There’s a lot of remarkable episodes that unravel before us
that we take less notice or even don’t.
I say the Lord has revealed so much goodness. Let me count
the magnificent ways:
The morning that breaks every day. The splendid orange ball that meets us
each time we wake up. The sweet coffee we get to drink along with the rising
sun. The tasty breakfast we stuff our tummies with – the scrambled egg, toasted
bread, fried hotdog or longganisa and the fried rice sprinkled with complete
ingredients. The chit-chats with family that makes the breakfast even longer.
The job that fills our schedule. The exuberance of meeting the
officemates. The fervour of learning new things on the job whether its
technical, spiritual and social. The lessons we drum up and accumulate. The
people we bump into that inspire and enthuse us. Every joke cracked by friends
that makes us laugh. The simple lunch shared with friends at work. And
chit-chats as well that make lunch more fun.
The dog that makes me more responsible.
The joy of having Logan who keeps
wagging his tails. Who relentlessly wants to play. Who barks tenderly when he
needs you – just for attention, for food or for you just to be around him. Who
warmly looks at you and you can’t help but give in. Who loves when he’s
cuddled. Who excitedly fetches balls. Who bites anything he could he could
bite. Who meets every stranger with exhilaration. Who also makes “tampo” just
like a child. Who also cries when he’s hurt. Whose ears flips when he runs. Who
willingly pleases you. Who is intelligent to follow your commands. Whom you don't want to be hungry so you feed him - food, milk and water.
The wonderful relationships that keep
us sane and in love. The crazy fights over trivial things. The fun of watching kababawan movies together. The incredible experiences together. The love for food even our tummies are bloated already. The jokes we throw about each other.
Let me quote some from Max Lucado's:
Giving the clouds their puff.
Giving the oceans their blue. Giving the trees their sway.
Giving the frogs their leap and
croak. The mighty wed with the creative, and creation was
born.
Thank you Lord for everything. *GASP*
