Bismillah

There was a girl. Happy parents, happy family, happy home, happy neighbourhood, happy health, happy friends, happy cats were all in her treasure chest. She could come up anytime checking on the them, out of glee without worrying of losing them. She grew up being so much furnished.

The ship she set her journey on, was absence from any savage waves or howling wind or gigantic Titanic iceberg that could crush and cause it to halt. Instead, it was a wonderful sailing, enjoying the scene and breezy air caressed her cheeks, yes sometimes a bit of sea water splashed at her outfit but, hehe she giggled at the refreshing encounter.

What's on her scene? UPSR was her play time, she never really took it seriously. The day came when she knotted her forehead, surprised at the As lining up on the result form. But nonetheless, thank You God..

The next scene- her high school years. The scene when she learned about herself better, thus finding herself. Her real self. She thought it was the climax of the thrill. She was wrong. The days passed where she knotted her forehead, surprised at the blessings being showered to her path, academically- for 5 years straight. One by one. One thing she was sure about, they were all never really from her efforts. She knew it very well.  But nonetheless, thank You God..

All of those scene carved an endless smile while she held tight the treasure chest close to her.
She was too comfortable, not aware of something big in front. Something that halted the ship, slowly. Troublesome. She's stucked. Her view now is a giant iceberg right in front of her eyes. So cold. All she could see is darkness surrounds, no more the wonderful scene. Smile fades and she sit down weakly. She starts to question, "I am very sure i chose the correct direction. I am sure i never done any harm deliberately to the creatures around me. Why this happens?"

Tears cascade down, adding the coldness coming from the freezing ice, making her numb.

Then, there's a voice..
"For years you've been given so much without u even really asking for it, and u never questioned it, you thanked God. So what's stopping you from doing the same, at this another form of- giving?

So what's your TRUE definition of blessing?"

She stares at the iceberg for a long time.

Forgetting to look beyond it, that something even more pleasant awaits behind it.
Forgetting that sunshine will appear, to melt it down.
Forgetting the valuable treasure chest she had lose her grip of... is still there.
Forgetting that now, she has to fix and move the ship, which makes her a better sailor for tomorrows.

All of which make her forgets - "but nonetheless, thank You, Allah!"

and He is with her,

So which of the favors of your Lord would you deny?
