The Little Blessings

Thanks Joy for posting such a meaningful update on your life in Indi-ah.
(You actually very good at writing and very cheem ok. Don't always say your ang moh no good.)

I was very touched when I read what you had wrote. I read it a few times.
(Also because it's the latest post here la)
Sometimes we just learn to accept people as they are.
Do we, sometimes, take a step back to question why people feel the need to be untruthful about things about their lives? What is it that they are going through that they can't reveal the simplest information about themselves?
I guess even for being able to be truthful, is a God-given gift.

Sometimes I take the little blessings that God had put in my life for granted.

Everyday I see the old and frail in my line of work that makes me thank God that that I am ADL (Activities of Daily Lives) independent - a term we use to assess if the patient can bathe, change clothes, eat, go to the toilet by themselves.
That my own parents and grandma are still quite healthy :)
That I don't have to worry about the next meal on my table
Or worry that I have no clothes or shoes to wear, but rather which one , I want to wear.
That I have a warm home and comfortable bed to return to at night.
& the list goes on man.. not to be so sentimental la but I think I can go on for as long as I want to.

That God had chosen me to be his beloved daughter. That He had given me this priviledge to be able to experience Him and to Share his Love with people around us.

I guess that's the most awesome of it all.
How He loves us with no qualms and no conditions.
I give thanks, mostly, to that.

Love, iivi =)
