Qur'an 20171204

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.

23.  That is whereof Allah gives glad tidings to God's servants who believe and do righteous deeds.  Say, "No reward do I ask of you for this except the love of those near of kin."  And if anyone earns any good, We shall give him an increase in good in respect thereof, for Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Ready To Appreciate.

Floating on a raft

Hi, Natty honey!  You are my honey, too.  Sometimes I address my wives as one, especially when there's something general to share with the public, so don't you ever think that I would leave you or Erin out of my life at any time.  Have you been drinking enough water?  You sensitive sweetheart.  There is a connection between the mind and the stomach, that's how people get ulcers, that's why you prefer certain foods over others.  If you drink lots of water it helps to balance out the effect of stress on your tummy.  Yeah it's a bother to have to pee all the time, but you must look after your precious tummy, especially since you eat like a bird.  Today is Sunday.  Every Sunday morning, I clean my mother's bedroom and toilet.  I'm trying to create a balance for when my wife gets old, that our children will take care of her.  This is taught by Islam, and this is how we will raise our children: they must not abandon their mother when she gets old.  You can appreciate that, right?  After I finished the Sunday morning chore, I made my lunch which was deep fried pocket bread to eat with leftover chili.  It was good and filling, and I didn't have to spend any money today.  I have to do voice training every day after the midday prayer.  I still have a lingering cough from all the continuous rainfall of the past week, so voice training today was like floating on a raft on the big blue sea.  That is also my material life and my finances, like floating on a raft on the big blue sea, completely at the mercy of Allah.  But I have faith that Allah will provide me with wealth enough soon to finance our marriage and family inshaAllah.  Please be patient with me, and pray.
