Be Still And Know
Posted by {H} creatives (San Francisco Bay Area, United States) on 13 June 2007 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.
Firstly, I wanted to thank all of you who have so graciously given your time to stop by and commented. Your words have encouraged me as much as all of your creative works have inspired me (and I do take the time to stop by your p-blogs).
I'm still continuing on this theme originally suggested by Simon on my previous blog, especially since Father's Day is coming up here in the United States this weekend.
Fatherhood have so far taught me unconditional love, helped me appreciate this miracle called life, opened up the meaning of "to serve" , and showed me how to practice grace.
It has also taught me that we are not born with parenting skills, and at times, I just have to be still and know that someone up there is watching over me - in the same way that I care for my precious daughter and watch over her - to teach me the wisdom on how to be a good father.
(This picture is dedicated to Johnny - a fellow p-blogger - who have just recently became a proud father of a healthy baby boy. Congrats, brah!)
@badala: Badala, thanks for your comment!

mardook from Germany
she has a very nice curvature in her eyes (in closed situation) , spiral curvature and very soft lines and curves (also look like Eskimos in her special costume, just kidding( , she has a very sweet dream, I can see from her eyes…..

@mardook: Hahahah...thanks Mardook. Love your comments about "Eskimos". They bundle babies up here in the US as soon as they are born. It must feel good for the baby to be all cuddled up after going through such a trauma. B-)
