Here is the sunny bouquet that I brought home. It has lasted a week without waning at all! I'm quite impressed. The leaves are still vibrant green and contrasts so beautifully against the yellow petals.
What do you think, my friends? What should I do?
For He knows our frame; He remembers that we are dust.
As for man, his days are like grass; As a flower of the field, so he flourishes.
For the wind passes over it, and it is gone, And its place remembers it no more.
But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear Him, And His righteousness to children’s children, to such as keep His covenant, and to those who remember His commandments to do them. (Psalm 103:14-18)
Those are halting words. Even though we are ephemeral and our days are just like grass and flower. His mery to us is from everlasting to everlasting. He even made a covenant with us and keeps it.
Doesn't that contrast just stop you in your steps? It doesn't make any sense, does it. Our ephemeral and His everlasting. Our ephemeral to His everlasting. It seems pretty straightforward, but when you think just a bit more, there seems to be so much to think about.
Above are bath rugs that David spotted on clearance from Bed, Bath & Beyond. I think they were $15 each. At first I was kind of skeptical. But in the end they were perfect--in size, color and feel. So we're quite happy with the purchase.
It's pretty amazing that nearly 2 years after our wedding, we still have a positive balance on our BB&B giftcard from our registry!
Here's the skylight that I referred to. In addition, we also have raised, vaulted ceilings. Aren't we just the luckiest ducks. (David just told me that he'd rather be the luckiest T-Rex instead. Um. I think I'll just let that one go).
To the left of the vanity is the toilet room, which you are all very familiar with by now. But another picture won't hurt anyone, will it?
Anyway, that was probably way too much information. But that's the reason why I don't take baths that often even though I like the idea of it very much
Next to the bathmat is our scale we received as a wedding present (whoever you are, thank you!). It's also a daily contest to see who has gained more weight from the previous day. One who loses weight gets mocked and laughed at by the other. Cheating also occurs regularly by someone whom we will not name (*cough* David Jeng *cough*).
So there it is. Our lovely bathroom.
