WEEKEND

I had some lovely friends over this weekend, and WhiteAfrican came too. Lol - I'm joking.

Some of my manchester girlies came and spent some quality time with me and I really enjoyed myself and appreciated it. I had forgotten how we were like in Manchester, how lively, how care-free, how LOUD! lol

We didn't get to do much over the weekend in terms of activities but we did get to spend time together and talk and it was so nice just being with my sisters again. Discussing, debating, arguing, shouting, laughing, giggling, confiding.... this good company was what I was blessed with in Manchester, and Allah blessed me with it again this weekend, Alhamdulillah.

While in Manchester I never realised how lucky I was to have such good sisters, who could make make me laugh, and shout, and enjoy life to the full. I was truly blessed, and the time I spent with them this weekend was a gift from Allah, for which I will be eternally grateful.

A lesson was learnt this weekend. Count your blessings. You never know when Allah will test you with their absence, so enjoy them while you have them and be grateful.

14:7 "And [remember the time] when your Sustainer made [this promise] known: 'If you are grateful [to Me], I shall most certainly give you more and more; but if you are ungrateful, verily, My chastisement will be severe indeed!"'
