My Quest for Quality Yet Affordable Bags

Who does not want quality yet affordable bags? I want to dedicate this post to my cousin Felly from UK  for the TULA bag she gave me. This is my tula story: I want new quality bag for my everyday use. But, I am not rich to buy an expensive bag. As far as I know there are affordable bags that are of great quality. I check out different shops to look for quality yet affordable bags. I want a bag that is simple and and suits in any occasions. A bag that was designed to last long.

Tula keeps popping on my mind while me and my sister are checking out some bags on our favorite local shops. Why on earth I have a tula bag? My Aunt from UK who comes home for a vacation six years ago, gave me Tula bag as present  and, it still in good condition until now. Yes, the local shops we’ve been to has lots of quality bags yet I could not afford to buy them. My sister said that I am so thrifty that she never seen me bought signature bags. Well, I am just a practical person. Why will I sacrifice my budget if I can have a quality bag at an affordable price? Since she loves me that much, she did  not argue with me. Instead, she help me look for quality yet affordable bags in local shops here in our place.

It was out of the blue that I have been to Friends for Leather site and found out that tula bags are on sale. Oops! My Aunt and cousin will take their vacation here this year instead of going to other countries they haven’t travelled yet. What a good opportunity for me to have a new tula bag again. Me and Felly (my cousin who lives in  UK) both loves facebook. With facebook, we are updated on our whereabouts. I posted on “what’s on your mind section” about tula bags, that Friends for Leather shop is on sale, on sale of their tula bags. My cousin who loves tula bags too send me a message of thanks for the information I posted and, she let me choose a design because she will buy new tula bags, one for herself and another one for me. What a great news! I will have my dream quality bag for free, a tula leather bag from my cousin. As I told my sister about it, she just smile and said, “What a great blessing for you to have that.”

The Real Purpose In Life

Have you realized your real purpose in life? Have you read the “The Stonecutters” story by Taylor G. Bunch? I read this  story from one of Adventist’s magazine few days ago and I want to share it to you too for you to be blessed as well. This story will help you reflect what is your real purpose in life.

THE STONECUTTERS by Taylor G. Bunch

As a great cathedral was being erected, a stranger came by and asked a stonecutter the question, “What are you doing?” to which the stonecutter answered, “I am working for my bread and butter.” To him labor was nothing more nor less than a grim necessity. He had a to feed himself and his family. He had to pay for their home and provide the necessities of life. His chief interest in his labor was his pay. Such a motive takes all joy out of labor and makes it a heavy drudgery.

The stranger approached another stonecutter and asked the same question,”What are you doing?” This stone cutter answered, “I am cutting a stone.” His eyes were on the stone, which was the center and extent of his interest. he did not seem to see the complete building filled with worshipers, which would be the result of careful planning and cooperation on the part of many workmen. When the stranger asked the third stonecutter the same question, the man responded, “I am building a cathedral.” This last man has a vision and purpose.

How about you, what are your visions in life and purpose why you live?
