Thank God! #1

This is my "Thank God!" list...
Everyday, there are plenty of things to thank God for. I might not be able to list all of them, but I'd still like to visibly see how much God has blessed me with. One of the things I learned in my course, Child Development and Education, is that children learn faster when they can visibly "sense" the lesson.

1. I thank God that He woke me up today. Many people take waking up for granted. But really, if you ever stop to think about it.... Actually, I think it is so unimaginable for a person to imagine not waking up. Sometimes, the time between the moment you sleep and the moment you wake up feels only a second that it seems like that time didn't matter. What really matters, what people spend time thinking about is the time they spend awake. When they are sure they are awake, that's when they live. Imagine being stuck in your sleep, in a dream... there's no life. :Egad!:

2. I thank God for the Champorado I ate today. I've been eating Champorado for breakfast for the last three days because our helper seems to think that when the weather is cold, we should all eat Champorado. But, alas, I'm sick of it. I still thank God for it, though. I thank God that I can eat something good today, unlike many people who have no food.

3. I thank God for the electricity. I'm serious. Last year, when Millenyo came, we had no power for four days.

4. I thank God for the rain/storm. I thank God for it not because there were no classes for three days because of it, but because I saw how dry the land was in our Three's garden a few weeks back. I remember wishing there was rain so that they would grow. So there, I'm happy for the rain. I just hope our plants don't drown because of it. :D

5. I thank God because my family is complete. Although we have been an international family for a few years now, I  can't help but thank God for always bonding our family in a way many people can't imagine. Last year, too, when Millenyo came, we were complete. It's times like these that I even envy my own family for being so closely knit even when we are far away from each other. I hope when I have my own family, my children will feel the same family bond. Oh yeah, as to why my family is complete... well, my brother had another surprise visit. :D

There's so many things to thank God for. I'll continue to add to this as the days/months/seasons go by... :D
