The Little Things

As you might know, the head of a company survived 9/11 because his son started kindergarten.

Another fellow was alive because it was his turn to bring donuts.

One woman was late because her alarm clock didn't go off in time.

One was late because of being stuck on the NJ Turnpike because of an auto accident.

One of them missed his bus.

One spilled food on her clothes and had to take time to change.

One's car wouldn't start.

One went back to answer the telephone.

One had a child that dawdled and didn't get ready as soon as he should have.

One couldn't get a taxi.

The one that struck me was the man who put on a new pair of shoes that morning, took the various means to get to work but before he got there, he developed a blister on his foot. He stopped at a drugstore ! to buy a Band-Aid.

That is why he is alive today.

Now when I am stuck in traffic, miss an elevator, turn back to answer a ringing telephone...all the little things that annoy me.

I think to myself, this is exactly where God wants me to be at this very moment..

Next time your morning seems to be going wrong, the children are slow getting dressed, you can't seem to find the car keys, you hit every traffic light, don't get mad or frustrated;

God is at work watching over you.

May God continue to bless you with all those annoying little things and may you remember their possible purpose.

Have a great weekend, everyone!

my day...

this small purple hearts bracelet rosary is what i received from my husband last Sunday..

my day started with a kiss on my forehead.. i thought i was still dreaming (i was actually dreaming about LOST's Matthew Fox blindfolding me! gasp!) .. and when i opened my eyes, i saw a pair of cute little hands cupping my round face.. it was Kyle. he said Hello Mommy and then hugged me..

my other little tot, Kian, (who's growing more and more manly this days with his new haircut) also kissed me on my left cheek but did not utter a word. he immediately took off so i was left with Kyle. a few mintes later, Hubby announced "It is Mother's Day today" and that I shouldn't do any house chores. of course, i grinned from ear to ear upon hearing this, pero di naman ako nagpahalata na excited ako, haha!

Hubby did the cleaning of the house (with the aid of our househelp)and also did the cooking for our lunch - sinigang - our favorite.. my two cutie pies, as usual, did their round of bouts and squeals.. while i, the lady of the house, busied myself pasting photos and cut-outs on our family scrapbook.. from time to time, my fingers pushed the of buttons on my cellphone's keypad to answer the numerous Mother's Day greetings and text messages.

when Kyle and Kian got tired of playing and shouting and eating and laughing and running, they reached for their bottles of milk, relaxed on their respective cribs and slept soundly.. Hubby & i took advantage of the time that we were alone and managed to take a rest too..

it was 2pm when all of us woke up and Hubby told me to change (clothes) and groom the kids because we're going to the mall.. yipeee! in less than an hour, we spent the rest of the afternoon playing "Shoot That Ball", racing with the Pokemons, punching the Street-Fighters and riding the elephants at World of Fun.. the Token girl was so sweet, she gave me a beautiful Mother's Day greeting card and two free tokens (it's part of their promo, buy 6 get 2 free tokens)..

after two tiring hours, we did our weekly grocery routine and finally ate at McDonalds.. it was already past 7pm when all of us got home and relaxed. but before going to bed, Hubby ended the day with a kiss and then he gave me a small box containing this beautiful bracelet.. he said it would always remind me of him and the One above who is forever in our midst..

and that's what happened during my special day.. thanks a lot Honey.. mwah! iloveyoumuch!
