Gratitude

The last entry was in December 2007. How terribly ill-disciplined I've been.

So much has happened and I think that all has to do with our first pregnancy. Subhan'Allah how amazed I am with this development in our life, and trully blessed too. On a more personal note, nothing makes me feel more resolute than having this baby. And the anticipation of the days leading to the birth is totally the sweetest things in life.

I witness my wife's physical transformation and feel the baby's kicks and movement in her belly, and I thought of the baby's dreamy peaceful state of existence and how he is deeply aware of the sounds coming from his mummy's heartbeat, the intimate and sometimes funny conversation the three of us have at night when the lights are off, the prayers I whisper at my wife's belly, the 99 names of Allah song we play to him, the soothing guitar music of J.S. Bach and Ferdinand Sor, all these... subhan'Allah give me such a warm feeling inside. And I think of nothing but gratitude for His blessings.
