I’m thankful for…

3 Replies

the job opportunity that came our way this year;

for the health of my family (no one gets hospitalized or stricken with some ailment this year, thank God);

for my husband’s stable job (he will be retiring in five years time – i’ll pray harder for a miracle so the company will pay this hardworking man in full;

for my kids who are talented and smart enough to make us proud;

for my dear online and offline friends (for their inspiration and assistance, continue to bless all of them);

for my mom and sister’s love and support;

…and for being a wife, mother, sister and friend that I am right now…

THANKFUL

Lord, thank you for the blessings…amen!

“Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.” — Psalm 107:1

Greener pastures

bilI learned from my husband that his younger brother is waiting for a job opportunity in Brunei. He has four kids and need a stable job to support his family in Gensan. My brother-in-law doesn’t have a degree in electrical engineering, but he has relevant experience as electrician for a long time.  He even got numerous contracts in his hometown for his expertise. Now he is looking forward to a challenging and good paying job abroad. Aside from installing and maintaining electrical and power system, he also knows something about material handling. So my BIL’s knowledge is not limited to an electrician’s job. I hope he could be given a chance to work abroad so he could secure the future of his family.

A space of her own

The kids are still sharing a room with us even if there is a separate room intended for them. So you can imagine the clutter inside our room. Since I’m busy with other things around the house I gave them the simplest task of tidying up our room. They don’t have to mop the floor or dust the furniture. Those are the tasks they have to learn one of these days.

One day, my daughter said she doesn’t want her stuff to be arranged because there is something in disarray books and papers that she draws inspiration to study or draw well. Although she promised to fix her things in her own phase as soon as she finished studying or drawing.

Is that a sign of independence already? She’s a big girl now and doesn’t want to be dictated even with matters concerning personal hygiene. The other day I gave her simple tips on how to remove pimples but she simply shrugged her shoulders. She doesn’t care much about how she looks. All that she cares for now is her studies and how to improve her drawing.
