July to Remember!

Wow, what a wonderful month July has been! I am so thankful to God for all the amazing blessings He has showered upon me this month. I had so many memorable experiences that I want to share with you all. First of all, I was able to visit my parents in Cebu from July 14 to 16 and spend some quality time with them and my adorable nieces and nephew. We had so much fun together, playing games, eating delicious food, and catching up on each other’s lives. It was such a joy to see them happy and healthy. Second, I was also able to reunite with my OSD Angels family and have a lovely get-together dinner that was filled with fun, laughter, and a lot of talks till midnight. It was so nice to see my old friends again and reminisce about our good old days. We also shared our current challenges and achievements and supported each other with love and encouragement. Third, I was beyond grateful for the opportunity to visit the grave of my grandparents and loved ones after 12 long years. It was a very emotional moment for me to pay my respects and express my gratitude to them for their influence and legacy in my life. I felt their presence and guidance as I prayed for them and offered them flowers. And last but not least, I was so grateful to Our Lady of Mount Carmel, after 12 long years, I was able to attend her feast day on July 16 and that was the highlight of my short yet memorable visit to Cebu. I felt so blessed and honored to be part of the celebration and witness the beauty and grace of Our Lady. She has always been my protector and intercessor and I thank her for all the miracles she has done for me.

There you have it, my friends. These are some of the reasons why July has been such a special month for me. I hope you enjoyed reading about my adventures and blessings. I also hope that you had a great month as well and that you are looking forward to August with excitement and optimism. God bless you all!

Blessed Sunday (My first Online Gratitude Journal Entry)

Hello, everyone! I am so excited to share with you that today, July 30, 2023, I have decided to start my online journal. This is something new for me, as I am not really used to writing and journaling, but I was inspired by the homily of reverend Monsignor Santos a while ago. He said that gratitude is the key to happiness and peace and that we should always thank God for the blessings we receive every day. So, I decided to start my online gratitude journal, where I will jot down all the things that I am grateful for these days and the days ahead. I hope that by doing this, I will be able to appreciate more the goodness of God and the beauty of life. For my first entry, I want to express my gratitude for the gift of life. I am grateful that I woke up today with a comfortable bed in an air-conditioned room. I am truly blessed knowing that I have a roof over my head and that I took a bath three times today. I am also grateful that I was able to eat the food I love. Lord, thank you for eve...
