
