Today morning I got up
with a very sad feeling, as this day reminded me of my son, who was hospitalized
last year at this time, the feeling was terrible, but I do not have the luxury of sitting and
crying about it, as my daughter begins her exams, and I need to send her to
school, so I pushed myself to continue my routine work, preparing my daughter
for school, I remembered my sister’s
birthday, so stopped by on my way to office, to wish her, and then came to the office.
Being early enough – I
went for a long walk in the garden with so many thoughts about my son, and in the
process, I started saying the rosary, I remembered my parents, for they always
prayed, and they had very strong faith in God – I recalled my mom & dad when they lost my 26 year old sister, they wept bitterly, but never gave up praying, and continued
with family prayers, and persistently went to church, read the bible, and
shared their faith with those around them.
This one thought was
enough to empower me today, so I chose to dwell on the faith of my parents, and remembered emmaneul who was joy to me. I continued to work at my office, with his smiling face in my mind, I smiled ........
The scripture verse that came to my mind was Rom.8:28 that says, All things work
together for good, for those who believe in God. I am thankful for these thoughts, and for
this new day. Here is an opportunity to make a difference in the place of work
– and I choose to be different and thankful not only for the gift of my son – Emmanuel,
which means God with us! but also for the opportunity to serve !
Praying for a meaningful Christmas!
