Moment Captured

'Faith is a knowledge within the heart, beyond the reach of proof. Faith is an oasis in the heart which will never be reached by the caravan of thinking.' - Khalil Gibran


My first making Lemonade from life 'moment captured'. This is the most courageous woman i know. Well over 80 she has suffered everything from a broken hip to a stroke. She has had to face the lemons life has dealt her, from the minute she tries to get out of bed in the morning and realises she cant do it on her own, to the second she tries to use her right hand to eat and find it just won't do what she wants it to... In spite of the blatant reminders of all she can't do she more than makes up for it in the little that she can. How? She can still smile. She can still laugh. She can be with those that she loves and find a blessing in the fact that her family is still there.. for that single moment she can put away the big, fat juicy lemon life has dealt her and SMILE to make lemonade...

  2. This is so true my dear, there are people out there with serious serious problems but they put them aside and smile with others, laugh with others. It is a gift in life that not everybody has. Life is too short to be sad or unhappy over situation that we cannot change. God Bless Granny

    I love you and I am blessed to read this just after waking up

  3. The world truely needs a person like Chisanga to remind all of us of how life is not always peaches and cream. We need to realise that even though we feel as though we are the only ones going through "hell", there is someone else out there who has it worse....I am honoured to have a friend like you Chis because you opened my eyes and you are a guardian angel to everyone!

  7. yeah there is always someone with something a little bit worse than us.. and if we just realised that more often we would stop thinking we have the right to complain and be bitter. the moment we accept that we are having a tough time but still choose to be happy through those around us that love us UNCONDITIONALLY, we will find joy where there lacks happiness...
