Gifts From Sue And Gabi ♥️

 

Hello lovely Souls πŸ₯°


Hope and pray that all is well with you and loved ones πŸ™

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 πŸ˜” 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 πŸ₯° March is most beautiful time of the year because of lots of  colourful flowers and joyful breeze πŸ₯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 πŸ€— . 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 πŸ₯ΉπŸ™

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 πŸ€— how nice and wise of her to think of such meaningful gift πŸ₯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 πŸ₯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 πŸ₯Ή♥️ I feel so blessed to have you as my friend and I really mean it πŸ«‚



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 πŸ₯ΉπŸ€— , the photo below on left she took when we were on video call for the first time πŸ₯°


We exchange messages once in a while . Sometimes our chats stretches because of the certain topic of common interest. Faith is the topic we discuss more. Sue is curious how my faith in God works and what is its origin.  I try to explain in my simplified way because you know that I am not a qualified person to do so . The only thing I know about this is that Faith was there when I came into my senses, it was raw and hidden and I revealed it through numerous experiences of my life gradually. Depth of her understanding of life inspires me deeply!  Her curiosity is curiosity of a contemplative person who wants to explore various versions of the story. This makes me her “fan”  I am happy to have someone from whom I can learn more about things I didn’t have any idea about before ♥️


Gabi dear told me that Sue has her favourite tea so I can enjoy it πŸ€— I , me and hubby we both had it few times and it’s so good πŸ‘ , when visit  to Islamabad I will look for this as there are specific shops which keep things for foreigners too because I love it ♥️


This gorgeous and pretty traditional Indonesian scarf is gift from sweet daughter Gabi πŸ₯°  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 πŸ™♥️ you really truly are gift to all of us and these words are from the core of my heart πŸ₯Ή


 Gabi also surprised me with this quite expensive gift . It’s brand new Smart Keyboard for my iPad πŸ₯° 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 πŸ™ you are such an angel πŸ₯Ή♥️πŸ«‚


This is also from dear Gabi , it’s card game,easy to learn and play. I saw my younger son playing different card games with his friends but they seemed difficult when he tried to teach us . This one was so easy to join in instantly. Actually this lovely gift came to us with little sweet and heartfelt story πŸ€— it was our last day together and Gabi and eldest son left for spa appointment after breakfast because we all had to attend the wedding ceremony at the night. Both kids returned in the evening after having extremely busy day as shopping and meeting friends. When they returned they looked exhausted.Eldest son went to his room immediately for rest.I advised Gabi to go to her room and have some rest so she can feel fresh before going to the party . But she refused so politely and gently put her head on my shoulder and said she wanted to spend this time with us . This was really touching and heartwarming for me . She took pack of cards and asked us if we wanted to play cards with her. Me and both younger sons were excited to learn,me particularly , she guided us and we found it very easy. We played together and spent one or little less hour cheerfully having fun πŸ₯°πŸ€—♥️  this little period of time left unforgettable impact on hearts of me and my family πŸ₯Ή Gabi is truly very special ♥️ and we feel lucky πŸ™


                            This is guidelines paper for the game, Gabi dear left it for us to play πŸ₯°

Thank you precious friends for being with me so far πŸ™ it’s your love and kindness I share my heart with you all,thank you for your incredible support ♥️πŸ™πŸ«‚♥️
Health,peace and happiness to you and yours πŸ™

    1. Thank you dear Margaret πŸ₯°
      Yes , calendar is very special indeed because it brings sense of closeness to Sue and her family each time I see it 😊 she has created something very meaningful and really appreciate her wisdom πŸ‘♥️

      O you are very kind to think that way dear Margaret πŸ™ 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 patienceπŸ₯° Gabi seems a true reflection of her exceptionally strong and caring mother ♥️

    1. God 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

  4. Such 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!

    1. Thank you dear Louise πŸ₯°

      I loved the calendar absolutely , I was desperate to moment when I will reach home and place it right before the eyes πŸ₯Ή I was so happy she thought of it,she is another miracle in my life among many πŸ™
      Yes I experienced this winter totally in way far different than many previous ones and I am astonished and happy about it πŸ₯°

      Your beautiful words about hubby and people who garden are priceless my sweet friend ♥️πŸ™
      Yes I fully agree that people who are attached with creativity that brings joy and peace to others around them are blessed and special πŸ₯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 😊 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 πŸ₯Ή
      Much love and happiness to you and Terry dear friend πŸ™♥️

  10. 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.

    The 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.

  14. Dear Baili, your words are morning light,
    Soft 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.

    John @ John’s Island 😊
