Sensibility

We had a Birthday party last Sunday. L and G had dressed up and were in full excitement. G was wearing her favorite dress, which consists of anything in the world that has a Duppatta attached to it. And when the time came to take the gift before we left for the party, for which usually a fight occurs as to who should hand over the gift to the Birthday Girl, G tells us seriously
"Mama, you can hand over the gift to L because my Duppatta may fall off, if I happen to hand "M" (the Birthday girl), the gift.

Rainbows and Birds

Today I saw my second rainbow after a slight shower of rain in the sun.The new house where I have shifted is very calm and serene with lots of greenery and trees.Its a place where they have really preserved the nature. The birds are of many varieties here. Parrots and Kingfishers are plenty. The Weaver Birds nests are beautiful. There are around 12 nests on one particular tree. Few days back I saw a wood pecker happily pecking at a tree while I was bringing back G from school.
Rainbows are so beautiful and it reminds of Words from the Bible which I like to share.

Genesis 9:12-16
12 And God said, "This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come: 13 I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. 14 Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds, 15 I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life. 16 Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth."
