A Season of Fruit Ian Pinto

Life is full of experiences. Some experiences help us grow while others leave a scar. Experiences are beyond our control; we cannot choose, for the most part, what will happen to us. What we can choose, however, is how we react to our experiences. It is easy to enjoy good things and be thankful for them but what about challenges and difficulties? Can we be thankful for them too? We can! We need to have a positive attitude and possess the willingness to face the negative experience and try and find out the good that is hidden inside it. This book is an attempt to reflect critically on my experiences in the past year. The last year of my life has been a rollercoaster year with highs and lows. I enjoyed the good times and felt bad about the not-so-good times. This book is my attempt to face all my experiences and see God's guiding hand through them. There is lots I learnt through the good times and the bad, and I don't want to waste my learnings so I put them down in poetry so that they will remain as a souvenir of a year well spent.
