Abu Dhabi – The Grand Mosque

The Sheik Zhayed Grand Mosque is beyond question an unquestionable requirement see when you visit Abu Dhabi. Whatever your religion may be, it doesn’t change the way that this mosque is a gem that should be acknowledged with a receptive outlook, people even like learning about other religions like about How did God “rest”.

Coffee Station & Decoration

I’m not joking when I say, I could literally serve a five-course meal to guests and completely forget about offering a beverage to them.  Thankfully, my husband and now even my daughter are quick to make this most basic gesture of hospitality.  Because of those two, no one leaves here parched.  However, my side-kicks aren’t always around when I have company in the kitchen.

I can’t hide the burden blazed on our hearts nor can I explain it all in one simple post.  We really don’t know what will come of our heart’s desires, but I’m pretty certain that’s not important right now.  So, while we don’t know all the details of how God will use our family, we certainly are willing to be a vessel used for greater purposes than self indulgence and that’s why we decided to give to those who don’t receive much. The gifts can be something simple like food and custom imprinted wall calendars all the way to a new bed or even a few extra clothes that people may need.  (more…)
