Doors and Windows
When God closes the door, He opens a window.
He opens a window so I can see,
That He’s working it out,
The very best for me.
He opens a window just for me.
These are familiar lines for most of us, but do you know where it came from? As far as my memory is concerned, it was a song from the Joseph the Dreamer soundtrack that my dad has. It’s been with us ever since I can remember and growing up in a family where Sunday School is part of your childhood and Psalty the song book is as famous as Mickey himself, it’s an embedded song lyric in my mind already.
Anyway, you might be thinking what this has got to do with my weekend. I did almost nothing over the weekend, just played around with Mia and finally got to catch up on my reading. I guess I decided to give myself a break after what I’ve emotionally gone through over the week. The photo of the window is just a reminder for me to take things easy, and that even if some things aren’t meant to be, it’s only because God has opened a window so I could see.

my friend has another take on these windows and doors: when God says, “No,” we must have faith that what He has in store for us is something so much better than what we asked for.
I for one am a believer of this.
glad you had a nice restful weekend!

i absolutely agree with you, iris. when one door closes eh eventually another one will open up. sabi nga nila, life’s filled with so many twist and turns. but that’s how we learn. glad you had a beautiful week end. mwaaah
