1st day of the month (Gratitude Journal)

Wow, can you believe it’s already August 1? That means we’re only four months away from Christmas! 🎄 I’m so excited for the holiday season, but first I want to take a moment to thank God for this amazing day. Here are some of the things I’m grateful for today:

  • First of all, thank you God for the gift of life. Waking up today is such a blessing and I’m so happy to be alive. You are the source of my joy and strength.
  • Second, thank you God for the comfortable place I live in and having access to clean water. I was able to take a bath twice today and sleep in a well-ventilated room. I know not everyone has this privilege and I don’t take it for granted. You are the provider of my needs and wants.
  • Third, thank you God for the blessings you gave me today at work. I and my team were able to finish five job numbers today and hit our daily quota. Thank you, God, for always guiding me in my work and giving me wisdom and skills. You are the leader of my career and success.
  • Fourth, thank you God for Aaron, who bought some donuts and toasted siopao for our snacks. I’m beyond grateful for his generosity and kindness. He shared his blessings with us and made us happy. You are the giver of good gifts and friendship.

Lord, thank you for your blessings and divine providence. You always surprise me with your grace and love. I’m so happy that I received my monthly commission and was able to pay some debts. Lord, thank you for today and every day. You are the reason for my gratitude and happiness.

5 things I am grateful for today July 25, 2022

Grateful for the gift of life, for waking up today, and for the comfortable place I live in, I was able to take a bath twice today. I am grateful for my job, that I can buy food for my lunch and dinner, and I can pay some debts and buy some things I needed for my room decorations. I am grateful for Aaron's generosity, he always shares his viand during lunch, and he even bought banana queue and lugaw for our merienda. And I am thankful for his generosity for always consistently sharing his password on Netflix so that I was able to watch my favorite Korean TV show. I am grateful that Nestor called me thrice today. Grateful for all the things that you have given me today Lord. Thank you Lord.

Niño which is in the heart of Cebu City and will be paraded to His foster father in the St. Joseph Parish in Mandaue City, another city next to His domicile. A great number of dynamic and lively devotees will be following the Infant, as He make His way, once a year, to His father Joseph. The Niño stays with His father for a day and a night, while believers from nearby cities and municipalities can join with Jesus’ celebration and have a vigil in the parish. After an overnight stay with His father, He will be voyaging His way to His mother in a nearby island in Lapu-Lapu.
