Rainy days on Monday... (Gratitude Journal entry 002)

Today, Monday the 31st of July, was a rainy day here in Makati City, but I did not let that dampen my spirits. I have so many reasons to be grateful for this day and I want to share them with you. First of all, Lord, thank you for the gift of life, for waking me up today is such a big blessing. You have given me another chance to live, love, and serve you and others. Second, thank you for the comfortable place I live in. I was able to take a bath twice today and having access to clean water and having a roof over my head is such a blessing. I know that many people in the world do not have these basic necessities and I do not take them for granted. Third, thank you for my job. I was able to work smoothly and harmoniously with my officemates. I was able to talk to them and have some good laughs. I enjoy what I do and I appreciate the opportunity to earn a living and contribute to society. Fourth, thank you to Aaron for his generosity, for sharing his blessings, and for buying some food f...

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...

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...
