Hello lovely Souls π₯°
Hope and pray that all is well with you and loved ones π
We are well by the grace of God! As expected weather in our Sindh province is changing as quickly as something runs down on sloppy hills swiftly π Anyway I am very happy to have a normal winter this year without being troubled. February is pleasant month full of cheerfulness and hope for spring month of March π₯° March is most beautiful time of the year because of lots of colourful flowers and joyful breeze π₯Ή♥️ Our small garden area has started to look prettier and lush again as hubby’s hardwork is paid with many sweet sprouts of seasonal plants π€ . Few blooms have opened their eyes already and smiling joyously . April is slightly warm yet very nice for outdoor activities. So I am thankful for this opportunity of life to experience gifts of God around π₯Ήπ
Hope you too are enjoying your days and hope weather is slightly better in your part of land dear friend!
Today I am sharing some lovely gifts sent by my precious friend Sue and sweet daughter Gabi,hope you will enjoy the look of them.
Firstly a very thoughtful and exceptionally beautiful gift by Sue , it’s calendar of 2026 . Dear and incredibly smart Sue has printed it all by herself , she told she took help from my blog to select photos π€ how nice and wise of her to think of such meaningful gift π₯Ή when Gabi handed it to me I got bit emotional because I felt great warmth and love of dear friend Sue instantly,she really knew what would touch me most π₯Ή Thank you dearest friend Sue and I have placed it right before my eyes on the table front of us in our living room and looking at it each time makes me feel spiritually close to her π₯Ή♥️ I feel so blessed to have you as my friend and I really mean it π«
Sue put both families living far away together on the few pages of calendar,she said that it’s nice thought of having cup of tea together despite all the physical distance and I was happy to know that because my imagination makes such miracles happen sometimes π₯Ήπ€ , the photo below on left she took when we were on video call for the first time π₯°
This gorgeous and pretty traditional Indonesian scarf is gift from sweet daughter Gabi π₯° I fell in love with this honestly despite red was never my colour because of it’s elegant and charming look and fabric seems quite special ♥️ Gabi bought it for me during her visit to Indonesia with eldest son ,thank you dear child for keeping me in mind in far away land π♥️ you really truly are gift to all of us and these words are from the core of my heart π₯Ή
Gabi also surprised me with this quite expensive gift . It’s brand new Smart Keyboard for my iPad π₯° I felt little hesitant to accept such expensive gift actually but then eldest son encouraged me. It makes use of iPad very comfortable and easy for me because I have been missing to have a laptop since older one refused to work anymore after ten years . So thank you so much for this very helpful gift dear Gabi π you are such an angel π₯Ή♥️π«


Lovely gifts given to you, love the calendar it's really nice, Baili.
ReplyDeleteI somehow think within myself that Gabi is somewhat like you :) Sweet, kind, caring and thoughtful.
Take care.
Thank you dear Margaret π₯°
DeleteYes , calendar is very special indeed because it brings sense of closeness to Sue and her family each time I see it π she has created something very meaningful and really appreciate her wisdom π♥️
O you are very kind to think that way dear Margaret π but to be honest how much I know about Sue through my son particularly and since he has met her and family Gabi has all the virtues of her beloved mother. Sue is truly an inspiration as she has done incredible job to keep her family united and happy. She is such a great and loving lady that she has brought up children of her neighbours who were left alone . And it’s surly needed very compassionate heart and patienceπ₯° Gabi seems a true reflection of her exceptionally strong and caring mother ♥️
Such beautiful, thoughtful, and meaningful gifts! It is wonderful how your two families are growing closer together!
ReplyDeleteThanks dear Debra π₯°
DeleteIt’s beautiful and very uplifting experience for me honestly . I admire Sue’s wisdom and dedication to creating a healthy and sustainable relationship between two families. Otherwise I don’t have such guts .I am happy to learn from her π₯Ή♥️
The gifts were from the hearts of Sue and Gabi by the look of it. They are special people and so are you and your family, Baili.
ReplyDeleteGod is kind indeed dear Marie I am grateful for His gift of love and understanding between people living far away. I have always felt that love is most miraculous emotion and if it brings two people or two families closer together then physical distance doesn’t matter
DeleteSuch lovely gifts. So glad your winter is going well. We have had some cold snaps but then mild weather...although, chilly winds. Spring would be great to see in March but I have a feeling with our winter we'll get snow instead. At the moment I am getting over influenza B. I guess it might have been worse if I hadn't had so many vacinations, but it still has left me exhausted. I hope you are well and thank you for such an uplifting post. A delightful read. Much Happiness Everyday!
ReplyDeleteDear friend Ellie π₯°
DeleteI am sorry you are having flu , I hope and pray that you recover quickly π
Thank you for sharing liking for the gifts!
This surprises me how your weather remained mixed of periodical cold and mild and you hope to receive some snow in March ? Sounds like you live in high altitude place .
Glad you enjoyed this post of mine ,get well soon π♥️
Such thoughtful gifts!
ReplyDeleteThanks dear Christine

DeleteGreat gifts from Sue and Gabi. The boys look to be having lots of fun.
ReplyDeleteThank you dear Red
DeleteYes both of younger sons were very happy to spend some time with Gabi ,they found her very considerate and sweet π₯Ή♥️
This post is heartwarming, Baili! What thoughtful gifts from Sue and Gabi. The calendar is precious. I'm glad you're having a good winter. I look forward to seeing flowers in Ali's garden. I think people who care about tending gardens are special. We all experience God through our cultural eyes, but it's the same Creator. Love and blessings to you! ❤️πΊ
ReplyDeleteThank you dear Louise π₯°
DeleteI loved the calendar absolutely , I was desperate to moment when I will reach home and place it right before the eyes π₯Ή I was so happy she thought of it,she is another miracle in my life among many π
Yes I experienced this winter totally in way far different than many previous ones and I am astonished and happy about it π₯°
Your beautiful words about hubby and people who garden are priceless my sweet friend ♥️π
Yes I fully agree that people who are attached with creativity that brings joy and peace to others around them are blessed and special π₯Ή I remember when I would visit my would be in laws as little girl unaware of the fact that I will move here someday after marrying son this house , I would look around and nothing would impress me except few plants waving in little area of that small front yard π I didn’t know who planted them,all I knew that I could relate to that little garden area with two or three plants. When we bought plot for this home hubby planned to build a garden area of ten by ten . I can feel how much peace he drives from his hobby and this helps me to understand what my dear late mom would have felt when she would garden wholeheartedly π₯Ή
Much love and happiness to you and Terry dear friend π♥️
Gabi is a treasure. Wonderful gifts from both Sue and Gabi. You are blessed for sure.

First, Baili, thank you so much for commenting on my birthday post with such kind words. I did enjoy sharing the day with our long time friends who we do not see often as we live in different states now. I like how you shared that Gabi taught you and your son a new fun game. Our friends introduced us to Chinese mah jongg which was new to me as I play the American version and it was also fun to learn a new game which we plan to buy in future.
ReplyDeleteThe gifts from Sue and Gabi were very thoughtful and it is clear that your two families have a wonderful and caring relationship through your children and how special.
How amazing dear Dorothy that you played Chinese game with your friends and it was totally new to you π€ you are fast learner no doubt π♥️

ReplyDeleteThank you dear Linda π₯°π
DeleteDear Baili, your words are morning light,
ReplyDeleteSoft prayers rising with petals and sight.
From winter’s hush to spring’s first sigh,
Your garden blooms where hope drifts by.
Across warm shores and snowy lands,
You hold the world in caring hands.
You notice grace in wind and sea,
In quiet strength and family.
In every post, your spirit shows—
A thankful heart, wherever it goes.
Through seasons cold and seasons fair,
You wrap your friends in love and prayer.
And while I rest and step aside,
Your kindness still walks by my side—
With thoughtful words you leave for me,
Small lanterns of sincerity.
May God keep blessing all you do,
With blooms, with peace, with skies of blue.
Grateful always, this much I say:
Your beautiful heart brightens my way.
