A Reminder to Self


On nights that you break down, cry yourself to sleep, wanting and thinking of things not at hand, ponder and reflect on this:

It is harder for us to be grateful for things that we do have. And easier for us to be despondent for things we don't have. Whatever life may (or may not) bring, remember that you are so much blessed (soooo much than you think).

Graciously and wonderfully blessed that you have...
- a perfectly abled body (10 fingers, 10 toes, everything is where and doing what it is supposed to be..this one pa lang winner ka na!)
- a loving family and adorable friends waiting at home
- food to eat, roof for shelter, clothes to wear
- work to keep you busy
- money to spend and share in your pocket
- a boyfriend (di ba? you thought you'll be an old hag)
- ARPC and encouraging pastors and fellowships
- passion and joy for cooking and baking
- work (again?) in Singapore (who would have thought, di ba?)
.....[the list is endless]

And this one, alway keep in mind. Even though one or all of the enumerations above may have gone, most importantly, God had and has you...graciously chosen, mercifully saved and eternally loved.

What more could you ask for? :)
