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 for our snacks. He is such a kind and thoughtful person and I am lucky to have him as a friend. Fifth, thank you for all the blessings and graces that you have given me today, Lord. Forgive me for all my shortcomings and thank you for your mercy and love.
There you have it, my friends. These are some of the things that made me happy and grateful today. I hope you enjoyed reading about them and that they inspired you to look for the good in your own lives. I also hope that you had a great day as well and that you are looking forward to tomorrow with hope and joy. God bless you all!
