Guardian Angel

Google map has been an acquaintance when I go places. But it kind of abandoned me halfway today.

A sinless being glided to my aid. "Ask, and you shall receive", the Bible instructs us. I received without, surprisingly, asking. In replacement of my google map, an angel took the form of a human being and offered to drive me to my destination. A blessing indeed! :)

He's Home

Finally, after four days of exile in the four walls of the hospital room, my father inhaled emancipation.

The doctor prescribed medications, he is back to his normal routine. Except that an additional item is now part of his everyday list. I talked to him today, and I sensed a renewed man who is ready to embrace life from a different light and from a clean slate. My mom's prayers reached the heavens. A heavy downpour of happy blessings forecast a more meaningful life. Answered prayers, indeed. :)

Sunday School

I arrived a little late today. The kids were earlier than I was, a handful was inside the room patiently waiting for my presence. I stepped in.

An art class transpired within the four walls of our religious class before my arrival. There, on my stainless white board, was the most artistic of drawings I have ever gazed upon. It said, "Good morning, may", with four sketches of smiley faces under the names of the four girls who connived at it. I admit. I was touched. :')

Rainbow

For every obstacle, there's success. For every storm, there is the rainbow. And for every dark tunnel, there is a light seeping through.

My father was hospitalized due to bleeding. But I received the good news today. I thank God for the second chances he profusely bestows upon my family. God is good. All the time. :)

October Procession

It has been a tradition in the church to gather the congregation to a procession in the rosary month in honor of the Blessed Mother. This year, since we are the ones in charge, we conceived of swaying from the norm.

So we spoke with the parish priest yesterday. The first time we asked for permission, answers did not accord to what was initially planned. We sought to clarify some ideas and prayed for the light to shine upon it.

And indeed, it did! We finalized into a compromise, a procession from outside the chapel to the car park instead of a more solemn march from the main church. His agreement was good enough. :)

Birthday Babe

A continuation of firsts. :)

A church sibling invited us to her private birthday party that took place in her home. It was a night of food, karaoke, laughter, and magic!

Lunch

Despite difference in posts and lunch timing, my lunch partner and I still manage to find our common denominator. The queue curled up to a big loop, lunch timing was unpredictable, but in the midst of everything, there was redemption. Eating meals with a company is always preferable. :)
