Aftermath of Japan...

Just so recently this time we were probably walking around, looking at sights and scenary, thinking of where we should settle down for lunch, or even finished lunch, in that cold weather with sun ablazing at the same time.. Gerald & I were in Japan for a timely, long, good holiday for 2 weeks till Good Friday.
Many people asked us how was the holiday, and good was the answer (of course). But more than the good scenary, sights, experiences, food, what was better was the time spent together, communicating, having shared experiences, bonding and just being together. We realized that reality robs a lot of quality time from us. Once we came back and I started work, I counted that at best, we spend maximum of about 4.5 hrs with each other after work, miuns the sleeping hours. And within these 4-5hrs, we eat, bathe, QT, etc... I know that's reality and that's no excuse of neglecting people around us. I guess we really have to work around whatever we have and make the best out of it.
Through things that happen in our lives, I guess we learn more about ourselves and learn more about God's character. I learnt more and more about this truth: All things work for the good of those who love Him. No matter what happens, I know His Grace is Sufficient for me to go through life with Him.
I learnt that God loves me so much, that come what may, He knows best and He works all things for my good.
Oh, this didn't turn out to be a telling of what went on in Japan and all the holiday stories... seems like it turned out to be a learning entry...
But whatever it is, I still look forward to our next holiday; I see the value in it...
