It's true that Christmas is a time for giving and receiving but we should be mindful of the true meaning of it. On this day, we remember the birth of our savior, Jesus Christ.
Today, I want to recount the things that I am thankful for.
Today, I want to recount the things that I am thankful for.
Thank you because I am loved.
I know that my immediate and extended family loves me so much despite all my shortcomings and mistakes. I'm thankful for their support and patience. They were there for me -never failing to call me, check on me, remind me that they are there, send something when I need it even without me asking from them. I just feel blessed to have them all.
Thank you to Robinson, who has immeasurable love for me. He has proven so much and yet he continuously proves he loves me especially during these trying times. He's there to take care of me, to be my source of strength and love, to clean me up cause I'm bed-ridden (haha), to surprise me, to attend to my needs, to make sure I feel comfortable. Thank you. I will never know what I did to ever deserve your love.
Thank you to my Kuya baby, Jieshua for being my sunshine. He's always there to remind me that I am strong and that I am loved no matter what. He's the sweetest baby a mom could ever have. I called him when I was in the hospital and told him that baby Jielaena might be coming out of my tummy, he got so excited and he wanted me to come home that instance! He then wanted to setup the crib cause his baby is coming home already! haha.
I would also like to acknowledge the love of my friends who are always there. I know they are all busy but they never fail to check how I'm doing - call, text or visit. They never forgot to make me feel loved. Thank you. I appreciate the small things. Ü
To the true celebrant of Christmas :
Thank you, Jesus for saving me once again. I know that I have never been the perfect follower. I was always in the line between being good and bad and Santa's always tempted to put me in the "naughty" list haha. But you never did let me down. There were times when I thought that you forsake me and let me suffer but it was all for me. It was all a test. I'm sorry if I doubted your wisdom. You know best and Your plans are always greater than mine. Thank you so much for all the blessings and the love. Happy Birthday! ♥ I love you.
I may not have much of worldly possessions. In fact, the few things that I could brag about, I already lost, broke or forgot about. All I wanna have for this Christmas is good health for me, my family and loved ones and also for those who are needing it, happiness and contentment of the heart, forgiveness, hope and love for those who've lost it. I want to believe that I stopped wanting and obsessing about stuffs that don't really matter, stuffs that would fade out of style in a year or so.
I genuinely feel contented that I have all the things I need right here in my heart.
I hope you find the meaning of your Christmas!
Have a merry one! ♥
