Gratitude
I thank God for this beautiful day
I thank God that I would be able to spend my half day effectively, from sending the kids to school, husband to work, exercise, grocery shopping, feeding the kids
I thank God that I have the courage to start smiling to the strangers that I met today
I thank God that I am able to keep my calmness despite the kid throwing the tantrum
I thank God for the gift of faith
Saint Story : Saint Benedicta of the cross
Actually when I read her story, it's nothing much and like other saint, she experienced the adversity during the NAZI and genocide times but she remained faithful in her faith until her tragic death.
In this modern days with a lot of temptations that the world offer, sometimes it's not easy to remain faithful but hopefully I am able to remain faithful and humble before God.
True Love and Joy Found
I feel love when the kids kissed me this morning and my husband did kiss me before going off to work
I feel joy when I take a courage to smile to the strangers whom I met, when we exchanged the glances. It reminded me that human is a social creation and it's like natural response when somebody smiles, we will be instinctively smile back even though we don't know them.
I feel joy when I saw a man give way to other man to use the equipment in the gym joyfully
I feel joy when I am able to stay calm when my first son throwing tantrum, didn't want to admit his mistake, and blaming his younger brother. I manage to tell him what is his mistake and what he needs to do to rectify
