A Family Potrait

Today we all gathered at the photographer's for a family potrait. That is, my biological Mum, my bro, his wife, my sis, her fiance, my husband and my two girls. The day went as much as expected, with all the frills, cumbersome props an heavy make up. When my daughter saw my fake lashes, she said with her eyes wide, whilst staring at my eyes, "Mummy, how come your eye lashes touch your forehead, like Minnie Mouse?"
Then came the poses...it was excruciatingly tiring...trying to make someone with a stiff knee, heavy body (my husband) sit at the edge of the couch, or trying to prop my 9 month old baby to sit up straight and smile at the camera. Perhaps, climbing everest would be a more straightforward task! Anyway, we all had fun. Especially when my eldest daughter took to the limelight by posing and screaming "1,2,3 SMILE" before each shot was taken.
At the end of the day, you know its really these little occasions that make life a little lighter. I thank God for these moments..though rare and short...but I know that God is like my spare. When I feel tired, HE would take turns with me, carrying my burdens. Knowing this, I know I would still go on....Thank you Lord.
